Moray Maras Salt Mines Pisac Tour

My wife and I just returned from a beautiful trip to Peru where we also hiked the Choquequirao with Peru Summit. I had been planning the trip for over a year together with Carlos and his patience, responsiveness and professionalism really impressed me and convinced me that I had made the right choice. The hike itself was run with the same attitude and attentiveness as the reservation process. We joined a possible group of 8 but eventually did the trek with just the two of us which made it even more special. The guide, cook and horsemen were all so knowledgeable and friendly and worked so hard to accommodate us. All we needed to do was hike! Our chef never made the same dish twice in 5 days and they helped us with all of our needs and flaws. One of our power banks broke during the trip and the one of the horsemen lent us his to recharge at night so that we could still take pictures and use our watches the final two days. A personal visit by Carlos to evaluate at the end of the trip was the icing on the cake. He made us feel very special. Peru Summit delivered above and beyond and created great memories for us. Thank you Carlos, Aureol, Luis, Victor & Juan. We'll be back!

We booked through Peru Summit for private tours to sacred valley, machu piccu and rainbow mountain. We had William as our guide and Juan as our driver. We all thoroughly enjoyed the trips. William is an excellent guide with so much knowledge to share, a great sense of humour and great fun to be around. We were well looked after at every stage and would highly recommend the company as well as William and Juan to make your Peru trip extra special and very hassle free!

I just returned from an 10-day trip to Peru with my wife and three adult kids, all through Peru Summit Adventures. When I started planning the trip 16 months ago, I looked at several tour companies, ultimately deciding that I wanted to support a local family-owned business rather than a larger international company. Founder/owner Carlos immediately impressed me with his responsiveness, attentiveness, and professionalism. He worked with me diligently to create an itinerary that addressed the group's divergent interests, answered each of my (many) questions patiently and thoroughly, and showed tremendous flexibility when the size and makeup of our group changed repeatedly due to family circumstances - even providing a partial refund when he was no longer required to. Still, being anxious by nature, I harbored some uncertainty until we landed in Lima about whether we had chosen the right company and how everything would go. But any doubts were immediately put to rest. Through two days in Lima (with guide Rodrigo and driver David) and seven days in Ollantaytambo and Cusco (with guide Percy and driver Mario), we encountered nothing but top-end service with absolutely delightful people who became temporary members of our family. We did the two-day Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu, climbed Wayna Picchu and Rainbow Mountain, saw all the major archaeological sites, visited some weaving cooperatives, and got great restaurant and shopping recommendations. Percy even went out of his way to make sure that my son's and my birthdays were celebrated during the trip. And Carlos continued to demonstrate the type of personalized attention you will never receive from a larger tour company, messaging every day to see how we were doing, whether the accommodations were comfortable, etc., and even taking time to stop by our Cusco hotel on our last day to introduce himself, chat in person, and solicit any suggestions for how his company might improve (we had none). Seriously, if you're browsing to help you choose a Peru tour company, you can safely stop browsing right now and go with Peru Summit. This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip and I could not have chosen a better outfit to entrust it to.

We booked a day trip to Machu Picchu. Although once here we realised we could have pieced it altogether ourselves, it was so worth booking ahead for peace of mind. Everything was so efficiently sorted by Carlos. Hotel pick up ( bang on time - and hotel recommended for shortest walk) , arrival at coach queue bang on time and no queuing, fast entry to MP ( and critically at 6am- first in) and the best Circuit 2 . All this in the capable hands of our guide William who was excellent - and good company! We learnt so much and it was all at an excellent pace and sensitive to our interests and level of knowledge. We had perfect clear skies but I think that was just luck!

William with Peru Summit Adventures made our Peru trip unforgettable! We did a customized tour of various attractions around Cusco (Maras salt mines, Moray circular terraces, Ollantaytambo Inca site, etc.) and William was the BEST guide through it all. He was unbelievably knowledgeable about every site and so friendly — we felt so comfortable around him, which was important to us as a group of 3 women. William went out of the way to make sure our experience was perfect, constantly checking in on us throughout the tour and ensuring we were having a good time. 10/10 recommend Peru Summit Adventures and especially William!

This private tour of the Sacred Valley was definitely worthwhile! Our guide Wally and our driver Juan were kind, knowledgeable, attentive and very fun. We got to see all the best sites in the sacred valley and even had some bonus facts/stops, like eating the best empanadas in Pisac! The tour is adjustable based on your liking and timing really depends on how long you want to spend at each site. We stuck with the advice from our guide and had the best day - highly recommended!

This is going to be a long review, because Peru Summit Adventures deserves it. After speaking with several large international tour companies, we ultimately decided to work with a local Peru-based company, Peru Summit Adventures—and it was one of the best decisions we made for this trip. From our very first conversations, Carlos spent a tremendous amount of time listening to what we wanted from our 2.5 weeks in Peru: a private, high-end trip with wonderful hotels and guides, plenty of history and culture, some adventure, and experiences that felt personal rather than cookie-cutter. He offered thoughtful suggestions we hadn’t considered and ultimately created an exceptional itinerary for the two of us. Of course we visited Cusco and Machu Picchu, but Carlos also encouraged us to experience Arequipa, Colca Canyon and Lake Titicaca, which ended up giving us some of our most memorable days in Peru. He paired the itinerary with beautiful hotels, outstanding private guides and drivers, and seamless logistics from beginning to end. What really distinguishes Peru Summit Adventures, though, is how personal the experience feels. Carlos didn’t simply plan our trip and hand us off once we arrived. He stayed in touch with us throughout the journey, checking in and personally monitoring things as we made our way across the country. We always felt like someone was looking out for us. He also arranged experiences we never would have found on our own. One of our favorites was a private day in the mountains outside Cusco accompanied by wonderfully tame and friendly alpacas and llamas—exactly the sort of unique, memorable experience we had hoped to find in Peru. We also discovered just how valuable it was to have Carlos in our corner when weather caused our flight to Arequipa to be cancelled. While we were stuck at the airport trying to figure out what to do, Carlos was in constant contact with us on WhatsApp, working on solutions and ultimately helping get us onto another airline and flight that allowed us to keep the rest of our itinerary on track. He was responsive, reassuring and genuinely sympathetic to how frustrating the situation was. That kind of hands-on, personal care is very difficult to imagine getting from a large international operator, and in that moment it meant an enormous amount to us. Every single guide Carlos selected for us was exceptional—warm, friendly, accommodating, easygoing and incredibly knowledgeable. They didn’t simply recite facts; they were wonderful storytellers who helped us understand Peru’s history, culture and people. Our drivers were equally terrific, and we felt completely comfortable and well cared for throughout the trip. Carlos was also incredibly helpful before we ever arrived, giving us excellent advice about packing, altitude and how to prepare for the different environments we’d encounter along the way. For a smaller local operator, the level of service was extraordinary. In fact, the personal attention we received was one of the great advantages of traveling this way. We had all the comfort, organization and polish of a high-end private tour, but with the warmth and flexibility of working directly with people who live in and love Peru. I also loved knowing that our tourism dollars were going directly to a local Peruvian company rather than through a large overseas operator. And somehow, despite the incredibly high level of service, we also felt that we received excellent value for the quality of the trip Carlos created for us. Most importantly, this wasn’t simply a well-planned vacation. We fell in love with Peru, and so much of that was because of the people and experiences Carlos brought into our journey. We came home with memories and stories that I know we’ll still be talking about many years from now. I recommend Peru Summit Adventures and Carlos without hesitation. If you’re looking for a beautifully planned, private trip through Peru with exceptional guides, thoughtful details, unique experiences and someone genuinely invested in making sure you are taken care of from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave, book with them with confidence. Peru Summit Adventures gets my absolute highest recommendation. Five stars doesn’t really feel like enough.

这次秘鲁之旅真的多亏了 Peru Summit Adventures。不巧我太太在行程中受了伤，原定的多日徒步只能取消。当时我们挺沮丧的，但老板 Carlos 和团队反应非常快，不仅一直在鼓励我们，还迅速帮我们改了轻松的替代行程。Carlos 甚至特地跑来酒店看望我太太，让我们非常感动。在他们的周到照顾下，我们最终顺利登上了马丘比丘，圆了心愿！如果去秘鲁，找他们绝对靠谱。再次谢谢 Carlos 和团队！ I cannot thank Peru Summit Adventures enough. My wife unfortunately injured her foot, so we had to cancel our multi-day trek. We were pretty stressed, but Carlos (the owner) and his team were so quick to help. They came up with an alternative plan right away, and Carlos even came to our hotel in person to check on her. Thanks to their quick support, we still got to see Machu Picchu safely! If you are planning a trip to Peru, I highly recommend them. Thank you again, Carlos!
