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.
Many thanks again

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!!!!

Julia,
Thank you.
Sorry for the delay in replying; We had a great time in Cusco and are now back
in Buenos Aires.
The staff at Orquidea Real were extremely helpful and pleasant to work with.
The accommodation was just what we had hoped for and we enjoyed it.
The whole services and arrangements for the tour were excellent, and we were
amazed by the way every part of the visit was coordinated.
Congratulations to all for a wonderful experience for us.
Also we met up with some other people who had used Peru Gateway, and they were
also praising the services you have provided.
We must return sometime!
Thank you

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,

Dear Julia,
We are now well home again after a fantastic week in Bolivia and Peru. Thank you
very much for your excellent arrangement and support. We were taken care of from
arrival in La Paz until departure from Cusco one week later. Everything was
arranged to our best satisfaction.
Thank you very much.

Dear Ivan:
Our guide was very knowledgeable. He is enthusiastic about his country and the
sites he showed us, very courteous. Really take care of us.
I (Mrs Drill) have arthritis and he found a bench to me to sit at chan chan
while he took the group to the cemetery. He told me it was too difficult to me
and my husband said he was right.
We want to thank your company, Ever and Julio for a memorable day.
P.D: Having the water, the juice plus the snack of crackers was very appreciated.
The van was very, very comfortable. Thank you again.
The 8 of us want to know that Ever gave an outstanding tour to the temple of the
moon. His knowledge, enthusiastic and explanation wer SUPERB!!!

Dear Julia:
Rachel and I are back on our cruise ship. We had a fine flight from Lima to
Guayaquil on LAN Airlines and we thank you for changing our reservation to LAN
rather than TACA.
We were very pleased with your entire service and thank you for making all the
changes needed when Machu Picchu was closed due to the flooding.

Hello Mayra.
We’re back from one of the most exciting vacations ever. Thanks to you (and your
crew) our week in Peru was magnificent. Everything worked perfectly.
Only one thing might have been a little better, and that was the breakfast at
the hotel in Cusco. It was very limited in the variety, but it did not spoil
anything for us.
Please let the guides and the drivers know that we were very pleased with them
and their effort.
Thanks very much
Best regards
Johnny - on behalf of us all.

Dear Maria,
This is with regards to confirmation #32469.
I was given a customer satisfaction form to fill out but I was not sure to whom
to give it so I thought I would e-mail after I got home. With regards the pick
up service, staff, accommodation, and tours, everything was excellent. The
guides were very good , the timing was great. My only complaint of Peru was that
there was too much really good food !!!!!!
I would definitely recommend your company to friends who were going to Peru. I
was very,very impressed.

Dear Mayra:
Thank you again for all your hard work in arranging our tour of Lima on
Wednesday, January 27.
We had a wonderful time. Bartolome Alvino, our tour guide, was absolutely
fantastic. He showed us so many things and told us so much about the city, the
history, the current conditions of living. Both he and our driver were courteous,
very prompt and helpful.
We will highly recommend Peru Gateway Travel – and will add you to our website:
worldatlas.com on the Peru page. We have hundreds of thousands of visitors every
day to our site. Next time we plan a visit to Peru, I will contact you for
assistance in our plans.
Thank you again.

Dear Ely
A quick note to thank you, Kristy and everyone who was involved in making our
trip to your country so memorable. We had a wonderful time and all the
arrangements were perfect. There was only one slight hitch in Cusco when we were
unsure of the time of pick-up but apart from that everything went according to
plan. The staff was unbelievably helpful and prompt and our hotels were
excellent.
Particularly helpful and knowledgeable were Dante in the Sacred Valley and Renan
in Sun Island. These two were excellent guides.
We will send you more comments later.
Once again our thanks

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.
I just wanted to follow up and give you my impressions of my trip.
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.
As for the vacation:
Liberatador (Cusco) – great hotel, would recommend more guests there
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
Cusco
·
Fernando was terrific, great guide and was very attentive to us
·
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
·
Mancora – great beach town, wish we could have stayed more time
·
Lima – city tour was good, guide was very knowledgeable and knew Lima well
Other recommendations
·
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
·
LAN airlines was superior in our travels
·
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.
But in closing, thank you for a great vacation.
Thanks.

Dearest Ana Fiorella,
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.....
Love,
Martha Charmaine Gagnon

Dear Jessica,
Thank you for a wonderful, wonderful trip!
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.
Sincerely,
Alexis Crow and group
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!

Dear Angella,
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.
Bless you,

Dear Christy,
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.

Hola Amigos!
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. We have already recommended your
service to several of our friends, and will continue to do so.
Thank you, again, for making our excursion into Peru such a delightful
experience.

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
