In the begginning I was a little bit unsecure with a company found in the Internet , but after I saw your professional work to present the itineray and all the details, I've became confident and go with you.I am so happy to find that your travel agency knows to do its job in a very pleasant way.All the best to the entire team that work for us!Thnak you so much

Hi Angella,I just wanted to write and say THANK YOU for an amazing trip. Everything was great!!! All of our tour guides were informative and professional. We especially loved Carlos! I know we forgot to hand in our surveys but if you have an electronic copy, we would be happy to fill one out.Again, thank you for all your help!

Dear Melisa,First, I want to pleasantly inform you and your company that our group was most pleased with the exceptional tour guides, the good food at restaurants you selected, and the very fine hotel accommodations provided from May 8 to 13 through your services. The tour was excellent, and the guides, Alvaro and Juan, were motivating, inspiring, experienced, interesting, helpful, and very conscious of our needs.

Angella,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?Thank you,

Thank you for making our Peru trip an experience toremember. Your timing was impeccable and the staff excellent.Thank you Jessica and Johney for Machu picchu.

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!!!!

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. Many thanks again

we are already in aguas calientes and we are having the fun of our lives!!! thank you sooo much for helping us making our dreams into reality.. you´re the best!!! our tour guide, his name is vladimir is amazing and everything so far is great.. tomorrow is our hike to machu pichu.. were waking up early in the morning around 4 am to hike around 430 am.... looking forward to it. i would definitely recommend you´re agency to any of my friends who wants to go to machu picchu.... looking forward talking to you when i get back to california! God bless!!!!

Jenny, good morningI would like to thank you for all of your help in preparing this WONDERFUL tour. Everything went well not counting the altitude sickness Juliet had. I would like to post a critique but can not find where to do so, can you help me?Thank you again

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.

Hi Kimberly Luna,I would like to thank you and your team for the really great service my friends and I received during our Nazca trip. One of our late bookings had a few hitches but I am sure she will contact the agency directly to let them know. The other 6 of us had a really wonderful time – thank youKind Regards

Dear Melisa Leon and All My wife and I came back home from the very pleasant and comfortable journey in Peru.We appreciate the people in peru-gateway-travel who sincerely guided us during our visit in Peru.Specially, reprensentatives in cusco(young man) and in puno(young woman) were very kind in receiption and other works.Again, we enjoyed very much this traveling in Peru.Best regards,

Mayra,Thanks again for putting together a great trip for me! You did a great job. I just wanted to let you know that I was talking with a couple yesterday that wanted to do the hike to Machu Picchu. I gave them your email address and told them to ask for you.I have some pictures of the guide from my trip, Ro. I promised to email them to him, but lost his address. Do you have it?Thanks again

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.

Hello Rita,I want to thank you for all of the support in preparing for our trip to Peru as well as being available for additional arrangements. Our trip was a great success as a result! Leo and I were able to explore many amazing sights from Machu Pichu to Nasca. Next trip will have to include regions north of Lima.Peru Gateway travel is definitely on my 'recommend to friends' list.

DEAR JENNYThank you and the peruvian people for a pleasant stay in Cusco and Machu Picchu.Everything went very smooth and there where high class on both the guides andtransportation. Not to mention the hig class hotel Novotel Cusco.Me and my brother highly recommend your travel agency.

DEAR Melisa Leonthan kyou so much for the great vacation, i will recommend you to friends the trip was perfect, i wish that i could of got pictures from the rafting co I don't know the name if you do that would be great, thankyou so much for everything.

Dear Melisa, A belated note of thanks for the excellent service and organization of the Cuzco trip. I was very happy with everything and would like to make special mention of the extraordinary help and professionalism of Carlos Metsas, who made sure every aspect of the trip went well. You are very lucky to have such world class professionals on your staff.Best wishes,Siobhan

Hello Rita, I just got back from my trek last night and had a great time. This whole trip has been amazing.. ..Thanks for all your help. I will recommend your tour company to my friends.

It is incredible that I have not personally met anyone from Gateway Travel. All our dealings have been via email and maybe a couple of skype calls. However I feel that Rita and Mayra are part of my family. They looked after me as though I was someone very special and unique to them. Traveling on my own through Peru was a fabulous journey and knowing that I had these connections made thisngs so much easier. All my transfers were easy. I felt like I was being handed from one pair of warm hands to another pair of warm hands. I did not have to think about anything other than being ready at the right time.There were situations on the tour that called for flexibility and they were handled with grace and ease. I felt totally comfortable and trusting that things would happen with this company. When I woke up one morning and decided not to go on one of the tours it was Gateway Travel that made things less expensive for me. When I wanted to change things mid stream they assisted me all the way. They replied to all my small insignificant inquiries with grace and with accurate information.I have realised I am not so good with organised tours. My level of independence must strike all parts of my life. However if I wanted to do another tour anywhere in Peru or other places I would use this company.

Hello Rita! Sorry for the late reply. The 2 days we spent in Lima before our departure back to Cananda went by so fast I hardly even had a chance to check my e-mails. Justin has a family member who is a missionary priest and lives in Lima so we spent our last 2 days with him and had a great time. We were definitely impressed and appreciated the excellent service that you provided us through Peru Gateway travel. Your follow-up phone calls and availability at various times of the day were much appreciated and we will have a lot of good things to say about your company! We will keep excellent memories of our trip to Peru! All the great tours we did and the nice people we met were unforgettable!Sincere thanks

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.

Hola Rodolfo,I had a wonderful trip in Peru, and Peru Gateway Travel did an excellent job for me. I was very happy with the itinerary and with the services provided while I was in Peru, especially the transfers from one place to another. I will be happy to refer Peru Gateway Travel to my friends and other people.Muchos gracias.

Dear Angella,We have been back to Bangkok already. I just want to send you this mail to thank you for your excellent program arrangement and coordination. Apart from minor incoordination about the dinner, all other part of our trip are pleasant, enjoyable and exciting!We have been warned many times about traveling to Peru. However, everything was higher than our expectation. Peoples were friendly. The trip was safe and well coordinated. The accommodations were above standard of 3 stars hotels. Polices were everywhere around tourist places and they were helpful. The food were good especially the ceviches. Moreover, places we visited were very impressive especially Machu Pichu, Arequipa, Puno and Cusco.We have not climbed the Huayna Pichu as expected because my friend had been there in April and he told me not to do so (He is above 70 years old). However, we had been at Machu Pichu during sunrise and spent 7 hours there, including walking to the Inca's bridge and the sun gate and were really impressed.Thank you again for your help. We had showed the pictures and video tapes to our friends and will recommend Peru and your travel agency to ones who are interesting.

Hi AngieWe had a great time in Cusco/MachuPichu. All the arrangements and connections worked very well. The Gateway to Peru agents were all extremely good and professional. The only criticism we have is the hotel in Agua Calientes was poor. No Hot water at all for the time we were there so no hot showers were possible. I would suggest that another hotel be used in the future. That kind of thing in hotels is beyond your control I know.We have been very pleased with everything you have arranged for us.

Dear Angella,I wish to thank you for the travel plans.The only problems were the hotel in Macchu Picu with the rooster waking us up at 1am, 3am, and 5am, and not knowing which airlines was flying us out to the Galapagos. It was kind of scary when we asked for out tickets, and being told that there was no record of us traveling, until my son found out that we were at the wrong airline (we were told by the guide to go to counter 3, and it was counter 8 that was our airline).The islands you sent us to were a wonderful experience! The guide was informative, and the lunches were very good. The Hotel Silverstein was very nice, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food was good.The food in Peru, especially the buffet at the restaurant in the Sacred Valley was wonderful. The best restaurant which my family raved about was the one in the Sacred Valley. Please send all your visitors to that one!They will love you for it! My children and I could not stop talking about it.My daughter and I went to explore the old town part of Lima on out last day, and had a wonderful experience seeing the military band perform in front of the church, and seeing the fair.I appreciated the fact that your contacts were following us when the plane had electrical problems, and knew about our delays. It was good knowing that you knew what was happening to us.I appreciated all the guides you gave us. I did become sick with altitude sickness in Cusco. The tea did not help. I drank several cups of it. One of the tourist recommended the white/red capsules which worked well, but took time. I would recommend that future tourist see their doctor before coming to Cusco for a script of Diamox, if they can have it to reduce the likelihood of this happening to them. My daughter had a slight case, but my son was not affected by it. I should have asked the hotel for oxygen.We did take a side excursion to Isabella with another agency on Sunday, and that was not a wise choice, for the sea was too choppy, and the boat had problems. So we learned our lesson-to stock to your plans, Angella! I will recommend you to anyone who asks for the best agency to go to if visiting South America.In the future, I might want to return to Peru to see the rain forest, I will email you for your help.Take care, and best wishes!I hope that my daughter, Anna, did not give you a hard time!PS I wish that I had the opportunity to stay longer.

Dear YenSeng,We had a great time in Peru. Thanks for putting the package together for us.

Dear Mayra and JorgeWe had a magnificent tour of Ecuador Galapagos Machu Picchu and Santiago in May thanks to your wonderful tour arrangements and bookings.It was great to be met at each airport with a personal sign of our own, amongst a sea of faces. All of your agents were reliable and friendly, and contact phone numbers were answered when we had airline delays and changes.The tours to the above destinations were memorable and the tour people of each country we visited in South America made our stay very pleasant.All hotels were excellent, especially in Quito, and the Galapagos Legend cruise ship was a first class experience.Thank you once again

Hi Yenseng,Thank you so much for arranging such an amazing trip for me and my mom. It was my first time in south america, and i am already in love with the city and the people. We had a wonderful time exploring the city ourselves in conjunction to all the trips you had arranged for us. I told all my friends how great everything was and they already asked me for your contact!Does your agency have sister agencies in other countries? Again, thank you for all your help Yenseng.

Jorge,Thank you soooo much for a wonderful trip. The accommodations and the guides were fantastic! We had a great trip.Thanks again!

Hola Angie!First I wanted to say I had a great time in Peru- it is beautiful- thank you for all of the assistance!!! Secondly, I would like to plan another trip, but with the 4 day hike into Machu Picchu for the same time next year. I am thinking that there will be three people this time, please advise.
