Avoid SAS travel at all costs
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/06/2005
Hi,
I have traveled extensively around the world and my experience with SAS travel was one of the worst. I am an experienced backpacker and I would have traded doing the Inca Trail for any other trail I had previously done. I booked a trip with them three months in advance and paid my deposit up front. My expectations were high but upon arriving to the office, I was told that by SAS that they had not purchased enough passes due to an error on their behalf and therefore I would be missing out on my dream. The Peruvian Government does not allow trail passes to be issued on the spot, so if the Tour Operator makes a mistake, you are out of luck. I was shell-shocked. They said they would gladly refund my money, but this trip was more than money. It was a failed dream. It was a major disappointment. Just wanted to warn others of the low quality of this company, so other fellow travelers do not meet the same fate.
