A fabulous trip made possible by a wonderful travel service
I generally like to do all of my own travel planning and therefore have never used a travel service. I am also not a fan of large travel groups so Kuoda appealed to me by offering personalized, private tours. The staff at Kuoda were great from start to finish. Jesus our online trip planner worked with our budget and our request to have free days in between tour days. Most importantly, he patiently answered my questions when things in the itinerary seemed odd to me (packing bags for an overnight stay with the luggage going on ahead, how to get from the hotel to the train). I am a bit of a control freak so trusting someone else to get things right does not come easy for me but they met and exceeeded my expectations. Jason met us at the airport in Cusco (and in two other locations) with a clearly labeled sign and turned us over to our driver, Jon and our guide, Edward. Both handled their jobs with professionalism and expertise, it was a pleasure to spend time with them. Edward is very knowledgeable about the region and its sights and was open to questions - it was very easy to talk to him. Jon navigated the challenging roads with ease. Mery met us at the airport on our final day, thanked us for our business, gave us warm hugs and a beautiful gift to use to remember our trip. When we plan a trip to the Galapagos Islands, we will definitely use Kuoda again!
