What people love about Peru Tours in December
- 7 Day Andean Experience Through the Living Culture of the Incas
What a great tour! We were able to see so much in 7 days. Paul was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. We will definitely reccommend this tour to friends!
- 7 Day Inca Jungle Adventure To Machu Picchu with Mountain Bike, Rafting, Zip Line and Trek.
My wife and I can't recommend Inkayni Peru Tours enough. Our guide Herlin was an amazing person with an incredible amount of knowledge about Peru, its people, and its history. He was always genuinely concerned with ensuring that we were having a good time and provided us with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He will forever have a place in our hearts. There is a reason that so many of the reviews for this tour company are so overwhelmingly positive. Though we spent most of our time with Herlin, we interacted with other tour guides, drivers, and staff of other companies that work with Inkayni. There is nothing to be cynical about here—these are fantastic people offering a fantastic service who deserve your business. I would have a hard time believing that there is a better way to experience Peru.
- WONDERS OF PERU - 9 DAYS – CUSCO & PUNO
Great experience. I want to thank Waman Adventures for a great trip. The hotels were well selected and the guides were great, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful always going above and beyond. The staff kept in contact through WhatsApp. Every problem that arose was dealt with efficiently, I would like to thank all the staff from Waman Adventures. If you’re able, please tip generously. On the whole an amazing experience!!!
