Sandra,
 
I found the Athala boat very good,  the right boat for us. I wish it was easier to get to and from galapagos as we found it harder than getting to the other side of the world. But you were good to deal with and your information was solid, I suspect at some point we will try to do patagonia.
 
cheers

Hello Laura
I had an amazing time, and I do want to thank you for an amazing work with organizing the entire trip. Chile Patagonia is an amazing place, and I had been planning this for a long while, but your company made is so much easier and valuable.

I have recommended your company`s name to many of my friends who were also interested after seeing amazing pictures, that I brought back.

I do want to THANK YOU for an amazing work in planning my trip, and I also found a lot of value in booking through you.

Next year I intend to go to Peru (Inca trail), and I will be sure to contact you again.

Regards,
:)

Laura,

The trip to Easter Island was outstanding. The Hotel Gomero was beautiful and the tours by Rapa Nui Travel were all excellent. It was everything I had hoped for.

Hi Laura,

Scenery is absolutely spectacular.  Accommodations are sometimes just OK, food isn`t always great, but I came for the natural beauty, and in that respect, it doesn`t dissapoint.  Everywhere you look it`s another beautiful mountain, forest, river, stream, lake, farm.  Words and pictures can`t describe how beautiful it is.  Therefore, in this respect, the destination met my expectations.

Hertz: Great.  I got a Toyota 4Runner, and it performed very well.  No complaints.

El Puesto/Puerto Rio Tranquilo: Very good hotel, excellent dining.  Enjoyed the stay.  The Lago General Carrera area and the marble caves are incredible.  I would have traded Futaleufu for more time in this area and perhaps a trip to Caleta Tortel. 

The star was the trip to Laguna San Rafael.  It was really good, and met my expectation in every way.  Scenery was great, ship was really good, professional crew, decent food, and lavish liquor.  A musician turns the return into a great party. All in all, a great time and really beautiful.

Puyuhuapi Lodge and Spa: Very beautiful, worthwhile.  It`s a beautiful place in the middle of nowhere. They try to upsell you with excursions and spa treatments, so it can get expensive if you do all of those things. 

Coyhaique area: Some of the most beautiful scenery is around Coyhaique, especially the trip from Coyhaique to Puerto Chacabuco.

Mauricio,

All went very well with the Tropic Air flight to San Pedro! We might repeat the journey in 2012 and I will certainly use your services again,

Thank you,
Marty Dodge

Hi Sandra, I want you to know that our customers were incredibly excited! Both were very enthusiastic about all they have received. In addition they were also very happy with the guides they had during the trip. They told me they will send a separate letter with all their feedback, and I will pass it to you at the moment I got it.

See you soon. Regards,

Dearest Laura,

I would first of all like to wish you a Happy New Year.

Then even more importantly, on behalf of Alessio and myself, I would like to THANK YOU very much for your service and all your assistance in booking our trip to Easter Island and Chile. Very professional and extremely detailed.

It was an unforgettable trip!!! A lot of it due to the fact that it was all so well organized and everything was pre-booked. We really didn`t have to worry about anything. Wonderful!

Valentina was a great guide and help in Santiago and we really felt she was there for us. She was very willing to assist and had many good tips about Chile and our visit there. The drivers were also very kind and helpful and the car comfortable.

On our wine tour we aslo had a very good experience. Only the map wasn`t as detailed as one whould have wishes. The stay at Las Majadas de Colchagua was in particular nice and unforgettable. The whole area has so much to offer and is so very interesting. Santa Cruz for example, a great place.

We would at no time hesitate to recomend Latin Discover for any bookings to Chile. Very Professional! We will be back when we are planning our next trip to Latin America.

Thank you once again Laura.

Wishing you all the best for the future.
Kind regards,
Annika

Hi Laura,

We had a wonderful two weeks in Chile, thoroughly enjoying the different landscapes, and situations. We also found the Chilean people very friendly and hospitable, always eager to assist confused Canadian tourists if they could.
 
Our tours in Chile were also most interesting, and well organized. We were also impressed with the quality of the accommodation, incuding our hotel in Bariloche. 
 
We aslo fully enjoyed the Santiago/Valpariso- Viña der Mar region.

Thanks again for your assistance,
Best wishes, Don

Hi Mauricio,

I returned from Peru earlier today (Dec 25th). The trip you arranged for me went very smoothly. At each connection I was met by someone to handle the next step, and there were no delays and no problems. The guide I had at Machu PIcchu was VERY good, the best of the different guides for the different days. The scheduling of time to have almost a full day at Machu Picchu, followed by another half day, was perfect, offering ample time for the guided part of the visit and time to explore on my own, as well as the opportunity to experience the site under a variety of weather ranging from light rain to full sun, with fog and clouds in between. I would have been very disappointed to have spent only a few hours there, as many tours apparently do.

The hotels were fine, and the one in Yucay was a delight with its gardens and its quiet setting--a very pleasant break from the traffic and activity in Lima and Cusco. And its restaurant was very good, the best of the three hotels. I enjoyed both the city tour of Cusco on the first day, and the chance to wander around on my own on the morning of the last day.

My friends in LIma reviewed my itinerary before I set out, and said that the logistics to take the train back only to Ollantaytambo and then drive from there to Cusco were a sign of a very good tour planner, because of how long it takes to get back all the way to Cusco by train.

The only change I would make would be to the day visiting Pisac and Ollantaytambo. The Pisac stop was really just for shopping, and it did not interest me. And we really did not have enough time to explore the ruins at Ollantaytambo. The guide spoke at length and the time on our own felt rushed. My friends had hoped that I would get to view the site at Moray and the salt making site, and I saw the sign for the former on the way back from Ollantaytambo to Cusco (a different road than the one through Pisac. So, if I were to change anything, it would be to visit those two sites on the way to Ollantaytambo instead of visiting Pisac, and then have more time at Ollantaytambo. But this reflects my preferences, and I know some people prefer shopping.

Anyway, it was a great trip, and I will recommend both Peru and Latin Discover to people interested in a visit. I have not checked your website in detail. What other countries in Latin America do you offer tours in?

I hope you and your family had a merry Christmas. Best wishes to you for the new year.
