Testimonios

Querida Milagros,

Chegamos bem e já estamos em casa. Gostaríamos de agradecer pela maravilhosa experiência que nos proporcionou. Nossa viagem ao Peru ficará para sempre na lembrança. Foi tudo ótimo!! Gratos pelo carinho e pela dedicação de vocês.

The guides were excellent and really terrific at all the sites we visited in Peru. ILE Tours handled everything meticulously. We forgot not one but two camera chargers. Our tour director found BOTH types of chargers in Cusco that night for us and brought them to our hotel the next morning. This literally saved our ability to take photos during our trip. We had personal concierge service 24 hours a day throughout our week in Peru with ILE Tours.

Excellent experience and I will be writing good things about ILE Tours on tripadvisor. Just fun people to be with, great guides, food, hotels and experience. We weren't left by ourselves to find out the best places to change money, which ATMs or what to do. We were kept busy everyday with enough downtime to relax. Milagros and Mark took us around Cusco and we felt like we were hanging out with friends.

Great Cruise, great tours, great service, great price!! I had a blast and still keep in touch with the folks at ILE Tours. It was so easy to see these fantastic sites. My itinerary was completely planned so I could see the best of Cusco and the Sacred Valley. My 8/7 cruise aboard the MY Guantanamera was a dream trip and my best Christmas ever..

Dear Mark,

Thank you for creating the trip of a lifetime for me, calling me daily to see how I was and for all the little extras that made traveling a pleasure. I will tell all my frineds about ILE Tours and your outstanding service. Please stay in touch.

Best Regards,

I would like to thank you for the wonderful tour you and your colleagues organized for us. It is really rear case when everything does work so accurately and timely. You definitely exceeded our expectations! I could not even imagine that with such a short notice and within so little time we shall manage to see so many interesting places. All excursions, sites, hotels and transfers had been so nice. We spent lovely week in Peru and liked the country so much that we will be back as soon as we have a chance to. We are very much grateful to you and your colleagues for this unforgettable vacation. Should we know how wonderful the tour is, we would definitely schedule more time for it. Next time we shall follow your advice and go to Ti-Ti-Ka-Ka J I will definitely recommend you and your company to all my friends! Please stay in touch and feel free sending any promo events or interesting news ?

With very kind regards,

Hello Mark and Milagros,

Just returned home yesterday after a tough ride home on Avianca and Continental. When we arrived at the airport in Cali, we were advised that Avianca does NOT have an interline agreement with Continental thus we would need to pick up our bags and recheck in Bogota. Our trip was truly wonderful. I had a grand and terrific time. I was sorry not to get to see the dancers in the square in Cusco, but Sula really wanted to shop. Machu Picchu was incredible and every bit as exciting as I had imagined. Had we gone on the tour that afternoon, I don't know how we would have faired as Sula does not speak English! Buses leave every few minutes! As it turned out that was my only opportunity to see the dancers and enjoy the costumes and music. Ruben was awesome as a guide and well worth the extra amount we paid. We did have trouble with the tickets to enter the park. Ruben had to call the hotel manager to intervene. The delay made us miss the sunrise, but the views are so beautiful that I just tossd it up to c'est la vie!
Lima is a great city and we really enjoyed visiting. Our driver Richard and Nieves were super. We all laughed so much and had so much fun. Getting up at 2:00 AM on our departure was not fun, but we survived!!
We had a wonderful time in Cali visiting with family and friends. We went to a great restaurant outside the city and saw a show of beautiful horses, incredible training. Live music and BK and I danced! Even though we skipped Bogota, BK still gifted me a beautiful new emerald. Wow, am I lucky!
So, my email is down at home and I don't know if I will have email this weekend. It really was so swell to meet you both, you are a lovely couple and we wish you only the best with your expanding family. Thank you for your kind words, I do appreciate it!

Hugs y abrazos,

Hi Milagros and Mark and all of your team. We are now finally back in Sydney and into the hum drum. We want to than you for such a fantastic trip, one we will certainly not forget. We call it our Grand Tour of South America although we have just hit some small few of the highlights in anticipation of a return sometime in the future to really see a little bit more. There were many highlights and it seemed that every day held something new. Probably the best things were the unexpected - like Ruben dressing up and posing with such regal splendor, the birds and the many children we saw along the way. Perhaps next time we might look at some voluntary work. In particular we enjoyed your organization and attention to detail and especially the quality of the guides (give Jonathan our best wishes). These and other things made the trip outstanding. Fortunately we have a few (about 2000) photos to share with others! Thanks again.

Dear ILE Tours,

We thought that you provided a fantastic service and we were extremely happy with everything you did for us prior to and during the few weeks that we had in Peru.

The jungle lodge was great and our guide and the rest of the staff were a lot of fun. We really enjoyed cruising along the river, seeing the flora and fauna and being without electricity is a real novelty (and there is nothing like traipsing through the jungle in the mud at night getting bitten by mozzies to make us appreciate what we have at home hey?).

Thank you again. Our trip was outstanding and the credit goes to Mark and Millagros. Please feel free to use us as references at any time and if we ever have friends going to Sth America, we will certainly recommend you to them.

Kind regards

Our 4 day Inca Trail trek was great,was a life time experience, we were the only girls in the group and they all realy looked after us. our guide was very nice and porters also.it everything was very magical and well organized.

Thank you Mark for all of your guidance, planning and making our visit to Peru a total success. Titicaca lake was awesome, and we had an excellent lunch in Barranco (Javier). Hector also brought us to a park of fountains in Lima. Was a great opportunity to see local Peruvians at play on a Saturday evening. Very few tourists.

I rate the trip a 10 and have not stopped talking about our tremendous experience in Peru. We drank up the history (excellent guides and transportation), and loved the cuisine, weather, and Peruvian people. Will be sure to send your way any friends who are considering a Peru vacation about ILE Tours

Thank you!

Dear Mark,

We finally have a chance to write a quick note and attach our thank you letter for you and your company.

We had an amazing experience and it was possible because of you and the amazing people you have working with you as part of your team. Thank you for everything and please do not hesitate to let us know if you are ever in Canada for a visit and or if we can help in anyway in some of the project you conduct once in a while for the benefit of the Peruvian Children.

The intent of this letter is to express our sincerest appreciation for the touristic services that ILE Tours provided for my husband Paul and I, (Aida). Coming from a North American cultural where booking tours has been reduced to the input of one’s credit card, your company’s approach to custom made packages for individuals is an amazing breath of fresh air. As part of the pre-planning for this trip, it was very comforting to be able to make contact on Skype with you for all of our one hundred and ten questions prior to our departures. With your answers and patients we were able to understand how the touristic booking system in Peru works. (Basically do not leave anywhere without your Passport…LOL!). Without the Spanish linguistic skills, we would not have been able to travel in Peru to the locations of our desire and experience what we had without you and your staff. Everything from our arrival to Lima and being picked up by Richard, to being personally meet by you in Cusco; to our tours of the Sacred Valley and our independent day in Ollantaytambo; our December 21st Winter Soles ceremony with Shaman Pumus and Rubin our tour operator guide at Machu Picchu will always be the warmest of memories in our hearts and minds. Your attention to detail was superb.

Paul and I were attracted to your company for the Mystical aspects that some of your tour packages described in the first place and we were defiantly impressed! After leaving Cusco and your ability to be flexible in assisting us in adding an extra day to Puno was extraordinary as we were able to visit Ile del Sole on the Bolivian side of the Titicaca lake. Our stay at the Casona Plaz Hotel was most excellent. Alexsander and Luz Marima were helpful and extremely organized throughout our stay in Puno. We had time to see and meditate at the sacred Inca Puma rock and the Murray Doorway. Titicaca lake was an ethereal experience, as for those who are in the know if it being the Sacral Chakra of the Earth.

Thank you for everything that you have done, and mostly of the kindness and willingness to share with other people about the costumes, history and traditions of Peru. We came with little knowledge of Peru and we left with an incredibly warm and loving place in our hearts four Peru. We hope to one day find ourselves visiting and exploring other parts of Peru, but until then we will insure to let our friends and family know about the magic of ILE Tours’ staff

Many thanks and warm wishes!

Hola Milagros y Mark, de mi parte y de Janet queremos agradecerles , por haber preparado tan hermoso tours, la verdad que pasamos unas vacaciones maravillosas. Por favor extender nuestras felicitaciones y gracias a los guías y choferes. Bendiciones para todos y en especial a Robert.

Las próximas vacaciones nos vamos para Ecuador y Galapagos, ya les aviso.

Hi Mark,

Sorry it's taken us so long to get back to you! We enjoyed Lima (but obviously not as much as Cuzco) and we had a safe flight home.

Thank you again for planning such an amazing time; it was the trip of a lifetime. We've showed all of our friends and family our many pictures and they're all impressed how smoothly everything ran. We let them know that it was all thanks to you and that if they ever plan to do a similar trip to contact you. One guy from my work might even be in contact soon.

Just a little note of thanks and expression of our gratitude and a few gifts from Canada for you and your family.

Our trip was PERFECT! Thanks again to you! You made it all happen. From putting together the itinerary to basically holding our hands and making sure that all of our tours went perfectly. We really appreciated all thatyou did for us have been sharing our good fortune in having traveled with ILE Tours. It was a trip of a lifetime from start to finish. We cannot tell you enough; THANK YOU A MILLION for making our trip to Puer, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Colca Canyon, Puno, Arequipa AND the Inca Trail such a positive experience.

We wanted to thank you and the ILE Tours staff for making our Peruvian vacation a memorable one. Lynne felt much better after we reached Cuzco and was so happy she was able to climb Huayna Picchu and enjoy the incredible views of Machu Picchu from the top. We enjoyed having Edith as our tour guide through the Sacred Valley and Rueben as our guide in Machu Picchu. The weather was perfect everyday. Even though it was raining lightly when we reached Machu Picchu, it cleared up later in the morning just as were ready to climb Huayna Picchu.
All the hotels were fine. The JW Marriott in Lima had an incredible view and we really enjoyed cooking our own Peruvian dinner at the Sky Kitchen.

Thanks again for all your help!

Mark,

We're back in the US. My stomach was very disappointed when I went downstairs for breakfast and there wasn't a breakfast buffet waiting !

We had a nice time in Lima and thanks for arranging that part of our trip too.

Thank you for all your help both in both planning and executing our vacation. We had a wonderful time and have many lasting memories, with luxury bus and guinea pig having new meanings !! Jane, John and I spent several hours at the airport smiling and sharing memories of our trip. Please thank Hamilton for everything. He's a special person and one of our happy memories.

We'll be recommending you to any friends who plan to visit Peru. My husband now wants to see Machu Picchu so you may see me again ? Thank you again for the fabulous time.

Yes, we made it home just fine. Again, thank you for setting up a remarkable trip. Sandi and I had the greatest experience of our life, worth every penny and more ? You guys were so much more than a Travel Agency and it was like visiting friends. THANKS!!!!

Hello ILE, Our trip to Cusco and the Sacred Valley December 2007 was perfect. Thank you for arranging our airfare, hotel, transportation and tourist admission tickets to all sites. ‘ILE Tours’ made seeing Cusco and the Sacred Valley of the Incas wonderful and easy. We were busy everyday and still had time to explore and shop in the beautifully old city of Cusco by foot and taxi. ......

Prezada Milagros,Muito obrigado por ter providenciado a viagem de forma tão organizada e pontual. Só tenho a agradecer pelo trabalho oferecido, em especial ao realizado por você e pela Flor em Cuzco. Tudo saiu perfeito. Certamente recomendarei vocês para inúmeras pessoas aqui no Brasil. Muito obrigado por tudo.

My son and I were happy to make the aquaintance of Mark and Milagros of ILE Tours and in twenty minutes they had helped two very confused American tourists establish a plan of travel that was tailored to our needs and desires. We would highly recommend their services!

Boa noite

Milagros, eu e Claudia gostariamos de agradecer por tudo! A viagem foi perfeita, voces foram muito profissionais e o Peru é um país maravilhoso! Esperamos retornar e conhecer Chan-Chan, senhor de sipan e arequipa.

Recomendaremos sua agência aos amigos que quiserem conhecer o Peru.

Precisando de algo no Brasil, entre em contacto.

Abraços.

Hi Mark!

We made it home safely, thank you for asking. And Lima was great, a little rainy, but that didnt stop us. As for our pictures... Together we took about 1,500. So right now we are just trying to sort out the best and put captions on them before sending them out. But as soon as they are ready we would love to share them! We have been busy bragging to all of our friends/family/neighbors how amazing our trip was! It was certainly the most adventurous trip I have ever taken! You and Milagros were both so awesome! Thank you so much for all of your help! If any of our friends head to S. America we will certainly pass your names on!!!

Thank you so much for all you did!!!

Dear Milagros and Mark

This is a very big THANK YOU for arranging a "holiday of a lifetime" for us in Arequipa, Colca Canyon, Puno, Titicaca lake, Cusco, Machu Picchu and Lima. Everything worked well, down to the last detail. The Millenium in the Galapagos Islands turned out an absolute winner of a boat. Food, accommodation and guide were all first class. We enjoyed our short stay in Lima (very good city tour) and toasted you both with a last pisco sour at the La Rosa Nautica Restaurant by the Costa Verde Pier in Miraflores. We would also like to thank you for your care of phoning us several times to see that all is well.

We shall look forward to seeing you in London, hopefully in the not too distant future.

Best regards.

The 4 day Inca Trail was magnificent and our 5 day cruise was awesome on the Coral II. No hassles and everything was taken care of for us from start to finish. We were even upgraded to the Vistadome train back to Cusco after the hike for no extra charge. Loved it!!

Dear Mark and Milagros,

We made it home safely and we are now just exhausted and doing laundry. We had a great time in Puno and loved our guides. The trip to Sillistani was wonderful and we got great pics there and also at Uros island.

We had such a wonderful time on our trip. The highlights were the canopy walk in the Amazon, the wedding vow ceremony, Inti Raymi ,visiting the schools and getting to know both of you and learning more about your country. We will write something for the trip advisor about you and also send some nice comments to Frommer.

Thanks again for being so helpful and making the trip such a memorable one.

Peru and Bolivia was as good as a trip as i have ever made in all my life that is all thanks to you appreciate all the time you spent and how great everything was and how kind and caring you both are/were

Seamless, hassle free traveling. We saw many tourists were herded from one site to another and had to keep to a schedule. We had a private car, driver and guide and felt like the privileged class traveling in style on our own time frame. Great meals, hotels and price. I cannot say enough good things about how well we were treated. It was like visiting family and they were showing us around. Most travel agencies are like Walmart and ILE Tours is like a fine boutique travel agency.

Hey Mark!
I got home ok!

I had a great time!!! You guys were the best and my mom was very happy to know that I had such great people to hang out with in Cusco!! I'm already working and some of my friends here want your e-mail... ?

I will write about you guys and your work on tripadvisor and my Facebook! You are wonderful and deserve all the credits!!!!
I hope to travel with you guys again!!!!!
Thanks for everything!!!!!!
Best regards,

Fantastic HIKE!!! Great people. I was traveling alone so Milagros and Mark made sure I had company, called everyday and we even went out for beers one night. I want them to come visit me when they are in the US. Cheap price too!!!

We are so grateful we traveled with ILE Tours. Thank you for making our trip seamless, secure and one we willl never forget.. Thank you for everything. Happy new year!

We thought that you provided a fantastic service and we were extremely happy with everything you did for us prior to and during the few weeks that we had in Peru.

Awesome!! Our guides spoke excellent English and we were taken care of everyday. We saw a lot of tourist wandering around looking bored in Cusco but ILE Tours arranged everyday with transportation, tours and a personal touch that we felt like we hit the jackpot. HIghly recommend. Great price too!!
