My husband and I recently returned from an awesome 11 day Cuba trip that Lori customized for the 2 of us. The charter flights to and from Cuba were timely and comfortable. We traveled under a General License people to people Visa throughout Western and Central Cuba. Our travels took us to Santa Clara, Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Varadero and ended with a 4 night stay at the famous and historical Hotel Nacional de Cuba in Havana. The beaches in Santa Clara and Varadero are beautiful; clear blue water and powder white sand. Our English speaking tour guides and private drivers were always punctual and extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Some of the trips highlights included a tour given by the chef of a Culinary School followed by coffee with he and his staff; a visit to a fire station; eating at local paladars (private, family owned restaurants) where the owners always visited with us and tours of historical sites of the Cuban Revolution. Being Ernest Hemingway fans, we visited the Havana hotel room where he spent much time writing, his finca in the countryside and his favorite bar/restaurant where he was inspired to write The Old Man and the Sea. The Tropicana Cabaret in Havana is a must see; open air, under the stars, beautiful costumes, spectacular dance routines. All the hotels, with the exception of Brisas in Trinidad, are 4 Star; very comfortable, good service, delicious food and great location. Glad we took an alarm clock because a clock in the rooms was the exception. Cobblestone streets and uneven pavement made walking difficult so a good pair of walking shoes is a must. Our American issued credit cards were not accepted but dollars were easily exchanged at hotels for Cuban Cucs. Nor did our cell phones work but for a fee, internet access is available at hotels. We are so glad we went to Cuba now. The country and culture are very interesting; it was like going back in time to the 1950s and 60s. Traveling the countryside was an experience and could be a bit slow. The Cuban mode of transportation is walking, biking, motor scooters, horse drawn carts and classic cars. The Cuban people are very friendly, welcomed us to their country and look forward to improved relations with the United States. We highly recommend this Condor Tours & Travel trip.

We just returned home from a trip that Lori helped me plan. The first part of our trip was in Panama. After speaking with Lori we decided to stay in the Gamboa Rainforest Resort for several days. Lori coordinated the transportation to get us there as well as 3 different tours while we were there - a trip to the Emberra Indians, a "jungle boat ride" on Lake Gatun, and an ariel tram ride on the resort of the property. After the time in Gamboa we transfered to Panama Ctiy. I had arranged our hotel but Lori rx. 2 tours in the city as well as a Partial Canal transfer. We were very pleased with all of our experiences. The driver and tour guides were excellent. The one issue that developed was resolved within minutes. We were very impressed. We did attend a cultural dinner show that we felt was not necessarily something we would rx to others. After our time in Panama we headed to a pre-planned cruise, transportation organized by Condor. Lori arranged a trip for us in Cartagena, and made a suggestion for a tour in Bonaire. We were pleased with both experiences. The vouchers worked well for us. There were never any problems with any of the tour providers. The individual tour guides were informative, helpful, on time, and delightful. There were 4 couples, each paying individually. This proved to be no issue. This made it easier for us. I would happily use Condor Tours and Lori for another trip.

We recently returned from a trip to Bolivia organised through Condor Travel. We wish to commend them for a putting together an amazing trip where nothing went wrong. The itinerary was full of information about what we were to see and what we needed to take. The accommodation was excellent as were the meals included. The guides were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and the drivers and their vehicles great. They were always willing to stop for photos and constantly looked for things we might be interested in. The guides spoke good English and quickly picked up on things we were interested in. They were keen for us to try local food and we would stop at local markets to purchase these. We felt it was worthwhile having the extra day at Chalalan. The staff there went out of their way to make our visit special. The meals were amazing. The guide could find even the smallest creature. We have over 2000 photos from our trip to sort. We are thinking of visiting Peru for 2 weeks in September next year and would be interested in what Condor Travel could offer. We will certainly recommend this company to others considering travel in South America.

Our experience with Condor Tours & Travel was a pleasant one. They are professional, well organized and knowledgeable. When we arrived at the airport we did not have to wait much. The driver from Gamboa was already there waiting for us. Overall, the tour guide from "Recontur" was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We had Ms. Connie on our way back from the Sheraton Bijao in Santa Clara Beach area and for our Tours in the Panama City and The Miraflores Locks. We also enjoyed the Monkey Island Jungle Boat @ the Gatun Lake with Mr. Carl from Jungle Land Tours and his Floating Lodge and the kayaking adventure. We did not know what to expect. We had a blast and the lunch was very tasty. The Panama Canal Tours were interesting and we had a great view and we were able to see the ships passing through and enjoyed the lunch too. We also stayed at the Sheraton Bijao in the Santa Clara Beach Area, but we wished we had more time to visit other areas of the country side (Interior) and the Highlands of Chiriqui. We will have to plan another vacation. We recommend Condor Tours and Travel for your next adventure.

My husband and I usually plan our trips on our own, but with back-to-back international trips approaching, we did not have time to plan our week in Patagonia. It involved multiple day tours and transfers and we simply didn’t have the resources to efficiently coordinate them. That’s where Condor came in- all we had to do was give them our desired schedule and tours, and they customized the trip for us including hotels and flights. Even if we hadn’t known which tours were available, they would have been able to suggest the best tours for us at each destination. Our trip with Condor started in Buenos Aires where we received all of our travel vouchers and tour provider names. Everything went without a hitch and all tour operators and transfer providers were professional and friendly. Further, the hotels were exactly what we requested (moderate level hotels). It was wonderful to get to Patagonia and enjoy the worry-free trip since everything was coordinated for us with reliable providers. Thanks Condor!

Condor Tours and Panama: As a seasoned traveler who normally plans our own trips along with making our own reservations, and because of a lack of enough prior information and short timing, I contacted Lori Snow from Condor Tours. I read some reviews prior to our conversation about Condor and felt comfortable that Lori could set us up properly for a two week 1st time visit to Panama. My wife and I were so thankful that we did. Her recommendations for lodging, places to see, and coordination of transportation and guides was "spot on". I discussed with Lori, who had resided in Panama City and had great knowledge of the country, what we wanted to see and do. Within a very short time, our trip was laid out, and all the time that we saved that we would have spent "making things happen on the go", gave us peace of mind and allowed for us to do more things on our own.,, Condor was great for us, easy to work with and very professional. We will definitely work with them in the near future. Rich Rosenberg Mpls
