Excellent. Enjoyed the diverse country, accommodation, sites visited especially Titicaca and of course Machu Picchu. Zema is quietly confident and very competent. Handles diverse characters really well. Lunches included were at outstanding restaurants. Tolerable delays waiting for rides and minor inconveniences dragging luggage through narrow streets etc.

I just returned from an incredible trip to Argentina and Brazil with Contiki, and I can’t recommend it enough! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, from the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires to the stunning landscapes of Rio de Janeiro. Every activity was amazing, whether we were exploring the iconic landmarks or enjoying exhilarating adventures. The food was a highlight, with delicious local dishes that truly showcased the culture. The blend of rich traditions and friendly locals made the experience even more special. I made some great friends along the way, and our tour guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and always ready to ensure we had the best time possible. Overall, this trip was an unforgettable journey filled with adventure, culture, and great company. If you’re looking for a memorable travel experience, I highly recommend traveling with Contiki!

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.

My husband and I had a wonderful trip, but our friends, who aren't as physically fit, had a hard time in the high altitudes - something to consider if you are older and not in good shape. The country is beautiful, the people were very friendly, and our main and local guides were wonderful.
