Customer Reviews
We had a fantastic trip to Peru and the Amazon Jungle. Our guide in Peru, Lyss, was amazing. So helpful and very knowledgeable. There were no questions she could not answer. Also there were problems with some flights and lost luggage and Lyss kept in touch and helped sort out all the issues for everyone in a very efficient and effective way. I would absolutely recommend Lyss as a fantastic and lovely guide.
Our trip to Peru was absolutely wonderful and full of unforgettable moments. A true highlight was visiting Lake Titicaca, exploring the floating Uros Islands, and meeting the Taquile Island community — a magical and authentic experience. Everything ran smoothly overall, though travel logistics could be improved slightly with a little less reliance on public transport. Our leader, Lyss, was exceptional from start to finish — warm, attentive, and always ready to help. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. Accommodation was good throughout. Explore usually chooses charming, locally run hotels full of character, which I really appreciate. While the Hilton was perfectly fine, it didn’t have quite the same local feel I’ve come to love on Explore trips. Overall, a great trip that I would highly recommend.
Our guide Lyss Torres was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She made the trip so wonderful. She went out of her way to help when things went wrong, lost luggage on arrival at Lima. We couldn’t have managed without her help as LATAM airlines were very unhelpful. There were long journeys but we were prepared and they were broken down into acceptable sections. The overnight bus was perfectly okay and I slept most of it. Overall an amazing experience and I would recommend it, just read the itinerary in detail.
A really comprehensive, interesting tour of Peru but a bit rushed in places and exhausting. In particular, we had no time at all in Lima and not enough time in Nazca. Flights to Peru with Avianca are often delayed (ours was by 24 hours) so I'd advise scheduling an extra day at least at the beginning of this trip to relax and see something of Lima.
