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!

Our travel agent was great - she was very responsive and efficient in creating a trip exactly as we were hoping to have it. We truly had an unforgettable experience once we wer in Peru. We were met at the airport by a charismatic and helpful driver, enjoyed a day tour of Lima and liked our hotel. The Nazca Lines, Paracas, and the Ballestas Islands were all places that we never would have known to go, and truly a unique experience. Cuzco was stunning - the city, culture, and history were like nothing we've ever seen and the Sacred Valley/Ollantaytambo were gorgeous. Machu Picchu was truly an experience that we will never forget. The trip was enjoyable and seamless. I highly recommend this company!

I had the most incredible trip designed by this travel agency. I enjoyed two weeks seeing normal tourist sites and off the beaten path sites, had some spiritual experiences, and enjoyed nature. The accommodations were beyond my expectations. The Amazon Rain forest was made even more special by staying at the resort there. Beautiful cabanas, great food, and a staff that goes out of their way to make sure your having fun, safe, and see as much as possible. They were encouraging but not pushy when we went to the walk in the tree tops (don't miss this fun). Then I went hiking in the Andes for 3 1/2 days. At 58 I wasn't sure if I could handle the hike but I wanted to try. I had a whole staff including one person assigned to me and a shaman to provide the spiritual experiences I was interested in learning about. I didn't even have to haul my own backpack. The cook made incredible gourmet meals. They set up camp, even an air mattress, and then tore down. They brought a horse and a handler. I was able to visit Inca ruins in many locations and I didn't have to share them with anyone else. Our last night we stayed overlooking a beautiful Inca ruins, watching the sunrise there sent chills through me. Most exciting and challenging camping experience I've ever had. Then imagine staying in a museum. Well that's the hotel in Cusco. And they had the best Pisco Sours. Of course I went to Machu Picchu, a must see even though there are tons of people, and the bus ride up and down is wild. Lake Titicaca was beautiful. Then I was picked me up for the last part of the trip. The Arwana Paracas Resort is a stunning stay. I watched dolphins playing in the lagoon. The dune buggy ride was fun and terrifying but watching the sunset was worth it. The Nazca Lines were everything I'd hope they'd be!!! Each team added personal touches like food choices and unexpected sites. They each shared their perspective of Peru that made the trip even more special. I traveled alone and I was taken care of so well I felt safe the entire time. I feel like I've left part of me in Peru. Everyone was kind and helpful.

We would highly recommend this Peru travel company to help you to organize your trip. We came back from a two week-long trip to Peru a few days ago. We have been independent travelers in the past so this was our first experience in being accompanied by guides for a good part of the vacation. Paul from this agency contracted with the local tour operator to arrange transportation and guides. His dossier contained everything we needed to know, including suggestions for tipping, places to enjoy a delicious meal, and more. All of our guides were very intelligent, passionate about what they did, had a great deal of pride for their country, and highly knowledgeable about the sites, history, culture, and traditions of their country. We not only enjoyed the tours, but also learned quite a bit about the Peruvian educational and political systems through our discussions. The guides were respectful and easy to share our time with. My only complaint is that their English was so good that we were less apt to use Spanish, although that was counterbalanced by their willingness to teach us a little Quechua! Special kudos to our guide who supported us when one family member became ill enough with altitude sickness to have to stay overnight at a clinic/hospital. We traveled to Lima, Cusco, Aguas Calientes, Sacred Valley, and Puerto Maldonado. While we enjoyed some activities in Lima, we probably could have shortened our three night stay there to either venture to another location or stay longer in one of the other places. Cusco was simply lovely and we had great meals and tours there and in the Sacred Valley. We were treated to a delicious lunch at a new place right outside of Moray. We loved seeing Machu Picchu but also were glad that we stayed an extra day to climb Huayna Picchu. Our stay in Puerto Maldonado was lots of fun--our days were full with many ecoguide-led outdoor activities, including a hot trek through mud to a boat ride (fun!!), a nighttime walk, a canopy walk, and boat rides (looking for caimans at night was a highlight). Overall, we had an excellent trip which would not have been possible without Paul's help. He listened well to our wishes, made suggestions based upon what we said, and arranged for wonderful accommodations for our family. We suggest that you use this travel agency to book your next adventure. And also highly suggest that you consider Peru as a fun and varied country to visit!

I loved my trip to Peru! My travel agency's suggestions and arrangements were for the most part excellent. I traveled solo for 11 days and visited Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca.
My hotel in Cuzco was comfortable, though I wished it were a little closer to the Plaza.. The first morning in Cuzco, my wake-up call was somehow forgotten, and the first call I got was from my guide telling me she was downstairs waiting for me. She told me to relax and we would work things out, and to take my time. We left late, but it didn't detract from wonderful ceremony with a local shaman. We drove up above Cuzco and hiked up to a spot where Asencio performed a ceremonial blessing with my guide translating his words. An unforgettable and moving experience that's difficult to describe! My guide was superb!
From there I traveled by bus with a group to the Sacred Valley, stopping at Pisac, a colorful market, and Ollayntaytambo (both worth seeing!) before settling into my hotel, a former convent with beautiful gardens and a chapel right next door.
The following day I rock-climbed for the first time. Gorgeous views of the Sacred Valley and river running through it, while climbing 1300 feet up the rock face! This isn't for those who fear heights, but if you don't, this is a fantastic way to climb for the first time, then descend via 6 zip lines! A must do!
Traveling to Machu Picchu via Vistadome was next on the itinerary. The train was first-class---very comfortable, with excellent service. The vistadome allows passengers to see the amazing views of the Andes while en route to Agua Calientes and Machu Picchu. Upon arrival I was greeted by our guide who arranged for bags to go to the hotel, and led us to the bus that takes you to Machu Picchu. I knew Machu Picchu would be amazing and it didn't disappoint. No words really to describe its beauty. I opted to go back the second day without a guide to continue exploring on my own.
After a return train trip to Cuzco, I left the following day for an all-day bus ride to Puno that included stops at varied and interesting sights--a beautiful church with painted ceilings, a colonial bridge, a pre-Incan temple, at the top of the pass (over 14,400 feet), a tasty lunch buffet where we were serenaded by Peruvian music and more.
After an overnight in Puno, I was picked up at the hotel and taken to the dock for an overnight stay on Amantani Island. Unfortunately, the transfer process broke down. These guides seemed to be subcontracted by my travel agency and had a different company name. The guide left me with the driver who was supposed to connect me with the group and the boat I was going to take. The guide seemed overbooked, and the driver disappeared while I was buying gifts for the host family, and I was left wandering around the dock with a crowd of people and unmarked boats, not knowing where to go. I finally asked one of the vendors to make a call and I eventually figured out which boat I was supposed to be on. Once settled on the boat, I thoroughly enjoyed the visits to Uros and Taquile and the overnight on Amantani was fascinating and a wonderful ending to my Peruvian trip!
Strengths:
Overall,my travel agency did a great job of arranging a customized trip for me. I'm not one for extended group tours and this itinerary allowed me to have just the right combination of tours and solo time. Guides were excellent--knowledgeable, courteous. I ended up changing my itinerary pretty late in the game and my agency was very accommodating which was very much appreciated.I felt I got great value overall for the price.Suggestions:
I wished I had my travel documents in hand before arriving in Peru. I would have felt more comfortable with having them before I left the US. Transfers could be better organized. I had difficulty finding my travel agency in a crowd of 50-70 or more signs. Maybe use a sign that would stand out? Also during the transfer process at the Puno harbor, the guide turned over to the driver who spoke no English and then disappeared, leaving me with no information about where to go.Hotels selected could have been closer to the main parts of town so that walking could have been a better option.See more
