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.
Best regards,

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.

Sincerely

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.

Please accept my sincere thanks for a very nice visit to Peru and convey my thanks to the others who contributed to my trip.
I had a setback after arriving at in Lima because I misplaced/lost my passport holder somewhere in Cusco airport, fortunately I had removed my passport for check-in, etc. Some travelers checks and a credit card was lost but I took care of but in Lima.

Hi Melisa,

Sorry for causing you such concern and for the late notice of the cancellation. I was still hopeful we could make it to Cusco.

Anyway I am pleased to say, due to the profesionalism and can do attitude of your organisation that we were able to complete the Inka trail.

We arrived at our hostel in Cuzco and within 10 minutes I had a phone call from someone in your organization and said they would be coming around to see us. When the lady got there she said if we could be ready in 20 minutes then we could still do the Inka trail.
We had some reservations at first because of not aclimatising but then thought why not.

It was one of the most challenging things I have done but also the best thing I have done.

One person made it all that more special, our guide for the 4 days, Carolina. I have been to few countries and been on a few tours where we have had tour guides. No one comes close to Carolina. When we first met her she came across as this very friendly person and straight away we felt comfortable.

On the trail she had very interesting stories to tell. Not only about the ruins on the trail but, also about the history of the Inca empire.
My travelling companion suffered from a little altitude sickness after the 2nd day and Carolina was always there to make sure he was feeling OK and even took action to make sure he felt better.

At dinner and away from the hike she was always attentive and took a keen interest in getting to know everyone better.
When my friends say they are going to do the Inca trail I will most definitely be reccomending them to your organistion anf if she is available to ask for Carolina.

I have one problem though. We were on a tour with 3 german people so it was a small group of 5.
Hernan and I made the mistake of joining in with them in tipping our guides. They had this system where they would give $2 per day per person. This came to all of us putting in $16 each. In my opinion this was not enough. We wanted to give Carolina and Juanna (forgive me if that is not how her name is spelt), some more privately without the germans knowing. I think it would have made them look bad if we had openly given them more in front of them. After we all said our goodbyes we searched frantically near the bust stop to find them, without luck.

Can you tell me now how I might be able to send her and Juanna some more money.

As I am typing this I am embarrased we only gave so little. Hope you can help.

Once again thank you for a wonderful and exciting adventure.

Regards,

Dean Maher

dear Mayra,
I've wanted to let you know how impressed we were with your country.
our stay in Peru was truly amazing one.
we've met wonderfully genuine people and we had great and unforgettable time.
climbing Machu Picchu was terrific!!!
there is only one thing I think we should mention though.
the matter of tips for porters turned out to be a vital issue.we couldn't fail to notice how hard these men work on the trekking.
while for us it was evident that they should get a big tip some people were not so clear.
your email was very specific and we thank you for delivering this information.we just wanted to let you know that we encountered this situation and it was very awkward and in the end we felt really bad that maybe the porters didn't get what they should.
anyway,thank you once again for everything,I'm sure it wasn't our last time in Peru.
sincerely,magdalena and agata

Angella
We had a fantastic trip to Peru. We can't thank you enough. Carlos Martinez did a wonderful job in coordinating our Cusco activities. The Hotel in Cusco was delightful, quaint and comfortable. We will definitely recommend it to anyone we know heading to Cusco. The tour guides were great, and the people who met us at the different airports and hotels were flawless. Once again Great Job!

The only minor complaint we had was over the El Santuario Hotel in Aguas Calientes. it left much to be desired and I would encourage you to maybe select a different hotel for your clients. (The hot water was very hit and miss, it was under renovations, and the lights from the hall lit the room through a window above the door.) We were only in the room for sleeping at night, so overall it had very little impact on our trip.

The extra day at Machu Piccu was fantastic, and may be something you want to promote with your clients. We wish we had more time in Cusco to see all the local archeological sites, so we will be planning a return trip in the future and will contact you when we do.

Thank you for setting up the best vacation we've had in 10 years.

Hello Yenseng,
I want to thank you for all your help in planning our trip to Peru. Our group of eight people all had the best time ever. It is not easy to plan for so many persons of different ages and interests, yet it was a great success.
Everyone in our group loved the Royal Inca II in Cusco. Some of our members needed some down time prior to the Inti Raymi. Thanks to your staff, they
were accommodated. I appreciate the efforts and professionalism of the tour guides and bus drivers. The tour guide at Machu picchu was very knowledgeable
and we highly recommend her.
Our trip to the Amazon was also a very positive experience. The Wasai Tambopata Eco Lodge was wonderful. The food was fresh and prepared typical
to the area. I was disappointed however, in that there were no birds at the clay lick. Some other people from the lodge went to a different clay lick
that had hundreds of macaws. I realize that nature is unpredictable. However, I did see a few macaws on the premises of the lodge.
I would like to make one suggestion. When we received your vouchers upon arrival at the airport in Lima, we did not have confirmation numbers for our
domestic flights. When traveling from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado, no one from our party was in the system. When we entered our passport numbers at the
kiosk, they were not recognized. We called Gateway Travel in Lima which in turn called the airport to confirm our reservations. We did make it on the
plane with plenty of time, so all turned out well.
Thank you for your courteous service. I will recommend you to my friends.

My sincere thanks to you and your Company for making such wonderful arrangements for the trip to Machu Picchu. We were met and looked after just as we had hoped.

I would certainly recommend your Company for any future trips. Your prices are a fraction of those being charged by the Cruise Line for exactly the same service. We flew on the same plane, ate in the same restaurants and road on the same buses and trains.

Ivan,

We just returned home and one of the first things I wanted to do was thank you for an exceptional trip. Your service was above and beyond what we expected. Every little aspect of the trip went as planned, everyone was truly wonderful to us and you covered ALL the details perfectly.
I want to especially point out how VERY, VERY pleased we were with our guide, Carolina. She is truly a gem and you should be very proud to have her, she was exceptionally knowledgeable, her English was flawless and she was very patient with the middle aged, slightly out of shape hikers that we are!!!! She is really a treasure and she deserves a big raise!! :) She is the best of the best.
Everything went wonderfully, we had a great time and again - I want to thank you and your company for such really great service. If you ever need someone to talk to potential clients or give you a recommendation - we would be happy to do so - you made our trip a memorable and happy one that we will always remember.
THANK YOU!!!!

We had a fantastic time and a very successful trip. We made it!!
Juan our guide was incredible, and the porters were sensational in what they were able to accomplish carrying Mr. Botero over 1/6 of the hike over the steepest and most difficult terrain. Thank you!!

Is it possible to work with your company to organize the Inca Trail Hike for others who cannot walk from around the World to come to do the Inca Trail Hike? Can we now offer many trips with those who cannot walk to come with their friends to do the Inca Trail Hike. Can you refer people to us, or do we refer them to you, so we together, can offer the Inca Trail Hike to those who cannot walk from around the world?

Hello Dalia,

This is Jimmy Barry, writing to you from the U.S.A. Greetings. My wife, Cathy & I want to thank YOU for arranging all of the details for our 9 day trip to Lima, Cusco & Machu Picchu. It was WONDERFUL, GREAT, THE BEST ! With the exception of the problem on the evening we arrived in Lima airport (June 19) when no one came to transfer us from the airport to our hotel, since I had no Peruvian coins, nor knowledge how use your public telephones, I had to tip & pay another transfer service to call the telephone numbers you had given to me to get someone to come to pick us up. Needless to say, after a 7 hour flight from the US, my wife & I were tired & not very happy that we were not picked up! Then after making the call;, two people ( Paula Arayo & another man ) arrived at the airport for the transfer.

Aside from this unfortunate incident, the rest of the trip, all of the transfers, the meals, the hotel accommodations etc. were very satisfactory. The trip was very exciting & enjoyable , one I will not soon forget. I may return with my son ( 40 years old) next year to show him the wonders of inti raymi & Machu Picchu. If I do, I will not hesitate to use Peru Gateway Travel and their very best agent, Miss Dalia Cruz Valverde, to again make the arrangements for me. I hope that you will show my letter to your superior.

To the superior of Miss Dalia Cruz Val Verde:

You employ a very competent agent in the person of Miss Dalia Cruz Val Verde. She is efficient, courteous, knowledgeable & strives to accommodate her clients in all respects. Keep her, give her a raise in salary - she is most valuable!

Thanks, again,

Dear Patrizia & Julia,

My family have arrived back home. I want to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip to Peru and to express my gratitude for helping to make it such a wonderful experience. I know you must have been very busy when the strike caused the road between Juliaca and Cusco to be closed and I appreciate the effort you made to get us safely to Cusco. I will send some photos soon. I would like to tell you how especially pleased we are with Carlos Pena (Carlos of the Jungle) who was our guide in the jungle and with Senora Carmin of the Residencia del Sol in Cusco. When my wallet was taken in Cusco, Senora Carmin was tremendously helpful and she always made us feel like family. Carlos has an amazing knowledge of the plants and animals of the rain forest (and of North America). He is a wonderful person who I will always consider a friend.

Yours truly,

Hi Jenny-

Please forward this to your supervisors. We had a wonderful trip to MachuPicchu. Our guide, Raquel, was awesome. She is very knowledgeable about Machu Picchu and is very enthusiastic about sharing what she knows with others. Please thank her again for us.
We have only a few minor improvements we would suggest. That more care be taken to spell names correctly on signs for pick-ups - that was a little confusing. Also, there was little confusion in Aguas Calientes when we arrived regarding which hotel we were staying at, so that our larger bag could not be transferred there for us.

Again, thank-you for a marvelous trip. We really enjoyed it. Sincerely,

Ivan,
I'm sorry I didn't get back to you. Just slipped my mind.
We had a great tour, once it got started. We were delayed about 2 hours by the Peruvian authorities but the tour was worth the wait. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. The lunch was terrific. The only negative was no shopping time but that was due entirely to the delay in the morning.

I can't think of anything we would have changed except for the weather. Very overcast as was most the the weather we encountered on the cruise. Of course, you had no control over that situation. The tour itself was wonderful and both buses seemed to enjoy everything.

Please don't hesitate to give my name as a reference if anyone asks.

Dear Jenny,

We returned on Sunday from Peru. Susan and I had a wonderful time and love your country and the people. Everything went very well and we especially loved the Inkaterra Hotel and Machupicchu. Thanks for all your help and of course we will recommend your company to others.

Best wishes, Maryann Bullion

Hello Julia,

Yes, we recieved your email. Thank you so much for all that you and your agency have done to make our trip an incredible one. We have had a wonderful time. We have been very impressed and pleased with all of our guides- they have always been on time and have given us very so much history --- and the people at our hotels have gone out of their way to take care of us. I am sure that all will go smoothly today with the train. Thank you for seeing what you could do so that we do not have an extra charge. We will be talking to Frank in Cusco as to an added tour tomorrow in Lima prior to our catching out flight home late tomorrow night.
Again, thank you for all ....... we have had a very memorable trip.

Dear Mayra,

we have returned from our South American trip and are safe and sound back in Amsterdam.
I want to let you know that we enjoyed our trip to Peru immensely. You and your organisation did a very good job. Everything went as smooth as could be expected. We loved Lima and Cusco and we were very impressed by Machu Picchu. I am glad we stayed in the Sanctuary Lodge, it was worth the steep price! Thank you and your staff for taking good care of us, we will certainly recommend you to our friends.

Kind regards,

Rob Engels.

Hello Yenseng,

I want to thank you for all your hard work setting up our travel plans for Peru and Ecuador.
We had a fantastic time, very educational and everything was perfect; no problems at all. All the guides were first rate, very helpful and knowlegeable and everyone was at the various destinations to meet and greet us. The trek was tough but we did it; it was very emotional when we reached the Sun Gate and could see Machu Picchu our destination.
Again, thank you for helping us to arrange a most wonderful holiday.

Sincerly

We wanted to thank you (all) for a wonderful trip. Everything went well and everyone was great. People everywhere were very friendly.
You were able to put together our requests into a seamless trip. We never had to worry about what we were supposed to be doing and we had plenty of time for exploring on our own. The hotels you selected were of good quality and in good locations. We liked that you covered all tickets and entrance fees and that you provided local phone numbers in all locations. We needed the phone number in Cusco when the person meeting us did not know of the changes to our plane reservations from the week before. (Our call found him waiting in the airport parking lot.) The Vistadome train and the Inka Express bus were both wonderful experiences. Machu Picchu has to be seen to be believed. Our overnight stay in Aquas Calientes was nice and it allowed us to visit the site early morning and late afternoon when fewer visitors are present. The tour and overnight stay on Lake Titicaca was a special highlight and our hosts were very gracious. We had the added bounus of being there for their New Year's celebration.
On our last day where we had the 12 hour layover in Lima we reserved a hotel room in Miraflores and spent the day resting, eating, and touring Lima. The only regret there was that we found out about the double decker bus tour too late to take it.
A couple of lessons we learned from this trip: The first was that when at high altitude always request a hotel room with a window. Good ventilation is especially important. The second was that when buying many things from street vendors, they don't carry much change (money) and ATM's just give out large bills. It is hard to keep a supply of small bills and change for those important negociations. Maybe trips to banks for change could help.

Thank you again for a wonderful trip.

Dear Iván,

We would like to thank you for organizing for us a very successful and enjoyable Peru tour. Everything worked very well; all agents were most helpful and always ready to help out. We also enjoyed very much staying at Casa Andina Private Collection throughout the trip as well as the Colca Lodge.
All guides were knowledgeable and very kind - we would however wish to single out our guide to the Cañon del Colca, Liliana, who was truly excellent.
If we may also make a couple of suggestions for improvement, we found the morning & lunch part of the excursion to the Valle Sagrado uninteresting and wished the visit to Cusco included more of its colonial heritage - this part of the city deserves more than the visit to the cathedral and the two adjoining churches!
Well, all in all, we brought home many unforgivable memories from Peru!

Warmest regards,

Górdana Jerger and Luisa Morgado.

Just to let you know we had a great time in Peru. The arrangements for our trip were perfect and everything went smoothly. Your company really made our trip hasslefree, we were met at the airport on time, the hotels were very good.I want to specially mention our experience doing the Inca trail, it was tough but awesome, the guide Mr Saul was very good and kept his team of visitors, porters and cook very well organized and taken care of. Wish the weather had cooperated as well, rained quite a bit but I guess that"s part of the experience.

Thanks again to your organization for a great job.

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.

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

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,

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.

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.

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

Jessica,

First, thanks for taking care of us upon our arrival. The switching in flight times was inconvenient, but you resolved quickly and for that we thank you.

Overall, it was the best vacation my wife and I have ever been on in our life. We have been to Thailand, Korea, Ireland, etc…and this topped them all bar none.

Sumaq (Aguas Calientes) – best hotel we stayed in….rooms, restaurant, bar, etc were all great, wish we could have stayed longer

Mancora Bungalows – very nice beach hotel, views were terrific, the staff was terrific, especially Javier

· Guide for the City tour was great (sorry, do not have a name), wish there was more time at Susquayam

· Sacred Valley Tour – could do without Pisac, market nothing special, saw the same in Cusco, the guide was just ok, nowhere near as good as the City tour guide, time could have better spent at other places

· Machu Picchu – tour guide was good, but was way too short. Maybe if people are spending the night, offer a full day tour option so that you can get more into the details. One Complaint – the buffet at the Machu Picchu lodge was terrible, we ate downtown the next day and the buffet at Todos was much better and much cheaper

· Arriving in Lima, the wait would have been too long to go to Cusco especially after flying from the US

· Also, having to fly from Cusco to Lima and having an 8 hour layover to go to Mancora was way too much…..would have been better to fly out later from Cusco

· Aerocondor – flight times stink, service was ok, and flight from Tumbes was cancelled which caused us to take a 3 hour taxi ride….I would never vacation again in Peru if I had to use this airline…sorry, but you should go with LAN for business.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for everything you did to make my dream come true.

I had the most beautiful experience in Peru, in Machu Picchu, and I even climbed to the top of Wayna Picchu on July 7th, 2007! It was the ultimate experience!

The tour guides were wonderful and everyone was so kind and courteous and caring, and I really did fall in love with the people of Peru!

My favourite place besides Machu Picchu was Aguas Calientes....I would love to live there!

On the train ride down the mountain on July 7th, there was a fashion show, and I bought myself an Alpalca Shawl...it is beautiful! I know I will use it this winter....sometimes it is -40* here in Northern Ontario in January, so the shawl will be a reminder of the warmth of the hearts of the people in Peru.....

I told the people at the Hotel where I stayed in Cusco, that even if it appears that the Spaniards took all the gold out of the City of Cusco, they didn"t take it all, because the people I met there in Cusco and Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu all have hearts of gold....the gold is in the hearts of the people....Peru"s greatest treasure is its people!

Now my heart is saddened and grieving when I hear of the people who have suffered this earthquake in Peru....and my love and prayers are with them.

Thank you so much, Ana Fiorella, for doing so much and working so hard to help me on my journey to Peru, and giving me so many beautiful memories.....

The sites you picked were fantastic, the guides were thorough and
knowledgeable, and the transportation was excellent.

We noted that every thing was on schedule, right on time, and we were
always given proper information.

This trip introduced us to Peru and we loved it! The Peruvians we met
were really welcoming, friendly and helpful. Because of GSateway Travel,
we felt like we got a great cross-section of the country.

So, thank you so much for your assistance. We liked having emergency
contact numbers in each place and also knowing that we could reach you.

Peru is beautiful in all its aspects. Thank you, thank you, thank you for
making it the trip of a lifetime.

ps Hope you didn"t suffer too much from the earthquake. We were very
sorry about Ica. We met a nice doctor in Cuzco that Maggie is going to
help with his medical care for the mountain village children. Great fun!

I hope this note finds you and your family well. I am so sorry to hear about the terrible earthquake you have experienced in your country. Please know that we have been praying for you and all who have suffered.

You have made our trip to Peru wonderful and memorable. I can't thank you enough for the smooth and easy experience. We marvelled at the drivers who were there to drive us to our next location.....they were easy to find and always where we needed them to be. And all of our reservations at hotels were perfect and very comfortable.

I would recommend your travel company to anyone. Christine and I both thank you so much for making our stay in Peru very enjoyable.

Linda and I returned to Chicago last night exhausted, but very pleased with
our vacation and with the services of Peru Gateway Travel. With the
exception of one problem (our not being picked up at the Lima airport
following our return from Cusco on Friday the 17th) everything went as well
as could be expected. Your staff was friendly and competant. We were
impressed with the various tours that we took and the tour guides. The Inca
Trail was beyond our expectations, we were probably too old and out of shape
to try it, but the excellent guide (Angel Meza) did a phenomenal job of
helping us to succeed. When we wanted to change plans in the middle (one
fewer night in Agua Calientes, and an extra night in Cusco) your local
representatives put it all together.

So, I am writing to say thank you. And, to give you permission to use my
name or to refer potential clients who have questions to give me a call. I
will be happy to tell them that they will be in good hands if they make
their plans through your agency.

We completed a trip organized by your group in early June. We cannot tell you how pleased we were with the accommodations, meals, quality of guides, transportation and itinerary. Everything went without a hitch. Your staff, with whom we came in contact, was extremely friendly and helpful. The size of the groups for our tours was perfect. The staff who did the pick ups was very punctual and courteous. When we decide to return to South America, we definitely will contact you for assistance.

As a matter of fact, we are hoping to get together again within a couple years for another journey to Peru -- to even more different areas -- as we have now found that Peru offers so much! Also Paola, her husband and son were terrific and we were always so happy to see their smiling faces greeting us after every air trip.
