We had an amazing time on our trip!!! The tour guides were all so knowledgeable and extremely friendly (shout out to Ronaldo and Henry)! All of the staff were incredible and they helped us through every step of the way, which we were grateful for. We had zero worries and zero hassle the entire trip because of that! Peru is absolutely beautiful with so much to see and do and this trip gave us the opportunity to see and experience a lot, which was amazing! Our only complaint were the accommodations in Cusco and Puno. Unfortunately, neither were a ‘3-star hotel’ and it was especially unfortunate that we got moved from our initial booking in Cusco (because the first hotel was fully booked) since the hotel we were moved to was not on par with what we had initially been booked for. I believe that if we had stayed in our initial hotel in Cusco then we wouldn't have had any issues with the Puno Hotel since it was for a shorter a time, we would have been able to handle it a little better. The hotel Tambo in Lima was very nice and a great location. Regardless, we pushed this aside and had a great time. The ease of your staff and all the activities made up for it.

We had a wonderful time in Cusco. Into Peru created a perfect tour plan for our family. The staff in Cusco was amazing, very friendly, and always had answers to all our questions and needs. I highly recommend Into Peru to everyone interested in having the best experience ever in the land of the Incas. Thank you for everything!
