Peru Train Trips

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!!!

Great tour with great leader. Peru is a huge country with several different climes and geographical areas as well as multiple indigenous peoples and cultures. This trip manages to cover a great deal of these places and contrasts. Be prepared for lots of early starts and long journeys but the reward is seeing amazing landscapes, meeting lots of interesting people and eating some great food. The trip is a carefully planned to help you adapt to the altitude. Accommodation was a very high standard overall.

My wife and I have just returned from our 'bucket list' trip 'Simply Peru' with Explore. It lived up to our expectations and then some! The iternary was what we would have hoped for with a few good surprises such as the two days on Lake Titicaca- especially Taquile Island, if a little on the 'cool' side, and Colca Valley and the Condors. Our main highlights were a flight over the Nazca Lines and, of course, Machu Picchu! We also did the Machu Picchu Mountain hike - another highlight. Cuzco is such a wonderful city with some great Inca heritage including Sacsaywaman. There were many, many more highlights not least of which was our tour leader, Erickson Arenas. Thank you Erickson for making this such a memorable holiday. I would recommend this trip to anyone without hesitation. This will take some beating!

Wonderful itinerary. Guides were knowledgeable and patient. Machu Picchu Hotel was very loud with trains, parties and fumes from the trains. Galapagos was one surprise after another. The final hacienda hotel in Quito was breathtaking. By far my favorite accommodation. Great trip.

Peru - a beautiful country. Inca ruins, salt plains, an unforgetable boarding the train and Machu Picchu. Cuzco has so much to offer. Guide was fantastic amd passionate about his country Ecuador has stunning cathedrals and beautiful scenary. Galapagos islands were incredible. So much wildlife seen and lovely to see the conservation efforts for tortoises and other species. Was also amazing to see the Blue footed boobies doing their mating rituals and the frigate birds nesting. Completely unforgettable full on trip

An excellent tour with a fabulous group of fellow explorers who were great company, punctual and positive. Without doubt our tour leader Arturo went above and beyond to make this a lovely experience and shared his knowledge and passion for this beautiful country. Many highlights including our visit to Machu Picchu, which being later in the afternoon allowed us to experience the site at our leisure and without the crowds. Would absolutely recommend this tour.
