Our holiday was FANTASTIC  definitely lived up to all my expectations and spending my birthday on the Galapagos was very special. The highlight was probably snorkelling with the sea turtles. We saw so much of the remarkable wildlife of the Galapagos and were  also very lucky to see a pod of pilot whales while we were navigating just after crossing the equator which was so exciting and also some bottle nose dolphins.

We had a very good time on the trip, the highlight was the people we were with; we seemed to hit it off very well.  The ages and interests were well chosen. The accommodation was first rate; I didn’t realize it would be so soft.

Hi Tom – currently at Quito airport waiting for my journey home. Just wanted to let you know that the riding was FANTASTIC and the Galapagos trip was WONDERFUL!

It was all a highlight really! The riding week was fantastic in terms of the setting / organisation/ quality of leadership / quality of horses and group composition.

And ditto in relation to the Galapagos Islands trip!

Sally was an excellent and knowledgeable guide – as was Martha on the Angelito.

The accommodation was all excellent – the right level of comfort, not 5 star luxury but perfect for me. The overall organisation was also great, and the agency in Arequipa was the best organised, providing me with a detailed itinerary on my arrival.

The highlight was completing the Inca Trail – luckily we had perfect weather on the morning we arrived at the Sun Gate. A close second was the homestay on Lake Titicaca.

I really enjoyed the holiday – truly a holiday of a lifetime! – all the arrangements worked perfectly. Thanks again for arranging such a great itinerary. I´m already thinking about my next South American trip! 

We had the trip of a lifetime. It was amazing – muy estupendo! The whole thing was seamless. It was so well organised and everyone couldn’t do enough to help. THANK YOU for pulling it together… 10/10 for everything.

You have a great team down there in La Paz. Very organized and well equipped. I really enjoyed it. The scenery is phenomenal!!! Maria is a great cook and never failed to surprise me with the freshness and quality of her meals.    Osvaldo was very competent and it was great that he spoke perfect English so dinner conversation was not lacking.

I hope I can do another trip with your company. Thanks for everything.  

Thanks to your wonderful organising the Patagonian leg of our trip went extra smoothly and we had a most enjoyable visit there as well. All the accommodation was excellent and in most places we were upgraded to great rooms with great views. Perfect for photographers to check out the sunrises and sunsets.

The organisation and the food were excellent – easily the best I have had on a trek.  The food was both good to eat and plentiful.  The cook at the second camp was particularly good and his baked salmon dish was the best meal of the trip – better than anything the restaurants produced.

Difficult to pick out one particular highlight as we had amazing views of Fitzroy, Paine, and Ushuaia.  The whole trip was wonderful, but if there has to be one particular highlight, I would probably select the morning spent on the Beagle Channel. 

The ship, the Anahi, was excellent, and the islands were amazing. Highlights: Snorkelling with sea lions, sunrises on the top deck, sunsets at the bar. The boat, the MC Anahi, was excellent. Good cabins, well serviced, excellent food, friendly well-organised crew, superb guide, great itinerary. It couldn’t have been better.

Speaking for myself, the Ausangate trek, end to end, was superb and was easily my high point. The uniqueness of the trip, the quality of the walk, the height of the lodges, the warmth of the fellow guests, the genuine helpfulness and friendliness of the staff and guides all combined to make something extremely special and that I don’t think could be repeated. 

The accommodation varied from good to superb. The food was certainly a surprise and was of a much higher standard than expected. The guides were both top class and the overall organisation was exemplary. Could not be any better, from initial conversations, which were many, to the booking process.

Both Amazon rainforest and Galapagos were excellent. The boat selection and the cruise itinerary were outstanding.

Everything was perfectly organised. All parts of the trip fully in line with the itinerary.  Local representatives were available at the meeting points, they organised the documentation, the transport, everything.

Everything was excellent, the guides were very professional and helpful. Accommodation was also well selected, fully in line with the expectations.  Next time, we will spend more time in Ecuador and visit other parts of this fascinating country.

The food was really good and beyond my expectation. The restaurants chosen on the whole were excellent. 

Best hotel was Albermarle on Isabela. Great location and very well run unit with nice touches like tea/coffee in reception at all times.  Blue Marlin on San Cristobal good too but not in same class as above.  Hotel on Floreana was very basic with poor showers- either got scalded or ice cold…however what a location right on beach.

Really had a great time. Guide on Galapagos first rate and he really helped make the tour. Loads of experience and born in the islands. Good people person and he really helped get best out of holiday.  

Good itinerary and we were lucky with weather as island transfers were fine.  

Thank you for organising such a splendid trip for us. Overall we were happy with how it turned out. The two best hotels were the Casa Andina Private Collection in Arequipa and the El Mercado Tunqui in Cusco. The guides were of a particularly high standard. We enjoyed Peru very much ( we really needed a little longer in Cusco) and are grateful to you for arranging it all. 

Highlight is definitely the Galapagos. I loved the animals & their friendly nature, all of the trips & activities, the people & the guide was awesome. The fact that this part of our trip ran so smoothly & the accommodation was good particularly being so close to the sea. 

I would definitely recommend Andean Trails to others. 

The overall organization was excellent, especially with the chauffeurs at key points taking all the stress from us. The weather was great with a bit of everything, but mostly sunny and warm. Views on the glacier were amazing and very appreciated after a four hours of trekking.
