A varied and fascinating itinerary exploring lots of different parts of Peru. Our guide, Miguel, was fabulous. He is a warm and extremely competent tour guide who looked after us superbly throughout the trip. The use of specialist guides greatly added to the experience. There is a lot of travelling with this trip and sometimes we would have liked a bit more time exploring on foot rather than using a minibus. Overall, a great trip.

The tour was amazing and super well-rounded! *personal info removed by Feefo* is an awesome tour manager, and he brought such a fun energy to the trip! For how much we did, the trip itself was well paced, with enough time to rest on our travel days.
Benjamin D. | Traveled in October
This trip was an awesome summary of Peru, but not for the faint of heart! The trip was a great summary of the various regions of Peru, the history, food, and local customs. We went to some places I honestly don't know how I would've visited if not for Contiki. The trip is no relaxing vacation though, between late nights and early mornings, this trip is best for those who seek adventure. Overall, I would definitely recommend this trip to those who aren't afraid to wake up early and explore/learn things. My tour manager *personal info removed by Feefo* really made the history, and entire journey in general very enjoyable.
