"Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the South America trip that you put together for us. It is a fascinating destination and we came away feeling much more knowledgeable about the area and with a great admiration for it's peoples and keen to go back again sometime. The itinerary worked very well for us and the local guides that were used were so fantastic - very well organised and knowledgeable - they added so much enjoyment to the trip. After being there we particularly enjoyed the gradual acclimatization to altitude that the itinerary allowed. Made Machu Picchu so much more enjoyable. The only bad bit we had was getting into the airport at Rio and that was due to the weather which was well outside anyone's control. So I think that counts as a very successful trip.The Santa Cruz on Galapagos was a very good suggestion. It was very comfortable and the crew were great - they worked very hard to make the cruise enjoyable for us. The naturalists were excellent. We enjoyed Ecuador - that was a nice addition to the trip. We also appreciated your warning about LAN and how they might try to ignore our international baggage entitlements. They certainly did try to charge us excess baggage but with your timely advice we stood our ground and "argued" with them for a while and then they agreed that we were entitled to the 2 x 23kg and all was good. It was much appreciated to be ready in advance for that.And of course Ted & Judy - it was fantastic to have them join us for the latter half. They were great company and also helped oil the wheels of the trip. Once again thank you for your efforts in putting the trip together for us - you did a great job! The Premium Economy (Business) class seats were certainly worth the money too - that was also a valuable piece of advice that helped to make the trip so enjoyable.

Yes, a fabulous trip! I have been straight back to work (unfortunately) but had on my list to get in touch with you to let you know that the arrangements went superbly. No problem at all with flights, transfers, hotels or tours – everything went very smoothly and on time,...
