"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the Copper Canyon trip you put together for us and to tell you that everyone had a most wonderful time. The accommodations, the food, the drivers, everyone and everything was just terrific and we have never had a better time. One thing I would especially like to do is to say that Alejandro Granados was one of the best guides we had ever had. You are very fortunate to have him in your employ as he really made the trip for us. He did everything perfectly and he went beyond expectations in taking care of all of us, getting us good restaurants to eat in and in all showing us around. If you see him please give him our best and say we would love to have him on another trip if one should evolve." C. Henry, NM-Mar.07
