This is the truth...if they publish it This will likely not get posted since they only show the good reviews. Our family was scheduled to go to Machu Picchu this week. When the government coup occurred, they went silent. If we didn't hound them, we would never have heard from them. The US Embassy said Americans should not go to Peru yet they told us everything was wonderful. We had to get information from other tour companies and ultimately had to cancel our trip and pay a huge sum to get home. Andean Discovery took our money and ran. Find a reputable company - this isn't it.

Fabulous trip Fabulous trip! We explored Peru and Ecuador/the Galapagos with Andean Discovery, and we were delighted with the whole trip. It was obvious that all hotels and experiences had been carefully vetted. The guides, especially Cesar, were responsive to our every request. Everything about this trip, from the planning to the trip itself, was wonderful. We checked out many companies before choosing this one, and, based on our experience, we highly recommend Andean Discovery.

The tour guides were top rate The tour guides were top rate, both in the Galapagos and in Cusco/Machu Picchu. They all had extensive inside knowledge of our locations. They were also flexible when things didn't happen according to schedule. My only minor complaints are that we were a bit overscheduled on the Galapagos Legend, and there was more rocking of the boat than expected for such a large ship. Would bring sea sickness patches next time.

The best tour we ever had… The best tour we ever had and that is saying something as over the past 18 years we traveled in 48 countries by now. Everything was perfectly organized, customized to our taste and there was nothing left to chance. Even the smallest details were taken care of and we really did not have to think about anything. Just enjoying the experience of seeing new places, interacting with animals and relaxing.

Active Family Tour of Quito and the Galapagos We went on a tour of Quito and the Galapagos. We had about 1-1/2 days in Quito at the beginning, a week in the Galapagos (between three islands) and then a long day back from Isla Isabella, a day in the suburbs in Quito and then returned to Panama, where we live. It was an active tour, and we had quite a few great activities, including a visit to a volcano in the Quito area, getting to snorkel and kayak with a variety of turtles, sea lions, and fish in the Galapagos, and getting to see huge tortoises. We had an individual guide in both places, both of whom were great. It is an active tour, which is exactly what we wanted.
