What people love about touring Peru solo
- Inca Treasures - 6 Days
Really amazing With Waman Adventure Unique experience. Get ready to walk and spend the best vacations.
- Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu (By Rail) 2 days
Our experience over the two days was almost 5 stars, right up to the very end. Katia was our tour guide, and she was amazing! She was very friendly, compassionate, personable, and flexible to meet the needs of me and my daughter--it was just the two of us on the trip with her. She is very proud and knowledgeable of her ancestors' culture and the Quechua language. And she knew all of the best places to take tons of photos! While Katia worked hard to ensure the best experience for us, I do believe there were issues from her company that were beyond her control. On the first day, we had two different drivers (they switched while we were exploring the Sacred Valley area). And then on the last day, we had a different driver altogether. Katia told us the driver would be waiting for us with a sign with our names on it. When we got out from the train station at Ollantaytambo, we looked for the white car that we were in the day before. But we did not see it or anyone with the sign. Turns out, we were assigned to be on a bus filled with people from a trek of the Inca Trails. While we thoroughly enjoyed our Panoramic train ride, this late ride on a packed bus was not the private transport we had in mind, or were looking forward to. Katia was very kind to try to keep in touch with us until we returned to our hotel in Cusco. However, our contact was very limited because we did not have wifi signal most of the time we were on the road. This same tour, if booked on Trip Advisor, would include the train ride all the way back to Cusco. I do not know why the trip through Tourradar is different. It was definitely an inconvenience and challenge, especially since Katia was not assigned to return with us. We would been able to deal with the different driver / vehicle situation much easier if our guide was with us. Similarly, it was "interesting" that our tour guide was not booked to be on the train with us from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes on Day 1. Her ticket was for a completely different time. Luckily, Katia was able to change her ticket to the same time, but she was still not in the same car as us. Altogether, my daughter and I enjoyed our time and experience with our guide, Katia. We hope TreXperience and Tourradar can work out the "transportation kinks" and make this a problem-free, total 5-star experience for their customers.

Even though the coronavirus prevented some trips my guides were really helpful. Percy and Guido were amazing and i would highly recommend them to anyone trying to visit Peru.
What our customers ask about Peru Tours for Solo Travelers
How social are the Peru group tours for solo travelers?
Peru tours create natural opportunities to connect with fellow travelers. The "Solo-ish Peru" tour joins like-minded explorers for shared experiences. About 55% of travelers on Peru tours arrive solo particularly in Cusco and Machu Picchu regions. Group activities range from Lima cooking classes to communal dining at local spots like Parwa Community Restaurant in Sacred Valley and group treks to Rainbow Mountain. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The guides were excellent and really helped bond our group together making solo travelers feel comfortable and included throughout the journey."
What safety considerations should solo travelers keep in mind for Peru?
Main tourist destinations in Peru maintain good safety standards especially with established tour operators. Reputable accommodations such as Tierra Viva in Cusco and Lima Wasi in Lima offer secure locations and round-the-clock front desk service. Professional guides stay with groups during key activities including Machu Picchu visits. A TourRadar traveler notes: "I felt completely safe as a solo traveller and in good hands. The guides were always there when needed and gave great safety advice."
Which areas of Peru are most solo traveler-friendly?
Cusco and Sacred Valley stand out as welcoming spots for solo travelers thanks to their well-developed tourist setup. Cusco's historic center lets you explore safely on foot with plenty of dining spots markets and cultural attractions. The San Blas area of Cusco and Sacred Valley towns like Ollantaytambo make meeting other travelers natural and easy according to TourRadar reviews. Lima's Miraflores and Barranco neighborhoods also offer comfortable spaces for independent travelers.
What's the typical single supplement cost on Peru tours?
Extra costs for single rooms in Peru usually fall between USD 200-400 based on hotel quality. At properties like Tierra Viva in Cusco or Jose Antonio Deluxe in Lima travelers can choose between private rooms with the supplement or shared rooms with another solo traveler of the same gender. One TourRadar traveler reports: "I was put in my own room in each hotel thereby saving myself the supplement cost."
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Peru?
The dry months from May to October bring more travelers and increased tour options making it ideal for solo visitors. Booking data shows July and August attract the highest numbers of independent travelers creating more chances to meet others. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Traveling in July meant perfect weather and lots of other travelers to meet especially in places like Cusco and the Sacred Valley."
How do guided tours handle altitude acclimatization for solo travelers in Peru?
Tour companies take a measured approach to altitude adjustment especially around Cusco at 11152 feet. Trips start at lower elevations before moving to higher sites like Rainbow Mountain at 16466 feet. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Our guide made sure we took it slow drank coca tea and had proper rest periods. They were especially attentive to solo travelers who didn't have a companion to monitor their symptoms."
