I can’t recommend Escaped to Peru highly enough. Gary and his staff made what could have been a very stressful trip (family visiting from the UK and travelling with 3 children under 4) an experience that we will all remember for a long time. The hotels were perfect in location and ambience. The tailor-made trip around the Sacred Valley was ideal for us, and they were able to accommodate all our needs, even a private tour guide at Machu Picchu which was breath taking. I wish to thank everyone at Escaped to Peru for giving us memories that my family and I will treasure.

Escaped to Peru organised a great trip for us, with all hotels and transfers. Lima - Paracas - Huacachina - Nazca - Arequipa - Cusco - Machu Picchu - Puerto Maldonado, and ending up in Puno. The hotels were of good standard and the tour guides along the way were excellent. Gary was always accessible and ready to give advice. We would highly recommend him.

I was very impressed with the excellent and personal service that I received from Escaped to Peru. When my airline temporarily lost my luggage, I was even loaned a lot of personal gear for a trek that I then was able to do. A big thumbs up!

Wow! You are fantastic. I think you have filled wonderfully my time.....If you are not the boss, you should be.

Thanks,

In the event that I return to Peru (just a matter of time, I think), I will make a point of contacting you again. I very much appreciated both your recommendations and your ability to "put it all together" - hotels, tours, airport pickup, advice, etc. With so much to do and see, it was an excellent stroke of luck to find you and to work through you to fit our plans together so smoothly.

One final thanks for your role in making our visit one to remember so positively.

Best regards, Lynn and Michelle Phillips, USA

We are so glad to have met both you and your lovely wife for drinks at Pepe Zeta. We want to thank you once again for the great job you did in putting together our package in Cusco. Everything went off like clockwork, and the folks we met could not have been more friendly and helpful. How you are able to co-ordinate so many things is astounding. We were happy to refer our friend, Ralph, to you. Certainly, if any of our friends show a desire to visit Peru, we will of course refer them to you. That would only be fair to both you and them. We shall let you know the next time we come to Peru, so that you can set up the various aspects of our return.

Fondly, Carole and Ron Michail

P.S. We took your recommendation in Lima and ate at Las Tejas. You were right again, the meal was fabulous.

Our family of two adults and four children really appreciated the way Gary was able to find suitable hotels and tours for our family including where to experience Guinea Pig! We also really enjoyed the Inca Trail and particularly our guide Sylvia. Thanks again Gary. We will certainly be recommending your services to our friends when they come to Peru.

Hi Gary

I wanted to thank you for your help in arranging our recent trip to Cuzco and Machu Picchu. The Casona Real was fine for our stay, and the location was ideal.

The bus train tour to Machu Picchu worked very well. THe tour was well organized and efficient and comforatable. We were last in MP 27 years ago, it was amazing to see how the tourist facilities have improved. The Mercedes buses from Aguas Calientes to MP were a far cry from the open air buses from 1980.

Sincerely,

Escapedtoperu.com has helped me on a couple of occasions and I have always found their service to be exceptional. In fact we have just concluded a trip which they organised for us at very short notice and it was a great success.

Maybe it's because he is an ex-pat himself but Gary seemed to know just what we were looking for. He picked hotels for us that were a little bit different from the usual backpacker places, hotels with a good ambience, friendly owners and a good range of tours available. The tour company that he used for a trip to the Colca Canyon was particularly good, with extremely helpful and friendly staff.

We shall definitely be using his expertise and local knowledge again and I cannot recommend him too highly.

Dear Gary,

Just a quick note to say thanks for the great service you provided for my two sons when they visited Cusco.

They (and I) were impressed with the personal nature of your service and I was particularly happy that they knew they could call you 24/7 in case of any problems.

They were both delighted with the accommodation, the tours and guides and the professional and safe way in which the rafting was handled. As the one paying I thought the package you made specifically for them was good value and I will recommend friends who come to Peru to use your services.

Many thanks and I hope to see you in Lima or in Cusco!!

Best wishes for a great 2007!
