Peru Cultural, religious historic sites Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Cultural, religious historic sites Peru tours
Cherrylyn O. | Traveled in June
I had a wonderful adventure in Peru . Our lovely group saw interesting and exciting things every day. The food and accommodation were excellent and the transport was spacious and comfortable. The experience was greatly enhanced by the humour and patience of our excellent tour leader Julio Cezar Yabar - we all appreciated his hard work and professionalism. A highlight for me was seeing condors in Colca Canyon. Thank you Explore . I will travel with you again
Barry | Traveled in June
What an epic and memorable trip. Well planned too in that the itinerary and our great tour leader, Pabel, gave everyone a chance to get used to the altitude. As a result everyone was able to complete the Inca Trail without suffering from altitude sickness. Another stand out point was that up until the last day of the trail the itinerary and Pabel somehow ensured we stayed away from other walkers (and there are quite a lot!) so we still were able to experience the remoteness and stunning beauty of the route on our own! We've been away with Explore on a number occasions and would certainly recommend them. Even on the rare occasions where there have been problems they've been swiftly dealt with - always the sign of a good company.

Nilton, our Tour Leader in Peru was Excellent! He was always very organized but always very understanding and accommodating to the Group. Juan, our Tour Leader in Quito was Excellent! However, Juan had a hard time with all the variables associated with going to the Galapagos Islands, starting with Avianca Airlines, the always changing weather, and the restrictions from the Galapagos Rangers. We had 5 Galapagos Experts during our 5 days on the Galapagos Islands but 2 of them really stood out and were Wonderful! Shout out to Diana and Mayari!!!
Brian Worek | Traveled in June
A challenging and rewarding trek made unforgettable by an excellent team of guides and porters. Over 4 days of trekking we saw enormous and beautiful Andes mountains, countless flora, many birds, llamas, coati, and several Inca archeological sites, concluding with Machu Picchu. The Inca sites on the trail were much more secluded than Machu Picchu and we had time to explore them at our leisure. The Inca trail itself is an impressive feat - a stone path tracing through the mountains, up & down slopes. Climbing a set of Inca stairs at high altitude in a cloud forest was an unforgettable experience. I recommend having a base level of fitness and using trekking poles to better enjoy the hike.
