WONDERFUL PERU

Hello Carolyn ...We have just returned from our adventure in the Galapagos and Peru and wanted to let you know what a great time we had.

In Ecuador we were well looked after everywhere. The hotel "La Rabida" was a really nice place to stay and close to all the sites in Quito so we were able to walk to the Old town area. Our Galapagos week.....was also very fine..., the food great , and the guide and staff on board were attentive, and professional. Being sailors ourselves, we wanted to have a sailboat experience ..and it worked out great .As well the itinerary is good for a 1 week visit ...we were able to see alot in that time.

Our Peru adventure was wonderful ! All of the hotels we stayed at were really fine and well located , the guides and drivers were excellent, the food and restaurants included were also great......it was a fine tour particularly because of all the people who went out of their way to make sure we had a good time.

Our Rainforest experience was also fun and really hot... the accommodation at the Posada Amazonas was neat , the walks and boat rides interesting and our guide "Silverio" excellent . I would recommend it to anyone looking for that type of experience.

All in all ... a wonderful time..lots of physical activity ..we walked ,climbed and walked more ...and the weather was actually great while we were there as well.

We just want to THANK everyone who was involved in making our 4 weeks such a fine adventure!

FLAWLESS PERUVIAN ITINERARY

David, we returned from Peru about 48 hours ago. This note is to express our sincere thanks for putting together a wonderful itinerary for our group. Every aspect of the trip was flawless. The tour guides and transportation were waiting (with big smiles) at every stop. The Peruvian people could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. In short, the trip exceeded all of our expectations.

Once again, thank you.

Best regards,

Keith.

PHENOMENAL PERU

Hi Ron,

AFRICA BEYOND EXPECTATION

Adele, I would like to thank you for making our trip to Rwanda, Uganda and Madagascar happen in such short notice. We had a great trip. The accommodations, site seeing and food where beyond expectation as we have usually toured in African countries by truck camping.

I would also like to make sure that you pass along that the guide in Uganda is the best guide that I have ever had. We have travelled the world and we have never had a person so knowledgeable and compassionate about their job as Karen Mikkelsen. She represents your company well and I strongly recommend you use her when ever you have a trip to Uganda.

Thanks again for all the hard work that you did to make sure we got in and out of Africa before the rains. It only rained on the day that we trekked to see the gorillas. Oh well, they are the gorillas in the mist, so we saw them when it was misty.

SPIRIT OF EUROPE - UNBELIEVABLE!

Hey Melissa

I just got back from my Spirit of Europe trip a few days ago and it was UNBELIEVABLE. It was absolutely the best thing I've ever done. Everyone on my trip was so awesome and just really cool people. We did so much in so little time, it was ridiculous. I even went skydiving in Switzerland!! (best experience of my life) And Auschwitz was such a moving experience. I don't think I'm ever going back again, but it's definitely worth going to once in your life. So basically, I just wanted to say thank you so much for hooking me up with this trip. I'm so glad I did it!

Thank you!!

PS. So, I'm thinking South America next summer?

A WONDERFUL TRIP

We have just returned from a trip that we booked through your agency - Peru Unveiled with a Nazca extension at the beginning. We wanted to send you a line.

ANTARCTICA - THE COOLEST!

I am saying it is the 'best trip of my life'!
Excellent weather - and for that reason we spent the first 3 days steaming ahead to cross the circle - we passed it by 100 miles - further than many of the crew had gone before!
Penguins, seals, whales, we saw it all up close and personal!
Sandy and Becky went kayaking - in ice no less....
Sandy and I did the Polar Plunge (yes, very cold) and Camping!
The Expedition Leader said multiple times 'we don't know who to thank for the great weather...."

I had no idea that we would be.......cruising amongst icebergs and glaciers...

It was - overall - the best!!! Two weeks of nothing but incredible scenery, Seriously...it doesn't happen often for me - but it left me speechless to describe it. How do you imagine weeks of no phones, no cars, no roads, just a few buildings...

Thanks for all your work on this! We felt very pampered being picked up and dropped off everywhere!

OUT OF THIS WORLD COSTA RICA

Happy New Year to you and thanks for the good work regarding our trip to Costa Rica. I meant to tell you when we came back but I was so busy with the Xmas preparations that I forgot. Our trip was out of this world and the trip was simply excellent. We will not hesitate to deal with you again for we have received attention like nowhere else and I have traveled a lot! Have a beautiful year 2009.

EXCEPTIONAL GALAPAGOS CRUISE

Galapagos boat cruise was exceptional. Back in Quito for mountain biking on Cotopaxi then river rafting then Amazon jungle lodge.

Many, many, many thanks to all concerned with the Galapagos plans......especially Soledad, Manolo and Aline in San Cristobal.
Will never forget exceptional experience !!!!!!

FANTASTIC MACHU PICCHU

Had a phone call from Machu Picchu yesterday from Michael just to say that the guide, Efraim was the best guide he had ever met and he was having the time of his life, everything was fantastic etc etc
He's off canoeing now and away to Lima later.

BEAUTIFUL PERU

Hi
I just wanted to let you know the trip was great and to thank you for looking after Kristine and I so well. The tour group you booked with did a fantastic job. They were extremely well organized, punctual and very professional and did a great job.

Peru is a beautiful country and the people are friendly. The actual hike we.........are certainly glad we did it because it was a prelude to Kilimanjaro next January. A test if you will. If we go to Africa it will very likely just be for safaris.

Thanks again for your great work in making this trip the experience of a lifetime.
Best regards,
Fred

WONDERFUL ASIA

Here we are back in Canada after a great vacation in Asia

We had a wonderful time and must congratulate you for putting on a first class tour….The itinerary could not be faulted and exceeded our travel expectations. The accommodations were great from small guest houses to luxurious resorts. We thoroughly enjoyed the different types of transportation used, from planes, boats. trains, bicycles, trishaws, tuc, tuc, and even an elephant ride. The group leaders were very knowledgeable in showing and explaining the cultures of all the places we visited. They also made the travel group feel very comfortable together, making it feel like you were traveling with family members. The small group size was great as we were all able to travel in comfort and style together.

The cooking lessons in Chiang Mai were excellent and we cant wait to try some of the recipes we learnt to cook, especially the Tom Yum Soup.

Thank you very much for all you have done in making this such a special vacation for us.

COSTA RICA

The holidays were fabulous and really glad we chose Costa Rica. Everything went well and we survived....... Thank god for GPS systems (we rented that with the car)....... We missed the correct turn on the first block but the wonderful GPS recalculated and we went a different route. I took over 1000 pictures. We love the Caribbean side, less people and the rainforest was wonderful. NO TURTLES except one little one, but lots of everything else. Unbelievable! Loved Lugana Lodge!

ANTARCTICA!

Greetings from Ushuaia, the 'End of the World'! I have just returned from my 'Expedition Cruise' to Antarctica, and all I can think about is going back. It is too special to be a 'once in a lifetime' trip! All I can say is, book a trip and GO!

I have never taken a cruise before, and this one was perfect. My ship, the 'M/S Clipper Adventurer', is a very fine vessel. Big enough to be really comfortable, with an overall length of 100 meters and equipped with stabilizers, and yet small enough to feel really friendly. We were 110 passengers...

ANTARCTICA ADVENTURE

Hi Nigel just a short email to let you know how well our trip to Antarctica went. Everything went according to plan and we were picked up at all locations. The Hotel Presidente in Santiago.... is well situated and the Lodge Terrentai in San Pedro de Atacama is a lovely hotel with great meals and the excursions were wonderful as were the guides. What can we say about the Antarctica cruise but it was fabulous and we would recommend the ship to any who might be thinking of going to the Antarctica. the guides were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We saw fantastic wild life and scenery. Anyway just to let you know all went very well and we were extremely pleased with A.I.'s arrangements.

Thank you
Joan

FASCINATING COSTA RICA

Just back from a trip to remember, arranged for us by Adventures Incorporated. Seven memorable days in beautiful, fascinating Costa Rica. Just gave them our dates and told them what we wanted to see and they did the rest. Absolutely no worries. Thank you to Pacesetter.

PERU ADVENTURE

I came to A.I with an idea and a time line, I had my head set on going solo down to Chile and making my own way. That changed with the advice of A.I. I instead went to Peru on a guided tour. I was sceptical at first having never been on a guided tour thinking it wasn't going to be my cup of tea, but I was proven wrong. For the amount of time I had, a trip to Peru turned out to be the best destination imaginable, all my bookings were reliable and the group that I toured with were all exactly like minded to me, we all had a bit of an introverted wild side, yet still craved some English speaking familiarity. I have never known such a short time to last so long. It seems the advice of Adventures Incorporated truly did ensure I had an amazing time. Peru wasn't on my radar when I set out, but now I can't stop recommending it!

AMAZING ECUADOR

"Last summer....... I had the opportunity to travel to Quito, Ecuador where we spent 5 days exploring this amazing city in the clouds before flying to the Galapagos Islands. I was so impressed with the amount of things Adventures Incorporated arranged for us to do in Quito, including a fascinating tour of the old city and its museums, shopping in the markets, a 14,000 ft cable car ride, white water rafting, a canopy tour, and horse back riding. We're the type of travelers who enjoy a full itinerary, and the short day trips A.I. offered really allowed us to maximize our time there.

.......The tour operators A.I. supports were extremely eco-conscious and strict measures were taken to ensure we did not leave a trace on the Islands or impact the animals during our stay. I will definitely use A.I. again for their knowledge, personalized service, choice of local guides and eco consciousness, which made for a wonderful trip we will always remember."

WONDEROUS ECUADOR

The trip was fantastic, far beyond anything I expected.

Sacha Lodge is unbelievable. The people are wonderful. The birds flowers and animals were wonderful, Everything about the Lodge and the arrangements to get there and back was A1. Send as many as you can to keep this place going.

The Galapagos were wonderful too. Swimming with sea lions is fantastic. Loved all of the trip.

PERU IS AWESOME!

Upon my return to Toronto I had tried contacting you to thank you for such an AMAZING trip with Juan Carlos as our guide. Everything about the trip was outstanding. You run an excellent company and have shown us Peru in a special way. SUSAN
