All,

And I want to use the word “All”... as All of you at Peru Gateway Travel deserves a BIG THANK YOU!

Our tour was absolutely wonderful...what an experience!

All arrangements fell in place like a hot knife into butter.

Booking, travel, accommodation, food, guides, even the groups we shared this fantastic experience with, were out of this world.

All of you deserve a pat on the back and were / are true ambassadors for your lovely country.

Peru is a gold mine of cultural history and a friendlier nation I don’t think one will find easily in the world.

Once again – thank you – it was an experience which we will for ever remember.

Keep well and kind regards,

God bless all of you.

Bennie and Deidre van Wyk

Hi paola,

    it was great talking with you again, i wish it were because i was going on another trip to peru.  i"m sure i will go soon enough.  so here"s mine and xavier"s evaluation for fredi flores and the trip.

    the trip overall was spectacular.  xavier and i felt that as soon as we landed from the plane we were taken care of - ericson was there to pick us up and take us to the hotel, the hotel was nice (although the sound travels easily between the rooms) and so were the staff there, and so we really had a great time.  the only thing about the beginning trips(city tour and sacred

valley) was that they should communicate clearly with us.  when they take us from the hotel and drop us off at the church in plaza de las armas, they should let us know who we need to wait for and let us know that they would not drop us off at the hotel. but other than that, we enjoyed every minute of it.  mr. george was really on point with all his facts about the city and the sacred valley inca sites. 

    about the hike - fredi was an excellent tour guide.  he was very knowledgeable with the terrain, and he knew how to tend to the needs of the people in the group.  he was organized and took care of everything.  all we needed to say is that,  "we want to hike wayna picchu," and he"d make it happen.  the camping equipment and the food was good.  salkantay and machu picchu were incredible and fredi, florencio the cook, and walter the cowboy really made the experience special. 

     so thanks paola for organizing everything it was a trip of a life time.

regards,

    mitzi

Hi Yenseng,

 

We would like to let you know that we had a fantastic experience in Peru.  We were very pleased with the tour you put together.  We are very impressed and appreciated the services and hospitality extended, especially by Erickson Arenas, everyone at the Garcilaso Hotel, the tour guides including Orlando(rafting tour), Sylvia(Sacred Valley tour) and Victor(Moray & Maras tour).  Also, the Hanapacha Hotel in Agua Caliente is wonderful.  We had the room with the Urabamba River right outside the window! 

 

We would definitely recommend your tour to our friends & family.  We hope to return to Peru soon.

 

Thanks again.

HI, Omar--

 

I just wanted to take a few minutes to express my great satisfaction with

our experience in Peru on our tour last week.  Overall, we had a wonderful

time--nearly everything was just great.  Your representatives were always on

time, helpful, friendly and great to deal with.  All of our tour guides

spoke very good English and all of the tours were excellent.  Our

accommodations in Cusco and Aguas Caliente were wonderful as were the

lunches we enjoyed in Lima, the Sacred Valley and at the Machu Picchu

Sanctuary Lodge.  The flights to and from Cusco on LAN were outstanding and

we really enjoyed the train trip on PeruRail from Ollantaytambo to Aguas

Caliente and back. 

 

Best Wishes,

 

Alan

Just to let you know, I just returned from Peru and the Cordillera Blanca and had a wonderful time. The representatives were all there to meet me and your compnay is very professional. Tania was a wonderful guide--she really did a good job. The Cordillera Blanca was beautiful and I had a wonderful time. I will recommend your company to other people interested in touring this beautiful area of Peru. Thank you again.

Dalia,

I just want to say thank you so much for the way you and your coworkers handled the whole trip to Cuzco and Erickson was wonderful the hostal was great (nice view) . He made sure we  were at the right place at the correct time and on the last day he made sure we were on our way before he left us. The whole experience of the trip was wonderful. I would do it again and recommend you all to my friends :)

Please keep up the good work

To Marcus, Jenny & team,

Well we"re back in Australia now and as I reflect on the photos taken during

 

our trip I thought I should send you a short note to thank you for the manner in which our plans were initiated and executed.

It is somewhat scary to send a two and a half thousand-dollar deposit to a company of which you know nothing. But I must say that the professional manner in which you communicated helped aleeve the fear and when you advised that you had a toll free Australian phone number, that further helped confirm, "you"d done this before".

 

From the time we arrived in Lima on May 22nd until the time we departed from La Paz on June 6th almost everything was perfect, with the guides all providing everything we required. We would recommend Peru Gateway Travel to anyone, and have already advised my Australian travel agent, and my copy of this email will remind him.

 

I have absolutely no problems should you wish to use this to help give others confidence.

 

Thank you and best wishes for future business.

Regards,

Nigel

Dear Mr. Yen Seng:

 

Our trip was wonderful.  Everyday was an adventure.  Everything ran smoothly -- our flights were on-time; we were met promptly at each airport; the day trips were marvelous, with well-informed and fun guides.  I became ill, probably from bad cheese on an airline, and the hotel got me a doctor promptly, I was given medication, and the guide in Quito was fantastic in delaying our flight one day so I could recover, and changing around our itinerary in a seamless manner.   This was certainly the trip of a lifetime, and we owe it all to you and Peru Gateway Travel.  Thank you so much for all your efforts in making this a fabulous trip.

 

Sincerely,

 

Jesslyn Cobb and Gary Kent

 Hola Mr. Yong  I have just returned from my trip to Peru, and  I had booked the 7 day  Peru Adventure tour with your company. Just wanted to let you know the wonderful experience  that I had. Everything was really great, all the guides were very knowledeable, friendly, and warm. The hotel in Cusco called Orquidea Real Hostel was  wonderful , from it"s warm cozy room with unbelievable views of Cusco  to the young staff that was so friendly and kind to this single traveler that spoke limited spanish.  Also just wanted to mention the rafting trip that was just so much fun and the guide Orlando and his father Juan. Orlando was very  knowelegable of the river and Inca history, and had a great sense of humor. The whole trip from beginning to end was a experience that will be with me forever. Thank you again. I am now home in the USA but my heart is in Peru and it"s wonderful  people.

Sincerely Alberto Siniscalco

Dear Ely

A quick note to thank you, Kirsty and everyone who was involved in making our trip to your country so memorable. We had a wonderful time and all the arrangements were perfect. There was only one slight hitch in Cusco when we were unsure of the time of pick-up but apart from that everything went according to plan.The staff were unbelievably helpful and prompt and our hotels were excellent.

Particularly helpful and knowledgeable were Dante in the Sacred Vally and Renan in Sun Island. These two were excellent guides.

We will send you more comments later.

Once again our thanks

Phil

My family and I would like to thank you and all of your colleagues who
helped to make our trip to Peru so enjoyable.  We appreciate very much the
care you took in making our arrangements and in making sure everything went
smoothly.  Your people were very helpful and pleasant (and understanding
when we were not always ready on time!)
It was nice to be able to relax, knowing that your people would get us where
we needed to be and that they would 'hand us off' to others, as needed.  We
appreciated the support, especially since we had our parents with us.
If we encounter anyone else who is thinking of making a similar trip, we
will certainly recommend that they consider making arrangements with your
company.
We would also like you to know that we found the staffs at the Garcilaso and
Presidente hotels to be very helpful, and that we liked the accommodations.
We also thought Sylvia and Miguel (the tour guides) were very knowledgeable
and pleasant.
I forgot to say thank you for the boxes, picture frames, and bottle carriers
-- it was a very nice gesture, which we all appreciated.
Thanks again,

Orquidea Tours,
I would like to express my gratitude to your company for what turned out to
be one of the most amazing trips of my life.  My group visited Peru through
your travel agency Feb 11-24.  We had a great time, and our trip only got
better as the days went on.  I would like to make note of things that I
found to be exceptional:

 
The Nazca Tour with Brady
The La Gruta Hostal
The Cusco City Tour and Sacred Valley Tour with Freddy The Inca Trail and
Machu Picchu Tour with Diego

 
Everything we experienced was outstanding, but I wanted to make special note
of these events.  One of the best things we encountered was having Ms.
Milagros Vergarary (Milly) along with us for a while.  She was very nice,
knowledgeable, and very helpful to us all.  She is a true asset to your
company.  You really outdid yourselves with our tour, and I will be sure to
recommend you and your services to anyone.
Thank You For Everything!

it's been quite a bit since we came back from our journey in Peru, which we
(4 people) visited "far and wide" with the Peru Highlights 11 days tour,
offered by your agency and which we found through your web site.

 
As you may know, we've also filled in all the official feedback forms
provided by the different tour guides we met at each place and the overall
feedback form sent via email by one of your colleagues.

 
However, on top of these, we feel we want to spend a few additional words in
order to thank you (and your agency) so much for the excellent service
you've provided us with throughout the tour!

 
The reservation process (completed via web and phone) has been great, in
spite of our pretty short lead time, which led us to change the arrival's
dates at the very last minute (4 days before the actual arrival in Lima).

 
Once in Peru, in each and every city we arrived (either via plane or bus) we
found one of your representatives standing there, waiting for us and ready
to drive us to our hotels. Punctuality has definitely been one of your key
strenght!

 
The hotels you booked for us were absolutely wonderful: nice and clean - of
course - but also really peculiar in their unique Peruvian/Inca style, which
we appreciated a lot! Special mention goes to the Sonesta Posada in
Arequipa, to the Colca Lodge and to the Picoaga in Cusco. We really enjoyed
our stay there and the special atmosphere that we could breath!

 
All the tour guides were really polite, dedicated, and very well prepared on
what to tell us. On top of this, they really embodied the typical Peruvian
attitude (which we liked so much!), always smiling and ready to help you or
welcome you as a foreigner, which made our days even better... :)

 
Among all of them, we would like to dedicate a special recognition to
Joanna, the guide we met in Arequipa and that stayed with us for 3 and a
half days (Arequipa city tour + Colca canyon). She's been simply exceptional
in each and every aspect: extremely competent and dedicated, but also very
efficient and reliable in every situation. For example, when we encountered
an issue at the Arequipa airport (leaving for Puno) and were left off the
plane, together with other 15 tourists, because of a deplorable behaviour
from one of the Peruvian internal  airline companies, among all the guides
there she was undoubtedly the one that stood up and promptly reacted to the
emergency, talking to the airline personnel, calling other contacts
elsewhere, and ultimately succeeding in getting an alternate solution for
all of us (not only the 4 of us!) to reach Puno.

 
All in all, our journey in Peru has been really perfect and we've enjoyed it
tremendously! We've brought back with us very nice memories of your country
and of the Peruvian people!

 
Once again we would like to express our thanks to you and to your agency for
the terrific service you've been able to provide.

 
Best regards from Italy,

 
Marco & Damiana Iannazzi

Good morning, ladies, I just wanted you both to know what a wonderful time
we had on our trip.  Every accomodation was perfect, and our guides couldn't
have been more agreeable or knowledgeable.  We want to come to Peru next
year, is it too early to start working on it?
Thanks again for all your assistance.  We look forward to our next visit to
South America.

To all the employees at Gateway.
Thank you all for an unforgettable excursion to your beautiful country. We
are grateful for the perfect organization with which all arrangements were
done. Everyone was punctual, the hotels were excellent, all tours could not
have been better. The highlight of course was Machu Picchu, but the tour
through the Sacred Valley was almost  as interesting. Our guides also
deserve special praise for their expertise.
Thank you again for a wonderful time.
Best Regards, Harry Schmider and Gisela Knox

Orquidea Tours,
I would like to express my gratitude to your company for what turned out to be one of the most amazing trips of my life. My group visited Peru through your travel agency Feb 11-24. We had a great time, and our trip only got better as the days went on. I would like to make note of things that I found to be exceptional:
The Nazca Tour with Brady
The La Gruta Hostal
The Cusco City Tour and Sacred Valley Tour with Freddy The Inca Trail and Machu Picchu Tour with Diego.
Everything we experienced was outstanding, but I wanted to make special note of these events. One of the best things we encountered was having Ms. Milagros Vergaray (Milly) along with us for a while. She was very nice, knowledgeable, and very helpful to us all. She is a true asset to your company. You really outdid yourselves with our tour, and I will be sure to recommend you and your services to anyone.
Thank You For Everything!

We have just come back from our very packed, exciting and wonderful trip in South America. You did a marvellous organization job, the coordination was magnificent, everyone involved was at the right place at precisely the right moment, and we saw just about as much as anyone could in such a short time. Thank you for being so efficient and watchful of every detail. Needless to say, we enjoyed every minute of the trip in spite of some very minor health problems.
One comment : the Cumberland Hotel in La Paz is thumbs down. While walking around the city with the guide, we noticed the Gloria Hotel, also ***, which appeared superficially at least, much nicer. Thank you Milly and Gisella for your excellent work. Hasta la vista.

I hope that we can visit Peru again; and when we do, we will certainly look forward to using your services again. We will certainly recommend your travel services to our friends who may be traveling to Peru.
Also, I hope that your leg is healing well. Get well soon!

Some time has passed since I was there, September 30, but I want to comment on the good service your company provided.

I had requested transfers between my hotel in Lima and the airport. The service was exceptional. In Cusco, your service was superb, as well. I was met at at the airport and taken to the Orquidea Real. The staff at the hotel was great, even sending out for food for me one night when I was too tired to go myself.

The young woman, Raquel, who was our guide at Machu Picchu, was great. She was very knowledgeable and so pleasant.

My only disappointment is that I did not have enough time in Cusco, but maybe another time.

I have recommended your company to a friend, Pamela Cromer, who will be in Peru in April. I hope she will take my advice and book with you and I hope I will have the opportunity to use your services again in the future.

The Reservation Service was prompt, safe and reliable.
Orquidea Hostal accommodations were both rustic and charming. The room was clean and safe. The view of the city and closeness to the Plaza de Armas was excellent. The Hostal has a security staff that ensured a safe stay. They carried our luggage for us and arranged for taxis. The included breakfast was excellent in quality and quantity and the view of the city from the dining room was very nice.
The staff was courteous and helpful. We highly recommend Orquidea's reservation service and accommodations to anyone seeking a safe, reliable and economical stay in Cusco.

Best Regards,

We can really only say that we were extremely pleased with all aspects
of our tour. Your company and its employees were very courteous,
professional and efficient. Every detail of our trip went smoothly.
Representatives of Orquidea met us at the airports and hotels when they were
supposed to. They always provided us with accurate information as to pick-up
times and other details of the tour. Orquidea rearranged our return flight
from Juliaca to Lima on July 13 at the last minute due to problems with
AEROCONTINENTE and the national strike the next day. This showed that your
company genuinely cared about the welfare of its clients. Even while in
Peru, we were already bragging to other tourists about how happy we were to
be with Orquidea Tours.
We will highly recommend Orquidea Tours to our friends and associates
and will gladly use your company should we decide to visit Peru again.
Thank You all for a wonderful experience in your beautiful and
interesting country.

Hi, We just returned to the USA today. We just wanted to let you know that the trip was incredible. I do a lot of traveling around the world and the trip you put together for us in Peru was one of the best. One of the more remarkable aspects was the coordination of your tour operators.
We were all over the country, dealing with multiple persons. Every single time, the contact person arrived exactly on time, explaining what to expect along the way. I am still amazed at the proficiency and professionalism of all those involved.
Thanks,

Dear Orquidea Services:

Our recent trip to Peru was wonderful. We were very satisfied with all of our accommodations. The friendliness and efficiency of the staff both at the Orquidea Real Hostel and Paracas Hotel were outstanding. All the hotels were exceptionally clean and service was great, and the breakfasts were very good.
While we were in Puno, we found out late in the evening that our flight (I booked the flight not Orquida) from Julica to Lima had been canceled. The local representatives working with Maricarmen Salinas, were able to obtain another flight for us the same day as our original flight and in fact a couple of hours earlier than the original flight. We would have been stranded if it would not have been for the overtime efforts of your staff.
Our guides also helped make the trip a great experience. Sylvia in Cusco was very good as was Pascual in Machu Picchu. Especially helpful was Brady in Paracus.
I knew where we wanted to go on the trip and Orquida made it happen. I would first recommend Peru to my friends and second I would recommend Orquida tours to them so that they could experience the same high qualify service we enjoyed.

We have been back from Peru for a week and are sorting our pictures and sharing the memories of our splendid trip. We want to thank you for arranging an itinerary that was just right for us. It was reasonably priced, yet we saw all the major sights, and we had the special Machu Picchu experience we wanted. Your staff was friendly, dependable and helpful. The Don Carlos was comfortable, and the service was excellent. We ended up eating most of our meals there in the dining room. (I recommended to them that they install a recirculating fountain in their atrium to make it more attractive.) They were wonderful about storing our bags, helping us send emails, exchanging money and recommending places to eat and shop. Our reception in Cusco could not have been easier or more pleasant, as Maria Elena was first in line as we came out of the airport, and we were taken quickly to a comfortable lounge in the Don Carlos, where we could relax and receive instructions on registering and joining the various tours. We loved getting the hot cup of mate de coca delivered immediately to our rooms.
The tour to Pisac, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero was very enjoyable.
The lunche on at the Alhambra Restaurant was totally unexpected for the beauty of the setting and the elegance and good taste of the buffet, complete with the best music we heard on the trip. Tom lost his big Trujillo straw hat to the wind, but it caught on a rock in the Patacancha (I think) River at Ollantaytambo, and a young boy scrambled down and retrieved it, to cheers of the onlookers (and a $10 tip from a grateful Tom, who loves this new hat; it is perfect for sunny, hot Texas). It was nice that Theo stopped the bus to look at stars up in the mountains. Unfortunately, we didn't know much about the southern constellations beyond Alpha Centauri and the Southern Cross. We enjoyed the city tour but would have liked less time in the cathedral and more time at Ouoricancha, Sacsayhuaman, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay. All three of our guides, Theo, Janette, and Ruben, tried hard to make sure all people joined the group, and that made us a bit late sometimes, but it wasn't bad. We wish their English had been better, as it was sometimes hard to understand them, especially when they turned away from us to another part of the group. Ruben even saved a woman from falling on her face on the rocks when she fainted in the Machu Picchu ruins. The trip to Machu Picchu went off without a hitch. We had excellent seats in the first coach of the train and so were able to get some great pictures along this extraordinarily beautiful route. We followed the instructions given to us about baggage and bus, and soon we were in our very nice room at the Sanctuary Lodge. As you know, this hotel is superb, and we are so glad that you were able to get rooms for us there on short notice, because the quiet evening and morning there at Machu Picchu were unforgettable. Our train trip back and the transfer to the airport went smoothly, and Judy even made some earrings for me from two pendants at the VERY last minute! (We had gone to see the carved pulpit in Iglesia San Blas, and we met Judy on Calle Loreto walking back to the Don Carlos. She converted the pendants and brought them to the hotel in less than 10 minutes.) So, thank you very much for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
We would actually like to come back to Peru, and we will certainly call upon Orchidea Tours again if we do.
Sincerely yours,

Alaire and Tom Lowry

We had a wonderful trip to Peru (Peru Highlights with one night in Aguas Calientes). The people were friendly, the scenery was outstanding, the guides were enthusiastic and very well-informed, the hotels were comfortable, and the tours were well-organized and educational.
We were very impressed with the logistics of the entire trip. Making arrangements for the tour via email was very easy due to the experienced office staff at Orquidea Tours. (I was especially pleased with how easy it was to reschedule the trip when it became necessary for us to postpone the trip due to an illness in the family). And once we arrived in Peru, contact persons were always there to meet us for our transfers and all of the staff at each location was always ready to help us.
Thank you and Gateway Travel for helping us to arrange this wonderful vacation. We only wish we could have spent more than 12 days in Peru.
There is so much to see.

Orquidea Tours' staff has been very very professional and most helpful! I will totally recommend it to all of my friends to take the tours you organise!! Your promptness of service was remarkable!
Particularly, Maria Del Carmen, both via reservations and who helped us in Cusco at the Orquidea Hotel deserves commendation for her efforts and attention to our needs. 2ndly, Dhally and Giselle of your tours' reservations & finance depts were also most on the ball!
Kudos to Orquidea Tours for an exceedingly well run operation! May I take the opportunity to wish you every success in your business and its further development! Thank you again! It made our holiday to Peru my best holiday experience EVEN despite the physical difficulties I encountered because of the altitude sickness I endured! And I have traveled to more than 40 countries in all 6 continents of the world.

I would like to thank you and all your colleagues for making my holiday so enjoyable. Peru is a great country but it was made even better by your assistance.
Everything was well planned, there were no problems and everybody who I dealt with were very good.
It was a great holiday and a shame to come back to the UK!
Thank you very much, I hope to visit again in the future.
