Shawna was amazing to work with. Very articulate and patient, a wealth of knowledge and flexible. Every aspect, door to door, was thought of and executed. Bosco who met us at the airport, along with Oscar our driver, provide us with a readers digest version of some of the cities culture, history and politics. It was intriguing and fasinating. He assisted with our check in and a couple days later, retrieved us to head to the airport on our way to Cusco. He provided a breakfast pack for us. He checked us in and walked us all the way to TSA. Nothing short of a class act.

We were glad we met with Shawna in Lima the first full day there. She took us to an excellent coffee shop and then to a shop where enjoyed the most tasty chichoron sandwich. This was all before Nancy, our foodie and historian guide took us on a 6 hour city tour that both educated us and introduced our pallet to amazing cuisine. She too demonstrated her passion for her culture and region.

Once in Cusco Cesar our guide and ODee our driver could not had been more fun, knowledgeable and accommodating. Cesar is the epitome of the consummate guide. Expert level with every level of our trip locations and expert level of working with people. Our trip was made all the better and memorable because of him. We even met some of his family in Machu Picchu. We were dazzled by his ease of explaining everything and sharing so many insights of each of our destinations. They will never be forgotten.

Once back in Cusco, Juan, our guide seemed to be cut from the same cloth as Cesar. Attentive, humorous and sincere. Super knowledgeable and patient and accommodating. He checked us in for our flight back to lima.

We haven't stop raving about our trip, kimkim, our agent, guides and drivers to whoever will listen. And, of course, we share the great experience we had in Peru. It's culture, history, people and amazing sites.

Thank you all so much. We have so much love and respect for you and your country.
