What people love about Budget Tours in Peru
- 8 Days Tour: Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu & Puno – Includes Domestic Flights & Vistadome Train
I just returned from an 8-day tour in Peru, and I’m still processing everything I experienced. From day one, I felt cared for and guided by a team that thought of every detail. We began in Lima, where I tasted a ceviche I will honestly never forget. Walking through the historic center at sunset felt like stepping back in time. Then we flew to Cusco, and the thrill of seeing the Andes mountains for the first time was simply indescribable. In the Sacred Valley, we met local artisans who welcomed us with smiles and vibrant colors. In Ollantaytambo, it felt as though every stone had its own story to tell. But the most unforgettable moment was arriving at Machu Picchu—slowly climbing and suddenly seeing the sacred city appear before my eyes… it’s a moment I will treasure forever. We spent our last days in Cusco, wandering cobblestone streets, exploring markets filled with aromas and colors, and relaxing in plazas that made you want to stay for hours. There was time to learn, to laugh, to try new flavors, and to feel the special energy of this country. It was more than just a trip,it was 8 days of discovery, connection, and memories I’ll carry with me for a lifetime.
- Cultural Perú: Lima, Arequipa, Colca, Puno, Cusco, Machu Pichu
Perfect organization, friendly guides and a lot of great experiences in Lima, Arequipa, Puno and Cusco.
- Inca Adventure: Cusco, Machu Picchu & the Best Views Ever
awesome! great tour guide, edith was wonderful. a few days felt rushed, but to be expected with a guided tour where everyone is sharing transporation. it felt like we were paying extra for a few things that i thought would be included considering how expensive this tour was. for example on the "extra activities"day we had to pay extra for the bus even though the tour said all transpo was incuded. the hot springs day also felt too rushed because it was a 6 hour round trip bus ride and too far away for only spending 2 hours there. however everything else was pretty great. hotels were wonderful. the boxed lunches were weird and not easy to carry in a day pack. would have preferred a PB&J sandwich. the inca trail was amazing. was glad to get back at a reasonable hour each night so that we could get enough sleep to get up early the next day!
