W. Kyle, USA. 4-day Inca Trail trek, Cusco and Sacred Valley, April 2025 Food was awesome, at our Cusco hotel and on the Inca trail. There were so many highlights: the way our guide explained in great detail about all the birds, plants (especially all the different orchids), in addition to his knowledge on all the ancient historical sites was quite amazing. It made the trail more like an adventure, instead of a hike. All of the people at the hotel in Cusco were very helpful, especially Kevin, who brought oxygen to my room Saturday morning when I was still having issues adjusting to the high altitude in Cusco. The other tour guides, Eddie on the walking tour of Cusco, and Mateo, who did the Sacred Valley tour were good. Andean Trails was recommended by Responsible Travel, my first contact for this adventure.

D. Joselow and family, USA. Land-based Galapagos holiday, April 2025 The accommodations were great - clean, comfortable, and well located.   The food was good, especially the farm lunches.  We also really enjoyed the meals on the boats. The overall organization of the trip was terrific.  We were a big group and everything ran as expected.  We could not have felt better taken care of.  Everyone was very kind and very gracious. Honestly, the entire trip was exceptional.  We definitely loved the wild life, on land and on/in the water.  Learning the history was also great.  The Interpretation Center on St Cristóbal was small but very informative.  We also loved our boat trips - Kicker Rock, Española,Tuneles. Guide Maritza is a treasure.  She has great energy and a clear passion for the place.  She was patient and good humored, exceptionally hard working and incredibly knowledgeable.  We were told she was a last minute substitute.  We sure got lucky.  We didn’t know we were going to have our own private guide for the entire time.  That actually made the trip and I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Galapagos. The boat crews on St Cristóbal and Isabela were kind and funny and thoughtful.  We had a blast spotting dolphins and whales and other creatures.  The crew members were always looking out for us and doing everything they could to make us comfortable. Everything felt very local - the farms and ceviche evening and brewery were all about our hosts.  But the boats and buses and hotels and restaurants felt the same.  The kids rented surf boards and had a great time talking surf with the owner.  We found warmth and kindness everywhere so hopefully we did no harm and showed appropriate respect and appreciation. Honestly we can’t imagine a better trip.  We would absolutely recommend the itinerary - and Andean Trails - to anyone. We chose Andean Trails because someone we know used the organization to tour the Galapagos and  had a great trip.  We wanted to do a land-based trip and couldn’t find another organizer who seemed to have the expertise and offered various land options.  This was a pretty unusual trip for us, our first time out of the U.S as a family.  We didn’t closely examine other Andean Trails offerings but would certainly recommend  the group to others. I have to close by thanking you for all your help.  We had lots of different questions and lots of different needs in throughout the planning.  You were very patient on all of it.  That made us very confident that the trip itself was going to be as wonderful as you were.  It was.  Thanks so, so much.  This was a bucket list adventure.  I am not sure how any future trip can compare.
