 Dear Alvaro,

Thank you for being such a good travel planner in such a short time.
Especially with rearranging the plan halfway due to our change of plans.
We had a really good time for 3 weeks in Peru.

We started in Lima, Pisco, Nazca, Arequipa, Colca Canyon, Puno, Cusco, Machu Picchu “beautiful”, Puerto Maldonado, “jungle lodge”, and Lima again.
This was all arranged for a good price.
Alvaro is a honest and friendly person who is highly recommended as a tour operator by us.
Thanks again for everything

Hi Alvaro

It was a great pleasure to meet you, and hope to see you and work with you upon our return to Peru. Your help in Lima was priceless and your advice and patience with our constant change of plans was amazing.
The trip that we eventually decided upon to Huaraz was a breath taking. The bus trip was first class and full of many memories.
The markets, mountain trails, animals, food, and especially the people were fantastic.

The tour guides were a source of rich history and humor, and The Baños Termales was so much fun.

My experience with your travel arrangements were always professional. I have made use of your services five times and every time without any complications.

Hi Alvaro,

Apologies for the length of time it has taken me to write this letter. It has been very busy, as I am sure you have been, but I thought that I must do this.


I just wanted to say a BIG thank you from myself, Andrew and Adele for organizing our trip to Peru with such professionalism. Everything was working exactly as we planned. We were always met punctually at airports and bus stations, had very knowledgeable guides wherever we went and were always received with courtesy and friendliness. Thank you also for all your advice on our trip because we wouldn't have been able to tailor make it without your help.

I have already recommended that my friends use your company if they want! to visit your beautiful country. I am sure I speak for all three of us to say that we will continue to recommend you in the future and will definitely be in contact if we should decide to visit your part of the world again.

Thanks again

Dear Alvaro:

Thank you so much for your assistance during our time
in Peru. Govan and I were so relieved to find someone
who was not only efficient and knowledgable, but
friendly and helpful. We were so greatful that we
could trust you to find the most affordable flight,
even at the last minute, as it was.

When I needed another flight, I did not hesitate to
find you again as your competence and warmth was
welcome at a difficult time of battling to speak
Spanish, being lied to by other companies, and running
out of time to get to my destination.

We will always remember and appreciate the time and
effort you put into our bookings, even coming in
person to retrieve us from the embassy! I would highly
recommend you to any person traveling in Peru, and
wish you every luck in your work and travel.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Kelly

Hi Alvaro,

I am happy to write something...here it is...

Alvaro/Travel Options was recommended to us by a Peruvian friend and my
friend did not steer us wrong. Alvaro helped to ensure that we had a
wonderful time in Peru. It was amazing how extremely well organized
everything was, from the airport pickups to the tours and flights. Alvaro
was always very responsive by email to any questions I had when I was
arranging our trip and very accommodating to any changes I wanted made.
Thank you Alvaro for a great week! We will be back!

Ilana Locker and family, Venezuela and USA






Dear Alvaro

The personal attention we received from you from the planning phase of our itinerary until after we have left Peru was wonderful. I am sure it is this personal touch that makes your business such a success and a pleasure to deal with. We were really glad that we could actually meet you in person in Lima. Thank you for making the most of the little time we had available in Lima and to show us the places of interest.
The people you liaise with in Cusco were also great and always put a great effort into making sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible. With so many flights, buses, trains, different accommodation and guides to coordinate, this is no easy task! (The guide on the Sacred Valley day trip even phoned us later that evening to make sure that we have arrived at our wonderful Incaland hotel safely after being picked up by car in Chinchero!)
We experienced Peru as a beautiful diverse country with wonderful friendly people, good food and an incredible history – our whole family enjoyed it tremendously
We wish you, your company and the people of Peru all of the best for the future.

Kind regards from

Alvaro,

I arrived in Chicago without delay and could participate in 2 classes from 1:30-9:00!

I really want to say thank you for everything you did for me.
This trip was special for me in many meanings, may be in my life!!
All places I visited impressed me so much and gave me deep insights to think about my life.
I had never thought that Peru was such a rich country geologically, culturally and historically.

I guess I am a lucky person for having a good trip on behalf of your help.

I cannot forget that I worked as your employee!!
I hope to see you soon again.
Lastly, thank you again for everything since we started to exchange emails.

All the luck for your business and for your dreams!
Best,

Dear Alvaro

It's been almost 2 months since we arrived back in South Africa, but the sweet taste of our holiday in South America still lingers on.

I would, on behalf of my family, really like to express our gratitude for a holiday we will never forget. Thank you for the great tour plan you drew up, and everything that went with it. We did not have to worry about anything. Our guides were great, the accommodation were great (given the fact that you had such a tight budget to work with) and the sights we visited was well worth visiting. Even the weather was not as bad as we expected.

Thanks also for giving us a chance to amend our tour plans of the Amazon - the change was definitely worth our while. We saw the anaconda and went on a canoe ride of 4 km down the river. Certainly a highlight for everyone.

We had a wonderful time and would recommend your excellent services to anyone who wants to go to Peru.

If you do come to South Africa, do not hesitate to contact us, and we will go out of our way to show you our beautiful country and all the wonders it has to offer.

Thanks again for a job well done.

Regards
Antoinette van Eeden

Dear Alvaro

Dear Alvaro

My wife and I are very grateful for all the services that you prepared for us. The trip to Cusco and Machu Pìcchu that you arranged was a success and we enjoyed every minute of the trip.
We are also glad that the tourist guides in Cusco and Machu Picchu were all very professional, spoke good English and were very helpful. I hope that you would give me the same quality service or even better in the future. Once again, thank you!

Sincerely

Hi Alvaro

Our trip was excellent! & very well organized with good service. Everyone we met was helpful and friendly. The guides who led us through the jungle and showed us the inca ruins were totally enthusiastic and passionate about their subjects and made us interested and keen to know more.
The jungle lodge and the hotel in Cusco were comfortable and the staff went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable.
All transfers worked well.
Thank you for your efficient organization.
The only improvement we would have liked is less rain at Machu Picchu….not under your control!

Many thanks!

Dear Alvaro,
Travel Options

During my tour in Peru from 20 January 2002 to 14 December 2005, you were not only my friend, but also the Embassy´s agent to get our Diplomats from Peru to South Africa and back.

Well, in short, your company has grown to a business and your friendship to a wonderful delight. I wish you the best and I would like to thank you for assisting South African Citizens during my tour in Peru.

You have proved to be a decision maker and problem solver for the Embassy.

Yours sincerely,
Joymery B van de Merwe,
Attaché
