We had a great trip to Machu Picchu booked with Cusco Unique Experience. It was a private tour, which I highly recommend for this important site. Karina and Brian worked with us to plan the perfect trip for us. They are flexible and will plan the trip that you want. Prior to the trip they sent the itinerary so we knew what we were going to do. We were met at the airport, even though out flight was very late, and driven to our hotel in the sacred valley that used to be a hacienda. Our guide for the sacred valley and Cusco was Rina, and we felt we saw and learned so much about the Incas. Our guide for Machu Picchu was Alex. He met with us the night before we were going to Machu to tell us what to bring, what not to bring, and what to expect. He met us at our hotel on Machu Picchu morning to walk to the bus with us. He explained so much about the Incas and Machu Pichu. He helped us with our photos and suggested good places to take photos. It was so great to have a private tour. We spent two more days touring with Rina ending in Cusco. We were offered one more activity to end our tour and we chose a cooking class. That was a riot because the chef spoke Spanish but the restaurant provided a someone to translate for us. The food was delicious. Our driver picked us up at 4:30AM for our vert early flight to Santiago, Chile. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. We loved Peru and we were totally satisfied with Cusco Unique Experience.

We had a spare day in Arequipa and were looking for something to do. While not cheap, a day trip into this reserve is like a trip into Mars because of the colored mountains, arid deserts and the salt flats we didn't image existed here (we had already been to the ones in Bolivia). While not as impressive as their counterparts in Uyuni, the salt flats here are mesmerizing. Plenty of hiking and wildlife during the day. The team at Inca made it more than worth it with great lunch and our driver Ben. Would do again if I had a free day here.

After a 10 day Traveling adventure with a group through another traveling group, my friend and I opted for a private tour of Rainbow Mountain! Unfortunately it snowed on the day we reserved our tour; however it was one of our most enjoyable days due to the kindness of our guide Richard. He was very informative regarding the history and culture of the area and people. We were able to see some beautiful sites on the way to and home. We met some local folks, stopped by a lovely place to eat Los Cabanas and have coffee. The food was awesome!! Richard took some beautiful photos and was patient with us when we wanted to stop to view some sights/alpacas!! The time with Cusco Holiday Peru Servicios Turisticos was one of our most favorite and memorable!! Thanks for such a wonderful time and adventure!!

Beautiful views during both days. We were lucky to enjoy the mountains in their full green glory during the summer rainy season without any rain. The hike, especially on its second day with a brutal uphill, is challenging, hence not recommended if you are completely out of shape or have issues with your knees. The accommodation for our overnight stay is pretty and the pool came as a nice surprise after a long hike in the first day. Our guide was Rafael. Very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, punctual and funny. 5 stars for Rafael.

This day trip ist perfect to get out of the city for a while. It's just about an hours ride outside of Arequipa. We visited Yura Viejo first which ist very small but in a beautiful sourrounding. Then went on a hike through a small canyon to a waterfall. You have to wade through the water quite a bit which was a lot of fun for our six year old. He did not even ask once 'are we there yet' ;-) The waterfall is beautiful as is the landscape. Our guide was great and our driver very relaxed, too. The termal baths are ok, maybe not a must-do, but our son loved the warm water. Overall a great Tour.

This was a no go! Way too far in a crappy bus for only two viewpoints. The tourguide spoke mostly Spanish so half of the time we had no clue what was going on. We had to pay €25 pp to get into Chivay and lunch was not cheap either. Someone had to throw up in the van and we also felt sick ourselves. Not worth it.
