Travel Review: Tour of Peru, Ecuador & Galapagos Islands, Cusco, Machu Picchu

This travel company is serious at providing a great vacation. My husband and I personally plan our trips but this time, we tried a travel company. Our travel agent reached out immediately to assist us in planning our South America trip. I basically just told him the dates we can do the vacation and which places we wanted to go and he took care of everything. That saved a lot of time, not to mention the stress of planning for the "perfect getaway". When you are in a foreign country, it is very comforting to know that you will be with people who knows the ins and outs of the places you are visiting. Our tour guides were exceptional. I would like to make special mention of our guides in Ecuador, Cusco, Macchu Picchu, and our tour guide in Galapagos. Our guide in Ecuador was very approachable and that was very important. He was our first contact person in South America and gave us our "first impressions" of how the rest of the trip would be. The guide in Cusco was  very passionate at what he does, I loved listening to his narration of Cusco's history. You will appreciate a place better when you understand its history. Do not miss listening to him, you will enjoy it! I learned so much of Macchu Picchu from our guide, but what I will remember the most is his wisdom. He taught us that "the best camera is our eyes and the best memory is in our minds". Our tour guide in Galapagos went above and beyond. When we told him that our camera lens broke (worst thing that can happen when on vacation!) and our GoPro didn't seem to be working, he borrowed his nephew's GoPro so we can capture the beautiful marine life while snorkeling. How wonderful is that? I also would like to praise the crew of our yacht. They are hard-working and made sure we had a comfortable sail. This travel company's service is excellent and we were blown away at how special they made us feel during our vacation. My husband kept raving at how our travel agent did a great job planning for our trip because everything was beyond our expectation. Thank you again!
