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.

Choquequirao was fabulous, remote , a real sense of achievement having trekked in, the guide was really informative and there was a spiritual feel to it.  Hotels absolutely fine as expected – tents new clean and functional first class – on Trek food was fabulous and way beyond expectations – fresh local produce prepared with a skill and passion that I have no idea how it was managed . 

This was an excellent package and delivered exactly what I hoped and expected  and having met new friends and a great support team really a bit more than expected.

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.
