					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.twofatbellies.com/2010/11/peru-day-4-colca-valley/comment-page-1/#comment-306&quot;&gt;Lily&lt;/a&gt;.

We used a travel agent friend of ours in the US to book our trip and she arranged all of our tours with Condor Travel: http://www.condortravel.com/.   They were ok overall, though there were some hiccups at the end of our trip (they forgot to pick us up at an airport in Puno).  They did seem to be a pretty popular company, with lots of guests in each city.  The hotels they chose were just ok.  For me, the main issue was that they were way too tourist focused.  i.e. We couldn&#039;t get a straight answer when we asked where the locals would dine.  There were really nice aspects though too:  We did not have a tour group that we traveled with though in many cities we met up with other travelers for city tours, MP tour etc.  There were no arranged meals (which we preferred).  Overall our trip was amazing, though that&#039;s probably mostly because Peru is just an amazing place :-)
  
  After we returned from our trip, a friend of ours started his own tourism company in Peru.  We&#039;ve recommended it to several people (instead of Condor) and the reviews have been amazing.  His name is Dave Rottblatt and his company is SA Luxury Expeditions: http://www.saluxuryexpeditions.com.  Shoot him an email and let him know you&#039;re readers of our blog.  He&#039;s super nice and will answer any questions you have about going to Peru (he currently lives there).]]></description>
