This has to be one of my best trips ever!! Highly recommended! The Galapagos has to be on everyone’s bucket list!
I am reborn! Simply the best holiday I have ever been on. I don’t think I would change anything.

The highlight was really reaching the highest point of the trek on Day 2 at 4732m. It was tough moving at those altitude, we also experienced a small hailstorm enroute.
I was very satisfied with the standard of the accommodation, food and guides.

The trip was brilliantly well organised by yourselves. Everything worked as it should in that all transport arrangements were great and people appeared where they should and delivered more than we could have ever expected.
Guides for the Cusco City tour (Clara) and the Peru mountain biking trip (Carlos) were excellent and both trips were very informative and comprehensive. The mountain biking provided a good acclimatisation opportunity for us, although we weren’t up the 20 miles it was suggested we do at the outset.
We felt your kit lists and general advice was great for preparing us for what to expect.

Organisation was excellent. We were happy with all of our guides, they were knowledgeable and personable. Food was great and I liked that all of the hotels had some history behind them. We loved the order; it was nice to have the slower paced Amazon after the big hike. I think if the Amazon had been first, I would have been impatient to get going and do more, but as it was, all the down time was much appreciated.

The week in Torres Del Paine was incredible – I think honestly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. I would definitely recommend it as a “must-see”. Our hotel in Punta Arenas was nice – it was well placed in town for us to walk around and try some local restaurants and the breakfast buffet was ok.

Wow!! What an amazing trip. There really was no particular highlight as every segment was so different and so amazing! Basically the highlight was the whole trip! Everything ran like clockwork. All the tour guides/drivers were on time and all transport was on time (flights, buses, taxis). Everyone was friendly and helpful and not once were we made to feel scared or unwelcome.
Thank you so much for all your help with organising this trip of a lifetime. I am so happy with my decision to choose Andean Trails as our guide for this five week trip and of course I will be recommending (have already actually) Andean Trails to family and friends.

Our guide (Santiago Mata) was a strong positive factor — knowledgable and very helpful, but not intrusive; flexible and anticipatory of any problems that might have been encountered.
Accommodations were fine — some more interesting than others, but all more than adequate. We spent relatively little time in the hotels and generally stayed in each only one night, so cannot give a critical evaluation, but overall, they were all fine. Food was also fine. We ate “local” foods as much as possible, generally with our guide’s advice, and had several very nice meals in the more urban areas. Overall organization worked our just fine for us.

Incredible! We had an amazing time on the Inca Trail! The accommodation and food surpassed all our expectations – out of 4 months travelling through South America it was some of the best we’d had. Our guide Diego was great – crazy but very knowledgeable – cheery and upbeat with a vast knowledge of Inca culture and the local environment.

The overall organisation was very good, as were the guides. The Lago Grey was the the best hotel – it was excellent. The Hotels Diego Velazquez (Santiago City) and the Taha Tai (Easter Island) were both excellently located, but were only average hotels. The Holiday Inn at Santiago airport was excellent and the Hotel Wesker (Puerto Natales) was very good.
Thanks again for your organisation

We had an absolutely amazing time in Peru – an experience we will never forget so a very big thank you to Andean Trails for organising things so expertly. The highlight for us undoubtedly was the Ausangate trek. The views and wilderness were second to none but for us perhaps what made it so special was the guide, Ruben, the crew and the two girls who were also on the trip, Sylvia and Anna.
Thank you so much for everything.

The Galapagos certainly met our expectations in terms of wildlife. Particular highlights were probably snorkelling with sea lions, swimming with green turtles, and being surrounded by hundreds of marine iguanas.
The food on the boat exceeded our expectations and it was nice to have table service rather than a buffet for the evening meal. The guides were extremely knowledgeable. Organisation was very smooth indeed and all the transfers went perfectly. It was nice to have the same driver, Fausto, for all the transfers during the trip.
We also enjoyed our trip to the Highlands prior to the cruise. Both Hacienda Jimenita and Hacienda Pinsaqui were lovely with very welcoming staff and great character.
There is nothing I would have planned differently about the trip. Even the weather was perfect!
We had a wonderful mountain trip! The whole week was very well planed and we really liked our local guide Rami. The whole trip was very well organised. Specially through you. You answered my emails and question so fast. I specially have to thank Tom on Andean Trails for that! He is wonderful!! The accommodation were also good, no complaining at all. The food was really nice!

We had outstanding service in Bolivia. I would especially recommend Gabriel and his drivers from the local team. We also had great guides for our Salar trip. The car was great and the driver and guide were fantastic. Very reliable and wonderful.
Thanks so much for all of your patience and help in planning this trip. It has been really great and there is no way I could have coordinated the Bolivian part on my own.

The trip was very amazing and we will definitely recommend Andean Trails to our friends. Highlight of the holiday was definitely the biking, Miguel our guide was amazing and made sure we were safe and comfortable. The biking was organized and setup very well, the biking company had everything together. Food was great, Miguel our cook/guide was an amazing chef! Accomodations for the biking were great. Overall this is an amazing mountain biking opportunity and you see many different landscapes during the bike.
Inca Trail trek was organized well and had great food and guides. Overall it was a great company that had knowledgeable guides and staff.

We actually thought that everything was perfect.
Organisation, the itinerary, the choice of accommodation, the guides — everything was wonderful.
As we are not Spanish speakers we were glad that you did all the bookings, and organised English speaking guides for us.
