"Perfect travels with Kuoda Travel"
“Mery and Thomas at Kuoda helped us plan a 2+ week itinerary through Ecuador and the Galapagos that exceeded our expectations. They worked closely with us to arrange experiences to meet our interests. The service provided was exceptional- including checking up on us continually to see if there was anything we needed, the hotels they chose for us were fabulous, the Galapagos cruise ship of 16 passengers was perfect. We have travelled with Kuoda throughout South America several times, have recommended them to friends and family and would use ONLY them on our next trip to South America.”

"Once in a lifetime trip thanks to Kuoda!"
“Our trip to Peru was truly a once in a lifetime experience made possible by all of the incredible staff and guides at Kuoda! They truly went out of their way to make the entire trip seamless and so very special. We could not be more grateful to this company for showing us the beauty of Peru!”

"Trip of a Lifetime!"
“Kuoda planned an unforgettable trip for us. They covered all the details so we didn’t have to stress over them. Hotels, restaurants, bus drivers, tour guides, the ADVENTURES, flight boarding passes, transporting our luggage while we played, it was epic to say the least! Thank you Kuoda for the trip of a lifetime!”

"Vacation of a Lifetime"
“We LOVED Karina. My boys still speak about her and say that they miss her. Karina was so incredibly fantastic… I was impressed with her knowledge and expertise as she taught us about the history of the Incas, the monuments, city structure, everything really… She was kind with my girls – entertaining them and keeping them occupied while my husband and I took some time to explore. Her warmth and friendliness is endearing. We were very sad saying goodbye to Karina – my children cried big tears. She is an asset to Kuoda and I am so thankful that we spent as much time as we did with her.”

"Tour of Peru Wonders"
“Kuoda staff, trip designer, guides, and driver were the very best. They provided the absolute trip of a lifetime. Each day was planned, and it was excellent. (…) We would definitely recommend this to all our family and friends. (…) Mery and her whole staff accommodated our requests whenever we would ask. We could have never really expected such professionalism and friendly service.”

"Fantastic Peru Tour"
“Stating my favorite part is difficult because I enjoyed all parts of the trip agenda. Lake Titicaca was fantastic; Machu Picchu was just beyond words; seeing the Condors was an unbelievable experience; the guides were knowledgeable and met every need. I would highly recommend Kuoda Travel for anyone desiring an end-to-end catered tour that will meet your every travel need.”

"An Incredible Bucket List Trip"
“Our trip was amazing!! We had personal guides at each stage as we moved around the country. All of the guides were not only knowledgeable, but professional, compassionate, and kind, so we were able to customize our tour to meet our activity level (we are older so couldn’t keep up with long days of walking, etc.). During driving time, we had many conversations about the history, politics, and culture of Peru.”
