Alvaro was very helpful and patient during the planning process. During the trip, Jacquie was amazing; every day we were updated with the next days plans in detail. We always knew exactly where & when we were going. Every driver & guide was prompt, helpful, informative polite, professional and friendly. We didn’t have any glitches on our 12 day tour through Peru & Ecuador even with planes, buses, boats, trains, and multiple hotels. I will use KimKim again.
