Testimonials - Customized itineraries“ Mercedes, First, I need to apologize for not sending an email right after our trip. The people at Enigma are outstanding! Mercedes you communicated with my wife, Karen, and were very prompt and provided very useful information in your replies. We had a very positive impression of the Enigma organization from our contact with you. When we arrived in Cusco I felt Kathleen (unfortunately I may have her name wrong, Katlin?) met us at the airport and ensured we were registered in our hotel. She was available on her cell the whole time we were there and checked in with us to be sure everything was going well. I believe we could have made the trip without the benefit of knowing any Spanish because Karen and I had visited the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu a year earlier but Marisol’s explanations made it as if we had only seen pictures before. Because she was dedicated to our group of four, we were able to spend more time and ask questions about some items and adjust our schedule accordingly. I have given your name and email address to Mr and Mrs Ron Witko of Emmaus PA who would like to visit Machu Picchu with another couple. Please share this email with the owner of your company. You each did anything you could to make our trip a fabulous experience. It was so much better because we were in the hands of Enigma. ”
Edward Lehr/ USA “ Dear Mercedes, It is only now that I can get my thoughts together after a journey of a lifetime. We would like to thank Enigma for their professionalism and efficient organization. Thank you Mercedes for making the trip fun, relaxed, and memorable. Our thanks go out to Cristobal, Elbin, Eosca, and the two gentleman in Puno (one took us to Uros / Taquile Islands and the other to Sillustani ) for their expert guidance, but more important for their friendship. Hilario (Chef Inca Trail), I am coming back just for the excellent meals. Peru is a lovely country and hope to return in the future. Muchas gracias!. ”
Aubrey Masilela/ USA “ Hi Mercedes, I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic time we had in Peru. We loved every minute and all the staff from Enigma was wonderful. The Inca trail was beautiful and Edgar our guide very knowledgeable and fun. Pancho did a brilliant job on the meals!! Everyone we came in contact with from your company was delightful and very punctual with pick up times. We will not hesitate to recommend your services to any friends. Thank you again for a wonderful trip. ”
Katrina Luxton/ USA “ Mercedes, In case I didn’t tell you…… I just wanted you to know that Sheila and our driver were the best ever! My sister Cari Gilliland, my husband and I had wonderful tours and you made our trip to Peru great the end of July! Thanks again! ”
Amy Koenigsfeld/ USA “ Mercedes, Nancy and I want to thank you for the fine trip that you put together for us. Everything was perfect. Highlights included the Seminario ceramic visit, Cusco, the lunches at Tunupa and Huacatay, and, of course, the ruins. Nice hotels, particularly the Casa Andina stays. And our guide Franklin was wonderful. In fact, do you have an e-mail address for Franklin? We'd like to send him a thank you note. We will definitely recommend Enigma Travel to our friends -- and particularly Mercedes Escobar. ”
Steven Falk & Nancy Falk/ USA “ Estimada Mercedes, Muchisimas gracias por su atencion y todos los arreglos hechos por ustedes para hacer nuestros turismos a Cusco y Machupichu tan hermoso y memorable. Nosotros pasamos algunos dias muy lindos con nuestros amigos en Lima y regresamos a EEUU sin ninguna dificultad. ”
Shree y Nirmala Singh/ USA “ Hola, Mercedes! We are now back in Montreal, Canada and I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our Peruvian experience in every way. Our connections with Enigma were perfect and the guides were all so professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. I would especially like to thank Hernan and Edith for their guidance and care during the Inca Trail (I will never forget how we had to squeeze that 4-day hike into 3 days because of the farmer's strike and the problems with the buses!), and also Hebert in Puerto Maldonado, who did a fantastic job in helping us to understand the culture, wildlife and plants in the jungle. We loved the people of Peru, the food and the culture. You did a wonderful job in helping us get organized. I will recommend Engima to anyone we know who wants to make that kind of trip. Thanks for everything you have done for us. ”
Lori Rubin and Martin Wise/ USA “ Mercedes, I just wanted to let you know that we had a great time with Edgar and our trip to Cuzco. I don't think I spent enough time in the evaluation form writing about what a great job Edgar did, so I just wanted to let you know that he was wonderful. He did a great job offering personal touches such as the stop by the llama farm. He was also a great listener, and heard of our interest in a silver workshop and offered to take us there on our last day. Both of these things were real highlights for us, and that type of personalization really did make this a great trip (And also his English is great). He is highly recommended and I will suggest any friends who plan to take a trip down there ask specifically for him! ”
Amanda Stevenson Greene/ USA “ Dear Mercedes and Silvia, We wanted to close off our trip to Peru with an enormous thank you to all the staff at Enigma. Your planning and recommendations made for a fabulous holiday for our family! It will be a vacation that will hold many memories for us all. We appreciated your thoughtfulness in planning the holiday so we could acclimatize to the increases in altitude. By the time we were doing the HuchuiQosco hike, we felt more or less used to the altitude. Your guides (Maribel, Edgar, Ronald, Franklin and Miguel) were delightful, knowledgeable and passionate about their country and culture. We felt we really got to see and learn about your country. All the drivers were friendly and considerate. The planned lunches were delightful, including all the boxed lunches! We were thrilled with all of our activities - the rafting company was terrific. Our day of biking with Juan Carlos was definitely a highlight!! We also appreciated the flexibility you showed in accommodating the change we made to our itinerary – it was the right decision and we were very happy with how the alternate plan turned out. I hope I haven’t missed anyone or anything in this short note. Congratulations to your whole team and especially to the two of you! We will not hesitate to contact you again or to recommend you to our friends! Thank you again and warm regards. ”
Karen, Barry, Julianne and Stephanie/ USA “ Mercedes, Let me add my endorsement to Amanda's. We couldn't have had a better guide than Edgar. Also, overall, we were very pleased with the whole trip. Thanks to you and your colleagues for doing such a fine job for us. ”
Russel Stevenson/ USA “ I want to Thank Mercedes so much for such a wonderful trip. We had a great time. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous country with us. Your country and people are beautiful. Say thanks to Alberto also! ”
Gita Ramaswamy/ USA “ Hi Mercedes, I just wanted to tell you thank you for all your help. We had an amazing trip!! Please also tell Eric and Edith that we really enjoyed them. They really helped to make the experience wonderful (and bearable - I needed lots of help!) ”
Megha Ramaswamy/ USA “We could not have asked for a better guide for our group than Hernan Hermoza. He was totally knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, and also very accommodating and comfortable t be with. He anticipated our every need. He was able to answer all our wide-ranging questions. Hernán was very resourceful and flexible. He worked well with our family group, which ranged in age from eleven to 71. He did not push those of us on the upper and lower ends of the age spectrum, yet did not hesitate to accompany the 25-year-old member of our group on a very challenging hike at Machu Picchu. He was there with a remedy when one of the younger members of our party fell ill in a bus. We spent four full days withy Hernán and by the end of this time, we felt he was as much a friend as a guide.” The Clark / Kaplan / Schewel
Group “We both thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful, educational and exciting week you provided for us. You presented the nature and culture of Peru in a way that made us feel fortunate to share this with you. Best of luck in all your future endeavors.” Nancy and Elliot
Merberg / USA “I had a wonderful experience, thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, from the planning with Malu to the execution with Hernán. Thank you Malú for planning a great 3 weeks experience in Peru.” Geoff and Renai
Venables / Australia “The full trip was very well organized and we did not worry about anything (like hotel or transportation). Excellent job, thank you again.” Christophe Tomas and Magali Amoroso / France |
