Peru trip, Susan Mullen (from USA) - July 26, 2010

Hello Mauricio!
We’re just getting caught up on our sleep after a fabulous 12 days in Peru! We had such an incredible trip, from start to finish. Lima Tours did an excellent job on their end, with very few snafus along the way. I’d be happy to give you any specific feedback regarding any leg of the trip; just let me know. The guides were for the most part really well trained, and the hotels super. We felt very spoiled in the high end ones, and rejoiced in the comfortable beds and beautiful atmosphere.
The culinary tour was a great way to end the trip; our guide Marta was incredible and we had a wonderful time with her. We then popped down to the Church of San Fransisco to visit the catacombs. Because we still had the whole day ahead of us and our daughter was feeling sick that day and needed to rest, we did end up having to pay another night at the Hotel El Carmel so she could have somewhere to sleep. But we had a great day and are home safe and sound!
Thank you for all that you did to make our trip wonderful. The itinerary was so well thought out, and we often thanked you for your planning. We did almost sink on the boat ride back from Taquile Island due to high winds, and ended up on the southern peninsula of the lake where we waited an hour in the middle of nowhere for a local bus to take us back to Puno. We got into town about 8 pm. On the 1 ½ hour ride back to Puno I had a great talk with a local family and their children, however, and we chalked it up to adventure. Only one German family had a complete nervous breakdown. C’est la vie.
We will definitely contact you for our future travel needs, as well as recommend you to our friends. You were attentive to our needs and very responsive to our emails. You are great at your job!
All the best,
Susan

Hi Laura,
I can`t begin to tell you how absolutely perfect the trip was. The guides were terrific. We spent most of the time with William who was a joy. I can`t tell you how much we enjoyed our time with him. We also had Carlos for Cuenca and Marta for Otavalo. They were all very knowledgeable and fun to be with. The hotels were charming and in beautiful areas. There were no problems with anything. My only regret is we did not plan enough time touring mainland Ecuador. It is a beautiful country with absolutely charming people.
Now to the Nemo II and the Galapagos. Wow, what a trip and what a place the Galapagos is. The crew we had on the Nemo II became like extended family members and our Guide Mariana Vera was a joy. As my daughter-in-law said - this was the trip of a lifetime!
If you ever need me for a reference for people considering using LatinDiscover and you as a travel agent, please feel free to give them my email address. I can`t say enough good things about the job you did helping plan this trip.
Regards,
Dori S.

I just returned to South Africa a week ago. We found Peru a delightful country to travel in with of course the highlight being Machu Picchu.
Your arrangements went very well and we have no complaints. Thanks again for the part you played to make our trip worthwhile. I shall definitely recommend you to friends.

Dear Mauricio,
We have finished our tour and arrived to Istanbul a week ago. We want to thank you and your representative Viaventure for the excellent organization of our trips, everything went very smoothly, guides were waiting for us at every spot, they were very correct and kind to us and everything happened on scheduled time.
The choice of places was excellent, as the Lake Atitlan, Solola, Chicicastenango, Barton Creek, Yaxha, Rio Dulce.. offered us unique experience. The hotel arrangements were very good ( D''''''''Leyenda at Antigua, Table Rock jungle Lodge at Belize, Catamaran at Rio Dulce, Marina at Copan).
If I may add the excellent driver & guides: Carlos and Anastasia at Antigua-Atitlan-GuatemalaCity, José at Belize, Carlos at Yaxha and Flores. We were impressed by the prompt and friendly service that we have received every step of the way.
We were very satisfied and we will recommend Latin Discover and also you personally to our friends.
We hope to book your service in future for South America trips.
Thank you again,
Best regards,
Samim & Meral

Dear Laura,
We have finished our tour and arrived to Buenos Aires this evening, so I just want to thank you for the excellent organization of our trips, everything went very smoothly, guides were waiting for us at every spot (they were very correct and kind to us and everything happened on scheduled time), then, we did not experienced any problems with checking for flights. Also it was very convenient that every evening we have received a hard copy of the time table of activities for the next day. The choice of places was excellent, as the Iguazu waterfalls so the Perito Moreno are really beautiful and offered us unique experience. Hotels are very good (Saint George and Rochester as well). We were very satisfied and we will recommend LatinDiscover and also you personally to our friends. If I may add the excellent guides: Luis at Iguazu and Maria Julieta at Perito Moreno, they are really devoted to their jobs and most important is that they always adjusted activities to our needs.
Thank you again, Tibor

Mauricio,
Only the greatest things to say about you and your company! Everything worked out absolutely perfectly, even with the delay from the Ecuador volcano. Your representatives were there to assist every step of the way, and everything was arranged perfectly.
One of the best vacations we have ever taken, and Lisa and I will certainly recommend to family/friends (or for us if we go to other Latin American Destinations). Thanks for everything, and please let me know if you''''d like to ever direct a perspective client to me as a reference.
Best,
Lawrence

Hi Mauricio,
Finally, we returned home safely after stop over for a few days in Japan.
We enjoyed our tour in Peru very much, however the altitude sickness caused us some discomfort, to which our bodies were not used to.
We will contact you again if we decide to visit other south America destination in the near future. Thank you.

Costa Rica trip, Joyce Feinberg (from USA) - June 2, 2010

Hi Mauricio,
I thought you did an excellent job.
We loved Lapa Rios really a lovely place excellent staff, great food, good guides all around super experience.
Britannia this hotel is okay, the staff is not very helpful or well trained, It was okay, good location, but I wouldn''''t choose it again. Breakfast very mediocre.
Si como no okay, but really middle of the road. Rooms are comfortable, not lovely, food is expensive and not outstanding, but location is good.
Bosque de Chachagua: we really enjoyed it we spent some time with the owner which was interesting. It needs a remodeling, which they are going to do this year closing for 3 months. it has a great charm. They are considering AC and TVs as some people won''''t come without them.
We went zip lining in La Fortuna with Ecoglide, they were great. The drivers were all fine The driver from Arenal to San Jose was not a good driver but all were nice and the rest were good and knowledgeable.
We had a great time and thank you for all your help especially when we ran into the problem with immigration papers and missed the plane.That drive turned out to be nice 6 hours exactly from airport to P. Jimenez where the hotel driver was waiting for us Thanks!!
We did our part for the economy of Costa Rica...loved the Gallery Namu in San Jose and also liked La Casona for shopping.
Many thanks,
Joyce
