While searching online for a travel agency on our Peru trip, Peru for less caught my attention with…read moretheir user and eye friendly text/graphics used in their website. Indeed, on how they managed well of their website, their service on-ground and online exceeded! The tours and guides speaks and understands English well, they were able to give great recommendations and educations to us about pertinent history needed. 2. The hotels were absolutely a great choice, even though we stayed at a budget hotel, it felt like it was not one. 3. Working with Selene as a travel advisor is a truly a wonderful personal experience, even though I didn't met her personally, it felt like she cared so much and that she response as soon as she could with great recommendations and timely information dissemination. Soon, when we get back I/we would personally look for Selene to be our Advisor. 4. I/we would definitely recommend Peru For Less! With a rating of 100/10! Everything was so smooth and coordinated. It really felt like a vacation for us. We didn't have to worry about anything as long as you follow their instructions. I as a truly elated customer would personally promote this company for the experience that we had.

Recently returned from an approx two-week trip to Peru (Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Lima [again],…read moreNazca, Paracas) organized by Peru for Less. I'd done a cruise before, but had never worked with a tour company---have always been an independent traveler abroad. But for this trip, since we were traveling with a kid to a place we'd never been and had limited knowledge of---and were traveling with another family too---it seemed like a good option. Silvia was lovely to work with, as was the rest of the PfL staff as we organized our trip. The trip had a lot of moving parts, and we had a lot of questions and edits and ideas, and everything came together beautifully. The trip itself (once we got there!---the airlines were problematic but that's not at all PfL's fault!) was absolutely seamless---I mean it. At the appointed times, we'd walk to our hotel lobbies and the tour vans were always either waiting or arriving a moment later, right on time. We never once had to wait or worry. Our private tour guides were outstanding---knowledgeable, friendly (I mean, to the point of buying us local snacks!), charming with our kids, and spoke English better than most Americans do. Special shout-outs to Fabricio (in the Sacred Valley and again in Cusco), Peter (at Machu Picchu) and David (for the food tour in Lima). (Also our guide to the water-light show in Lima, but I'm afraid I've lost his name.) Hiroshi at Inkaterra was also great. Airport transfers were a breeze, hotel check-ins were simple... As far as PfL's arrangements went, I don't think we encountered a single problem. Professional and exacting. Thank you!

If you read nothing else I write, read this. Hiring a travel agent is FREE! No scams or gimmicks or…read moreupgrades. Why wouldn't you at the very least call and speak to one. Having a travel agent isn't just a luxury. It's the smartest thing you can do for yourself and your trip. My personal experience: Skip helped us put together a FABULOUS dream vacation to Italy for our 10 year anniversary. From the first phone call to start planning to the day we got home everything went smoothly. He was always quick to respond, personal and worked with the budget we gave him. I'm a wedding and event planner so I'm a very detailed person and used to planning our small family trips but there are so many things to consider for your first international flight. Getting our passports, knowing which airports to fly in and out of, how long of a layover is enough time, how to travel between cities, setting up tours in a city where you don't speak the language, what to do when you're there. Skip sat down with us before we left to go over our itinerary and each activity along the way. Could I have planned this trip by myself? Maybe. But knowing the ins and outs of traveling is what he is an expert in and he can save you time and so much stress along the way. For example: Passports: We were going to just go to the post office to get our passport. When I told Skip our plan he stopped me and suggested a few passport services. As he pointed out, the post office is a government agency. Enough said. They can move slow. They can lose mail. Maybe it's not common but do you really want to take the chance of a single delay and you missing your trip? We took our applications to one of the recommended offices and they immediately caught an error on our form. Had we taken it to the post office, they would have never noticed the error and our application would have been returned and delayed getting our passport. Traveling: When I questioned the long layover there and back Skip advised me that I would need the time to get through customs. Boy was he right! We were never rushed but had it been up to me and I had moved the flights to what I thought were best, we would have missed our flights. Experienced travel agents know what to expect, are familiar with different airports and airlines. Have you ever booked a flight or hotel with an online discount company only to have an issue arise? You are at the mercy of someone on the other end of the line after waiting to get through to customer service and that doesn't guarantee the issue is resolved. $$$ and time wasted. Once we were in Italy, Skip had arranged for concierge services from the moment we grabbed our luggage. We had private drivers and even a private boat that took us from the airport to our hotel. No waiting in line for taxis. No fumbling for directions. We were treated like VIPs from the minute we touched down in Italy until we left. Skip arranged for private tours for the sights we most wanted to see. We avoided lines that wrapped around the block just to get in and were escorted through each area with an informative tour guide. Made the experience so much nicer and allowed us to have the rest of the day to do what we wanted. We visited three cities in total and used the train to travel between them. Skip had an agent waiting for us at the hotel each time who not only got us to the train station but also walked us through the station to our seat so we knew exactly what to do and how to travel. Then when we got off the train our driver was waiting for us to take us to the next hotel. Could you figure it out on your own? Possibly. But again, why have that added stress if you don't speak the language or understand what to do. While on one of our train rides, we watched a young girl get on only to later argue with the conductor, cry and ultimately have to move because of an issue with her ticket. Misunderstandings happen. But a travel agent knows how to guide you through all of that. Our second stop could have been a disaster when we got out of our car and went to check-in to the hotel. Only after having been there for about 5 minutes we realized we had left a bag in the car that had just dropped us off. The bag had all our electronics and most importantly, our passports. I calmly reached into the suitcase and pulled out the 2nd copy of our itinerary Skip had put together for us before we left. I called the number for the car service and within minutes they returned with our bag untouched. That small lapse in judgment could have been a nightmare had we taken a city taxi. We saw some of the most amazing pieces of history, immersed ourselves in the culture, ate some of the best foods and had such a relaxing experience the whole time. Truly it was a dream vacation and one we will never forget and we have Skip to think for that. I have no reservations in recommending him to my clients and brides and using him for every trip in the future!

A few months ago I booked rooms for the Miami Grand Prix through the official F1 website and was…read moredirected to Quintrooms. I booked the rooms under the impression I would have access to pre-sale tickets for the event. Before the pre-sale started, I was emailed and told there were no tickets available. I even waited two months to see if something would change. Absolutely no communication occurred. As you can imagine, evebrusllu this made the entire trip pointless. When canceling I was told I have to pay an administrative fee. However, I asked why I would have to pay a fee when I am not able to attend the event through no fault of my own? Especially when this was all done through the official sponsors and their partners. Seems rather devious and makes me question the integrity of this organization, F1, the associated promoters and the hotel group. So far, Quintrooms has not been helpful in reclaiming a full refund. They only blame their partners and insist that everything is out of their control. I wouldn't ever book hotels if this corrupt organization is involved, go direct. And for hotels and event promoters, stay away from working with this organization. They seem to enjoy throwing their partners under the bus.
