Peru Art and Architecture Tours 2023/2024

“The briefing was very informative and they went out of their way to pick me up from my accommodation. The food on the trek was mind blowing. The chef, Sebastian, made sure we all had a culinary experience, incorporating a wide range of Peruvian cuisine. I ate better on my trek than my entire time in Cusco. This experience definitely wouldn’t have been possible without our porters. Caramelo was our head porter and made sure everything ran efficiently. They did much more than carry our bags, supplying us with whatever needed and cheering us on every time we left camp. They provided an energy and spirit on the trek that made us all feel like family. Most of all, the person that made this experience the most memorable was our guide, Lizandro. From the very beginning he was very personable and extremely knowledgeable. He left us feeling like what we participated in was much more than a trek but also partaking and walking in the footsteps of history. He provided much insight not only into Incan history but also it’s ties into modern day Peruvian life. His enthusiasm and sense of humor made him a joy to be around and I will miss him being a part of my day. I will definitely be booking more treks with him in the future! Everyone on his team made us feel very appreciated and explained how impactful and supportive our tourism was to them. When you book a tour with them you are doing much more than an expedition. You are supporting local livelihoods and gaining a family. They truly cultivated an experience that I will never forget.”

“Firstly, I rarely take the time to write reviews. I was extremely impressed by every aspect of my trek with this tour company, from pre-hike information and briefings to every aspect of the 4day 3night Inca Trail hike. The guide, Rolando, was incredibly knowledgable, flexible, patient, kind, and encouraging. He allowed hikers to go at their own pace, making sure porters were there to keep an eye on those who weren't directly in his site. The meals were enormous and delicious! I'd never done a multi-day trek before and this company definitely spoiled us...waking us up with coca tea, providing us with warm water to wash up, and a tent set up with a table and chairs for meals. The entire staff was excellent. I should note two situations that arose that they managed perfectly. The first is that I sprained my ankle just 2 weeks before the hike. The staff was quick with their communication and creative with providing alternative experiences to still be able to see Machu Picchu. Luckily, in the end I was still able to do the hike. When the hike was over, we sat down for lunch and were notified that the train personnel was striking so we'd either have to wait until tomorrow to hopefully catch a train then or hike another 2 hours to another town where the tour company's minivan would have access to pick us up. We were very thankful that we were with such a great reputable company because they provided us with a solution to get back the same day, which other hikers did not have. All in all, I can't say enough positive things about this company. They are really top notch.”

“The trip was good. We saw alot of sights, however I feel the trip was rushed. We were asked to get up very early and the driver/guide was often late making us sit around while we missed breakfast. Also they do not stop for bathroom breaks for food. They just keep going. On one trip from the train station to the hotel the guide told us we would stop for bathroom break on the way, he did not then, when asked again he said 5 minutes only, which turned over never or 1 1/2 hour later when we go to hotel. The guide left the bus about halfway on the ride because he was near his house. The happened with several guides. Guides tell you things to keep you quiet. English not the best.”
