Our Clients speak out about Touring Peru with us.
Dear Hans:
Our trip to Peru in November was a magical experience- the trip of a lifetime.
And, as you know, we travel frequently and all over the world.
Having you as our guide made ALL the difference.
Time and time again, we were impressed by your ability to find the PERFECT restaurant; the PERFECT Hotel, and the MOSI INTRIGUING site that was a bit off the beaten track.
Most of all, we appreciated your flexibility in finding time for our individual interests - in our case a lifelong fascination with out of the way archaeological museums.
Only a person deeply steeped in the culture and lore of the country could have provided such a thrilling experience.
We are recommending your next trip to all of our knowledgeable travel friends.
All best wishes,
Barbara and Bob Bonnell
Dear Hans,
Peru was absolutely fantastic! I want to thank you for a truly wonderful tour experience. We were all looking so forward to the trip, especially after the introductory slide show orientations presented to the group. I am pleased to say that Peru and You Tours not only fulfilled but exceeded our expectations.
The destinations were amazing and the culture remarkable - from Spanish Colonial Lima (we loved Enrique Poli Museum) to Cuzco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. It was an experience the group from The Mariners Museum will always treasure.
Your constant attention to every detail of our trip, from the excellent accommodations in the hotels you chose for us, the unique and delicious Peruvian cuisine, and the daily excursions and activities, made the trip complete. It certainly was an added benefit to have a real Peruvian as our private Tour Director - your personal knowledge of Peru and your Spanish fluency mad us all feel comfortable that you could deal with any situation that might have arisen!
Once again, thank you for all the hard work you and Donna did to prepare for and execute our trip so flawlessly. I would be glad to recommend Peru and You Tours to other group travel organizers for the outstanding job you did, and wish you much success in the future.
Best Regards,
Carole M. Lynn

Hans and Donna:
Thank you for all you did to make our Peru trip exciting and interesting. Nelson and I are still trying to comprehend all the marvelous sights we saw.
We think the secret to a rewarding trip to Peru is having excellent accommodations and restaurants and having a guide who knows the geography, the peoples, and the cultures. We had it all with Peru and You Tours.
Hans, your expertise, in-depth knowledge, humor, and patience made the trip enjoyable for us. The guides you hired were well-informed, interesting, and fun. The trip was everything we hoped it would be, and more.
Where else would we have seen Machu Picchu in all its breathtaking splendor, the floating islands of the Uros people, the women in their colorful skirts and black hats, wide Andean plains with herds of alpacas and llamas, the many Inca ruins, and the beautiful handicrafts of various regions.
If Nelson and I can be of help to you in offering recommendations, we shall be glad to have prospective Peru visitors contact us by phone, e-mail or regular mail. You may use our names and any part of this e-mail if it might be helpful to you in recruiting clients.
We had a wonderful time.
Best wishes to you and your family,
Cassie Forbes
Dear Hans,

Dear Mr. Kuppers,
Just wanted to let you know how much our group enjoyed the Peru trip. The hotels and meals were excellent, and the itinerary seemed about right for our tour. Machu Picchu was the real reason I decided to go, but I enjoyed Cusco and Lake Titicaca very much, too. Lima was probably the least interesting, but necessary to rest from the day of travel from our point of departure.
Acclimation to the altitude is a must, so Yucay first and back to Cuzco were good choices. Saving Lake Titicaca until last was a good idea. I met tourists from Texas who had gone to Lake Titicaca first, and they had a difficult time due to the altitude. Your intimate knowledge of the country - where to go and what to see - certainly were a plus. Thanks for arranging the bull fight on the spur of the moment. I will probably not make it back to Peru, but have many good memories of the country and its people.
Sincerely,
Ralph Watson
