“Where to begin? A fabulous trek with an incredible team. There were two of us, and we were pampered by the Vidal Expedition team. Ansangate is a captivating mountain, and it must be experienced with people who reveal its spirituality to you. Every day we went from glacier to glacier, from color to color, from discovery to experience. The expedition was very comfortable with top-notch equipment transported by our horse driver Angel. We ate more than enough thanks to our cook Beni and our assistant cook Euden, and we were expertly guided by our guide Chino. Thank you all for your good humor and smiles, thank you for all these…”

“What an absolute disaster of a company this is. Ellio is an awesome tour guide but there is no organization whatsoever.Despite saying the Macchu Picchu ticket is included, the company forgot to buy and tickets were sold out. They forced me to skip day 4 and pay MYSELF to get a taxi to Macchu Picchu just for tickets to be sold out on the agreed date.I had to miss out on my $500 flight back and part of the trip because they didn’t care. Owner never responds quick or even said sorry. Avoid this disaster and don’t believe the reviews.”
Review of Kantu Peru Tours’ 5-day private Peru package, covering Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, trains, meals, guides, and value.
“Kantu Peru Tour was the best. The company coordinated very efficiently and the choice of hotels and restaurants were also good. The service provided by the guides and driver made me feel very special. I like history and particularly Rafael's knowledge around the history was very impressive. Wilson, my driver, was very attentive to get on the board of the Perurail's train. It supposed to be just a drop off at the train station, but there was a contract negotiation between the Perurail and the local contract workers. I used Google translator to communicate with Wilson and he helped me to get through the line. It was frustrating as I…”
