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.

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!
Very professional services, excellent guides and with a lot of patience. All the operators of the agency are very attentive.
Despite all the bad circumstances of our trip, starting with the accident at the Lima airport that caused it to be closed for two days, they took very good care of us upon our arrival and then the closure of roads due to a national strike of carriers in the same week, they did everything they could to keep us safe and to at least be able to meet what they could after we missed many tours of our original itinerary. In the worst trip we've had in our lives, the agency did everything in its power to lessen the bad experience. I highly recommend them, I suppose that under normal circumstances, they must exceed the expectations of the tourist.

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.
