Testimonials

“Just wanted to let you know how perfect our vacation in Peru was. We kept saying to each other that it’s the best trip we’ve ever taken. We definitely wouldn’t have known what to prioritize without your help–thank you SO much! Despite the relatively fast pace of the trip, Dave and I felt so relaxed because you had taken care of all the details so we were able to just enjoy Peru and our family time! It was the perfect combo of doing a lot without being stressed out.”
J. Walling, from Bogota, Colombia

“Really enjoyed the trip. The service at the lodge was excellent. Meals good and our naturalist guide exceptional. Also, appreciated all the questions that were asked to you and the staff. Every detail was attended to. Thanks so much for putting together the trip.”

V. Van Iden, from Ohio, USA
“We have been meaning to write and thank you for an absolutely amazing tour. Your patience and tolerance for changes and accommodating our requests was fantastic. A frequently used phrase was “We love you, Jeff!” when we arrived at a new destination or particularly loved an activity.”
A. Clancey, from Australia

“The trip was all that we expected and more. Mashpi Lodge was a wonderful intro to the Galápagos Islands. We really appreciate all you do for us.”

“The trip was great. Jeff planned everything in detail and the instructions were really clear so it was easy to follow.
