点评:Overall we had a very positive experience with Richard and Taitalindo. He planned 3 weeks of our time in Peru and coordinated all the tours, transfers, hotels, etc. Every time we arrived at a new location there was someone there to meet us. We only had a few hiccups along the way, some of which were out of Richard's hands. The first is that we were supposed to have a break between doing the Inca Trail and our other activities to give us a chance to recover. It was originally scheduled this way but somehow needed to be changed due to Inca Trail ticketing so that we had our "break" first, and then 3 main activities in a row. This meant we could not enjoy the second and third activities to their fullest because we were so sore and tired from the Inca Trail. Second, we had an issue with a hotel in Cusco that refused to book us a single room. They gave us two rooms, both with a queen and a double in it that our family of 4 could easily fit in. That, and one room was on the 3rd floor and one was on the 1st floor. We weren't comfortable leaving our two young daughters by themselves on a different floor, especially when we could all fit in a single room. Richard tried to get the hotel to give us a refund for the room we didn't use but they wouldn't budge. Maybe Richard won't use that hotel in the future. Lastly there was a lot of confusion with the company that actually did the Inca Trail Tour. It was very stressful the day before trying to figure out what we needed to take, what was included or not, etc. In the end it was a smaller outfit and didn't have all the bells and whistles of other groups. Other tourists we spoke to, their company included the porters carrying the sleeping bags, the sleeping mats, and up to 5kg per person of personal items. None of that was included in our tour operator and we had to pay $150 USD more for an extra porter to carry what is normally included with other groups. However, once the logistics were out of the way, we were really pleased with the size of our group and our guide on the trail. We did quite a few guide tours in Sacred Valley, the Amazon, Rainbow Mountain and the Santa Cruz trail and in all situations, we were really pleased with the guides and the tours that were scheduled.
翻译:总体而言,我们与 Richard 和 Taitalindo 的合作非常愉快。他计划了我们在秘鲁的 3 周时间,并协调了所有的旅行、接送、酒店等。每次我们到达一个新地点时,都会有人在那里迎接我们。一路上我们只遇到了一些小问题,其中一些不在理查德的控制范围之内。首先是我们应该在进行印加古道和其他活动之间休息一下,让我们有机会恢复。它最初是这样安排的,但由于印加古道票务问题需要更改,以便我们先“休息”,然后连续进行 3 项主要活动。这意味着我们无法充分享受第二和第三项活动,因为我们在印加古道上感到非常酸痛和疲倦。其次,我们遇到了库斯科的一家酒店拒绝为我们预订单人间的问题。他们给了我们两个房间,两个房间都有一张大号床和一张双人床,我们一家四口可以轻松入住。那个,一个房间在三楼,一个在一楼。将两个年幼的女儿单独留在不同的楼层,我们感到很不自在,尤其是当我们都可以住在一个房间里时。理查德试图让酒店为我们没有使用的房间退款,但他们不会让步。也许理查德以后不会再入住那家旅馆了。最后,与实际进行印加古道之旅的公司有很多混淆。在试图弄清楚我们需要带什么,包括什么或不包括什么等等的前一天压力很大。最后它是一个较小的装备并且没有其他组的所有花里胡哨。我们采访过的其他游客,他们的公司包括搬运睡袋、睡垫和每人最多 5 公斤的个人物品的搬运工。这些都没有包含在我们的旅行社中,我们不得不多付 150 美元请一名额外的搬运工搬运通常包含在其他团体中的东西。然而,一旦后勤工作解决了,我们对我们团队的规模和我们的向导感到非常满意。我们在圣谷、亚马逊、彩虹山和圣克鲁斯步道进行了相当多的导游旅行,在所有情况下,我们都对导游和安排的旅行感到非常满意。
