I don’t think I can thank you enough for the amazing time we had in South America – everything was absolutely perfect.
The hotels were exactly what we were after – favourites were in Cusco.
The Inca Trail was definitely our favourite part, it ended up being a private tour! Worked out so well that we met Harry our guide the day before on our day trip in the Sacred Valley (one of the best lunches we had by the way).
This meant we could have all our questions answered, and he organised a duffel bag, walking sticks etc for us.
Harry was really amazing, the only guide we have ever had who asked what we were most interested in seeing. No bombarding with too much information!
He went at a relaxed pace, and was so knowledgeable about the trek. The porters looked after us so well, we have left feedback on Trip Advisor however if you can pass this on it would be appreciated.
Thank you also, for recommending the ‘alternative route’. Without this suggestion our experience would not have been the same – we didn’t see anyone along the trail until the very last day!
Unfortunately Harry was not aware of the opportunity to donate items to the local community in the Sacred Valley – we had taken over some items as mentioned in our information pack. This was fine in the end as we gave some things to the porters & the others came in handy for us.
All our transfers & tour guides were great, with spot on recommendations of restaurants and things to see.
We will definitely be recommending Contours to friends & family – two girls at my work would like to go to SA for similar trips this year & have your phone number.
