5.0 - Excellent

An outstanding tour, very comfortable Coach, amazing tour guide and coach driver. The accommodation was superb, every location bought a smile. We ate we drank and we laughed throughout the tour. Being away from the main motorways was the best thing, and the couple of times we needed to use the motorway we could always rely on a great coffee stop.

Machu Picchu was the obvious highlight but I really enjoyed everywhere we went in Peru with great food and scenery along the way. Arequipa is a beautiful city to explore and the Santa Catalina convent is really interesting. The Colca Canyon is stunning and seeing the condors was an added bonus. The Uros Islands were interesting and colourful and the homestay on Taquile Island was simple and comfortable. Learning about the way of life on Taquile was fascinating. The excursion to Maras and Moray was one of my favourite things along with the visit to Misminay where we had a lesson on stargazing. Machu Picchu is stunning and finishing off in Cusco with Inti Raymi was another highlight. Our tour leader Julio was fantastic - he is really knowledgeable and was very entertaining. He also went out of his way to help the group - I had an issue with my luggage not arriving and he was so helpful. Would recommend this holiday to anyone.

We were taken to interesting historical places with guided tours and learned so much. All the tour guides were great and were always able to answer all questions, some were humorous as well. We were given a little time after the tours to poke around a little or shop if that was available. The scenery was beautiful, our bus tour guide was fantastic, and our bus driver was amazing.

The trip was well organised and managed daily. The tour Guide, the wonderful Fabio, worked hard to make everyone feel welcome and to ensure the schedule and hotels ran efficiently. This has been our second Back-Roads trip, and we've recommended the Secrets of Puglia to many friends since our return. Thanks again. Francis.
