Lima 10-Day Tours and Trips

excellent itinerary. We spent 2 days in Machu Picchu. Most tours only spend one day which is not enough. Our booked hotels were excellent as were the meals. But most important were our guides and . They were fantastic. They knew their history very well and they knew how to pace our group, not only because of the altitude but because of the ages in our group. I think that I was the oldest (82). We spent 2 days in Lima, 2 days in the sacred valley, then on to Machu Picchu for 2 days. The last 3 days were spent in Cusco at the Marriott Convento, 2 blocks from the main square. You even had the option of visiting Rainbow mountain altitude 16,500ft. near Cusco. We even were booked on the restaurant carriage of the train to Machu picchu for a great meal.

Everything was great, except 1 hiccup at the hotel in Cusco. From the look, it's nice. But not functional. Faucet wasn't proportional, so when the water ran, the whole counter got wet & ran down to the bathroom floor. The mattress kept sliding away from the bed. The hotel dining area was leaking when raining. We could hear people outside talking from our room. Other than that, the rest was perfectly fine.

Thank you very much for the wonderful trip to Peru! We were in the exclusive situation of being able to enjoy the trip as a private adventure, because apart from us two only the respective tour guide and the driver / s were there, no other participants. Everything was well organized, the hotels with good / very good standard. Thanks also to the professional and safe drivers who have always brought us well to our respective destinations and provided us well on the way. Special thanks to our tour guides, without whose comprehensively transmitted knowledge the journey would have been only half as intresting: - Viktor Aranda - interesting and varied information about Lima and the Inca culture, - Ronny Vizcarra - always in a good mood, with the ability to inspire the fellow travelers. May he keep his humor and his dreams would be! - Hermann Bouroncle - just one day, but with lots of information about the country and its people. - Benito Gonzales - excellent, full of profound knowledge that he was able to convey well. All the best for him, always good harvests and possibly one or two Wuawua !!! - Anani Tarraga - very good knowledge, unobtrusive mediated. She showed us the most beautiful corners of Machu Picchu and offered some more highlights on the journey. A strong woman with a big heart, whom we wish the best for the future.

Overall, had an excellent time and highly recommend G Adventures Geluxe tour! I am a very experienced traveler, but you really need a tour operator to see Peru / Machu Picchu / Inca Trail, and G Adventures is the best! I saw many other tour groups along the way, and they seemed to be larger and/or having lower quality experiences / food / accommodations. G Adventures Geluxe is not cheap, but it's worth the cost - accommodations, food, and experiences were excellent. And I was absolutely blown away by the food, accommodation, and attention to detail on the Inca Trail....five star experience from the tents to warm sleeping bags to the absolutely amazing meals. Shout out to our CEO, our guide on the trek, our chef, and the porters who worked SO hard to make our trip comfortable!!! (Note: despite all the comforts, it is still camping/glamping and difficult hiking, so take that into consideration when deciding if this is for you.)

A perfectly organized trip, with an optimized schedule to make the most diverse discoveries in 15 days. Well done, Camille, for choosing the hotels, partners, and especially the treks that matched our expectations and the different levels in our group. Everything was spot on. We made the most of it by following the road book. Thanks to the guides, and once again, great job, Camille, for your kindness and attentiveness.

Great trip. Beautiful archeological sites and cities included in the itinerary. Would have been helpful for many travelers to know that for the two nights at Machu Picchu you will need an overnight bag for the train ride and hotel stay as your luggage is likely too large for the train to Machu Picchu. Cusco was a great city to walk around and sample a lot of good restaurants.
