A great and very enjoyable trip with a very good guide / tour leader
(Daniel). Such varied culture, food and scenery too. I felt like I learned
and saw a lot. My one recommendation would be to make sure you read the trip
notes carefully before you go / book. You cover a lot of ground (long
distances) at times in order to and pack everything in. So there are some
long travel days and plenty of early starts. Loved it.

I contracted the tour to Peru with a travel agency in Mexico, so I cannot comment on prices. What I can comment on is the excellent service of Lima Tours. In all the tours they were punctual, dedicated and with very friendly and educated guides. We almost couldn't do the tour to the 7-color mountain because the day we had to do it, road closures were announced due to carrier blockades. The agency, through our guide MIGUEL ANGEL planned a "madruguete" (literal), they picked us up at 3 in the morning to avoid the blockades and be able to carry out the tour. I must mention that the visit to the mountain was the most anticipated of the entire trip for my wife, so it would have been frustrating if we hadn't made it. In addition, in Cusco I forgot some things at the hotel (including money) and Lima Tours, in coordination with the hotel, sent my forgotten objects to Lima. The Lima Tours agency is highly recommended.

From start to finish this tour was well organized and packed full of things to see and experience. Tour guides were prompt, knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions. There was always someone on hand to answer questions in person or via whatsapp. So much to see and experience our family loved it and felt we had a real experience of Peru, its people, customs, food and traditions.

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.

This moderate-activity trip, beginning and ending on Baltra Island, skips the constant passenger changes and detours of many cruises, letting you fully immerse yourself in the archipelago’s wonders.
Snorkel alongside playful sea lions and reef sharks off Isla Santa Cruz and Isla Bartolome, hike volcanic trails on remote Isla Fernandina, and observe rare species like land iguanas and flightless cormorants on Punta Espinosa. Bird lovers will delight in the sight of frigatebirds, boobies, and pelicans soaring above North Seymour.
The unique selling point of this sailing tour package is its uninterrupted focus on wildlife and scenery—no distractions, just pure Galapagos magic. For nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers, this trip guarantees memories (and photos) you’ll treasure forever.

I just want to thank all Lima Tours staff for the wonderful trip we had. Everything was perfect.It is hard to pick only one place to say we like the most. Each place we have visited has something that makes it unique. Specially, with the information provided by the guides. All were great!Our journey started in Lima, a huge city with its contrasts. On the first day we had enough time to take a walk around Miraflores from our hotel to Larcomar Mall.Next day during the tour, we had the privilege of seeing the Sunday Easter parade at Plaza de Armas in front of the Cathedral. The carpets made of flowers were beautiful! We walked through the historical center, we visited the Convento, Casa de Aliaga and the Larco Museum with our guide who made the visits more interesting.We traveled to Pisco to take the small plane to see the Nazca Lines. Seeing the lines was a dream that came true. The hotel was great, the room view of the sunset was epic. Hundreds of photos taken.Next day, Islas Ballestas. I have never seen so many birds at the same time. How rich the reserve is!After that, we enjoyed our free time at the beautiful hotel and had lunch at a local restaurant in Paracas with our guide and driver, we went back to Lima. One more opportunity to taste Peruvian culinary.The following day we arrived in the picturesque Cusco city. We visited archeological sites and the Cathedral. Our guide was very conscious of our struggle to breath in such high altitude, so we walked slowly with frequent stops. Perfect!Early in the morning, we travel to Ollantaytambo to take the Vistadome train to Aguas Calientes. The train ride is a must to do in Peru.In Aguas Calientes, we met our guide who took us to a bus ride until Machu Picchu.Wow! Machu Picchu is the highlight of the trip and it was saved to the end, now I can understand why. It is hard to express in words the emotion felt when we saw the citadel at the first time. Love it! Our guide new all the best spots to take photos where didn?t have too many tourists around. All explanation given to us just made the tour more interesting. I am still thinking how ancient Peruvian people were so smart, how they knew so much!!Too soon we need to go back home, but our Peru trip will be in our memories forever.Thank you!

My wife and I took an excellent 6 Day Peru trip organized by Lima Tour. It was a private, hassle-free and enjoyable experience. Everywhere we went, we were met with and accompanied by an guide, along with a car and driver. All the hotels were superior. Even when we requested last minute changes, Lima Tours made the require arrangements. I can't find enough word to express my appreciation for the great work they did.
