“I booked what was advertised as a private tour (over $100), but to this day I’m still trying to understand what exactly I paid extra for. Throughout the entire experience, I was with a large group — no private sightseeing, transport, or additional attractions. Had I known this, I would have never chosen the private option. Besides the double price and a bottle of water included with lunch, there were no additional perks. The visit to the Uros Islands was quite depressing and underwhelming — stopping at a single small community with two houses felt more like a staged presentation than a meaningful experience. As for Taquile Island, there was…”

Review of a fast-paced 6-day Peru tour covering Cusco, Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Puno, and Lake Titicaca for $799.
“This was a beautiful active tour. The itinerary and reviews were accurate. We flew into Lima and did a day for ourselves there which I recommend. When we flew into Cusco a guide met us at airport and gave us a packet with our detailed itinerary, tickets etc. Everything went exactly as planned. Hotels were great. Pick ups were exactly as scheduled, and you have a point of contact every day. Be aware this is a very ACTIVE tour, EARLY starts about 6am every day. Lots of walking, stairs, uneven surfaces. But you will not be disappointed! We loved every part! You will appreciate the beautiful countryside, mountains in the…”

“The 3-hour private tour of Uros Island with Hugo was amazing. Hugo’s English was really great – more than that – he seemed to be totally in the slipstream. He was incredibly insightful and knowledgeable. He related to all of us – parents and teenage boys equally. The highlight was meeting a local Uros – and Hugo was simply at home with them as he was with us. The family were so genuine and kind – it was magical and charming. We all keep talking about the experience and hold a true appreciation that we could be in that element for the half day. Hugo was really the bridge for…”
