Testimonials from our Travelers

"Lana Byal, my trip planner, connected with me on our very first call and never dropped one detail in creating the most perfect trip for my daughter, grand daughter and myself that I could ever imagine. She knew exactly what I was after and arranged every last detail for me perfectly. I was able to call her with some on-the-fly changes to the itinerary and she and her staff were ON it immediately! All this, and somehow we wound up with the best guide and driver you could ever ask for...and seeings how we spent nine days together, we were fortunate beyond belief. Kudos to Elevate Destinations!"

“The trip was phenomenal, the guides were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and great with the kids, the people were warm and welcoming, the hotels were great. Via Ferrate and the zip line was a highlight for the kids; I loved the "social experience" in the mountains, and the high activity level of the entire trip. We really felt like we got to understand the people and the culture.”

— Betsy Fishbone, Peru

“It was an amazing adventure! Although walking the Inca trail was difficult and challenging, being able to say "we did it", was quite rewarding. We stayed at some beautiful places and we were treated so well everywhere we went. I would also say that our tour guides "in country" were great! In particular, we had a great bond with Yuri in the Sacred Valley and Christian in the Galapagos. They were friendly, informative and wanted to make the trip what WE wanted it to be.”
