What people love about Budget Tours in Peru
- 5 days - Arequipa & Colca Canyon & Sillar Stone
From the first click we have been supported and cared for through out the arrangements and whilst in Peru. There was always someone at the end of the phone or can be messaged. We had a great time in Arequipa and the Colca Canyon, with very knowledgeable and caring guides, who could not do enough for us. The views and sights are stunning and like nothing you see elsewhere. We were very lucky to see three condors when at the view point as well as many roaming llama, apacha and vicuna. The guides spoke English brilliantly and if there was any confusion they would work with us until we understood each other (which we are very grateful for). If they recommended certain places to eat or visit I suggest you go. Victor suggested we go to a meal with a show and it was the best night we have had in Peru, we would never have found it otherwise. Also the hot springs are a must! We went in January (rainy season) however it only rained in the evenings and did not spoil the trip at all as we still got to do all we wanted to do.
- PERU HIGHLIGHTS - 8 DAYS WITH LOCAL FLIGHTS (LIMA TO CUSCO AND CUSCO TO LIMA)
Well organized, expierienced drivers and guides, nice hotels in a good neighborhood, small group, Would choose the tour again!
- Machu Picchu Jungle Trek 5D/4N (Biking, Zip-Line & Rafting)
This was the best vacation trip I have ever had. Best tour guide, Perci. Lots of culture, excellent treatment, everything perfect. I recommend it!
