Chile and Peru Tours and Trips

Excellent trip. Great itinerary, hotels, transport. Julio our leader was wonderful, one of the best I've had on many tours. The highlight of course was the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu, but I was pleasantly surprised by Arequipa and Puno.

We had an amazing time walking the Inca Trail. From the group leader Erickson to the support team, they were all fantastic. Emile looked after me so well when I was struggling with his gentle support and encouragement. He carried my rucksack for me when I was finding the ascent tough and I couldn’t have completed the trek without him.

We added a day at the beginning to do Lima, which is worth a visit. Accomodation varied, was expecting it to be all 5*, but although everything very clean, and hotel staff very friendly, it could be a bit cold without heating in smaller hotels. Your leader, Darwin, excellent, full of enthusiasm for the history of Peru, and our itinerary was rearranged to ensure we didn't miss Machu Picchu despite industrial action there. Be prepared for cold mornings and hot days in some areas in September. Overall, exceeded my expectations, and well worth a visit.

All of the staff were brilliant, from the amazing strength, hard work and organisation of the porters to the skills, intelligence and knowledge of the leaders Erikson and Emile. They really looked after us, particularly my wife who struggled on the third day in particular. They were brilliant. The food was also excellent throughout.

The tour leader, Hector, was very professional, organised, friendly and informative. I was sick at one point and Hector was very caring and supportive. I can't thank him enough. I think we all felt very well looked after throughout the tour.

where do I start!!! Peru is a country with many different places to visit, every region that we visited was totally different to the last, from seeing the Galapagos of Peru with is cute sea lions and adorable penguins to the mystery of the Nazca lines to the quiet beauty of the Inca trail, its a country that I will return to in a heartbeat.
