Peru Tours in April 2026

Our guide, Fisher, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and considerate. He took good care of us and handled each situation with confidence and calmness. The hike was more difficult than we’d expected but Machu Picchu didn’t disappoint.

Peru wasn't love at first sight, but it became something unforgettable. Lima felt chaotic but I quickly fell into rhythm. Then the Amazon hit me like another world entirely. You don’t just see nature there. You hear it and feel it pressing in around you. The nights were humid and loud, filled with the chorus of life. It was wildly outside my comfort zone but I loved it. Cusco had colonial charm and a sense of sacredness in every stone. Machu Picchu was, of course, the crown jewel. But what surprised me most? The way the guide told its story, not just facts, but legends, perspectives, reverence. This trip didn’t feel curated to be “easy.” It was immersive. Real. A little demanding at times but that’s what made it stick. These guys handled everything greatly. I came home with stories I actually want to tell not just photos to post.

Our guide was the best. Hotels in Lima and Sacred Valley were excellent choices. The hotel in Manchu Picchu was just ok. These tours tend to keep you on the go. Would have been nice to spend an extra day in Lima or the Sacred Valley.

This was quite simply the most challenging yet fabulous thing I have ever done! The Inca Trail has been on my bucket list since I first saw Machu Picchu on a poster behind my Geography Master's desk in about 1973. It's taken 52 years, but I finally got there! The trail is a challenge, no point in hiding that fact, especially the afternoon of day 2 and all of day 3, but I'm 63 and despite lots of stops to gather myself, we actually did it within the allocated time. The views along the way are spectacular but the view from the Sun Gate at the end of day 4 takes your breath away! It was difficult to leave to be honest. The following day we had our tour of the site and again, the views were unreal, including the 'real life' facsimile of that poster! I have to mention the porters. What an amazing, friendly, helpful, polite and hard working group they were. I have no names, but hopefully our guide will know who they were. Talking of our guide; Miguel (Figueroa) was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable, informative, and enthusiastic. What he doesn't know about the Inca's, the Spanish, the trail, Machu Picchu, and the flora and fauna of the region isn't worth knowing. He made the hike interesting as well as being the challenge we were expecting. He was also very patient with us, as we were a little slow at times! Thank you Miguel! I'll definitely take another trip with Explore - I just have to decide where! Finally, if anyone is reading this wondering whether to go or not, do it! You will not regret it.

Everything was organized flawlessly and we (I and my wife) enjoyed the entire tour very much. - Tour director was very experienced, friendly and professional. - This tour involved several types of vehicles; big, mid-sized buses, train and airplane. We were happily impressed by the team’s luggage handling.

Thoroughly enjoy the trip. The itinerary was well thought out. Plenty of time to allow for acclimatisation before the final highlight - the Inca Trail. Special shout out to Darwin our tour leader who goes extra mile to ensure we enjoy our trip. He is very keen to share his knowledge and love about Peru.
