Finding a good travel agent

I am planning a two-month trip to Bolivia,Peru and Ecuador, in that order. I know where I want to go, when I want to go and how long I want to stay in each country. What I need now is a good travel agent who could set up the entire trip, including flights, hotels, buses and trains. If you know a good one, please let me know. Thanks. Sy

excellent personal experience for me last Dec

for my 5K SA trip Chilean/Quiteno speaks perfect english

college educated dive master www.galavengalapagos.com

for $600 on sales many other excellent deals like this.

Shop carefully MANY scammers "experts" on sites like

Tripadvertizer that will charge you thousands more.

Happy Hunting!

We've used Audley travel twice for trips to South America. who will tailor make a trip to your precise requirements and will continue to tweek an itinerary until it is just right for you. You will work with named contact a Audley who will make all the arrangements and bookings for you. When away you have a 24 hour emergency phone number for Audley as well as a local contact. We have been impressed by the drivers and guides used by Audley.

When we were planning our first trip we emailed several agents with outline itinerary and a series of questions. We found that Audley were the only one to address all the issues we had raised and appreciated what we wanted to do and achieve. Some of the other agents were trying to shoe horn us into one of their standard itineraries which we didn't want.

We have found their prices to be good compared to other agents and they say they will match a lower, identical quote from another company.
