Llama Travel Recensioni 

An excellent holiday.We would recommend Llama Travel to anyone going on holiday to South or Latin America.We were able to choose the elements we wanted,choose our flights(in our case KLM from our local airport Leeds Bradford via Amsterdam( Schiphol) avoiding travelling to Heathrow) and in small groups throughout the holiday. Condor travel, the Peruvian company supporting Llama, were very efficient.All of the luggage arrived on time and there were no problems.The guides on the tours and transfers were pleasant,helpful and well -informed with impressive language skills. We had no complaints about any of the hotels.We upgraded only once but all of the hotels were of a very good standard. The memories of Peru,the wonderful landscape,and warmth of the people will remain with us for ever. If you are thinking of going to Peru go for it.You won't regret it. Llama will help you organise the holiday you want.

From booking, where I was able to tailor my holiday to my needs and not restricted to a set itinerary, to the logistical organisation of getting a number of travellers to a variety of destinations I cannot fault anything (excellent service from the local company Condor Travel). I'd highly recommend walking the Inca Trail into Machu Picchu (a magical experience) and one I will remember for a long time, just be prepared for a hard days walking. The guides and transport drivers were knowledgeable, friendly and great fun. I will definitely be booking any future trips to South America through Llama Travel and I'd highly recommend them to anyone thinking of going to that part of the world.

Travelled with Llama a few years ago to Ecuador and the Galapagos, choosing them because of value for money and the size of boat for the Galapagos trip. Our experience there meant that, when we decided to go to Costa Rica, we did look at a couple of other providers, but did not take long to decide to travel with Llama again. First, they are excellent value for money. The hotels and accommodation were all good to excellent quality. The service is really excellent from the time of telephoning to ask for advice about a trip before booking, to the the booking process, the information available in advance and the superb service whilst in the country. Guides are knowledgeable, professional and friendly (in Costa Rica, provided via Swiss Travel in association with Llama). Transport was comfortable. We were in a nice sized group (11 people) that fitted into a single minibus, with a delightful and safe driver. After our first holiday with Llama, I recommended the company to a friend of a friend, who then booked the exact trip we had done and also was impressed. As another reviewer commented, we weren't offered a direct flight to Costa Rica and understood that the BA flights hadn't yet started, but I'm not sure whether this was the case. I would definitely want to fly direct another time, because the transfer within the US is very time-consuming - a three hour transit time disappears quite quickly when you are in a long immigration queue and can be quite stressful. We transited through Newark on the way out (where we had to collect and recheck your luggage) and Houston on the way back (where we didn't). Be aware that if you want to eat at Newark, every eaterie runs by self-order menus on iPads at the table and it takes ages. We nearly missed out flight because we thought we were eating right next to it but it changed and it was only through a kind airport driver that we made it to the furthest end of the airport on time. So, if you can avoid a US transfer, for many reasons, do! Costa Rica is a wonderful country and Llama made our experience there wonderful.

Llama travel was helpful and readily available throughout the arrangement process, which was rather tricky because our various adult family members all had different requirements One couple eventually had to drop out for personal reasons, despite Llama being very accommodating in making the changes they wanted. Apologies to Llama for us being such difficult customers.

When we got to Costa Rica everything went faultlessly except for the interface between two local agents where the transfer from one to the other, involving two buses being in the right place simultaneously, resulted in a delay as one bus went to the wrong place for the pickup. I should say that the hotels, the tours and the guides were all great, and just as we expected (we had been to Costa Rica before and liked it so much we went back with the family).

So why only four stars? That was down to the flights which were were routed through Houston Texas with United, when direct flights with Thompson had become available a few months before we flew. Routing through the US, with the need to go through full immigration and security, is always a risk, and weather related delay on our inward flight to Houston on the way home meant we were within ten minutes of missing our trans-Atlantic flight, which was very stressful.

We had a great holiday and would definitely go again with Llama - but we do recommend a direct flight whenever possible.

It was our first holiday with Llama Travel and I can't praise them enough!! Our holiday was well organised from start to finish!! Llama Travel were always at the end of the telephone to answer any of our queries. The hotels chosen by Llama Travel were excellent and all in a central location. Llama Travel even changed one of our hotels before our holiday began as customers were not rating the hotel, this to me shows how much Llama Travel listen to their customers and how much satisfying their customers is important to them. I would not hesitate to book with Llama Travel again!!
Thank you for making our first trip to South America most memorable and here's to our next trip to South America with Llama Travel.

It was our first holiday with Llama Travel and I can't praise them enough. From pick up at the airport to return to airport the service was amazing. Our guide In Ecuador was very knowledgeable, kind and considerate, the transport was first class and very comfortable. For the Galápagos cruise we were on the La Pinta where once again the staff, guides and accomadation were fantastic. The cabins are very roomy with comfortable bed, plenty of hot water for the shower and excellent food. At the end of our eight day cruise we then stayed for three nights at the Finch Bay hotel on Santa Cruz, where we chilled out by the pool...perfect! This holiday exceeded our expectations and would recommend it to anyone. We will have no hesitation in using Llama Travel again.

Recently enjoyed a guided tour of costa rica booked with Llama travel.
The organisation was faultless.The transportation,hotels and tours all excellent.We saw many beautiful and interesting landscapes and so much wildlife.Met a great bunch of people and the guides were fantastic.This was truly a holiday of a lifetime,

First trip to South America and made the right choice by booking the trip with Llama Travel. The Incas & Conquistador tour was the perfect introduction to Peru. The chance to group some excursions together to save a bit was a good idea. Good choice of hotels in the different cities. Well worth upgrading to the higher class ones. Brilliant, informative guides brought the trips to life. We were lucky to have our time in Cusco coincide with the annual festival time. This put the icing on the cake but the trip still had many highlights on top of that. Thank you Llama Travel for an unforgettable experience in Peru. Thoroughly recommended.

From the very beginning Llama Travel kept us up to date on our planned Inca Trail and all associated flights, hotel bookings and excursions.
Throughout our holiday their associates in Peru [CondorTravel] were excellent with knowledgeable guides for day trips and a thoroughly prepared and completed 4 day Inca Trail.
The holiday featured Lima hotels and excursion, Cusco hotel [before and after the trail] plus excursions, The 4 day Inca Trail with magnificent porters and guides and finally a relaxing time in Paracas, with transfers to and from Lima on 'Cruz Del Sur' plus two excursions. Timekeeping for every aspect of the arangements was spot on. Ride a Llama - you won't be disappointed.

I travelled alone on to Peru with Llama Travel visiting the jungle, Cusco and Lake Titicaca. The service was amazing guides were very knowledgeable and friendly and the transport and hotels were all excellent. Everything was well organised and although I was on my own I always felt safe and included within the group I travelled with. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone thinking about travelling to South America.

What an amazing trip!
We found Llama via the web and so glad we did. They were so, professional, reliable and accommodating that our plans were quickly settled and we booked straight away. So very glad we did.
The trip.took us to Buenos Aires, the falls and Rio, plus we took a side trip to Uruguay (highly recommended). We had guides when we needed them but it was so good to organise some things ourselves, we loved the flexibility. Everything worked so smoothly and there were far too many highlights to list them here.

Thank you Llama, great service and great value: we shall be booking again.

We have travelled widely but never to South America and wanted good advice and good organisation for a special trip to include the Galapagos and Machu Picchu. We found Llama Travel online and were impressed by their customer feedback so made some enquiries and ended up with a superb tailor-made visit of three weeks. We found the Llama Travel staff, expert, efficient, helpful and patient, with a great problem-solving approach when the Galapagos boat we initially hoped to travel on was not available. The cost was significantly below the quotation from the big agent we often use. All the arrangements worked brilliantly, local reps all of high standard and appreciative of Llama custom, and we had a marvellous trip, surpassing our highest expectations.

Booked with Llama Travel twice - first time to Puru and, more recently Ecuador and the Galapagos islands. Both good value and well organised with great reps and tour guides while there. Llama will do their best to organise exactly what you want from the holiday outside the parameters of their brochure, you just need to ask the question (that makes us sound quite demanding-it was just a tweak-but they're clearly used to adjusting schedules where they can). Would definitely use them again.

Peru is a beautiful destination with world class sights like Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Uros Islands. If the sights and colours don't leave you breathless, the atmosphere (or lack of it in the mountains) certainly will! This was a well organised holiday with highly capable tour guides. There was plenty of time to explore and follow your own interests. Cusco in particular was a fantastic city to look around and even after a week there we were finding new experiences to enjoy. The food everywhere was varied and excellent, try the fish! Take it easy for the first day or two when you first arrive at high altitude. I was OK but my 15yr old son suffered from headaches for the first two days.
