Ecuador expert: Tamer

“The initial work by Rough Guides to select and suggest local people/Companies for our trip was excellent. Having chosen Tamer (Authentic Travel), we were more and more convinced that he was a perfect choice - knowledge, experience, communication, professionalism, clarity and on top of these, his dedication to ensuring every element of our pre-trip and during the trip itself was the best it could be. When potential issues arose (as they always will), Tamer was ahead of the problem, solving it often before we knew about it. We travel a lot, and this is the best it can be! We do not say this lightly, having given some terrible reviews to those who can't meet at least the minimum to be expected. We would unconditionally recommend both Companies to everyone.”

“Tamer did an excellent job organizing my last-minute trip to Peru. My mum was originally meant to join me but had to cancel due to a sudden injury. Although the tour was non-refundable, Taner was very understanding and helped with adjustments to the LATAM flights, which I really appreciated. The overall itinerary was well planned, and everything ran smoothly. Tamer stayed in touch throughout the trip and was always available when needed. The Sacred Valley hotel and local guides were wonderful, and the whole experience was memorable. The only downside was the hotel in Cusco, which I wouldn’t recommend due to poor service and noise, but that was the only weak point in an otherwise great trip. Tamer is patient, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients’ experience. I’d definitely recommend him and would be happy to book through him again in the future.”
