What our clients have said:
"Awesome. She was calm, authoritative, great with the kids, always there when needed, went way beyond the call. Couldn't ask for better!" "She was THE BEST!! She was our mom, our teacher, and our friend." "She was wonderful, good natured, very informative, very patient with us. We really enjoyed her company. She was very easygoing. Awesome trip due to her being with us. On the down time days--we wished she was with us--we thought of her as part of our group!" "Cynthia was fantastic. She was always happy and a pleasure to be around. I really appreciate all the hard work she put in. Cynthia played a huge role in making my trip so memorable and fun!" "The best!! I'd love to do another trip with her.She had to deal with the problems of the strikes, and lost baggage, and handled everything very professionally." "Cynthia was great, the best guide on a trip like this I have ever had. She is so organized, efficient, friendly. Just can't say enough good about her." "Cynthia is a find. She is bright, pleasant, willing to be helpful. Her smile welcomed us every morning. She was encouraging and never lost her patience. She is one of the best guides I have ever met." "Cynthia is a very talented and personable guide who presented herself as a true professional who saw to every need and question. Always with a smile and always concerned that everyone be accommodated. I can not say enough about this young woman but suffice it to say that of all the trips that I have been on and all of the guides that I have met Cynthia would come out as the #1 guide on my list." "Cynthia is an off the charts guide. Personable almost to a fault, knowledgeable (sp), efficient, gracious - did I leave anything out?" "Cynthia was unbelievably good, patient, kind, thoughtful. She is simply amazing. I loved her." "Cynthia was amazing! She showed sincere interest in our family and wanted to make sure that our trip was great. We feel that our trip was perfect because Cynthia was part of it! The moment Cynthia left us at the Lima airport on our last day, we felt like we were saying goodbye to a dear friend. We hope to someday take another trip with Active SA and, with some good planning and a little luck, Cynthia will be our guide again!" "Cynthia is amazing...incredibly sensitive to individual needs, positive, friendly, effective, helpful, flexible, organized, prompt, knowledgeable, energetic and definitely ensured everyone had an awesome time." "Cynthia was a true pleasure to have as our trip leader. Her maturity and strong leadership skills are well beyond someone of her age. Her positive attitude and humor and gentle encouragement helped make the trip special." "SHE WAS THE BEST! She was always concerned with my well being and my sisters, it made for a great trip." "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!" "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." "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" "Cynthia was very responsive to our needs and very flexible at times. Couldn't have asked for more." "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?" "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!" "Cynthia was outstanding! I am sure with someone else, we would not have had such a wonderful time. She is a real star." "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!" |
