The Great South American Journey: Quito to Rio Adventure
The Great South American Journey: Quito to Rio AdventureThis is the best G adventures tour I have done in terms of itinerary and people I was traveling with. I had a fantastic time with a great group of people. The only feedback I will give G is I feel the CEO guides are pressured to get 9s or 10s in their reviews and hence transmit that to us which made me not leave a review on the G website as I felt I could not be completely honest without harming the tour guides' rating. This culture should change if you want constructive feedback. I loved all 4 of my CEOs on my tour but 2 of them were outstanding (10/10s) and I felt as a result of above, I could not give them the credit they were due without causing harm to the other 2 who were also good but more 7/10s.

PERU EXPRESS - 10 days (Lima- Cusco & Puno) with Domestic Flights
PERU EXPRESS - 10 days (Lima- Cusco & Puno) with Domestic FlightsThe 10 day tour was exhausting but fun! Leoned kept in constant daily touch with updates and information on Whatsapp, which was very helpful. The 10 days express tour packs in a lot of early morning (4am) travel to high altitudes including the hikes to Humantay Lake and Rainbow Mountain. I had a lot of altitude sickness but thankfully the guides on each tour were super helpful in making it easier for me and letting me take my own time. They also helped facilitate alternates to the hike such as taking a horse or bike when I was too sick to do the 1-1.5 hr hikes. The transportation was mostly comfortable, but some of it was a bit too cramped, especially for those 8-10hr round trips. I am average height but had to occasionally sit sideways for hours as the seats didn't have enough space. This wasn't always possible as sometimes all the seats were filled up in the tourist van. We also did have incidents where the taxi was late for a pick up or drop and I had to follow up with Leoned as we would have missed our bus or were waiting for our pick up for over 30mins. However, when you travel, such things are to be expected occasionally and so I still think it was worth it. Overall it was a great trip inspite of some inconveniences, I am glad I went with Waman adventures on this one!

From Buenos Aires to La Paz via Uyuni (15 Nights)
From Buenos Aires to La Paz via Uyuni (15 Nights)This tour was excellent. I would give it 9.5 out of 10 for planning and 9 out of 10 for execution. Value for money was better than 10 out of 10. I have some comments to help you improve your services. Your tour schedule either printed without the RH side if done in letter format, or without the bottom bit if done in landscape. Once the tourist has booked the trip, they do not need all the pictures and marketing guff: dump it, in favour of a more readable itinerary. The tourist needs to know what happens when. Full details of place and time are needed. A tour should indicate not only what time it starts, but also how long it is and what else is necessary. For example you included generic statement that park fees were the tourist's responsibility, but he main Bolivia park fee was incorrect, and there were 2 other park fees that had to be paid which were a surprise. The tourist needs to plan their currency availability. they need to know exactly which days they cross borders, for example. Being picked up in BA is very good, especially as the tourist arrive without A pesos. If the tourist needs to go from bus station to accommodation or accommodation to bus station, then they need to know, how to get there, approx cost of taxi etc, and how to ask for it. Several tours arrive late, I guess that is South America. One day our tour did not arrive atall, but we were rebooked for the following day. No worries. We had booked a private room. The accommodation in the Bolivia Park did not have a private room, unless it had a private bathroom (which we had not contracted for), so they charged us about $30 extra. I have no real problem with paying that and I am not asking for anything from you, but if a private room is not available, you should not promise it. :) The accommodation in BA and the Selina hostals was excellent. Please ensure that all guides are english speaking: most were but our excellent drive in Bolivia was Spanish only. :( Leaving us at midday in Uyuni to wait for a 9:30 bus was a pain in the arse. Overall, well done, we will definitely consider using tourradar again. John Parkinson
