Sacred Valley Tours and Holidays 2018/2019

“This was by far the best tour we made before heading out to Peru. The trip included getting picked up from Airbnb and dropped off at the Vistadome train station. Then from the train station to the bus up to Machu Picchu. There was always a guide from Apu Andino wating for us. We were never left to wander what the next step was. Our guide at Machu Picchu was very knowledgeable on the history of Machu Picchu and was able to answer all our questions. After Machu Picchu it included a lunch buffet which we also enjoyed. Overall we were left with a beyond great experience.”

“What an amazing trip. We love adventure and treks, they were able to make a custom trip to offer us the dream trip. From the famous Salkantay Trek in the South of Peru to the Cordillera Blanca in the North, we were blown away by the wonderful landscapes of Peru. Thanks again for the organization, we will definitely come back for another epic trek”

“It felt like my husband and I were seeing the magical Sacred Valley and no one else was around but the people of the Andes. I love the way Aldo and Paul took the back roads, so we got to see how people really live and avoid the other tours, and stopped when we saw a festival going on, so that we could go visit. That was really special to have them do that!”

“So..........what can I say........Really was one of the best trips ever!!! I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you, Elder and everyone else for a really amazing trip. I have to say you have a really great bunch of people over in Peru who have helped us experience a trip of a lifetime. Once again thank you and keep in touch!”

“I have never done a trip with a tour group before and I was pleasantly surprised. To be honest, I had imagined long white buses full of people taking terrible pictures out of windows. I loved that we were a small group, could decide where to go, where to stop, where to eat, etc. This is definitely the way to do it because the trip was more meaningful and personalised and we got to know each other and were able to spend more time with Aldo asking questions and telling stories.”

“Aspiring Adventures demonstrated to us that they understood the importance of customer care, in fact expectations were surpassed at every turn.”

“If you are looking for a real insight into local culture and history, Aspiring Adventures has it all. Something for outdoor adventurers, foodies, history buffs, shoppers and amateur anthropologists; as well as time to explore on your own. We had a ball. Thank you Steve, Katy and the team.”

“It was an amazing trip, one of the best I've ever taken (right up there with my trek across Asia in 1990-91), and I'd have to say without question the best we've taken with the kids. I can't emphasize enough how much we appreciated Aldo and Oscar as guides, each great in his own way. Aldo is such a gentle spirit, an "old soul" in the true sense, and I especially loved what he taught us about Inca/Quechua spirituality and reverence for Pachamama. I think we all felt a bond with Aldo very quickly, and by the end he was part of the family. I felt no qualms trusting him with my children's safety on the trail, or anywhere else, which tells you everything you need to know.”

“A great introduction into the life and environment of the Peruvian people and their history. Machu Picchu was also amazing, and having Aldo get us to the best spot for the sun to rise over the mountain and light up the alter in the sun temple was something I will remember forever.”
