    4. Ecuador, Galapagos Islands, Peru holidays

    5. Overall level of satisfaction

    7. This was an outstanding experience, which exceeded expectations. Totally enjoyable.

    8. Tribes service

      • Excellent

      Excellent

    10. Booking with Tribes was a very positive experience. We found the on-line information, the written documents, plus conversations with Dan clear, helpful and informative. We were impressed with the way he tailor - made the holiday to meet our spedific requests. Links with local agencies were seamless and we felt well cared for and unobtrusively monitored.

    11. Expectations

      • Excellent

      Excellent

    13. Machu Picchu was magical, Lake Titicaca and islands, boat trip etc enjoyable and a learning experience.
      Train journeys in both countries (Peru and Ecuador) offered so many different and unusual experiences - scenery, service, views into local life and rural communities.

    14. Guides

      • Excellent

      Excellent

    16. All our guides were prompt,exceptionally knowledgeable and informative. We enjoyed their enthusiasm about their particular specialism or geographical area. We learned a great deal and liked their ability to adapt plans in order to ensure that we gained as much as possilbe from our visit.
      Tanya and Eduardo were outstanding. (One or two reps / guides told us as we arrived that we came 'well-recommended!' Presumably from the previous place / firm.....) We would also like to say how much we appreciated the skill and attentiveness of all the local reps. and drivers, and that we had good - quality, comfortable cars.

    17. Social & Environmental Responsibility

      • Excellent

      Excellent

    19. Good use of local hotels, houses, firms and guides. We saw at first hand how much the planning enabled money to go directly into local economies. We also appreciated the high level of awareness and consciousness raising with regard to preservation of environment, local cultures and of course the wildlife. All the guides and reps. were so informative on these issues.

    20. Other comments

    21. An overall memorable holiday, which we will remember for a long time. Having just recovered from jet lag, we feel motivated to sort out the photos and videos!
      We will probably use Tribes again.
      KLM - outward journey fine, return journey poor, owing to grumpy staff and poor food.
      All internal flights were brilliant.
