Absolutely awe-inspiring!!! Firstly, I must commend the company for ensuring smooth, timely movements during the trip..We were met at the airport at the luggage carousel, by the incomparable Andres- such a genuine warmth, and an absolute font of information.
We were unfortunately hampered by the effects of altitude, and were forced to cut short the Cusco tour, though again, we were met at the hotel as previously agreed, and joined a small group to begin the tour of the church. This is the one thing I'd perhaps change...allowing guests a full day to become acclimatized should they be susceptible to altitude sickness, rather than scheduling activities several hours after arrival. Fully recovered on day two, we were again on schedule, in the capable hands of Mr. Timothee, comfortably, taken to the train station for the journey to Machu Picchu.. I must make special mention of Messrs. Andres and Timothee, who allowed us opportunity to stop along the way to revisit highlights of the Cusco tour -Sacred Valley-which we'd missed the day prior. Seamless transition along the journey, was apparent throughout...comfortable, scenic train transfer, again, being met immediately upon arrival by our excellent guide Javier.
I guess there several things I would say to convey our satisfaction with the tour...The destination is spectacular..beautiful vistas, opportunities for immersion in a culture whose history dates back more than 5 thousand years. The staff involved in presenting the destination to the traveler are special.. warm, informative, with genuine passion for their home and interest in sharing this with visitors. The attention to detail, in ensuring the itinerary was followed, certainly added to our peace of mind, placing ourselves fully in the staff's capable hands.
Tremendous..thanks Andres, Javier, Mr. Timothy
