Dear Mayra,
Thank you so much for all the work that you've done for us. It was a
pleasant stay in Peru, all the things were very good and all of this thanks
to you. In the begginning I was a little bit unsecure with a company found
in the Internet , but after I saw your professional work to present the
itineray and all the details, I've became confident and go with you.
I am so happy to find that your travel agency knows to do its job in a very
pleasant way.
All the best to the entire team that work for us!
Thnak you so much

Dear Angella:
I have been meaning to write and tell you how much we enjoyed the trip tp
Peru last November. It was the best trip I have ever taken. Everything
worked perfectly, from meeting Hal and I at the airport in Lima, flying to
Cusco, the hotel in Cusco(especially their breakfast), the Inca Trail, and
getting us back to Lima for our trip back to the US.
All of your support people in Lima and Cusco were extremely helpful and
friendly.
Now about the Inca Trail. The trip was amazing and our guides, Saul and
John, were great. Saul's knowledge of the history and old ways of the Incas
was amazing. Camping out on the trail was a great experience. I don't think
Hal and I have slept in a tent since we were in the Army 35 years ago. Even
the camp food was excellent. The weather was great and the scenery was
spectacular, but the steps were tough, and the altitude did not make it any
easier.
I would certainly recommend the trip to everyone. However, if you are over
60 ( we are 64) you had better be in great shape. I thought it was harder
than running a marathon. We were worn out, but we enjoyed the challenge.
Thanks again to Perugateway Travel for a great trip.

Hi Melisa,
We're back from our exciting trip to Peru and wanted to share with you our
wonderful experience and offer a few suggestions.
We had wonderful meals everywhere we went. The food in Peru was
outstanding!! It was always fresh, well prepared, and presented. On our
first day, we had pizza in Miraflores that was just "out of this world!!" We
loved the hotel in Miraflores, Lima; very quaint and lots of history. Last,
our guides were well prepared. The highlight, however, was the Vistadome
train ride to and from Macchu Picchu with the smoked salmon lunch and
fashion show!! WOW!!
Cusco was also a wonderful experience. The Monasterio Hotel was a grand
experience because of the terry cloth bathrobes and shoes, the friendly
service, and, of course, the food.
These are our Suggestions:
1. Day # 1 should not have any activities scheduled as there isn't time for
rest from the morning flight. Discovered that our bodies did not acclimate
properly. As a result, we experienced sickness for two days.
2. Should not need to pack up belongings and have luggage stored for one
night as a requirement for making the overnight trip to Macchu Picchu
because guest will return to same hotel next day.
3. There should be A smaller Van available to bring tourist back to the
hotel in Cusco after finishing the group tours. There should be no need to
walk up to the hotel from the SQUARE in Cussco.
We hope these suggestions will be helpful for your future planning.
Thank you.

To Whom it May Concern:
My wife and I engaged Mayra Velasquez at Peru Gateway Travel to assist us in
planning our vacation to Peru.
This letter acknowledges that she worked within both our monetary and time
budgets to provide a vacation that was well paced, educational and
enjoyable. In short she made our dream come true.
All our in country accommodations from hotels, to transfers, to air and
train reservation and the English speaking guides she engaged for us made
our time in Peru a truly memorable experience.
Mayra was always available both by phone and email to give us experienced
and wise counsel in the planning stages of our adventure. Her suggestions
were well thought out and her knowledge of her country is invaluable in
planning a trip that took us from the rain forests
to Cusco, a city 11,000 feet above sea level. Through it all, Mayra was
always pleasant and professional. Mayra and her agency have the attitude
that the customer is always right. They will do everything within their
control to make your travels in Peru comfortable and timely. When we arrived
at each city, waiting for us at the airport or train station was an English
speaking guide. He was carrying a big sign with our name written on it. We
knew immediately that we were in good hands.
I have no hesitation in recommending you use Mayra and Peru Gateway Travel
to plan your Peru adventure. I have given them permision to use this letter
of recommendation and forwarded to them photographs of our wonderful journey
through Peru that we also allow them to share with prospective clients.

mayra,
what a great trip. all the transfers were perfectly timed and the tours were
wonderful. our accommodations in cusco was very comfortable and the staff very
helpful and friendly. the 4 day inca trip was spectacular and our guide juan was
just perfect. i was one of the oldest at 60 years old on the trail those days
and felt very safe and pampered. one of the guides stayed back to be sure i made
it to the next meeting place. the young trekkers almost always cheered when i
came into camp. the weather however did not cooperate and the rains made the
trails very slippery. we did not get that gorgeous view of machu picchu
that we hoped for but the tour of the ruins made up for it.
thank you.

Dear Melisa,
A belated note of thanks for the excellent service and organization of the Cuzco
trip. I was very happy with everything and would like to make special mention of
the extraordinary help and professionalism of Carlos Metsas, who made sure every
aspect of the trip went well. You are very lucky to have such world class
professionals on your staff.
Best wishes,
Siobhan
