Dear Jan, And dears Ernie, Tanis, and Alan, Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience. I’m truly delighted to hear that you, Tanis, and Alan enjoyed this very special trip. I also want to sincerely thank Ernie for trusting me to design this journey for him and his family. It has been a real honor, and more than my job is my passion. I truly hope that in the future I’ll have the opportunity to create a trip to a place Ernie can also travel to, and that I have the privilege of designing it. Thank you for enjoying every detail, for sharing so many beautiful photos with me, and for taking the time to chat during and at the end of the trip to tell me all the wonderful moments you experienced. With love and gratitude, Jacquie Granda

Steven at the Responsible Travel South America initially booked a 1 stop flight for me and my family, and we paid for it. However, he changed the flight to a 3-stop flight (going to Peru) and 2-stop flight (return) without my permission. This caused multiple issues for me and my family as well as extra $32,00 cost. He and the Responsible Travel South America never provided a clear explanation for this flight change. I do NOT recommended this agency for travel to anyone.Show more

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m sorry to read that you and your family felt inconvenienced — that is never the outcome we want for any traveler. To clarify publicly, without going into private details: all flight options, including any changes in routing, were shared and confirmed in writing before ticketing. We do not modify issued flights without prior communication, and any updates are always based on airline availability or schedule adjustments. We truly care about our travelers and take feedback seriously. Thank you for your feedback. Best regards, Responsible Travel Team
