My friends and I booked this trip as a group of 7 and I’ll start by saying that the content of the trip is great, it’s a very full and intense itinerary but the good part of that is that you get to see a lot of amazing things. Unfortunately, where the trip fell down was in the communication with the organiser. Our organiser, Yuri, informed us that he is only able to share the next day’s itinerary 24 hours in advance, meaning that we never knew any specific details of what was to come on the trip. In some cases we were informed extremely late, for example, it was only atop Machu Picchu that we were informed of our 03:30 start the following day. This ultimately meant that we never had time to prepare ourselves, which makes this type of trip quite difficult. Upon asking Yuri if he was able to give us more notice, we were ignored. This did seem to be the trend on the communication side - when we had a spare moment in Cusco, we asked Yuri (who is from Cusco) if he had any recommendations for a spa, given that there are plenty in Cusco and were met with “no”. I will say, the organisation of the trip, however, was generally very good, with most of our transfers arriving on time and the individual tours for each day were of a very high quality. This did change, however, as we entered the Bolivia leg of the trip. Upon arriving in Uyuni, we set off on our 3 day tour of the salt flats, lagoons etc. This is where we encountered a lot of problems. Firstly, no where on the itinerary does it mention that we will be experiencing -10 degrees celsius temperatures, so we were slightly ill equipped entering this part of the trip. The main issue here, however, was the final night accommodation, where there was no heating and only electricity between 7-10pm. Our friend had a medical condition where she needs to sleep with a device plugged into the wall and upon begging the hostel owners to keep the electricity on overnight, stating we would pay for the whole night of power, we were simply told that it was not an option. The final (and biggest) issue came on the last day. Throughout the trip, We were split into two cars and one of the cars kept breaking down and getting lost, which is very scary in an area with 0 signal. On the final day, returning to Uyuni, one of our cars completely broke down and was left stranded with no ability to contact the other car or the tour organisers. Ultimately, the people in this car had to independently hitchhike back to Uyuni with complete strangers. This was an extremely dangerous situation, which should have been avoided. Overall, the content of the trip was great, the organisation was mostly good, but the communication was terrible and there were some very dangerous situations that arose throughout the trip. I would say, for how much you are paying, this shouldn’t be the case.

Thank you to Peru Trek 4 Good for showing us Peru! We had an absolutely fantastic time seeing the important sights. Our accommodations were clean, safe and comfortable. Our driver, Yure, was working extremely hard to show us a great time while we were in his care. He stopped enroute for photos, vistas and to make sure that we got a real flavour for Peru. We cannot recommend this trip enough! If you are thinking of going to Peru, this is the way to do it! Thank you to Peru Trek 4 Good for giving us an unforgettable journey!

We had a fabulous time on our Peru Trek 4 Good. We visited many places, Lima, Ballestas, Ica, Nazca, Arequipa, Colca Canyon, Puno, Lake Titicaca, Cusco, and, of course, Machu Picchu. We travelled in October and finished our trip in early November. The weather was terrific, sunny almost all of the time, warm, often hot, and so the sites we visited were shown to their best advantage in the sunshine. We booked a private driver for this trip and it turned out to be Yure Chavez, the owner of the company. He was terrific, giving us personalized tours of every site we visited except a couple of times when we had a different private guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, willing to answer questions and offering information and insights about his country, from historical times to the present day. He is also warm, personable and very generous. I travelled with my brother and sister-in-law and Yure stopped for photo ops along the way, both planned and unplanned, and took photos of the three of us together at every site. I highly recommend booking a private driver for this tour. Having Yure was very special. The trip covers most of the sites tourists would like to visit and each of them had something unique and fascinating to offer. We took a plane up to see the Nazca lines, we had a boat trip to the Uros Islands on Lake Titicaca to see the islands made by hand of reeds and roots, and visited Taquile the same day, we visited many Inca sites, mummy burial graves, museums, the salt mines, circular terraces, and, of course, the best for last, Machu Picchu, in its awesome grandeur. It's a busy trip, but an excellent one. Having Yure as our driver and guide made it extra-special. Because we travelled by SUV, we went up to the higher elevations in a graduated way. That, plus taking our elevation medication and drinking coca tea and lots of water, made it easy to acclimatize to the very high elevations we encountered. The hotels we stayed in were very comfortable and well-located in city centres. Some meals were included, as listed, but dinners were not and because the hotels were in the city centre, restaurants abounded close by. It was good to have some free time to see the cities and towns and get a flavour of the local communities. We found that Peruvians are very family and community-minded and we saw lots of processions, Halloween parades and activities, and other rousing goings-on in the city centres. I know that I can speak for my brother and sister-in-law in saying that this was a very special trip to an absolutely beautiful country with diverse and stunning scenery. Choose Peru Trek 4 Good. You will not be disappointed.
