Adrian Gallop
Latin American Tour Guide & Photographer
"Half-Peruvian, tall, amiable and an experienced trekker, Adrian was the perfect travelling companion."
- Hugh Thomson, 'The White Rock'
"His detailed knowledge and love of Latin America, its topography, indigenous groups, culture (ancient and modern) and his capacity to reflect thoughtfully on his experiences are exceptional."
"Adrian, your experience and knowledge has really made our trip. Your patience and passion came shining through and turned a 'pile of stones' into living history. Most of all your attention, consideration and good humour really has made this one of our most memorable holidays."
"He was considerate and helpful. Showed concern and went out of his way. As a tour guide I would rate him very highly, possibly the best I have ever travelled with."
"We were impressed by his knowledge and analysis of Latin America."
"Adrian was an excellent guide who catered to the whole group and endeavoured to make the trip to Mexico a magical experience by sharing his knowledge of its history, culture, geography and wildlife, and illustrating it so well on site."
"Adrian was an ideal tour leader, both friendly and relaxed but efficient. Made an effort to mingle with all members of a large group. Also, a good sense of humour."
"Adrian was brilliant, he had time for everyone and tried to accommodate all our wishes. He was also very good company and obviously widely travelled and very well read."
"Adrian is a first class tour leader. Right balance of care with allowing freedom. I particularly appreciated his interest in photography and wildlife."
"Unfailingly informative, friendly, efficient, helpful, good humoured, resourceful and charming, Adrian always appeared calm and confident while working hard behind the scenes to deliver flawless arrangements."
"Adrian was exceptional - probably the best we have experienced anywhere in the world."
"You got us started in Mexico, we will never forget it. You educated us, fed us and cared for us so well. Thank you. Oh, and another thing, someone said: " The finest tour leader in the world". Exactly."
"It was great to be able to ask him any question about the country and what we were seeing and to get a comprehensive and authoritative response."
"Adrian was very personable, knowledgeable and competent. I soon had high expectations that all travel arrangements would go smoothly as Adrian was working hard behind the scenes to ensure that they would. Adrian is the perfect tour guide!"
"Adrian was truly outstanding and probably the best guide I have ever travelled with."
"His passion for the continent oozed from every pore and his knowledge of the culture, geography and particularly the history and politics of South America is incredible. His nightly brefings for our schedule were full and helpful and we felt fully prepared at all times."
"We can't rate Adrian highly enough - off the scale! Exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful throughout."
