  I don't know who these people are giving this a 5-star rating; it was one of the most difficult trips we have done in our lives, and honestly, we are scared of using Tourradar after this. Waman is the tour company that says it organizes the tour, but we realize they just use a lot of small companies to complete everyday tours, and timings are awful. Peru is a beautiful country, but this tour was a nightmare. We did our tour starting from April 13th to 20th, 2025. My wife and I have been traveling together for the last 8 years and had done individual travels before that, and we both never had an awful experience in our lives. We do four trips every year, and for so many years, this was the most nightmarish trip of all time. 1. Day one: it says in the details to arrive in the morning or before noon on day one, which we did at 10:30 in the morning, and once we reached the hotel, you cannot check in till 3 PM, but the first day trip starts at 2:30 PM. The hotel staff felt bad for us, and they luckily gave us a room at 2 PM, so we got time to freshen up, as we came from Canada on an overnight flight for a total of 10 hours. The tour started at 2:30 and was done in 3 hours, taking us to various places in Lima where we barely stopped. 2. Day Two: We were asked to be ready at 4 AM, where we covered Paracas and Ica, did a boat ride and sand dune excursion, and had a fun day. While coming back from Ica to Lima at 10:30 PM, we got into a massive bus accident, which I am very sure the bus driver was not paying attention to. My wife and I had to be taken to the hospital, and I still have a concussion from that, and they kept us in the hospital overnight to monitor us. 3. Day Three: We were released from the hospital, and the doctor told us to be conscious that you guys still have concussions. We reached the hotel just after 12 and realized the hotel was not accessible and had to tell the staff what happened to us, and they gave us an hour to get ready and leave as soon as possible. The same day, Waman arranged for us to travel to Cusco, which is at a high altitude, and the doctor asked us to stay conscious as much as possible. We made it to our flight at 3:45 PM. We were up since 3 AM last night and continued after the accident. We reached Cusco at night and were transferred to the hotel from the airport by one of the Waman representatives. We met Ronald, who was our guide for the next two days, and he was asked to be ready by 7 AM to start the next day's tour. 4. Day Four: We saw a lot of places and also carried some of our luggage with us and left the rest of it in the hotel we are staying in, in their storage, as on Days 5 and 6 we will come back and stay in the same hotel. We completed the whole day tour and later in the afternoon took a train ride to Machu Picchu at the end of today's trip, and Ronald is going to accompany us to Machu Picchu, and after reaching the station, we learned it was just us on the train and Ronald was coming separately. The train ride was beautiful, and when we reached Machu Picchu, the hotel we were supposed to stay at for day 4 had no staff there, and after waiting for a while, both of us, with another two passengers, Googled the hotel and reached there on foot, and then we got a call from Ronald and the hotel staff saying, Oh, the staff was there but could not find you. After reaching there, Ronald messaged us and asked us to be ready to meet him at the lobby at 5:30 AM tomorrow with our luggage. 5. Day Five: Met Ronald at the lobby of the hotel at 5:30 AM, kept our luggage at the hotel storage, and started our Machu Picchu journey. It's beautiful out there, but we were struggling, mainly my wife, as she had a worse concussion than me, but we completed the Machu Picchu trip and were back in the Machu Picchu city before noon and were given time to spend there till 2, as our train back to halfway Cusco was at 3:36 PM. We reached the halfway point after 2 hours, and then there was a bus waiting for us, which dropped us at the hotel around 9:30 PM, and while we were on the way to the hotel, we got a message from Leonerd, who is a tour manager, to be ready at 3:30 AM for the Rainbow Mountain tour the next day. At that point we decided we could not do this anymore, as we were already heard, and we wouldn't even get a decent sleep. Rather than arranging a refund or something else for us, Leonerd started telling me in the message that it’s so sad everything was arranged and to think about it. I have to remind him we went through a massive accident, and then he said, I understand, and I will tell the group to not pick you up tomorrow morning. 6. Day Six: We didn’t go on the tour and stayed in the hotel and went out by ourselves to see the city of Cusco and have a quiet day, as we were exhausted and were tired of the lack of empathy from the Waman tour people and wanted this trip to be over. At night, Leonerd messaged us our boarding pass and said there will be a person who will transfer us at 2:14 PM tomorrow to the airport. 7. Day Seven: Our airport transfer arrived 40 minutes late, and after calling Leonerd multiple times, he responded and said he would send another person. So, this was our trip I don’t know if they are paying people to give 5-star ratings or what; this was not a vacation we were looking forward to visiting Peru. Tourradar should look into this, as I do not know how the rating is so high.

  We really enjoyed leaving about the inka culture and the history of Peru. MachuPicchu was the highlight. We also enjoyed the sand activities. Some of the travel towards the end felt unsafe and made many of us sick. I feel we could have enjoyed that day better if the travel had been slower on mountain roads. We really enjoyed the food especially the buffet options so we could try many things. We made many good memories! Even with the language barrier at times the tour guides and bus drivers were so willing to help and persist to know our needs.

  This trip is a one of a kind adventure. Lots to see and do, great tour guides. Tour radar uses small groups so you get the experience almost one on one feeling. The views are amazing. Getting to see Machu Picchu one of the wonders of the world, was breathtaking. My Wife and I had a blast

  Thank you for organize for us this unforgetable tour. The support from Waman Adventure team was very professional. The information flow was well managed. The communication was clear, enought detailed, and in time.The tour guides was friendly and inform us very details. But i need to higlight Wilbert, who was so professional and well-prepared and knowing special things, and he gives us very clear understanding about Inca history and Peru culture. We are very happy to meet with Wilbert and to get him as our tourguide. Thanks again for your support, we take with us only positiv memories and experiences. We are happy to recommend you and special Wilbert to our friends who want to get to know Peru and its culture and history more closely. Best reg. Tibor Horvath Hungary
