Testimonials

A big thank you to my BDM Marc for setting this up and the awesome support from Erin and the whole Eco-America Staff.

My clients just returned from Peru and could not say more about the experience they had. Marc, you knocked it out of the park. Thank-you.

I have to say that I liked the Arenal Springs resort a little better, since it had bigger rooms and an outdoor jacuzzi tub. The vibe in Tamarindo was pretty relaxed and it was easy to walk around on the beach and find a few places for Happy Hour. There were no issues with transfers to/from the airport, any of the excursions, and the covid test at the airport. Things went very smoothly. The open bar during the sunset and snorkeling tour was a nice surprise. One of the guides on the waterfall/horseback tour was taking GoPro pics and video while we were on that, and then sent a link later. Nice touch! –Raf

My twin and I were overjoyed with every part of our Costa Rica Adventure! Thinking of the unique hotels, fantastic guides,  fun activities, yummy food and the incredible weather, I have to say we both want to return to Costa Rica again very soon! Thank you very much!

Thank you for all the work you did. Trip was smooth, guides were amazing.  The driver from airport to MA was the same driver we had last January from Arenal to MA! He was the best. Rafting guides were amazing too; [although] the water was low, they made the rafting a blast! We highly recommend the trip to Corcovado National Park. We also went to Manuel Antonio National park which was much more touristy but still a good option for someone that doesn’t want to make the long trip to Corcovado. We were also really impressed with all of the guides knowledge of the environment/eco system/their country!

We had arranged a full-day tour of Valparaiso, Santiago and an airport drop off with our travel agent, to be picked up at the cruise port terminal in San Antonio Port, Chile; BUT our ship had to divert to Valparaiso early the day of the tour and ship debarkation. Tour guide Paulina and her driver, Sergio, had to drive extra miles and wait for hours for us to be able to get off our cruise ship and start our tour. They were gracious and flexible and created a lovely tour of Valparaiso (walking through areas of street art), and quick drive by of Vina Del Mar, a lovely visit to Veramonte Winery and a quick drive through tour of Santiago with a timely drop-off at the airport for our evening flight. Both Paulina and Sergio added a lot of interesting commentary on the sights, the local culture and humorous asides about foods, wines, etc. We have a wonderful day despite the early-morning problems with our ship debarkation. I would highly recommend EcoAmerica and Paulina and Sergio. They know the area; they were kind and helpful and made our short time in the Santiago area fun and rich.

Everything was perfect, like clockwork, by far the most amazing vacation I have ever had, you will be hearing from me again!

I wanted to let you know that Matt and Tiffany had an amazing time on their Belize trip and here is their feedback below. Thanks for your help with this!!

We had a wonderful time and truly appreciate all your help. Services were perfect, tour guides and transportation were very good. Mystic River Resort in the jungles of San Ignacio was incredible, the service was excellent. They coordinated all of our activities and made sure we enjoyed our time there. The Victoria House Resort in Ambergris Caye was very nice too.

We loved all the excursions. The guides were great and The Turtle Inn Beachfront Resort in Placencia was extraordinary. Thank You Barbara and Thank You EcoAmerica Tours for putting together a wonderful, beach family vacation.

Our trip was amazing! You did a great job. All of the drivers were on time. The hotels were nice. Our guides were very knowledgeable. Oliver was exceptionally great!  The food where he took us for lunch was very very good. I have only good things to say.  Your attention to detail was much appreciated!

I am very thankful for the efforts you are taking to get my camera back to me. I took so many beautiful photos and don’t want to lose them.

Gracias!

My clients just returned from Costa Rica and they had nothing but good things to say. Marc at the EcoAmerica sales office listened to their wishes and he put together a perfect trip! They loved the adventure of flying in to Drake Bay and their jungle experience in the wilderness of the Corcovado National Park. The Águila de Osa Jungle lodge was great, the guides were knowledgeable and so friendly. Everything went off without a hitch.

Thank you EcoAmerica for another satisfied client!

Our clients, the R family just returned from their  Peru vacation, they were very pleased with all the travel arrangements and they said their trip coordination was spectacular.  Thank you very much once more since we always know our clients are in very good hands with EcoAmerica Tours.

I just wanted to let you know that our trip to the Galapagos was amazing. The best trip we’ve ever taken! I want to thank you for all your help in planning and booking it all. We loved the Tip Top II. They provided such excellent service, the food was excellent and the boat was lovely. I cannot imagine that a better guide exists than our guide Eduardo. It was the trip of a lifetime for us all.

Hello EcoAmerica Tours Team; Just wanted to say thank you very much for a job well done. My clients came to see me today, they said everything worked as planned. They had wonderful guides, very knowledgeable, courteous, and polite. Hotels were great. They enjoyed the trip immensely. Take care.

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know what a fabulous time our family  had in Costa Rica! Each day was planned perfectly. Our driver (Homer) was amazing and all of the guides for the excursions and adventures were kind, funny, and very knowledgeable. I will highly recommend your company for friends  who wish to travel to Costa Rica in the future.

Thank you!

Just wanted to pop a note to you and all the staff at EcoAmerica Tours. My clients  just returned from Costa Rica – they had a fantastic time! Jeff said the tours and guides were top notch. He said many of the guides had spotting scopes and they were somehow able to take pictures through the scopes – guess they got some great photographs! All accommodations were great and the staff was very friendly and helpful.  Weather was great too.

Thanks again to everyone at the EcoAmerica Tours Team!

I want to send a huge “THANK YOU” to you and your team for one of the best (if not the best) group trips I have had the pleasure of escorting. From the point of first contact with EcoAmerica Tours to the groups return home, there are not enough words to express my sincere gratitude in all that you and your team made possible during our trip to Peru.

From the hotels and their locations to the tours and Guides as well as the motor coach transportation timing and drivers, my group loved every minute of the trip. To pull this off so well, is no small feat and my group of travelers had every expectation met and exceeded.

Peru is a very beautiful country with so much rich history and culture and we did not want to miss any of it…AND WE DIDN’T due to your efforts!!!!

I can whole heartily recommend EcoAmerica tours to anyone without hesitation. Your attitudes, friendliness and knowledge make you all truly amazing.

Thanks again for such an unforgettable journey and I wish much continued success

My clients sent me some beautiful photos from their Costa Rica trip and mentioned one of your drivers so I wanted to make sure you and him got credit for a job well done on this trip. Thank you again for a great job helping me with these clients!
This is what Mrs. N sent me: “We really couldn’t have been happier with all the resorts! Costa Rica is filled with so much natural beauty all around you! Homer was our driver 3 times during our trip & he was fantastic! By the time we left, we felt like we were leaving a very close friend. Thanks so much for all your help with this very memorable vacation.”

My clients  were most delighted with their trip. My sincere thanks for making the vacation a memorable one. You are the best. Below is their grateful review:

“I am sending this letter with our sincere thanks on behalf of all four of us whom you recently helped organize the Panama and Colombia trip.   Marcelo and his team along with your assistance did a wonderful job in the preparation of all the details related to this tour. In each country the people who greeted us at airports and organized our tours  were really fantastic ,on time, organized and very helpful. Maria in Panama, Victoria and Janice in Cartagena and Patricia in Bogota all gave us superb service. They all spoke English very well, they were very knowledgeable of their country and its history, culture, etc.   All the tours we signed up for turned out to be very good and we enjoyed all of them.  We are all very experienced travelers, and we are very selective in our comments when it comes to providing feedback. We have all been on many tours and with many guides over the years of our travel. We felt very safe and comfortable in all cases and the ability to have one on one time with the guides to ask questions and go at our own pace really made our experience even better. Please be sure to let Ecoamerica Tours know that they have four very happy clients. Thank you Cheryl for helping make this all happen, too. We couldn’t have done it without  you!”

First impressions are lasting impressions and that is what EcoAmerica Tours is all about. I began planning for my group of 20 people with Marcelo and Erin over a year before we traveled. Each step along the way was prompt, pleasant and always with the best interest of each traveler in mind. EcoAmerica’s partners and guides in Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands and Peru are the best in the industry. They warmly greeted us at each airport, helped us get comfortable at our boutique hotels or vessel, adjusted schedules to accommodate special requests, and maintained a “welcoming persona” as they taught us about their natural treasures and culture. There is no doubt that I will be visiting more of Central America and South America relying on EcoAmerica’s expertise. When they say they love what they do, they really mean it!

We just had a chat with our clients about their trip and they could not say enough good things about the entire experience!!! Everything worked out perfectly, all the hotels, tours were just what they wanted and working at the school project they really enjoyed. We want to thank you for all your hard work on putting this amazing trip together for them –  we truly appreciate it!!

Thank you

The quality of the guides and EcoAmerica Tours employees was remarkable. My daughter Ada said she wanted Homer to be her grandpa because he was so kind and friendly! He had deep knowledge of the plants, animals, and history of the country and provided great context for our experience.

Thank you for all your help providing a great travel experience for our family!

Our family had a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica over the Christmas & New Year’s Holiday. Everything was set up perfectly, the private guides were knowledgeable, accommodating and on time, the vans were  clean and comfortable. We all learned so much about this beautiful and exotic country. It was very helpful to have a contact person while in the country. I had to call her once for a question and she helped me right away. We can’t wait to go back and I will definitely be calling EcoAmerica to help create a once in a lifetime vacation in Costa Rica.

I have been meaning to email you since I returned. The trip was wonderful!   Very high on one of my best.   Pickup went smoothly at every stop, and I can’t say enough about your land services,  from airport transfers to excursions.  All the guides were very professional and knowledgeable. The bus trip from Puno to Cusco was a nice comfortable ride, with great scenery and a marvelous guide onboard.  We enjoyed the two Machu Picchu full day tours, the lunch at the Belmond Lodge was superb! Thank you for this opportunity and a huge thumbs up to EcoAmerica and its Lima-based operation.

Hi Renee!

Just wanted to let you know that after many months of planning and two weeks of travel, we have successfully and happily knocked off a big bucket list item!

Thank you so much for putting together a perfect itinerary!  It was nice to gradually acclimate to the higher altitudes.  You definitely channeled my princess-ness by selecting our comfortable lodging. The Inkaterra lodges were fabulous!  And the train ride from Cusco to Puno was amazing!  Who knew 10 1/2 hours could go by so quickly!  And a great way to see other parts of the country.  So much better than a bus!  Thanks for adding that to the itinerary!  It was so nice to have someone there for us,  the  local tour guides were great, and  felt such pride in their home towns.  Thank you to all involved!

We would like to add our thanks!  The trip fulfilled a dream that I wasn’t sure we’d ever accomplish–and it was amazing!  We were impressed with how well everything went–what a lot of work went into making all those hand-offs!  One thing we hadn’t planned on, but that was amazing was that we were in Peru for the Feast of the Natividad de Maria–a three day celebration there.  So we were  able to see parades, dancing, and amazing celebrations!

Thank you so much for your help in realizing this dream.

The T. family just returned, they had a wonderful time in Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.. They all got home with great memories of their Peru Holiday. They loved it!

Thank you so much for all your help

They loved the Arenal area. The activities were all great. The highlights were ATVs through the mountains and river rafting. They loved the hot springs. The family  gave this part of the trip an A+ and would highly recommend it to others.

Eco-America and reps get an A+. Great service and the transfers were comfortable and drivers were great.

Our trip to Costa Rica was beyond memorable!!!  Thank you so much for all you have done to support our first big family vacation!

Every experience was filled with kind and caring people, the communication between the hotels, tour companies, shuttle drivers, and us was simply outstanding.  Every detail went off without any difficulties.  We learned so much about the country and details from our guide, Homer… He made the trip extra special…what a kind soul!

When visiting the kids at the little school, as we fumbled with our basic Spanish, they shared a bit of their English skills, and we all enjoyed meeting each other and learning names and what they wanted to be when they grew up. We had the opportunity to see a bit of their English work and a notebook in Spanish, which students proudly showed his 100%!  We left them a plaque from us speaking about the value of kindness and a picture book in English which is a sweet story about finding the “bells” within you that will shine in the world… how special each of them is… We would have enjoyed staying longer and reading with the kids, help where needed, or doing some activities, too…we just didn’t want to leave.  There were even parents there who made us drinks and empanadas for a wonderful snack as a thank you!

I was going to reach out to say a big thank you. The trip was a complete success! We had so much fun and the memories will last a lifetime. Someone was always there to meet us coming and going. We never even had to get our own boarding passes; it was all taken care of. Galapagos was the highlight of the trip but everything else was interesting and engaging; even the tarantulas. Quito was beautiful and the middle of the world site was really eye opening and worth the time. Thank you for everything.

Estimada Erin, en estos momentos ya van mis papas de regreso a Guatemala. No tenemos como agradecerle tantas atenciones y el viaje tan maravilloso que les preparó. Estuvieron FELICES y fue una experiencia inolvidable! Es exactamente lo que yo quería para ellos al cumplir su sueño de conocer Perú. Aquí le dejo una foto de recuerdo. Un millón de gracias de todo corazón 😊😊😊

We just wanted to let you know how very grateful we are to you for putting together such a wonderful honeymoon for us.

Our stay at the Mystic resort in the Inland Jungle of the Cayo District was perfect. The owner and her husband really make you feel welcomed and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. It was my first time having such an adventurous trip so for staying in the jungle it was just perfect. We really enjoyed the friendly service and tasty food there as well. The best part of our Honeymoon are the tours that were planned for us. In addition, we did the ATM cave tour. That one was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Our tour guide was Ben, and we were fortunate enough to have him for all three tours. Ben was so knowledgeable and filled us with great history and truly enriched our experience.

Our second part of the trip to Ambergris Island at Ramon’s resort was excellent as well. It was so convenient to have the dive and snorkel kiosk so close for activities. It was a great location as well because we were right in the main part of town. This made it easy to rent a golf cart and go explore other areas like paradise beach. We have memories of this trip that will last a lifetime and look forward to our next adventure.

Thank you Natalie for choosing EcoAmerica Tours to plan our trip. Personal thanks to EcoAmerica Tours for their expert knowledge and outstanding customized arrangements for a trip of a lifetime.

We have returned from our 2nd trip with EcoAmerica Tours. This trip we went to Peru, Argentina and Brazil. Erin worked with me on this trip for almost a year getting every detail just right. We had some complications as we got closer to the time and Erin handled it all and fixed what could have been a disaster. Our guides were professional and helpful. Hotels selected were always just right, good value, excellent food and clean pleasant rooms. We did a lot of going from point A to point B and Erin made sure the transitions were as easy as possible. She also worked on making sure both my husband and I had our interests covered. I highly recommend working with EcoAmerica Tours and can’t wait for our next visit to S. America.

I just wanted to contact you after the AC Family trip in Costa Rica. Thank you again to have organized it, it was wonderful and the kids loved it. the weather was nice and we saw a lot of animals especially in Cano Negro!

Dear Erin, My clients just returned from Costa Rica with rave reviews on the services EcoAmerica provided them; they had nothing but wonderful things to say about the hotel and the tours, they also said the guides were awesome- knowledgeable and so very friendly – anxious to show them the best of their country. Thank you so much for all your help in making this trip such a successful one!!

We just got back from Costa Rica and would like to thank you for making a fabulous Easter Break Vacation possible. The accommodations were perfect and exactly what my family and I wanted, the activities were perfectly suited to what we were looking for. Our guides and drivers were professional, punctual and knowledgeable. We look forward to our next family holiday adventure with EcoAmerica Tours

My clients just returned from Panama and loved it, thank you!

I just wanted to give you some feedback from my clients who just came back from Belize. They had an absolutely amazing time, adored, I mean really adored Pelican Reef Villas! They must have said the staff was amazing about 5-6 times!

They also praised the food, the friendliness of everyone and how easy the whole trip was. They loved the tours and actually tacked on an extra Zip-line – Cave tubing tour! On the flight over for that one, Ella, the older daughter got to play co-pilot (thrill of a lifetime!)

EcoAmerica, once again, did an amazing job and they came back just singing its praises and the praises of Belize! Thank you so much for your partnership and I look forward to many more bookings with EcoAmerica Tours.

We, my wife, daughter and myself, had the greatest trip to Costa Rica. Everything, and I mean everything went smoothly from the time we arrived to the time we left. The guides were fantastic. They were informative, very personal and friendly, and got us to where we needed to be on time and without incident. We were picked up at the airport by a guide, Homer, who got us to our first hotel and then gave us a wonderful tour of the La Paz Waterfall gardens. He was very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and willingly shared the information. He was terrific and got us to our next location and made sure everything was taken care of before leaving us. We were very impressed.

We then stayed at Magic Mountain Hotel in Fortuna. The staff here was excellent, helpful and very warm and concerned about our needs and meeting our needs. One of the maids, Vanessa, even made an anteater out of towels, and left it on our bed. What a magnificent surprise when we got back from our day’s adventures. The water tubing and zip lining for the canopy tour was out of this world. The guides (Esteven, Jefferson, Miguel, Ramon) were fantastic. They were helpful, made both excursions fun and educational and made us laugh a lot. All of us could not stop talking about them, including my wife who was very hesitant about doing these things. She had a great time! Would recommend this excursion to anyone who will be close to the Arenal volcano area.

We then went on the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge excursion which was a land and water expedition. Joadan was our guide and Tonio was the driver. They were great also! Tonio could spot wildlife that we would have missed = sloths, iguanas, various birds. Joadan was very informative about Costa Rica, it’s vegetation and wildlife, and culture. We came away from this tour also very impressed and overwhelmed at the people we had encountered.

The next day we were off to the Arenal Hanging Bridges Natural History Walk with Bernardo as our guide. He helped us see things and experience things that many others missed not being with a guide. Seeing howler monkeys, a corral snake, a red eyed tree frog, a blue jean frog was tremendous besides the beauty of the landscaped and the hanging bridges. It was breathtaking and amazing. Bernardo made sure we hooked up with our next driver, Dennis Castaneda who had driven four hours to get us and return us to Tamarindo Beach and the Diria hotel. We stopped along the way and had a very delicious lunch of Costa Rican cuisine.

Dennis was just another example of the great service and friendliness that we had received on our trip. He made us feel at ease, was informative, willing to share and made sure our needs were taken care of. We had a great time on the beach at the Tarmarino Diria Hotel. The breakfast’s were nothing less than out of this world, the beach was breath taking and wonderful to experience, and the catamaran experience was just one more lifetime highlight. The crew was terrific. We got to see a hump back whale, sea turtles, schools of dolphins, colorful fish when snorkeling, and a large shark that swam up to our sailing boat. We were thrilled.

We can not speak highly enough of this trip and EcoAmerica Tours and the trip they planned for us. We were made to feel special and were taken care of like queens and kings. I would not hesitate at all in recommending their services to anyone. The people of Costa Rica were tremendous and this was a trip we will treasure forever. Pura Vida!!

Hello EcoAmerica Tours: Our clients Mr. & Mrs. H. just returned from an extensive custom planned journey to Uruguay and Argentina. They enjoyed their Uruguay visits to Montevideo and Punta Del Este.

Their stay in Argentina was an enjoyable experience,  the culture, friendly people and the extraordinary scenery made for a wonderful stay;  they particularly enjoyed Bariloche and San Martin, and the day trip to Rancho Santa Susana for the Gaucho Festival. Hotels and land services were great.

Thanks for once again taking care of these repeat customers.

My clients just came back from an incredible week in Costa Rica!  They said that the tours were outstanding –and were particularly impressed with the Rappelling, Zip-lining and ATV excursions. Your planning was fantastic and the trip exceeded their expectations!  It usually goes unnoticed (unless there is a problem), but your guides and bus drivers were friendly, willing to make unplanned stops and always on time. Thank you for all the attention to detail..

Thank you for everything! EcoAmerica did a fabulous job. Always on time and we never had one delay or problem with anything on the trip. Amazing. Take care and many thanks for all you did to make this adventure AWESOME!

I just spoke to my client and she was thrilled about her Costa Rica trip! She could not stop talking about how wonderful it was and how absolutely perfect everything was organized. The guides were amazing, the tours were amazing, the service, hotels, people, etc., was all perfect and she couldn’t thank me enough”  Thanks for the wonderful work; I have referred you to all my colleagues!

My compliments for another well-orchestrated trip for our mutual clients.. I love Peru so much and was sure your beautiful itinerary would be perfect for them.

I want you to know that we arrived safely back to the US. Thank you for all of your help with our changes due to the hurricane. We very much enjoyed Manuel Antonio and Arenal and are sorry that we missed Monteverde. Our guide, Homer, was terrific and we really enjoyed his knowledge and camaraderie.

Just a note to thank you for booking the package for our family after the guild trip. The area you recommended was fantastic. Truly one of the most beautiful and family friendly vacations we have ever been on… And we have traveled quite a bit. The best part was the tours. We loved our driver from 4 Seasons to Mountain Paradise Jorge. He and my husband were talking the entire 4 hour drive, and my husband is not a talker. We learned so much about Costa Rica, the country, the history the culture on that drive it was amazing. Another stand out tour guide was Jose. He was our guide on the Volcano Tour. He also was so smart about the history, and biology of the jungle. I appreciated how much my kids were learning during the tour. An education they would never get at home and an experience they will never forget. At the end of the day my daughter Kaela told me “I was really expecting not to like that tour but it was cool”. That means A LOT coming from a 13 year old city girl. The kids all agreed the Zip lining was their favorite activity. So exciting, and the views of the lake from the lines was spectacular. I never felt they were unsafe and the guides on the lines were so fun, and a little crazy. The timing on the rafting trip worked out, because that was the day it rained. Since we were rafting the rain did not spoil our fun. Stanley our rafting guide was a crack up. He had many stories of the adventures in his life and was happy to share in between splashing and the rapids. The photos of the day were terrific too, and emailed to us right away. We have such a respect and appreciation of the Costa Rica people, the jungle thanks to the tours we booked. Feel free to use us as a reference for anyone else considering this travel destination. My only regret is we didn’t stay long enough. We definitely plan to return. Thanks, Alisha

I want to let you know that Mr. and Mrs. K are back from their vacation in Costa Rica and they had a wonderful time. They mentioned that they especially enjoyed their time with Laura, their naturalist guide in Tortuguero as she did an exceptional job!

What follows is a true testimonial from my family, whose travels were organized so superbly by Marcelo and handled even more adeptly by Cindy and the rest of his team. A special thanks to Erin for helping where it mattered the most.

I quote my brother-in-law, V.S. Amarnath who traveled with his wife, Sumitra – both from Mumbai, India.

“Getting over the dream. I am sure you are relieved these two oldies have at last reached home intact. We have to admit the trip was pretty taxing physically and still worth every moment of it. There was not a single soul around who was not floored by the spectacle of Peru and Bolivia.

Bolivia was as spectacular as Machu Picchu. I gather the Salt Flat is one of the 10 things you have to see in your life time, I am curious to know where are the rest of the nine. Thanks for the meticulous planning.
Our guides in Lima and at the salt flat at Uyuni were outstanding. Another person worth the mention was our guide in Cuzco who has studied anthropology and was bundle of knowledge and very, very communicative. He was also very caring of Chummi.

We were around 4000+ Meters on the last two days all the time going along Lake Titicaca till we reached la Paz. At one place we had a boat ride across the lake with the bus having a ride on a larger ferry. That was a bonus.”

Again, Thanks Marcelo for a job well planned and better handled!

I am so happy to tell you the girls had a fantastic time and I wanted to share with you some of what they told me. They were so impressed by the punctuality of all of the guides, transfers and tours – even checking in with them the night before to ensure they were on track.

In their own words: “Overall, we had a fabulous time! The guides were amazing, we loved Sandra in Lima, Jose Angel in Cuzco and our guide in Machu Picchu, the drive to Puno, Uros guide and the guide in Sillustani; they all were great and also gave us very good recommendations.” They were bubbling with excitement and really enjoyed the trip! Thank you so much for all of your expert help and I will absolutely call you again when I get another South America trip!

We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful vacation in Costa Rica! We were surprised and delighted how smoothly everything went.  Every hotel transfer and excursion was right on time as scheduled. Our room at the Mountain Paradise Hotel was spacious and clean. It had the most awesome view of the volcano which we were able to see every day. Our first tour was of the Arenal Volcano. Hiking is one of our most favorite outdoor activities so we really enjoyed the trek. Our guide Heidel (sp?) was extremely knowledgeable of the area. Our next excursion that day was to Ecotermales Hot Springs with dinner. We have been to hot springs before but never awesome ones like these with multiple pools at different temps. Dinner was great too.

Next day Canyoning and waterfall rappelling were definitely a rush. I am afraid of heights but I did it!  And I have the proof in pictures which was also a nice touch that the guides had done for all of us. Lunch afterwards was just the way we like it, local style.  Sarapiqui River Rafting was just awesome! We are water lovers and just had a blast. Midday snack along the river was refreshing. Lunch again was local flavor great.

Attica Canopy Tour was exhilarating and Horseback riding was fun. We were impressed with the professionalism and instruction from all the guides. We felt very safe during all activities which was very important to us. What was also helpful was the information we were given about each tour such as what to expect, what to wear and what to bring.

Thank you so much for arranging the phenomenal trip to Peru. Every single day and tour went smoothly and were perfect.

I am so incredibly happy you and your team helped make one of my dreams come true. Everything was so incredibly organized, affordable, and safe!

I was amazed to see Cusco and Machu Picchu were very tourist friendly. I already speak the language but it was in no way required. I honestly did not have to worry about one single thing! This was an especially important factor as I was traveling as a single woman.

Thank you also for the added factor of including the extra day on Machu Picchu to climb Wayna Picchu. I was a bad traveler and did not do my homework and had no idea about the wonders of Cusco, the fortress, and the additional adventurous hike. Oh and the food and hotels were splendid!!! I have already recommended you to all my friends and family and hope to go on more adventures like this if not once a year every other year.

Just to let you know Costa Rica was fantastic and everything went off very well! All the tours were done exceptionally well!

The best activities by far were the Monte Verde Zip Line and the Arenal Waterfall rappelling! These had the greatest adrenaline and the best pictures. The scenery was priceless. I’m the only one of my friends that can say they repelled down several waterfalls.

I was very impressed by everything I saw in the various places of jungle that I went to, all the plants, animals, flora and fauna. The Monkeys that run around the tourists were the best surprise. I was not expecting them to be there and that friendly with people but they were impressive. I saw pretty much a specimen of everything: frogs, snakes, birds, bats, etc, everything I wanted to see on this trip.

The trip was really great and I want to thank everyone in your office for a very well thought out itinerary. I have recommended to you to other people I know interested in South/Central American nature vacations.

 

Hello Erin & Marcelo

My two couples just returned from Costa Rica with great reports about the delivery of all service. They were very pleased to see their guide Homer waiting for them as they stepped off the cruise ship. They enjoyed all the adventures you arranged for them; especially the river rafting and the waterfall rappelling. Thanks for taking such good care of our clients.

My son and I truly enjoyed the Peru Holiday Adventure you guys put together for us. I have shared my pictures from Machu Picchu with my clients and they all say that Machu Picchu is on their Bucket List. Thanks for a great travel experience!

My clients just came back from Costa Rica, they had a great time and everything was as good or better than expected. The whole family appreciated the fact that the entire vacation was planned with the adventures taking place at the beginning of the itinerary, and their beach stay at the end.

We returned today from our Galapagos Cruise Adventure on board the deluxe M/Y Grace and  I just wanted to tell you quickly that the trip was amazing and that everything was very well organized !!!!

Thanks again for all your support and I will for sure come back to you for any other Latin America trip we may undertake in the future!!

Thank you for the excellent organization of our trip to Peru, the beautiful hotels, the itinerary, and the private cooking lesson at the Inkaterra Pueblo Hotel in Machu Picchu. Both the guide for the train and Machu Picchu, and the Lake Titicaca / Sillustani Tombs were fantastic with a wealth of information.

Thanks again for your superb assistance.

Just a short note to thank you for making The Frisch’s trip to Peru so fantastic. The whole family had a great time and enjoyed the culture, friendly people and the unbelievable scenery. They had nothing but good things to say about the guides and tours. Thank you and your team for all of your efforts and I will definitely use EcoAmerica Tours again!

I wanted to thank you for the great Costa Rica service received by both of my recent bookings; the H family vacation as well as the S family Spring Break! I will be using you for all my Central and South American travels. Thank You!

My clients just came back from Argentina, so I want to share their comments with you: “…the tour operators were great, always on time, friendly, with a smile, and very helpful. To be honest, we were surprised of such professionalism. [We] had a great time and you can see that Argentina is an upcoming tourist destination with overall good infrastructure, cheap currency, and now with the visa fee of 160 usd waived since last year, I believe more US citizens would be willing to travel there. In terms of hotels, the best was the one in El Calafate. For us, the best part were the trips outside of Buenos Aires. If we had more time we would have gone to Salta, Mendoza, and Ushuaia…”

The fifteen member family group that we sent to Costa Rica over Spring Break had a fantastic time!  The beautiful ten room villa that you arranged for their accommodations was absolutely perfect!  Their adventures through the rainforest, the catamaran cruise, and river rafting outings were enjoyed by all family members and will be talked about for years to come!

Just want to thank you very much for the fabulous job you did with the D Family; as you can see in their message, they are raving about your local services: “Thank you one more time for the wonderful Peru trip you recommended and booked for us. We had a fabulous time and will be talking about it for years to come. My parents were like little children. Happy and amazed. The tour guides were one of the nicest people that I have ever met. Kind, on time, smiled, understood my parents needs and age… unbelievable. Machu Picchu was something else. I only wished that we had one more day to just sit on the top of the mountain and stare at the unbelievable beauty and the breathtaking views.”

Our group just returned from their trip to Chile & Argentina and had a fabulous experience.  Everything went well, they loved their guides, drivers and all the tours that you booked for them. Especially enjoyed their meals. Thank you for taking amazing care of our guests.

I wanted you to know that the clients I booked with you, traveling to Peru last March, had a wonderful time.  Even the mother, who was apprehensive about making the trip initially, had a great time thanks to your help and support during travel. They all agreed that they would go back in a heartbeat! Thanks for your assistance with this reservation. I’ll be thinking of you first for the next opportunity to book clients to South America!

You did an excellent job and the local staff and guides were very, very good. I can’t say enough on how accommodating and on top of things they were. You were right, we did it all and that is what we wanted. So glad we didn’t miss the Sacred Valley either. The first two hotels were nice, in good locations and super staff; the hotel in the Sacred Valley upgraded us to a suite, it was super, super nice… Didn’t want to leave the room and that was not a good thing. 🙂 Everyone in Peru was so pleasant that we fell in love with Peru and we have you to thank for doing such a good job and I know the best thank-you we can give is to book more folks to go with you. Most of our clients are elderly and this trip is definitely one for the ones in decent shape but I have been telling everyone what a great trip it was.

I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our most recent adventure to Guatemala and Belize with EcoAmerica. This was out third excursion with you. Once again, everything that you arranged for was excellent!  We were able to customize our trip exactly how we envisioned it. You were able to coordinate other family members travels and excursions with ours. The questions we had during our travels were answered quickly. Our family will have wonderful memories of the time we spent together on vacation thanks to you and your team.

Thank you again for making this trip even more memorable that the first two!!!

“…I want to thank you for the fabulous Peru trip. It was absolutely amazing!!! The tours were wonderful, and the English speaking guides were fabulous. They certainly knew what they were explaining to us, and their passion for the history and culture of Peru were evident. It made us feel excited to learn. I really liked the fact that we could check in with the front desk at our hotels each night and find out what time to be ready the next day. And it was nice to have the tour guides come into the hotel lobby to find us. It was an additional personal touch that just added to the overall experience.”

Our trip was great!  Jose and Rafa both very professional and very nice young men.  We thoroughly enjoyed them.  All the accommodations were good, very good meals, itinerary worked out fine. The birders were all thrilled with all we saw. I really appreciated how the details for the last night’s dinner were all worked out, and we never had any problems with room assignments or any of the typical problems that can come up on group tours. And everyone is already asking me to set up something for next year, so we’ll talk soon about that.

Wanted to let you know how pleased we were with our Panama and Belize trip.  The accommodations were great, the guides and drivers knowledgeable, the transfers were good. Overall we would (and will) recommend your company to others. We really appreciated all your help and for being so flexible with the changes we requested. We are considering another trip next Jan to possibly Ecuador and the Galapagos. Thanks again for making our experience a great one!

My clients that traveled over spring break; the Hodes to Costa Rica and the Perrys to Belize really enjoyed their stay. Thanks for all your help!

Thank you again for all of your good advice and planning such a great tour for my clients. You may happily use me as a referral!

Thank you for your follow up yesterday. Later in the day I heard from the Young’s and they really liked the tour and arrangements. Looking forward to working with you again in the future..

I just talked to the Miller’s. They had a wonderful time with all your arrangements. Everything went perfectly, just as you explained. They were very pleased. I want to thank you and hope to have to opportunity to work with you again. Your organization of the trip was perfect. Thanks for your attention to detail.

Just a few lines to let you know how much my clients enjoyed their trip with your company. They only wished they had allotted more time. Thanks for taking care of them.

Our Galapagos Trip was great. Thanks for making this vacation the best ever. – Anita Durst

Thanks for the really great trip. Everything was stellar from the transfers, hotels and excursions.

I would write you and let you know how our tour through EcoAmerica worked out. We were impressed from the moment we got to the airport in Lima… Our guides were very knowledgeable, personal and very informative. Our visit to Machu Picchu, including the train ride was literally a treat… When we flew from Cusco to Quito all the arrangements worked so smoothly that we even forgot that we were in a different country.

The final part of our trip, a cruise through the Galapagos was beyond our imagination: we did get to see the Blue Footed Boobies and the large land tortoises and a lot of other bird life on the islands. We also got to snorkel with the sea loins and turtles, as long as we didn’t interfere with where they wanted to go…

So all in all, it was a great trip and I would not hesitate to use EcoAmerica Tours again for future travel.

Hi Marcelo, the Bazants had a wonderful time in Ecuador and Panama, they were very impressed with your services and rest assured we will use your company again. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for helping us on this trip! The Red Mangrove was very accommodating and helpful to the enjoyment of our Galapagos trip. Never had an issue. Best people!

I want to share my clients’ comments regarding their Ecuador travel arrangements. With comments like these I will continue to direct business your way. Thanks for doing a great job for my valued clients.

EcoAmerica Tours put together a one of a kind trip for me that I took in June/July 2015. I traveled alone and I am a young female. I felt safe and had each day of my vacation planned out for me with a guide and a driver at minimal cost.

I wanted to let you know I finally got a chance to talk to my clients the M Family …. The first trip you helped me plan … and they  LOVED it. Everything went smoothly & perfectly, and  they loved Costa Rica so much they are already planning to go back! They asked me to tell you that  Homer & Shayla  “Were Excellent!”

So from me as well, Thank you so much for all your help and for taking such good care of my clients.

I just wanted you to know  how excited and pleased I was that I sent you the picture to share some of the beauty of Costa Rica. I fell in love with the area but mostly with the people; they were so kind and great at telling us history and describing the landscapes. It was an unforgettable trip and I have given your name to others.

I loved how all the guides took care in telling us what to look for, the names of plants, of areas, and even gave us bits of small plants to taste and smell. I now know why so many people love Costa Rica and return there.

Our Group just returned from Costa Rica. We had a great time, everybody enjoyed the experience. Our program was filled with lots of adventures, all the services were provided as represented, including your choice of properties, the Montana de Fuego hotel in Arenal and the Villas Sol All Inclusive Beach Resort in Hermosa Beach. You were right; both were great values with comfortable rooms and good service. Rafa our private guide and all your staff were excellent. Thanks for taking care of us.

Joe and his two daughters just came back from a wonderful Family Adventure Holiday in Costa Rica. Marcelo, you did it again! Everything was perfect, from beginning to end. I feel confident, comfortable and grateful, every time I put my clients in your very capable hands!

I want to let you and your colleagues at Eco-America know I had a wonderful adventure! All the transfers were on schedule, accommodations were wonderful, and activities were superb. My highlight was seeing the green turtles hatch from the sand and make their way to the sea!! We were fortunate to see three nesting areas thanks to the excellent local guides of Tortuguero. Canopy (twice), bridge walks, nature hikes, jungle walks, hummingbirs, butterflies and all the wild animals were all amazing… I knew I was in for an adventure but didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did.

…a HUGE thank you to you and your team. My clients, the Starr Baiers LOVED your services in Costa Rica. They had nothing but good things to say about the guides and tours. They complaint about the check-in process one small hotel, but they wound up loving the hotel once they had a good night’s sleep!

I would like to share comments from my valued clients regarding the exceptional arrangements in Costa Rica: “Everyone in our group want to thank you for the recommendation and arranging the tour. Homer, our guide, was excellent. It rained like crazy in the gardens and even that was fun for a bunch of rain starved So Californians.”

You and your staff never disappoint. Thanks for making me look good to my clients.

I just wanted to thank all of you for making our holiday in Costa Rica such a wonderful experience for us.  My husband and I had a fabulous time! …the fishing was great, especially the off shore fishing. My husband caught 7 sailfish and 2 huge Dorado on Saturday alone! …Again, my sincere thanks to all of you for making sure this was a perfect vacation for us.  All of you have been so responsive to our needs and inquiries throughout the planning process as well as while we were on vacation.

The Klein’s just returned from the trip to Costa Rica and had a fabulous experience. Everything went well, they loved the driver and all the tours that you booked for them. Thank you for always taking amazing care of our guests.

Thanks Marcelo and Erin for taking such good care of the JM family. Please share their trip review with your team here and in Costa Rica: “We arrived home last night from our family vacation in Costa Rica. What a great trip! All of the arrangements went completely smoothly, and we were very pleased with the choice of hotels and tours. We did so many fun things. There was a lot of rain when we were at Arenal but we were able to avoid any downpours on our tours during that stretch. The Springs hotel in Arenal – beautiful, ultra luxurious property. Hot springs and service were spectacular. El Parador at Manuel Antonio – excellent hotel with beautiful pool and views. We really enjoyed having some free time here to relax at the end of our stay and spend time at the property. Ground transportation – excellent – always on time, well organized, courteous service, knowledgeable guides and drivers. Our Tours were a lot of fun; especially the canopy/hanging bridges in Monteverde, the white water rafting on the Sarapiqui river, and the Cano Negro wildlife tour. Overall, a great trip that was action packed.”

Just wanted to thank you again for all your help. Mr. Lain had an awesome Peru trip. He wants to go back and is working ‘rosetta stone’ to learn Spanish. 600 pictures, video and chitter bites were his treasures upon returning. He said he has lots to share with his students.

Mr. and Mrs. Ray and Mr. Juliano recently returned from their Machu Picchu and Galapagos personal expedition. They very much enjoyed the personalized services your company planned for them; in fact we have other clients looking to do the same itinerary, we will keep you posted.

Wanted to let you know my clients that went to Peru had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for helping me make their trip wonderful! Thanks Again!

I just wanted to share my clients’ comments with you on their trip to Peru over the Christmas holiday: “Pat, first I want to say thank you. The trip was fabulous and all the hotels, transfers, and guides were great too. Overall it was a great experience.” They are well traveled and always give me input and I certainly will use your services again thanks to a job well done.

Thank you so much for all you did with the Jenkins and their Peru Getaway. They really enjoyed it very much!!! She stated that everything was wonderful.

I just wanted to share my clients’ comments with you on their trip to Peru over the Christmas holiday. They are well traveled and always give me input. I certainly will use your services again thanks to a job well done. Thank you and may we both have a prosperous new year.

An amazing trip to Peru. Best Vacation ever. Learned a lot about the history of the Incas of Machu Picchu and the Spanish conquistadors. Got to spend time with my kids. Everyone got along. The guides were wonderful. Timeliness was excellent. The drive from Cusco to Puno was 8 hours but it was broken up by interesting sightseeing stops along the way. The food and lodging was far better than expected. The people are wonderful. I really can’t say enough. Thanks for putting this all together.

Our dream did come through! My friend and I had a fascinating Peruvian Adventure; we visited Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Amazon. The views were extraordinary, the food delicious and the people very friendly. We had excellent guides, William in the Amazon was outstanding, and he made our visit to the Amazon a real pleasure.

I just want to take the time to personally thank you for the Wonders of Peru plus Cusco that you planned for my clients. Their report to me was that everything went perfectly and they were “treated like royalty”. Our office has always strived to give excellent customer service, and these days it is extremely important to us that we work with companies who also offer that level of service, and EcoAmerica definitely does! Thank you.

Thanks for putting together a wonderful Peruvian vacation for our group. No words can express the wonders of this beautiful and friendly country. Every minute of our holiday was magical; the guides were great and we all had a fantastic time.

Our Trip to Peru was Amazing, there are NO WORDS to describe what we saw or did. The Tour Guides and the drivers were AWESOME. The local people were great and very helpful when we needed. We feel very comfortable recommending your services, there was NOT One thing that went Wrong! Everything was Great!

I used your company for the first time last year when I was doing a destination wedding in Lima. From the first phone call to your company I was hooked. I knew I had found the perfect tour company to assist me. After the wedding, many of the guests  did separate trips and everything went off without a hitch. My clients came back very satisfied and were very impressed with all your services. I was so intrigued by their stories that I figured it was time to venture here myself.

I decided to take my son and his best friend on their college break to go explore. We visited Cusco and did the afternoon tour. It was really interesting and had some beautiful views of the city at the top. Next we were off to Machu Picchu and stayed at the Sanctuary Lodge which I would recommend in a heartbeat. We were able to enjoy the afternoon and evening to ourselves without all the extra tourists. We had a great  dinner and the best night’s sleep ever. It was truly the highlight of our trip to wake up the next morning and hike up to the Sunbelt and have that experience. I will never, ever forget it! Back to Cusco we had everything pre-arranged already for us with all transfers and hotel arrangements to Puno and Lake Titicaca. I am so happy with your  company that I have made sure the rest of my staff will book any further Latin America trips you, as will I. Peru was awesome and I look forward to sending many, many more clients!!!

Just a quick note to report that my clients, the Family of 15, had an awesome time in Peru and have arrived home safe and sound! Thanks for all your help!

Thank you for your expert planning and attention to detail that made our recent trip to Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Iguazu Falls and Rio de Janeiro so memorable. You were able to listen to our wishes and put together a trip for us that was perfect in every way. We met so many wonderful, knowledgeable tour guides that customized each tour to our pace and interests. After a busy day of touring, you booked us into lovely hotels where we could relax and be ready for the next day’s adventure. The lunches at each stop were a delicious education into the cuisine of each country.  We appreciated all of the written travel guides you sent to to help us better pack for our trip. We enjoyed excellent hospitality at each new stop and always felt safe and welcomed. You are truly experts in this area of travel, and we highly recommend your agency to anyone planning a trip to South America.

We want to tell you how much we appreciated all you did to make our Machu Picchu and Galapagos combination trip so wonderful. It truly exceeded all our expectations. We both commented several times how much easier our travel was this time with the help of all your guides and transfers. It makes the whole thing so much more enjoyable. Our big highlights include the hotel in Aguas Calientes which was fantastic. You must also tell your clients to eat at Indio Feliz while there, as it was one of the best meals of the trip. Another highlight was the Legend Ship. I was not expecting such a great room, balcony, excellent food, terrific guides etc… I had high hopes but it went beyond what I had hoped. We met lovely people as well. Again, thank you so much for all that you did. It really allowed us to have one of our best trips ever.

Thanks again for helping plan our trip to the Galapagos and Machu Picchu in Peru. We had a wonderful time.

I want to share with you and your team, what Melissa and Cheryl just sent to me: “…We had a great time! Thank you very much for such a wonderful itinerary! I felt like we saw so much of Peru, like we had such an action packed week… And all of the guides we had were friendly, professional, personable, and helpful. They really did an amazing job. We felt so well taken care of while in Peru.”

Thank you Marcelo for arranging a beautiful itinerary for my group to Peru. It was full of excitement from beginning to end. The way you’ve arranged our itinerary made it easier for us to adjust with the altitude. The hotels were beautiful, especially the El Refugio Hotel in Colca and Posada del Inca Yucay Hotel in Sacred Valley. The food was exceptional, we even tried Guiney pig and Alpaca. What an interesting delicacy. You have given us the most wonderful 16 days, paid attention to detail and went beyond our expectation. Everybody raved about the trip and most importantly, you have given us the most wonderful memory of Peru. I will not hesitate to use your company again to other South America destinations in the future. Thank you for being a perfect partner.

My sister and I just returned from the Wonders of Peru trip last Thursday. I want to Thank You for such a marvelous adventure. The trip was seamless, the guides far exceeded our expectations. The guides had so much knowledge and where so warm and friendly. From the moment we landed in Lima until the day we left for home we knew exactly what our plans for the day would be. The accommodations were great as well as the friendly staff at each hotel. I will be recommending this trip to others and we plan on taking another EcoAmerica Tour in the future.
