Peru

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We were very pleased with the service provided by the travel company. Having booked a cruise, we decided to add an extra "piece" to round out our trip. The travel planner coordinated our addition seamlessly. Besides the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, the planner recommended several other points of interest where we learned about agriculture, history, and culture (addressing our specific interests ).
The planner's advice on hotels was spot-on. Most especially in the Sacred Valley hotel was magnificent. Guides and trips were coordinated with no hiccups. Navigating Covid requirements for both Peru and our return to US was fully facilitated by the travel planner with no worry on our part.
We strongly recommend the travel company. They listened to our interests and did a wonderful job tailoring our trip. The travel company was especially careful that all financial transactions occurred over secure networks. They are professional, competent, readily available (during planning stage and the active phase of the journey), and very pleasant.

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

Highlights of the trip:
Machu Picchu was spectacular. To address Covid, masks were worn and the number of visitors restricted. The train ride to the site was informative and scenic.
Ollantayambo and Moray were quite interesting. We learned about the Inca culture and history from our very knowledgeable local guides.
Our trip to a local farm with a farm-to-table lunch from their products was outstanding. We visited a local Inca family for a traditional lunch and had a fabulous time. Our conversation (via our guide translating) led to an unplanned traditional weaving demonstration by the local women. (a very special memory)
A horseback ride arranged with the hotel's stable was phenomenal. The Peruvian Paso horses have a very smooth gait. The saddle and stirrups are very different from western gear making the ride both comfortable and interesting. The scenery was wonderful.

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

We would spend more time.
