Andean DiscoveryReviews of andeandiscovery.com

We have never had a private guided custom trip before and now we’re spoiled. Everything and everyone was top notch. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Cesar and we had a great time with our added excursions like mountain biking and visiting Rainbow Mountain. I’ve never seen my husband be so enthusiastic and inquisitive on a trip. He even hugged Cesar at the airport. Can’t say enough good things.

We were a group of 8 and Andean planned our trip to Quito and the Galapagos Islands. Prior to the trip they answered all of our questions in a timely and profession manner...and there were many! They took care of all the transportation/logistics from when we walked out of customs and everything was seemless. The naturalist on the Ahani livaboard was very knowledgable about the environment and wildlife but had room for improvement on his communication/flexibility.

Clear communication about itineraries, knowledgeable guides, and safe drivers make for a great trip. The prix fixe menus at the restaurants was very repetitive. More variety, even among local cuisine, would be appreciated.

I originally found Andean Discovery through an on-line search when we started planning our trip to Ecuador and Peru. I called and they picked up the phone right away and from that point on I knew that they were going to do an excellent job building out our trip for us. They were very responsive and answered all our questions throughout the process. We were interested in the Amazon, Galapagos and Machu Picchu and they created an excellent itinerary that included three nights at the impressive Napo Wildlife Ecolodge (Amazon), 5 days on the Elite Catamaran (Galapagos) and then on to Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. The accommodation selections that they recommended were first rate. Everything was so well organized and on time and they had staff meet us at the airports who assisted with check in at the hotels and then again at the airports to collect boarding passes and getting us checked in for our flights. NO STRESS! The local guides that Andean employs are top notch and speak excellent English. We couldn’t have been happier with the level of service of this travel company and highly recommend them for any travel to South America.

Our experience with Andean Discovery (17 day Amazon, Galapagos, Machu Pichu trip) was excellent. The itinerary they put together was perfect and they executed it flawlessly. Their tour guides were always exactly where and when they said they would be and they were all so friendly and knowledgeable. Communication was a breeze. The trip was so seamless we were able to just enjoy the experience instead of worrying about logistics.

Amazing trip, small group and a fantastic guide Gallo.

The guides were wonderful. They were knowledgeable about the places we visited and tailored the experience to keep my kids happy and entertained.

Andean Discovery has some of the best guides in each location that are knowledgable and personable. They know the best of the lodging opportunities, even if it means traveling a bit further to get there. The stunning vistas in Chile were well worth the wait, even when Mother Nature's heavy summer winds kicked up and made summer travel difficult.I opted for the dinner tango show in Buenos Aires and was not disappointed. The Gamboa Windery tour was also delightful, although I would like to now tour Mendoza.
