Thank you for putting together and providing us with an absolutely amazing time in Peru.  The pictures I have in my head are still like WOW and I can’t stop grinning and smiling whenever I get asked how it went – sure they can’t stop me talking about all I saw and experienced, it really was brilliant. I know you and Kieran planned and worked on the itinerary together but the input from you and your ground staff was invaluable and that is what made the holiday so incredible. You have a great guy in Percy, who together with William and Benjamin, ensured that the whole group made it to every site, whilst giving us a wonderful insight into the local history and the people of Peru and never letting us feel that we were a pain.  I felt privileged to hear them tell me about their lives, their families and their beautiful country.  When Percy took my down to the Winay Wayna Inka site, I thought I would cry – my mobile camera was never going to capture what I was seeing!  Then we got to the Sun Gate at Macchu Pichu and I knew I had lost it, I am never going to be able to explain how I felt at that moment to anybody.  I am going to get myself a book on the history of Peru, however, in respect to William I will make sure it is not by Hiram Bingham!   Also, I will always remember the Porters and the Chefs – their amazing strength, endurance and always with a smile will stay with me forever.   The delicious food provided every single day was amazing especially when I saw what they had to work with – I take my hat off to them.
