Peru was the trip of a lifetime, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the effort and energy you put into each and every day. My expectations for the tour were sky-high, and they were exceeded by at least 100%. I’m planning to do it again, and am working on getting some other people to come with me.

I have done five trips with Cynthia so far, and loved every one… Everything has been meticulously organized and to a high standard. This includes both food and accommodation. The unique, boutique hotels which comprise much of the accommodation are wonderful, and the local guides have been of the highest quality.
