Peru Tours in November 2026

Our trip manager was just amazing, going above and beyond for every single person in the group. Peru was absolutely phenomenal but there just wasn’t enough time in Brazil. I would have liked to have spent a full week in Rio and also explored beyond Copacabana. I felt like we barely got to see any of Rio which is a shame as it’s an incredible place but not safe to explore solo so it would have been better done as a group. The early starts were very tough but it was worth it for an unforgettable experience!

An epic trip, so much packed in. Erickson our tour leader is an exceptional guide and a lovely person and he did everything he could to make our trip the best possible experience. We were so lucky to have a trip led by him and we are very grateful for all the extras, time and care he took to make the trip so special. I would recommend Explore wholeheartedly, don’t hesitate, Peru is a wonderful country.

Very-well designed itinerary, starting with a couple of long coach journeys at the beginning (including the overnight coach journey) to bond the group, with the tour getting better and better as it progressed. Our leader, Darwin, was simply brilliant, going the "extra mile" on various occasions and providing several experiences that were not set out in the itinerary (including a view of the sunset over Arequipa from a rooftop bar, plus a brewery tasting session in Cusco). Macchu Picchu lived up to all the hype, but my personal highlight was the night on Taquile Island, despite the basic accommodation, and the morning walk across the island. All the local guides were excellent. All in all, a fantastic introduction to southern Peru.

This was an excellent trip and lived up to my expectations. I was concerned about the use of public busses but they were of a good standard and in retrospect one of the many interesting experiences. My worry about altitude were unfounded. The guides experience and care meant that 95% of us were not greatly affected. Baggage was a problem. Over 50% of the clothes I bought were to hot. It was not cold, temperatures being mostly over 25C and even at night rarely fell below 15C and thius was in October. The guide was superb, so knowledgible and concerned. If your interested I'd say "do it"!

Excellent tour. In my view Arturo our guide made sure we made the best of our two weeks making sure we arrived at sites at a good time to make the most of the experience. He had an excellent knowledge of Peru and its history and this made the trip very interesting. We were a mixed group of 10 and we all enjoyed each others company making every day a pleasure.

The pace and points of interest on this trip were fantastic. It was a great combination of “must sees” and “off the beaten path.” Our tour leader was knowledgeable and genuine. We felt very well-looked after. The rail trip from Puno to Cusco was a highlight. Don’t miss it! I also highly recommend a follow-up trip to Machu Picchu. The first group tour was educational, but my individual trip the following day was a spiritual event. Be ready for some significant hiking, especially on Taquile Island. If you think you might want to bring a trekking pole- do it. The sights are worth it, but they are all uphill.
