Vannia, our guide, was the best part about our trip. She was personable, accommodating and professional. She was also incredibly knowledgeable both on the hiking trail and at the sites around the Sacred Valley. We loved our hotels and the food was fantastic every single day. Couldn't have asked for a better trip!

Andean Discovery was 1st class all the way. The guides could work as university professors for their knowledge. The hotels they picked for us were fantastic, the food was excellent! The guides were very friendly and kind. When we needed extra help when I was ill, they went out of their way to help, went to a pharmacy with my wife after hours to get the help I needed. I felt there was nothing that they would not do for us. The sites we saw were so good, I loved every single minute of this trip. Steve and Yvette Fisher

I visited Peru with three girlfriends for my 50th birthday. Andean Discovery did an outstanding job taking care of us and guiding us through their beautiful country. I cannot recommend them enough.

Our family, consisting of a 2 year old all the way up to an 86 year old, just returned from our very favorite family trip ever: Quito and a northern itinerary cruise to the Galápagos aboard the Isabela II. We are very well-traveled and even the toddler has stamps of all kinds in her passport, so that statement isn’t to be taken lightly. Our Quito guide, Cristina, was truly a gem. She was fun and engaging with my children, and gentle and patient with my elderly grandparents. Cristina went above and beyond helping us to experience her beautiful country, teaching us all along the way, and even had my mother’s purse repaired when the strap broke at the beginning of our trip! Our driver, Jaime, was perfect. He drove with care, yet always got us places on time, and was so helpful and friendly. They were always there when they said they’d arrive, and guided us through their culture seamlessly, even amidst all the extra covid measures. I can’t say enough good things about the Galápagos. The islands were beyond our wildest imaginations, and our ship was beautiful. The food was delicious, and they were very accommodating for the children and their tastes. The naturalists, Lola, Mari, Antonio and another whose name escapes me right now, were all delightful and ever so patient with my budding 7 year old naturalist, who peppered them with questions and spouted his knowledge at every turn, but was met with kindness and hearts who genuinely love to teach and guide the next generation. They were also incredible with my grandparents, whose limited mobility (it’s not limited so much here at home, but on a rocking ship with wet landings and such...) would’ve otherwise prevented them from experiencing much, but with the care and assistance of the guides and the boat staff, they were able to participate. The animals and birds we saw were breathtaking and it is impossible to describe how amazing the whole thing was. I’d often find myself choking back tears because it was so beautiful to be up close with God’s creatures in their natural habitat. Also, if you’re a snorkel lover, this was the way to go. I snorkeled twice a day and was in heaven. I appreciated how Andean Discovery coordinated everything and planned for every eventuality. We never had to worry about them leaving something out or forgetting something. Oh, and a word about the hotels! The Swissotel Quito was lovely and we enjoyed our nights there. Breakfast was delightful. Also, the EB Hotel...I can’t say enough! We are admittedly hotel snobs, and that hotel was the nicest, most accommodating and most peaceful hotel we have ever stayed at in all our years. The rooms were fantastic, the food amazing, the staff beyond kind and generous (my grandmother complimented the flower display and at dinner the manager gave her a bouquet of all the kinds in the hotel because she wasn’t sure specifically which one she admired so she gave her some of each...you’d never get that in the states!) and the grounds were lush and gorgeous. We all wanted to stay in Ecuador, and we know it was all the hard work of the Andean Discovery staff, their guides, and the wonderful Isabela II staff that made our trip so enjoyable. Thank you!!

I had already booked a trip to Machu Picchu, but it did not include seeing the Peruvian Horses. I went to Andean Discovery and they arranged a day long trip to see the horses and visit some sites on the way. It was great! The guide went the extra mile to help me find items I was looking for. The event was incredible! I later saw another show with the horses, but there was no comparison. The one I went to through Andean Discovery was much better. The people from Andean Discovery are very knowledgable and helpful on all matters to do with Peru! I would definitely recommend them!

Andean Discovery provided excellent service - starting with an itinerary customized for our fairly large group. Very accommodative with change requests. The guides they provided were knowledgeable and personable - and went above and beyond to help us with all of our needs - especially Cesar in Cusco. Highly recommended!

Traveled to Quito and Galapagos Islands over Christmas week. The weather was wonderful. Warm, breezy, sunny. Only one day was humid. Our guides were the best. Ericka in the islands and Carlos in Quito. They made sure we enjoyed our experience. We snorkeled on 2 different days and each was a different experience. The water was beautiful blue green and we saw many different fish, turtles, birds, red crabs, sharks. One shark swam every where with my daughter. The huge tortoises are a sight to see. They are every where there's lush green grass. Prepare to walk everywhere. Had many tasty dishes at different restaurants. Isabela Island is one of the safest places in the world. The people are happy, friendly, and always ready to give you a helping hand. Our trip was wonderful and all 10 of us will go back to Isabela in the near future.

Great people! Took care of my kids royally and as was there. I could not come because of illness. The only problem was with the insurance. Rather stubborn in reimborsing.

Andean provided us with the BEST vacation that we have ever had in our 30 years together! It was a magnificent tri-fecta of the GALAPAGOS ISLANDS, the AMAZON RAINFOREST and MACHU PICCHU in two weeks! Each of these locations are remote and not easy to access however the Andean Team made it seamless. The Tour Guides without exception were very professional and knowledgable. We saw an incredible amount of sea life in, on and around the Galapagos Islands from the Galapagos Legend which was a perfect sized vessel for us in the ocean waters. We were in ocean waters for four nights. We were then canoed and eventually hand paddled into the Amazon basin to the Napo Wildlife Center were we saw so very many exotic creatures like Scarlet McCaws, Tucans, Red Howler Monkeys, Spider Monkeys, Sloth, tarantula, piranha and other snakes, turtles, bugs and butterflies too numerous to mention. Oh the wonderful photos!! Last, we began a private tour from Cusco to Machu Picchu and back. We were with our tour guide Franco and his most excellent driver Wilbur for four days and three nights. Franco kept us on track and was appreciative when we mentioned that we wanted to see a local bakery, animals up close, stop for a beer or that we needed to get our laundry done...all requests were easily handled. I had previously considered historic places as "piles of rocks" - well I have to tell you that the miles and miles of extraordinary rock work in the Andes was absolutely mind boggling! It was a huge WOW. Only wish Andean provided tours elsewhere, we would not hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for the incredible memories!

The trip was one of the "Best" times of my life. It was well put together. The guides and drivers were kind and nice and well educated. They helped with everything from meeting us at airports. making sure we were where we were suppose to be. We were taken to great restaurants and hotels. The hotel in Machu Picchu City was nice but we were put in a room above a train track. right above with heavy train traffic. The back side of the hotel was a beautiful roaring river. I requested to move with a $30.00 up charge which I gladly paid but when the company heard about it they paid for the upgrade.
