Combination Tour - Lima / Cusco / Inca Trail / Day Tours
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful time my daughter and I had in your beautiful country, Peru, last week. Your company is a class A operation and all the arrangements you made for us were perfectly executed. From the moment that we landed at the airport in Lima at 11 pm on Saturday night and we saw a friendly man holding our name to the moment we were returned to the Lima airport 12 days later, every minute was well organized with friendly and knowledgeable guides and drivers. The hotels, day trips and especially the hike on the Inca Trail were well planned and made our trip unforgettable.
I want to especially recognize and thank Ralfi our Inca Trail guide. Ralfi was extremely knowledgeable, considerate and patient with us. He took the time to explain Inca history and ruins, and stopped to introduce us to any new flower or plant that we came upon along the trail. The porters were friendly and Charles’s food was as good as any restaurant while taking into account our dietary requests.
Thank you again and please don’t hesitate to use me as a reference to any potential client. Good luck and Happy New Year!

Lares Valley Trek
Hello! My name is Nicholas LeRoy, I was a client of yours who went on the Lares Valley hike back in September. I wanted to write you for two reasons.
First, I wanted to tell you that I was extremely satisfied with the
services that your company provided. I was blown away by the hospitality, timeliness, organization, cooking, and overall friendliness of everyone involved. Both Jason and I were extremely pleased that we chose the LaresValley hike over the Classic Inca trail. We ran into many others who were dissapointed with the traffic on the Classic Inca trail and wished that they had tried something different. Thanks again for the great job, and keep up the excellent work. We will definately recommend you to anyone whom is looking to hike near Cusco.
Second, I am wondering if it would be possible for you to send me Jorge's email address? We took a few pictures and some video on the trip and we would like to email them to him. Jorge was our guide on the Lares Valley hike. I would definately recommend him to anyone who is taking the hike as he is knowledgeable and friendly.
Thanks again for the excellent job!
Regards,
Nick LeRoy
Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Just wanted to say thanks for the great trip in Peru. We had a great time with our guide Maribel. The 1-day Inca Trail was better than we thought. What impressed me most, was how flexible you guys were with putting together our itinerary. We didn't have a lot of time to work with, but you guys put together a perfect itinerary to hike the Inca trail, see Machu Picchu, and see a little of the sacred valley. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if the price we paid was expensive or cheap, but it was definitely worth every penny. Thanks

I recently went on the Lares Trek with a group of 13, as part of a World Challenge Expedition, and wanted to extend my thanks to all involved, in particular the guides Guillermo and Betsy. The trek was a truly life changing experience, and defiently the best part of my trip. I found it incredibly well organised, with the briefing the day before highly useful (thanks to Lucio.) The travel to and from locations was comfortable, for which we were very grateful following some of the other coach journeys taken over the month! I was also impressed with the high standerds in camp, as well as the excellent food we were provided with 5 times a day, It is so much easier to wake up at 5 am if there is a cup of tea waiting for you. The guides themselves were professional and friendly at all times, providing encouragement and support to all who needed it, and they ensured the group arrived safely each afternoon. Overall,i felt the trek was arranged to the highest standards i could have hoped, and my feelings of apprehension quickely changed to excitement. I had a fantastic time, and hope to trek with Andina again.

Dear Leslie
I am writing to thank you for a wonderful trip that was arranged with your kind assistance.
On 29.5 we, 7 israeli travellers, arrived at Puerto Maldonado for a 6 day trip. Each day was a wonderful and exciting experience for us, the organisation and also the type of trip and the beautiful sights and sounds of the jungle which is so different from that of the Amazon River.
I am writing to thank our wonderful guide Rosia, which apart from her excellent professional knowledge and experience and explanations, the most important characteristic is her kindness and caring from this young girl, who is the age of our grandchildren she took care of us and was like a mother to us…..we wish that all your guides are like her, I do not want to use the expressions that we told her personally, as I do not want the other guides to get jealous….. I am sure that all your other guides are of the same high level !!

Dear Leslie,
Just wanted to send a quick note thanking you for all your help with the trip. We were really impressed with the organisation. Edwin was a great guide and all the porters were fantastic. Edwin went out of his way to make sure our time at Macchu Picchu was wonderful.
Anyway, thanks again.

Leslie,
I wanted to send a note thanking your organization for the great time we had in Cuzco/machu Picchu. Everything went very smoothly with Lois and Carlos and our guide Marybel. Several times Carlos went out of his way in providing excellent service. He provided necessary information and made sure everything was going to our satisfaction.

Thanks again,

Management - Andina travel,
I would like to Congratulate and Thank our guides Guillermo, Paulo and the team for a fantastic 4 days trekking through the Pumahuanca Lares Valley.
Their professionalism and euthusiasm inspired the group to continue on - despite personal difficulties that some individuals faced. They took the time to attend to the needs of individuals in a manner that displayed the highest degree of professionalism - whilst still managing the needs of the group as a whole.
I really appreciated learning about the area that we visited - Guillermo has a wealth of knowledge that he was happy to share. Thank you!
Our cooks / porters provided scrumptious meals - and loads of it - and were more than willing to allow us to learn more about them - Thank you!
Completing the trek for me was a personal achievement - it was an absolute pleasure to have shared this experience with your guides and crew.
Thank you once again,

Many thanks again and I’ll certainly be recommending your services to other people!

Dearest Luis, Smith, Ingrid, Kike, Balthazar and Ismael.
I'm writing on behalf of RMHC and all of us who participated in the Classic Inca Trail last month to say a huge thank you for making our trip utterly unforgettable!
From the first day everything was perfectly organised and executed. As guides you were all Incredible patient and motivating (I know I would not have made it up those mountains without you keeping me going) and as people you were great fun and wonderfull company throughout the tour.
Your knowledge of the area and it's history made the trip so much more meaningful and I believe we all came away having fallen a little bit in love with Peru and it's people.
Also, please pass on our sincere thanks to all the amazing porters and chefs who made the trip even more special. We really appreciate all their hard work and the smiles they showed us each day.
Once again, thank you for allowing us to experience the trip of a lifetime. Hopefully our paths will cross again in the future.
Kindest Regards.

Hi Ricardo
Thank you for checking on us! Evan and I had a wonderful experience on the trek. I would be happy to recommend Andina to friends. We decided to get off the train at Poroy and save an hour, because we were tired. We took a taxi to the hotel from Poroy. I hope that you got the duffel bags from Casa de Campo. We took an early bus to Puno, where I write to you.
Thanks again for everything! We enjoyed Jorge as a guide, and Isaac´s cooking very much.

Hi Ricardo,
I wanted to send you a "thank you" for the great trip. I appreciated receiving your detailed itenerary before we arrived in Cusco. Our guide Hilda Jimenez was wonderful. The briefing that she had for us in our hotel on the evening before the hike was very detailed and well organized. The hike itself was a perfect pace and Hilda had lots of great stories and explanations to share with us. And of course the actual tour of Macchu Picchu was incredible in all respects. I really appreciate the great job that you and your company did for us and will certainly recommend you to anyone that I know who is considering a trip to visit Peru. Thanks for all of your hard work.
