Peru

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our Zicasso travel agent listened to our wish list and made our trip happen just as we had asked. She asked the right questions and got to know us and what kind of experience we were looking for. We appreciated her partnership with the tour operator in Peru who put everything together and made our trip exceptional. The guides and staff were great – very informative and helpful. Our guide for five days in the Sacred Valley, Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain was a delight and we enjoyed his stories about growing up in the area. Overall, the trip was a great experience.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Of course, Machu Picchu was the highlight. Flying over the Nazca Lines was interesting, to say the least, though half the plane (out of 12 passengers) was sick from the flight maneuvers. The tour operator did a fantastic job with the picnic and each place we visited had a unique interest. We liked the variety.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

Our trip was perfect.

Travel Company Comments:

Dear Donna,

I’m delighted that overall, you enjoyed your trip very much! I’m so glad I was able to offer a selection of experiences that were just what you were hoping for. My colleagues in Peru are very special and I’m so happy you had the opportunity to get to know some of these very kind and knowledgeable people. I agree; they’re wonderful!

I certainly am sorry about your experience with the Nazca Lines flight! My Peruvian colleagues have sent your comments to the plane’s operator and I’m confident we will either use a different Nazca Lines flight operator or, at the very least, require a different pilot for future travelers. I haven’t had any past travelers get ill on this flight before so it sounds like this can be fixed for future travelers by changing this supplier and pilot.

It was my pleasure to help you and your friends visit Peru. Hearing you say your trip was “perfect” is what makes all my hard work worthwhile. Yay! Thank you so much for trusting me with your important, bucket list Peru adventure. I’m standing by if I can help you with any future Latin American adventures.

Wishing you, Mick, Raluca & Tim all the very best! : )
