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.
Hotels were good and except for the one in Cusco, they were very well located. Itinerary was great. I was met with friendly guides and drivers at each stage. City tours were excellent.

This was such a trip of a lifetime! I am so glad I booked it and went. The weather couldn't have been any more in our favor too! Clari was such an amazing trip manager - she was so passionate about Peru and making sure we were seeing all the highlights we signed up for. The Inca trail was my favorite part of this trip, so definitely make sure you book that! You get to see so much more of the surrounding area that way of Machu Picchu. 10/10 would re-live this trip again in all of its glory!

This was my 5th Contiki and it was another unforgettable experience. The trip manager () was excellent, a true expert in all things South American. My only constructive comment is linked to the number of days spent in Buenos Aires. The add ons and city were disappointing compared to the rest of the trip. I can't believe we spent so long there. I would have much rather spend more time in the Amazon or in Rio.

Uncover the magic of two of South America's most breathtaking destinations on this extraordinary small-group journey through Ecuador and Peru. From ancient cities steeped in history to otherworldly landscapes and awe-inspiring world wonders, this adventure is filled with unforgettable moments. Begin in Quito, Ecuador’s charming capital nestled in the Andes, before flying to Baltra Island, the gateway to the legendary Galápagos Islands. Cross into Santa Cruz Island, where you'll walk among giant tortoises in their natural habitat, explore lush highlands, and marvel at dramatic volcanic landscapes. Cruise the turquoise waters around Puerto Ayora, snorkeling at La Lobería with playful sea lions, graceful sea turtles, and vibrant tropical fish. Continue your exploration with visits to North Seymour and Bachas Islands, teeming with seabirds, iguanas, and untouched beaches.

Soar over the Andes to Cusco, the historic heart of the Inca Empire. Wind through the Sacred Valley, where ancient agricultural terraces and Andean villages line the route to Machu Picchu — the mystical Lost City of the Incas, perched high among misty peaks. Back in Cusco, walk in the footsteps of emperors at the Temple of the Sun and the mighty Sacsayhuaman Fortress, where immense stones speak of a glorious past.
