Testimonials

We arranged a family activity holiday to Peru with Andean Trails and had the holiday of a lifetime. The first week we spent in a lodge in the rainforest seeing lots of tropical animals and birds including an opossum which raided our biscuits. For the second week we flew to Cusco where we went white water rafting, mountain biking, and horse riding, as well as visiting lots of Inca sites including Machu Picchu. For the final part of our trip we took a bus to Lake Titicaca and spent a night on Amantani island. We had a really amazing trip, the guides who looked after us were fantastic, the travel plans all worked without a hitch and the children loved all the activities that had been organised for them.

Guide Zack: most excellent, we could not have wished for a more able communicator, organiser, and also knowledgeable guide. It was not easy for him with a group with three kids. He always explained things well, whether is was about was historical or cultural or organisational things. Zack also showed a great personal effort that went well beyond his duties as a tour guide, for instance spending his private time with us in the evening. THANK YOU, ZACK! Cycling was a lot of fun, it started off slow as there had been quite a lot of rain during the night. Zack showed us a very interesting historical sight. After this, there was much more cycling in fantastic scenery. We enjoyed this very much. I was a bit worried as there were very steep drops and I decided to cycle mostly in between my youngest son and the drop. The day's walk to Machu Picchu was one of the best walks I have done in my life (and I am a mountain guide and have walking a lot in Scotland and elsewhere).
