What people love about Peru Tours from Cusco
If you can go to Peru GO! I had an awesome guide and driver while I visited Cusco, Scared Valley, Machu Picchu and Pisaq. I’m a solo woman traveler and always felt safe during my visit. Carlos was very knowledgeable and a great person. When heading to Puno, I was on a bus tour. I guess I was really spoiled by having a private tour that the bus tour was ok. It was rushed and I didn’t get much out of it. Once I was in Puno, I had a great hotel over looking Lake Titicaca. The tour guide to Uros and Taquile island was really good and learned a lot from him. I had extra time before my flight and Inkayni Tours was able to get me a tour last minute to the Stargate. The tour guide and driver were such great people and knowledgeable and was a great way to end my trip!!!
Southern Treasures - 8 Days
- WONDERS OF PERU - 9 DAYS – CUSCO & PUNO
Well organized. Very good guides and drivers.
- 5 days - Cusco & Machu Picchu & Rainbow Mountain & Humantay Lake
I can't say enough about how great the agency PV Travels were for my trip. I'm not a fan of surprises so I asked numerous questions in the months leading up to my vacation. Each time, the staff got back me quickly and answered all my questions entirely. They were professional and insightful. LUCIANA IS AMAZING! She met me at the airport with the driver on day one and went over my itinerary with me at the hotel. She even gave me restaurant suggestions based on what I was looking for. Each day I was met by tour guides on-time and enjoyed detailed excursions. Everything I paid for - I received. This was one great trip that I'll never forget. Thanks again everyone!
