Peru Family Vacations & Tours

We were extremely happy with every aspect of our trip to Peru and the outstanding assistance and support by Stuart, Satish and others at our Peru travel agency. We flew directly to Cusco and spent two nights there seeing the various sites in and around the city with a private guide, then a private guided tour to the Sacred Valley by van spending the night in Ollantaytambo. The next morning we took the train to Machu Picchu and had a private tour of the ruins followed by a stay in the wonderful Inkaterra MP Pueblo. The following day we took the train from Aguas Caliente to Cusco - a very pleasant and comfortable way to travel. The next morning we were off to the airport traveling to Puerto Maldonado for a three night stay in the Inkaterra Amazonica Reserva. We had wonderful guides with a special hats off to Jorge in Cusco and SV. Our MP guide was also excellent. We had terrific support getting around in all the locations and would highly recommend this travel company to not only our friends but to all who consider traveling to and about Peru!

This travel agency and it's owner/agent planned a fabulous Peru vacation for us (July 2018).  I'm impressed by the flexibility, customization, experience, and recommendations our travel agent provided.  He followed through with attention to all details, and he was available and expertly made required itinerary changes when we missed our connecting flight.  

We chose the destinations, hotel star level, and duration (13 days).  Our travel agent then made the itinerary proposals, giving us guidance and input.  We chose to visit the Amazon jungle and the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, staying in 4 star hotels.  We went to Tambopata and stayed at the Refugio Amazonas jungle lodge for 3 nights.  The lodge and its surroundings are beautiful.  The macaw clay lick tour is not to be missed.  We then visited charming Cusco for 2 days, allowing us to acclimate to the altitude (11,000 feet) for our trek.  We had great private tours of Cusco and the Sacred Valley with guides from the tour company.  We then had a fabulous 4 day private Inca Trail Trek, also guided by our tour company.  The hotel in Cusco was very nice and well positioned in the historic district.  Our travel agent's choice of a suite at the hotel in Aguas Clients after the trek was a luxurious treat after camping.

I give this travel company my highest recommendation.  The trip was first rate, well planned, well supported, and a good value.  I also enthusiastically recommend traveling to Peru; the sites are spectacular, the people are friendly and honest, the food is very good, and we felt safe throughout our trip.  It was a exhilarating, memorable vacation.

Our trip to South America had been in the pipeline for several years so when it came to putting it into actuality we wanted to make sure that it was just right. We hunted around to find a travel agent who could tailor a package to suit our needs. We came up with a list of 4 travel agents in 4 different countries but eventually we chose this travel agency. Our decision was based on  the the travel agency's approachability (whenever we emailed a question we always received an immediate and comprehensive response); also our agency's flexibility in being able to add or alter different options, and their friendly and helpful advice.Our contact was with Heather who made herself available to chat on Skype at all times. (It is very reassuring to be able to personalise travel arrangements - it makes it seem less like dealing with an anonymous organisation and more like chatting with a friend and mentor.)Our agent provided us with a comprehensive written itinerary which left nothing in doubt. She organised all transfers, internal flights, tours with local operators (some private, some group). At one stage when demonstrations in Cusco interrupted train and bus services, Heather immediately stepped in to organise suitable alternatives. We understand that other tourists did not fair so well and were stranded on train platforms or forced to pay for exorbitant hotel accommodation.Our 43-day tour included visits to 6 countries -  Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. Right from the onset in Quito we were met by a wonderful guide who shared his knowledge of Ecuador - its geology, its history, its politics and its food. Our agent marked the beginning of a series of friendly, well informed and entertaining tour guides from the different regions we visited.We had an amazing holiday visiting all the well known tourist sites - Galapagos, Machu Picchu, Colca Canyon, Lake Titicaca, Iguasu Falls and Rio de Janeiro. And a few maybe a little less touristy such as Paracas and the Ballestas Islands, the Peruvian Amazon basin, Nazca lines and the Bolivian Salt Lake of Uyuni.When we used bus transport it was reasonably comfortable, hotel accommodation was always clean and comfortable and airport transfers were always on time. All hotels included breakfast which naturally varied from one hotel to another but it was always quite adequate and healthy. At different times when other meals were provided such as on the Galapagos cruise, in the Amazon Basin, on Lake Titicaca and during the Sacred Valley tour the quality of the food was quite impressive.We are now considering another visit to South America - this time to Patagonia and we will definitely be looking at involving this travel agency again with our trip arrangements.Muchas gratias!
