PERU
Which route to take. Where to stay. How to handle the altitude. When to do the Sacred Valley from Cusco and how long to stay. What to expect when you arrive in Aguas Calientes. The timing of all of it.
Most travelers plan this blind, make a few wrong calls, and end up with a trip that works but misses the magic. The altitude alone derails people who did not prepare for it properly.
Peru has one of the great food cultures on earth, and I have never eaten so much or so well on a single trip. Lima alone is worth the flight.
I traveled Peru solo, which should tell you something about how accessible and rewarding it is for the prepared traveler. And the Hiram Bingham train by Belmond through the Sacred Valley? Non-negotiable. Full stop.
I advise on how to reach Machu Picchu, where to stay, how to battle the altitude before it battles you, and how to structure the Sacred Valley and Cusco so the whole trip flows. And once you arrive, there is another layer most people do not know about.
Machu Picchu has different circuits, designated routes through the site, and each one offers a different experience. I help you choose the circuit that fits the traveler you are and what you want out of your visit, plus how to get your tickets and how to avoid the lines. These are the intricate decisions that make or break Peru, and they are exactly what I handle.
And the culture and cuisine are part of the experience. I will be honest: I tried cuy, the local guinea pig, once and will never do it again. But I will make sure you have the chance to decide for yourself.
"I plan a vacation the way I run a sales pipeline. Obsessively. And none of it would have come together the way it did without Christine. In sales we talk about the value of an expert, the person who has done the thing a hundred times and can tell you what is actually worth your money. Christine is that for travel."
"Christine planned our 30th anniversary Mediterranean cruise on Virgin Voyages for 45 of our closest friends and family, and it was exceptional from start to finish. She coordinated everything, the cruise, flights, transfers, hotels in Athens and Barcelona, and private tours. She even arranged a private cocktail reception onboard on the evening of our anniversary."
"My boyfriend woke me on the eve of my birthday and said, pack, you and the girls are going to Paris and Milan today. He had not booked anything. My first response was to panic. Then I called Christine. She booked our flights, secured 5-star hotels in both Paris and Milan surrounded by the best shopping, and a Michelin-starred restaurant for an unforgettable birthday dinner. She made sure we made our flights and was on the phone the moment we landed in Paris. We could not have done it without you."
"When we decided to celebrate our milestone birthdays in Europe, we entrusted Christine with planning it. She arranged private museum tours in Paris, exclusive vineyard visits in Bordeaux, and private drivers throughout. When weather cancelled a scheduled boat ride, she responded swiftly with a private chef experience instead."
"The itinerary took us through Izmir, Cappadocia, Bodrum, and Istanbul, with sunrise hot air balloon rides, exclusive cave lodging, a sunset Bosphorus cruise, and private tours of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Every aspect was elevated by Christine's commitment to luxury. If you are seeking world-class service and luxury at every step, this is the one to trust."
"She helped us curate a 25-day trip throughout Italy, France, and the Netherlands with ease, and our travel was equally seamless. Highly recommend."
"As someone who usually stresses over every detail of trip planning, handing over the reins for our anniversary getaway felt like a big deal. But trusting Christine to plan our trip to Marbella and Istanbul turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made. From luxe accommodations to a thoughtfully curated tour, every part of the trip felt elevated, without me having to obsess over every detail."
"My recent trip to Guyana was nothing short of extraordinary. What began as a birthday adventure became a meaningful journey of discovery and connection to my family's history. What impressed me most is that Christine listened carefully to what I hoped to experience and partnered with trusted local experts who brought the vision to life flawlessly."
"My husband and I traveled to Turkey on a group trip organized by BonVoyage Christine, and the experience exceeded every expectation. We explored breathtaking ancient cities, stayed in beautiful hotels, and enjoyed incredible food throughout. I would absolutely travel with BonVoyage Christine again."
"hristine planned an amazing 5-star multi-generational family trip over Christmas break, through Cairo, Luxor, and Sharm El Sheikh. I would highly recommend."
"From the airport pickup to three wonderful days, the hotels were lovely and in great locations. Thank you, Christine, for a wonderful trip."
"Her attention to detail and her ability to stretch your budget without diminishing the quality of the experience is something I have never seen before. I am currently wrapping a 10-day trip to Turkey, and it has been five-star treatment throughout."
"The industry is inundated with many who call themselves travel planners. However, few are truly called to do this work and do so with excellence. BonVoyage Christine is one of the few. No longer will I spend hours planning my own vacations."
"Working with BonVoyage Christine was an absolute dream. She handled every detail from start to finish, making everything feel effortless on my end. Highly recommend."
