"SHE WAS THE BEST! She was always concerned with my well being and my sisters, it made for a great trip."
-- Harrison Kipner (CA, United States) August 2007 Jaguar


"Cynthia is an absolutely wonderful person! I now have a sister in Peru! We really feel that she went above and beyond the "call of duty" for many of us in the group. Personally, we found her very imformative, helpful, thoughtful, friendly, funny... as you can see, we love her to pieces!"
-- Terri Mutschke (BC, Canada) May 2007 Jaguar


"I can not immagine a better guide than Cynthia. She was great interacting with the group, shepherding a variety of people/personalities and needs. She was effective with the outgoing and less outgoing and with the old and young. When challenges came up she was calm, collected and effective."
-- Matt Holden (ME, United States) April 2007 Jaguar


"Cynthia was so thoughtful, caring, fun and made the trip that much more enjoyable, and she also went out of her way to solve any travel/activity requests we had outside of the trip itself. Great job, Cynthia. She is an incredible guide and friend"
-- Jeanie Conner (VA, United States) April 2007 Jaguar


"Cynthia was very responsive to our needs and very flexible at times. Couldn't have asked for more."
-- Maureen McLaughlin (NJ, United States) December 2006 Jaguar


"Cynthia was the most giving trip leader ever. She gave me her raincoat for a couple of days, she waited for me when I was slow climbing, she even taught me how to barter in Cuzco so that I could shop on my own. She was fun, energetic, knowledgeable and organized. Who could ask for more?"
-- Donna Dinniwell (ON, Canada) December 2006 Jaguar


"If Cynthia was my sister I would be very happy!! She is an awesome person, a fantastic guide, and she definitely made the trip for us. Thanks Cynthia!"
-- Alise Mattar (AZ, United States) December 2006 Jaguar


"Cynthia was outstanding! I am sure with someone else, we would not have had such a wonderful time. She is a real star."
-- Dan Martin (AZ, United States) December 2006 Jaguar


"Cynthia really made the trip special for me. She was funny, always on time and prepared. She was awesome and the trip wouldn't have been the same without her!"
-- Normand La Chance (NY, United States) November 2006 Jaguar
