Dear Marco,

Of course, I received the customer survey sheets to fill out during our Peru adventure. Maybe we filled out one near the end of the trip. I'm not sure.

For business and/or pleasure I've traveled outside the U.S. borders rather consistently for over 40 years. With family or friends I've visited-as a tourist-from Petra to Patagonia and most everything in between including Saudi Arabia and a few other 'you can't go there' destinations.

I have never traveled with any group as good as View Peru. Accommodations, transportation, information and View Peru supervision was perfect. During the trip I scribbled down names of travel personnel that I felt were many notches above the norm, but upon reviewing the list I find it includes everyone you and your company assigned to our journey.

And all of this leads up to what are we going to do next? I visited the Galapagos about 15 years ago, but other members of my adventurous family have not. ( I don't think they would enjoy the cramped cabin in the small wobbly boat I was in.) We are thinking about a trip to the Galapagos sometime around the second week of January 2008. Our group may be larger, possibly 6 to 8 adults. Ideas?

Regards,

Hello Marco,

Just wanted to send a quick e-mail to thank all at View Peru for an amazing time in South America. The trip was a dream of a lifetime to see machu picchu and the sacred valley to diving in the galapagos and seeing hammerheads by the dozen. In particular I would like to thank the team in ecuador who helped me extend my stay.

The trip has given me a real kick for South America and next time I will want to do the Inca Trail, the Colca canyon, Lake Titicaca and onto Bolivia for Potosi and Atacama and the salt flats. It goes without saying that I will contact you when I do this and obviously I will recommend View Peru to anyone who asks.

Best wishes and Kim Humphreys

Hello Marco,

Our family just returned last night from our trip to Quito and the Galapagos Islands. We all enjoyed this fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything went very well. The only difficulty we had was with the rough seas during the cruise, but of course, nothing could be done about that, since this is normal for this time of year there. The seasick medicine helped.

Thank you for your great help and advice in arranging this wonderful tour for us. Next time we consider a trip to South America, we will call on you again. I will also recommend you and your company to others who may be interested in this destination.

Best regards,

Tony Tran and family.

Dear Aderly,

I recently returned to the United States after a vacation in Peru with your company, and I would like to commend to you several of your staff members who made my family's trip to Peru very special.

Claire Kos arranged our trip with finesse and flexibility, allowing us to spend our twelve days in a very personalized manner. We were fortunate to be able to meet her, along with Sean, our final night in Lima, and her energy and passion about Peru make it obvious why she is such an accomplished travel consultant.

Jose Medina was our guide in Cuzco and while on our Salkantay trek, and he was a highlight of our trip. His knowledge of the history of Peru was fascinating, and he was the consummate guide in every way. We feel very fortunate to have been assigned such an experienced guide, one that knew the trail inside and out, and his integrity, personality and team attitude were outstanding.

Our cook, Ascensio, was unforgettable! To think we were served such delicious, beautifully presented meals while working out of a movable tent and horseback-provided supplies was mind boggling. His gracious personality along with his obvious culinary talent made us all look forward to our daily meals. He was assisted ably by Angel, the cook's assistant, who also was such a humble and friendly staff person.

Daniel, the person in charge of the wranglers and provider of the horses, was a delight. He was so kind and considerate of us, and seemed to be a true leader of his staff, providing a role model of hard work and attention to detail. The wranglers, too, were very hard-working, friendly, and they all worked as a cohesive team.

Our trip to Peru was one we will always remember with fondness and vivid memories. Whether it was climbing Huayna Pichu or seeing the glacial ice caps by moonlight, our time in Peru was una viaje llena de experiencias fantasticas.

Sincerely,

Mary Ann Buchan

Dear Marco Antonio,

I just thought I'd let you know what a fantastic time I had on my Peru trip. I hope that you will be able to pass on my thanks to your team over there for making my holiday so special. I would especially like to mention Marco, who was not only an excellent driver for the journey to & from Nazca/Paracas but also made a great stand-in guide in spite of the language barrier and the Hotel San Blas in Cusco, which is not only one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in but also has the most helpful & friendly staff.

The entire trip was incredible: the scenery was breath-taking; the weather and the hotels were wonderful and I was made to feel extremely welcome. I not only have some amazing photo's of my trip to Peru, but some wonderful memories that I'm sure will stay with me for a very long time.

Many Thanks,

Ms. D Conway.

Hi Aderly

I would like to thank you for organising a great itinerary. I really enjoyed South America and my favourite was Cusco esp the hotel Casa San Blas. Thank you for recommending the latter hotel. The View Peru staff were friendly and well organised and in particular please thank David and Barbara as they were great. I would definitely come back to South America and also recommend View Peru to anyone wanting to travel in South America.

Once again thank you for a great holiday

I would be remiss if I did not let you know how much fun we had on the trip that you arranged for us. The Mary Anne was first rate and we enjoyed the company of her captain and crew, our naturalist guide, Carlos, and most of the other guests.

Everything went off without a hitch or glitch.

Thanks for all.

Dear Marco,

I have wanted to write to you to tell you how great our trip was to South America.We felt very special since the trip was done first class.

Patagonia is absolutely spectacular. The combination of cities like Santiago, Chile and Buenas Aires balanced out with the natural beauty of the Mountains and glaciers from Ushuaia to Torres del Paine. I am glad we added the day in Valparaiso with that great lunch at the beginning and going to Foz Iguacu at the end of the trip. ( Only wish we had another day in Foz Iguacu and another day in Baraloche. The guide for the trip around The lake was great, but would have rather had the day for the tram ride and some time at the hotel.) The food in Argentina and Chile was great. Whether you are a meat eater or lover of fish you will not be disappointed and the prices for our dinners were fantastic. ( always with great local wines) The guides were pleasant, informative, and courteous and on time.

Having our own private cars and guides gave us a chance to have more in depth understanding of each country.

Marco, when you took over it was a breath of fresh air to to feel confident that the trip would run smoothly and to get my questions answered in a timely way over the internet. Then when on the trip everything went like clock work. There was always someone there to meet us and help us I know for sure there is one couple, The Eatons, that want to do our same trip with you next year, in February like we did. I would be more than happy to speak to anyone to highly recommend your tour and represent you in California.

Thank you again. We will surely be in touch the next time we plan a trip to South America.

Sincerely.

Hello Marco,

Just wanted to let you know what an absolutely incredible trip we had. From start to finish, it could not have been planned better. We were so well taken care of, it was definitely a Luxury vacation for us.

The Hotel in Lima, was definitely high class. They had the nicest sheets I have ever slept on. The service was second to none. We really appreciated the hotel on the way back, by the way, it was a good choice. We ended up spending the afternoon there, by the pool and a fabulous meal that evening before heading to the airport. You were definitely right on that point, we would not have enjoyed an entire day without a place to relax and freshen up.

Cuzco was beautiful, but unfortunately I was not feeling well there at all, for all three nights there. As a matter of a fact, we met some people who were essentially doing the same trip with different tour companies and I found it interesting that all the women were ill there and not so much for the men. Do you notice that with your feedback from everyone?

Machu Picchu's elevation did not bother me at all, and we had the most incredible time there. The weather was very warm and sunny the first day and we had the very best tour guide. Rueben is great. We were quite surprised when the other six people we were traveling with, had one guide for all of them, and Rueben showed up to tell us he was our own personal guide. What an incredible place it is. We hiked to the Sun Gate the next morning at 6 am to catch the sunshine, but unfortunately it was not to be, as it was raining just slightly. The benefit to that, was we had the trail to ourselves for almost the entire morning.

Anyway, I'm sure you've heard all this before, so I won't bore you anymore. Just wanted to let you know that the trip was incredible and well worth the money. The food was more than great, and the tour guides and the View Peru people were great. Also the drivers are wonderful. I have to say, I appreciated the great vehicles we got to tour in and I really felt at ease with the professionalism of the drivers. It is truly a top notch tour and we will recommend it to our friends.

Thanks again

Bonnie and Ken Cardinal

G'Day Marco,

I just wished to express my sincere gratitude for arranging the most outstanding journey for me down in Peru. The 4d/3n on the Inca Trail, as well as Match Picchu were beyond what words could describe. Never mind my personal physical exertion, I loved every second of it and would not trade this experience for anything (mind you, I am taking an elevator everywhere for the time being as I cannot stand a vision of a staircase after having climbed sooooo many of them on the Camino Inca :-).

The Casa San Blass was absolutely adorable. I loved its Mediterranean feel, coziness and an outstanding service. Thank you for suggesting it.

Also, I was absolutely in awe with friendliness and kindness of Peruvian people. You chose, albeit temporarily, to live in a country of great people with even greater history. However, it was heart wrenching for me to observe the level of poverty so many of them live in and the hardship they have to endure just to feed their families.

This journey was not only educational, and in more ways than one, for me. It was also very humbling. Though I do not come from wealth and had to struggle and work hard all my life, I did manage, despite personal efforts, to start taking certain things in life for granted. This journey was a wake up call for me. Listening to my heart, I would say this was by far the most valued experience of all.

Shaun, thank you for your outstanding service in suggesting and arranging this journey for me.

With kindest regards,

Iskra Mrakovic
