We booked the traditional Peru package through Julius Tours and it was fantastic. From the moment we arrived in Lima there were people waiting for us. From then on everything was taken care of minus a couple of meals. Julio was very easy to work with and very accomadating.

The tour was extremely reasonable, by far the cheapest we could find. The accomadations were modest but comfortable. We chose to go with the cheapest (2 stars), Julio gave us a 3 star hotel while in Puno and it was very nice. All of the tours were great. Our whole group feels like we got the best possible trip for our money. We have been recommending Julius tours to all of our friends and have yet to be dissapointed.

Thanks so much Julio, it was a very memorable trip!!

Did you get a private guide or a group service. Also did you pay 50% of the costs upfront using awire transfer. I am planning to book my trip thru Julius tours and they want to pay 50% of the costs deposited into their account in Peru. Not confortable with that. Any advice is appreciated.

I also got a quote from Julius Tours and it seems very reasonable - did you do the jungle tour as well with him at Puerto Maldonado? I requested Colca Canyon instead with Arequipa after Lake Titicaca - wondering if the jungle would be more fun.

How big was your tour?
