ОТЗЫВЫ
"Агентство "SUN AND SNOW EXPEDITIONS" подарило нашей семье (мы с дочерью 20 лет) замечательное путешествие по Эквадору в феврале текущего года. Еще на стадии письменных переговоров мы увидели, что имеем дело, с одной стороны, с опытными горовосходителями: на все наши вопросы, касающиеся альпинистской части получили абсолютно исчерпывающие и квалифицированные вопросы. А с другой стороны, очень обрадовал индивидуальный подход к будущим клиентам. Совместно с Катей мы составили тур по не стандартному маршруту, организаторы шли навстречу почти всем нашим пожеланиям, кроме явно невыполнимых. Несмотря на фактически индивидуальный тур, цены были намного меньше аналогичных фирм из стран СНГ за стандартный маршрут по вулканам Эквадора, что естественно нас порадовало.
Но сама поездка, ее атмосфера и впечатления превзошли наши ожидания. Четкая и разнообразная акклиматизационная часть (трекинги в разных частях Эквадора, ледовые занятия на леднике Каямбе) позволила в короткие сроки грамотно подготовиться к восхождению на Котопакси и взойти на нее. В горах с ребятами мы чувствовали себя в полной безопасности в любых погодных условиях. А отдых, организованный Катей и Эдгаром после восхождения (джунгли, водопады, купание в пещере, лагуны) не забудутся никогда. Что особенно хорошо для русскоговорящих туристов, что в их компании ты совершенно не ощущаешь языкового барьера, благодаря русскому языку Кати и желанию Эдгара изучить наш язык. И вообще, после этой поездки у нас стало на двух друзей больше. Если позволят обстоятельства, и мы снова попадем в Южную Америку, то путешествовать мы обязательно будем с ними.
А всем желающим активно попутешествовать в Эквадоре и его окрестностях однозначно как своих друзей рекомендуем "SUN AND SNOW EXPEDITIONS". Уверяем-не пожалеете.

“Hola Ekaterina,
Jade and I are home now. We wanted to thank you for all your organizational support that led to a great adventure/vacation. We especially appreciated you escorting us to and from the airport, minimizing some of the stress of travel. Despite being seasick in the Galapagos and at home we had a memorable time and we got some fabulous pictures.
If you and Edgar are coming to or passing through Vancouver one day, please don't hesitate to send us an e-mail.
Thanks again, Best Regards
Stewart and Jade”

“Hi you two.
We had such an amazing trip it has been difficult to be home – we’re both moping around like sad puppy dogs. Please don’t hesitate to be in touch if you decide to come north - We would welcome a visit from you…
… Both Darren and I have been paid to be naturalists here in Canada for elderhostels, university extension courses, school groups, etc., and we both have a keen interest in all aspects of natural history and we understand the work that goes into being a guide. I know we have mentioned that we were very impressed with Vinicio – he really was a star because he knew about more than just birds – he was conversant in natural history generally. He was also very thoughtful to all the participants needs – making sure everyone saw or had a chance to see everything and preparing us for what we would be doing each day. But most importantly, he had a genuine enthusiasm for teaching people about natural history – that was the key element for us… We had the best guide when it was the most important, and we had a terrific time all around. Thanks again!

“Hola, Ekaterina! We just wanted to let you know that we are safely home and still enjoying the memories of our wonderful holiday. We really appreciated all your efforts, and found the two tours particularly interesting. Your husband was very good at looking out for us, especially in the crowds at the cemetery. I also thought Pablo was very well-informed about the local history and culture. I hope you do not mind, but we have given the name of your agency to a couple of people... Thank you again for all your ssistance; it was lovely to meet you!

“Katy y Silvia,
Con mucho agrado quiero compartir lo que los Doherty escribieron acerca del tour.
Me siento muy bien de tenerles a ustedes como equipo. Hicieron un excelente trabajo. Gracias mil.
Esto es lo que me escribieron. Rene.
Quito:
The Quito and vicinity tour plan was excellent. Our accommodations were outstanding. We wish we had planned an extra couple of days in the area. There was a lot more diversity that we anticipated. Our only regret is that we were unable to take full advantage of them. The transportation was fine.
Our guide in Quito was Hugo. Hugo is very knowledgeable about Quito, Ecuadorean culture and plants/trees/flowers. He was quite committed to following the set itinerary, and it took a bit of persuasion to convince him we were not that tightly attached to a schedule. We did take time to watch the changing of the guard at the presidential palace---quite impressive. Our tour of Quito was great. The churches are magnificent…
…All in all, we had a very enjoyable experience. This trip was customized for Shirley as we requested. We think you did a good job. As you know most American and probably other foreign tourists travel to Ecuador to see the Galapagos Islands or to do just birding. We found Ecuadorean culture and history to be very exciting as well. We have recommended to our friends that the culture side of Ecuador be included in their travel plans. Thanks for helping up have a great travel experience in your country.
Mike and Shirley”

Nein wirklich, die haben nix negatives gefunden sondern alles war bestens!
Herzlichen Dank und liebe Gru?e

„Die Berge Ecuadors zählen zu unseren erfolgreichsten Bergreisen - fast alle, die über das nötige alpinistische Können verfügen, erreichen die gewünschten Gipfelziele. Eine seit Jahren bewährte Akklimatisationstaktik, unsere hervorragenden einheimischen Partner und nicht zuletzt die Motivation der Teilnehmer „garantieren“ fast die „Erfolgsbilanz“ an den großen Vulkanen Ecuadors“.

”Once again, thanks so much for the wonderful trip. I will soon be showing my slides to some of my faculty colleagues, and will give your company a plug (plug=slang for recommendation).
Very best regards,

Hola Ekaterina:
Kathy and I are still pinching ourselves to see if we are awake...Did we really go to Ecuador? Yes we did, and we are very pleased with how you met us and helped us along the way. Your service and smile was greatly appreciated. I will be recommending you to some friends that may travel your way soon.
Here is a photo of Kathy and I in Cuyabeno jungle...I would go back to the jungle anytime, a truly amazing place. All the best to you, and please give Edgar our best wishes also.
