Peru Tours for Experienced Travelers

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.

Myriam in Galapagos was the most amazing tour leader. Really helpful and supportive when I ended up with food poisoning - practical but not fussing. She told us so much about the places and was so proud of her country Ecuador. It was a joy to hear her. Nilton in Peru was equally helpful when our bags went missing for the first 5 days! The trip was really full on and had so much moving but it was needed to fit everything in. Make sure you pack light! Prepare for lots of early starts and quick turn arounds. Even though it says moderate it’s as full on as some full on tours! The scenery was incredible. From the mountains in Peru and Machu Picchu to volcanoes in Ecuador. The Galapagos were stunning. Isabela is so very beautiful. Wildlife everywhere you look through the whole trip. Every day is just wow. Some hotels were a little basic. The one in Quito had no lift and arriving in the middle of the night had no one to help with bags. The stair carpet was loose and stair rail wobbly so a bit dodgy. A couple we had no hot water and one the breakfast was very basic, though they were all clean and had comfortable beds.

Great tour director . Peru wonderful and trip well planned. Santiago was a bit of an anti climax after leaving the wonders of Peru , however still great and Valparaiso and wine tour fabulous. Buenos Aires amazing and it would have been great to have had an extra night. Some days we had way too much food so was a bit of a waste. Maybe cut down on a couple of the dinners. The restaurant in Cusco sensational but our final dinner in Rio was terrible. It was a bit annoying having set menus with only a couple of choices especially when you read their menu online but don’t get to experience the full range of food. I understand this can be difficult for the restaurants but they should be able to cater for large groups. Our guides were all brilliant and accomodation was fabulous. Loved the hotel in Santiago but Cusco a bit of a let down. We had a very small room at Iguazú Falls. I found the room variations in the group at the same hotel could be a bit unfair but this happened only a couple of times. These are only minor points. This was an amazing trip and it is one I will remember for a very long time. Well done Lucury Gold

This was an amazing tour. The quality, knowledge and caring from all the guides was sensational particularly . The pace was perfect with multiple night stays giving time to enjoy each location. My only critism is that although the quality of the food was fabulous there were some days that I felt there was just too much, particularly days when there was both an included lunch and dinner. The most disappointing meal was the fair well dinner in Rio. I would not recommend Luxury Gold using it again. This was the second Luxury Gold tour I have done and I will certainly look forward to another in the future. The quality is always excellent and I would recommend the tour to anyone interested in enjoying the culture and scenery of South America.

A wonderful first-class trip! Awesome itinerary, top hotels, superb concierge and all the stress of handling luggage and airport hassles taken out of our hands to make it a fantastic holiday. The guides and local tours were great. I enjoyed every minute.
