The ship, the Anahi, was excellent, and the islands were amazing. Highlights: Snorkelling with sea lions, sunrises on the top deck, sunsets at the bar. The boat, the MC Anahi, was excellent. Good cabins, well serviced, excellent food, friendly well-organised crew, superb guide, great itinerary. It couldn’t have been better.

Speaking for myself, the Ausangate trek, end to end, was superb and was easily my high point. The uniqueness of the trip, the quality of the walk, the height of the lodges, the warmth of the fellow guests, the genuine helpfulness and friendliness of the staff and guides all combined to make something extremely special and that I don’t think could be repeated. 

The accommodation varied from good to superb. The food was certainly a surprise and was of a much higher standard than expected. The guides were both top class and the overall organisation was exemplary. Could not be any better, from initial conversations, which were many, to the booking process.

Both Amazon rainforest and Galapagos were excellent. The boat selection and the cruise itinerary were outstanding.

Everything was perfectly organised. All parts of the trip fully in line with the itinerary.  Local representatives were available at the meeting points, they organised the documentation, the transport, everything.

Everything was excellent, the guides were very professional and helpful. Accommodation was also well selected, fully in line with the expectations.  Next time, we will spend more time in Ecuador and visit other parts of this fascinating country.

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.
