Machu Picchu & the Galapagos Islands Starting From $11,359 $10,759*pp

The service was excellent Our guide Edward was outstanding.

Airline scheduling was strenuous. The highlight for the tour was the Galapagos.

Collette took care of everything and got us to all the important sites with no hassles. Our tour guide was exceptional. Had lots of information and kept us informed of what was happening the next day. Had a good sense of humor and took care of anything that might come up. Our local guides were also wonderful. I tell all my friends what a great company Collette is and will be traveling with you again.

One of my favorites was the day at the Village of Misminay for lunch and being with the people of the village for lunch and witnessing their customs. Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands were awesome. It was the trip of a lifetime!

Excellent every step of the way.

Seeing the animals up close.

Everything was catered for and just seamless - tour manager was so helpful and knowledgeable and really good fun . Hotels and trips were all just amazing loved it all . Guides were all great as was service in hotels and on ship

All of it - snorkling, fish, turtles and sharks. Visiting tortoises. Ship bbq all the amazing wildlife - guides were amazing and fun

They were easy to talk to and found the answer fast. But when we emailed and asked a question there never was a answer back.

The tour was very well organized, But having a 9 yr old child running around and butting in, pushing people out of the way, and having to babysit him is not what we paid for!,, They don’t understand what is really said or going on. Also having someone who couldn’t walk more than a hafe a block on this kind of tour is so wrong. It takes up the guides time and others who had to help out. The tour guides tried to make it work. But even he was supprised to see this person on this trip. **** The tour guide was very knowledgeable and great to be around. The add on tours at the end were less than good. We really didn’t do anything much but travel and told to shop. The host family seemed nice but we were told that they don’t eat or talk with you “ it is not politically correct “ then how do we get to experience their life. It just felt like being dropped off in a hotel and eating in a restaurant. Our guide spent most of her time in her room. One of the bus drivers on the add on. Drove less than safe, trying to get places faster than needed. Going well above the posted limits. Passing on corners any time is so wrong, I wasn’t sure if we were going to make it back in one piece.

The main tour we took was very good, a few minor things but we’ll worth it. We added on a three day extension, this was at best a 1. A family visit where you couldn’t even eat with them, a one person “music” factory, one old lady weaving was the weaving factory.

Well done, professional tour manager, did all the things advertised with good quality hotels and meals

Collette goes above and beyond in making every trip special. Their tour managers and guides are the best and the accommodations are always top notch. We have been on 4 Collette trips and are planning our 5th.

We were at a high point outside of Cusco City taking pictures late in the afternoon and when we turned around Collette had set up tables with linen tablecloths and waiters serving us Champaign, mimosas with fresh mango juice, and chocolates and fresh pastries. They alway go the extra step to make your trip memorable.

Tour Guide came from Peru was very good ensured that everyone new what to expect each day. Made sure everyone understood what he had told them. Obtained train tickets for trip to Macchu Picchu All trips had knowledgeable local guides Galapagos Cruise had naturist Guides and hole trip was excellant.

Macchu Picchu train journey was thoroughly enjoyable. The sites in Cusco,and Macchu Picchu are a must see. The Galapagos Islands and the guides were spendid, a real joy to see the animals in their natural enviroment.

THE TRIP LEADER, ELIUTH PEREZ MADE THE EXPERIENCE EVEN BETTER

I LOVE THE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCES WE WERE EXPOSED TO, ESPECIALLY THE VILLAGE TRIP NEAR CUZCO. INTERACTING WITH "REAL" PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT CULTURES IS IMPORTANT TO ME. ALSO THE COLLETTE FOUNDATION CHILDRENS CENTER VISIT.

Excellent service, great choices of hotels and fantastic guides. I would have given it five stars if it were not for a couple of very repetitive menus in Peru.

Beautiful tour! Most memorable was Cusco and the Galápagos with visit of Darwin Center. I would have given 5 stars BUT some people were in no physical condition to be on a tour that precisely warned about some strenuous activities and the necessity to be fit. Do not understand why they were accepted on this particular tour, therefore slowing down everybody and not getting their money’s worth.

Excellent service and organisation from start to finish. Had a great tour manager who couldn’t have done any more. Excellent choice of trips and hotels.

The Galapagos cruise was perfect and we were able to see all the animals.

Our tour guide *personal details removed by Feefo* was fantastic. He was well experienced and made everything run smoothly. He gave good advice, was very informative, extremely attentive when someone didn't feel well, and seemed omnipresent. He made a nice birthday celebration for one guest and a memorable anniversary party complete with champagne for my wife and I. The hotels were excellent as well. We also enjoyed the local tour guides. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed Peru the most especially the history, ancient ruins, and cuisine. However, guinea pig won't be high on our preferred menu list. Quito was also interesting. The Galapagos were a little below expectations, partly because it was the dry season.

This is an amazing building feat. Although our tour was very informative and long enough I could probably spend a lot more time on another occasion soaking it in.

We have traveled with collette 4 times and have always had 5 star experiences. This one had some disappointing parts. On a very positive note, our tour manager was wonderful, very personable, knowledgeable and fun. Concerns include the hotel in Cusco which was frightening, no heat, cold, less than desirable section of town. Surely there is a nicer hotel somewhere in Cusco. A major reason we choose Collette is the higher quality of travel and the smaller groups. For the first time on a tour, we did not know when the optional excursions occurred and none were explained in detail. We did find out about one and it was wonderful. The other 2 were filled before we even knew about them. The Galápagos Islands were very disappointing. The Legend naturalists and main staff were unprofessional and not helpful and very disorganized. When there was no activity planned, they threw in a panga ride which meant yet another rubber raft ride around an island. We were divided into smaller groups but our naturalist left behind more than half the group, never waiting for everyone. The 5 days at the Galapagos was awful! A half day trip to the zoo would have accomplished the same experience. The housekeeping staff and dining wait staff were wonderful though. I was very glad to leave The Legend and will not recommend that portion of the trip to anyone. We loved Peru and Ecuador and all the activities there. Collette should consider having the option of the Galápagos Islands as an add-on. Perhaps it's great for those who like to snorkel in cold water all day or hike through scrub brush looking for a bird, but many people our age do not want that for the price they pay. Our travel agent, *Personal Details removed by Feefo* was fabulous, meticulous, and deserves a 10+ rating!

Hated the Galápagos Islands and The Legend ship with unprofessional staff. This is the lowest rating I've ever given a Collette tour.

I'm always comfortable and confident with Collette's choices and managers. The tour manager (personal details removed by Feefo) on our Ecuador-Galapagos-Peru trip was exceptional. May well be the best ever in our 25 plus years of tourest travel.

The entire tour was grate mainly due to our tour guide (personal details removed by Feefo)....See the wonderful CDs provided as part of the tour by the Galapagos tour ship crew!

Every aspect was very well done. The excursions to the comfort of the beds on the ship and on the hotels. The tour manager went out of his way to show us the true Ecudor and Peru. Every thing was done very professionally. Our mix of tour people was excellent.

As above. I loved the blue footed boobies and all the animals, birds, fish etc. and the Inca people and much more.

I would recommend them to others Tours were well coordinated

Very informative and interesting Very part was Machu Picchu

The destinations were great, the experience great, a trip of a lifetime. The local guides and bus drivers were fantastic. Our Collette guide was not what we expected or had hoped for.

The tour was fun, educational, beautiful, hectic. Lunch with the local family in Peru was a highlight. Manchu Picchu is amazing, otherworldly. The Galapagos Islands were outstanding, especially the snorkeling, the flora and fauna.

We had a very full itinerary! There was a LOT of territory to cover so travel time, necessarily, took up a fair amount of time. The naturalists were all very knowledgeable and made our excursions fun. I was impressed with the coordination of the many various aspects of the tour.

Snorkeling with turtles and tropical fish in the Galapagos was superb...and riding the Peruvian horses was over the top! Great fun!
