Overall a great trip with a phenomenal CEO in JC however the Puno portion of the trip and the kayaking left a bad taste in the mouth. It very much felt that we were being shipped to different locations just to give people money for things we didn?t want and the kayaking itself was just an hour and a half of straight paddling from one island to another. I would recommend avoiding Puno if possible.
Guiliano was absolutely amazing. I couldn't have asked for anything more from the trip! There is some long drives as stated but the views and the stops you make are unreal!
Our travel agent, Lucila, designed the best trip ever. Everything was just perfect—from the hotels to the wild experiences. We enjoyed the trip so much; every day felt like a dream. I look forward to organizing a new adventure around the world with Lucila.
Everything was just AMAZING!
Thank you, Lucila and team!

Our family of three (including our 1 2 year old daughter) had a wonderful time with G Adventures during our trip to Peru. Our CEO, Gloria was very nice and organized. The other families in the tour were also very friendly and all the kids got along great. We saw a great many things in Peru- from night-time hikes in the rainforest to chocolate making in Cusco. Our day in Machu Pichu was very beautiful and it was a visit we were very much looking forward to. I felt the tour was very well organized and I was impressed with how well behaved all the kids were- especially on traveling days. Overall, this was our first family tour and definitely not our last- I don't think I could have organized a better tour by myself and really appreciated the luxury of having all bookings and reservations done for me. Thank you!
Initially before booking the trip I thought it was extremely overpriced.
However(our tour guide) was fantastic. He made the trip worth every penny and was extremely organised and knowledgeable. The locations were great, and the activities were really cool.
was a fantastic character, and became a friend by ensuring we all had fun. He looked after and catered for everyone’s needs and requirements, promoting safety above all else, and more than once went the extra mile to ensure we all had a great time (joining myself at CrossFit and his traditional dance moves were personal highlights).
I hope he gets the recognition he deserves, as I would love to book a similar trip with Contiki in future because of this great experience.
I would also recommend that you include huacachina in future - I went there on my own and it was one of the coolest experiences - maybe this could be added as an extra at the beginning of the trip.
Dare to live one of the best experiences in the jungle of Cusco, this 7-day package, will show you the most amazing places that combine culture, nature, and customs of the surrounding towns that we will cross once we are on route. Thus, we will visit part of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, such as Chinchero, Maras and Moray.
And then, head to one of the fantastic adrenaline-filled adventures, the Inca Jungle route.

End this tour in Cusco and enjoy our drop off service to the airport.
As my wife mentioned, we made this tour to Argentina and absolutely loved it. The tour is great because it combines three destinations that we were willing to visit this time in Argentina which were Buenos Aires city, Iguazu Falls and the northern region of the country, which are all very different from each other. Great experience!
