Perfect vacation! We were traveling in a small group (two couples) and enjoyed private tours at each location. We were always greeted in each new city and the accommodations were 1st class. The local tour guides were friendly and spoke English very well. If you want a great experience in Peru - this is the tour!

The trip was fantastic, and I felt like I was able to see a lot of Peru and really experience the culture while there. The homestay and Machu Picchu were definitely the highlights!

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.
