- What was the highlight of your holiday? Was there a low point? Highpoint - the great tour guides and visit to Machu Pichu.  Low point was a flight cancellation in Lima.    - How would you rate accommodation/ food/ guides/ overall organisation? Fantastic!  The hotels were all lovely and the tour guides were friendly, smart and helpful. In Lima when we ran into trouble with a flight cancellation, Alan's team on the ground went to great lengths to rebook us on a new flight (with a different airline).  Had it not been for your office in Peru we would have been stuck in Lima over night and missed out on Tambo del Inka, which was a lovely resort.      - Did you feel you benefitted the local communities? Somewhat.  We are not shoppers, so each time we wound up at a 'market' we didn't really buy.    - What would you like to do differently next time? Spend more time in Cusco and the Sacred Valley.  We could have skipped Lake Titicaca.     -   Out of interest why did you choose the places you visited and why Andean Trails to organise your trip?  Our goal was to visit Machu Pichu and Alan put together the rest of the trip around that highlight.  We came away with a great feel for Peru and (fingers crossed) would love to revisit one day.

Andean Trails helped us organise a memorable family trip through Peru and Bolivia. We loved exploring the diversity these countries have to offer - coast, desert, mountains, salt flats and rain forests – with a balance of culture, activity and a little bit of R&R! I generally like to do the research for trips myself but after the initial research phase, it was great to have Tom as an expert partner, focused on delivering what we wanted to get out of the trip, whilst adding value by suggesting things that would enhance our experience. He provided an invaluable sense check on what was possible, adding support and expertise to make our ambitious plan a reality - e.g, organising private transfers to get us to where we needed to be before the border closed etc. and providing the reassurance of a ‘go to’ person on the ground for help when needed. He was fabulous to work with and it felt like planning the trip with a friend. Tom really knows the people and places in all the locations and his suggestions for activities to keep everyone in the family interested and entertained were spot on, meaning we had lots of cool things to do with wonderfully knowledgeable guides, including special times on Lake Titicaca with a home stay on Amantanti. Thanks for helping us create the most memorable family trip.
