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.

This trip was a bucket list & overall a great experience. Here are the things we thought could be improved. 1. The tipping situation. The explanation in the documents could have been clearer. One of our guides met us at the airport & escorted us to the hotel (& vice versa). Other guides were with us all day every day & we felt immersed in their experience. The cruise had it's own tipping schedule which was confusing. A bit more detail would have been welcome. 2. On the cruise, there was a photo contest & we were told to review their portion of the trip, after which we would receive a copy of the contest submissions. To date we have not received this. 3. We went on a cooking tour in Cusco, which was great. We were promised a copy of the recipes. To date we have not received this. 4. One excursion, to Wayna Picchu was canceled due to a landslide. Will this fee be refunded? Our Cusco guide, Elias, was excellent - better than all the rest. I feel fortunate to have been assigned to him & will send more business to you because of him.

It was a fabulous trip with terrific guides. I had an amazing experience.

Our entire Andean Discovery trip starting in Quito then the Galápagos Islands and Amazon rainforest in Ecuador followed by Cusco and Machu Picchu in Peru was super! All of our guides (Stalin in Quito, Ivan in the Galapagos, Jose in the Amazon and Cesar in Peru) along with the many drivers were beyond fantastic. We couldn’t imagine doing a tour like we did without their knowledge and helping us navigate each of the very different locations on this trip. The accommodations were good too with our least favorite being the Cusco hotel on our last night due to the noise inside and outside the hotel. If we had any questions before or during our tour the Andean staff especially Pablo were very responsive. We would highly recommend Andean Discovery and this tour!

Our trip was fabulous thanks to Andean! They helped create an itinerary that hit all the things we wanted to see. They set us up with an engaging and knowledgeable guide who made this the trip of a lifetime. Thanks Andean!
