Everything went like clockwork - on time / on schedule. Each one of the guides, whether on my private tours (8 out of the 10 days), or 2 days of group tours, was knowledgeable of the subject matter, answered all of my questions, and really did an excellent job. The three star hotel accommodations either met or exceeded expectations (for the downtown hotels, I recommend ear plugs if you're a light sleeper as Puno and LaPaz are noisy cities). Be advised that the oxygen levels are lower than at sea level, and there's a lot of walking involved. Based on my experience with Ayni-Peru, I would definitely recommend.

A 10/10 Lares Trek through the Andes finishing at Machu Picchu. Spectacular scenery and lovely company. We felt unbelievably lucky to be hiking and camping in the Andes on our own with no other tourists around. Our guide Juan was exceptional - very patient, a wonderful story teller, responsible guide, and dear friend. The food on our trip cooked by Angel was amazing - surprised and delighted by his multi course meals, food to look forward to very much during hiking. We were spoilt by our kind and lovely horsemen Augustin and Cesar, they were brilliant with the calm horses and added so many thoughtful touches throughout our experience. It was luxurious and we were very well looked after. We loved hiking on trails with no one around and 360 views of the Andes with glaciers and big landscapes. We also visited small towns in the Andes along the way, which felt welcome and not intrusive or overbearing on the places we visited. Our finish at Machu Picchu was spot on. We saw it in the afternoon light from above and returned for sunrise the following day. It could not have been better. Truly a very special trip. We feel very lucky, and send our thanks to Juan + Anyi, as well as to Augustin, Cesar and Angel.

We just finished a 5 days/4 nights trekking with Ayni Peru. We spent 2.5 days on the Lares Trail ending in a home stay in Patacancha, then the last leg of the Inca Trail and a private tour of Mach Picchu. Everything was a breeze to book thanks to Amanda, who even gave us tips for other legs of our trip. Out wonderful guide Juan was patient, knowledgeable and a great story teller. And huge thank you to horsemen Augustin and Cesar, and chef Angel for taking care of us. We saw some breathtaking landscapes, learnt a lot about Peru, and was privileged to get a glimpse into Andean life. We were safe and well supported throughout. Thank you for the experience!

Remembering to live again, there were excellent views throughout the journey. Inca Trail Machupicchu and waqrapukara were my favorite. It was a wonderful experience. Our Greek Guide helped us a lot in every detail.

The guides were great, the transfers were always on time & the hotels were nice, esp Refugio Amazonas & HOTEL PAKARITAMPU in Ollantaytambo.

My tour guide Oliver was FANTASTIC. He was so knowledgeable, kind and patient. He answered my endless curious questions. When I had altitude sickness he knew exactly what to do to help me. If I needed anything he made himself available to help. Thanks Oliver!

I was pleasantly surprised at how well put together and an amazing this tour was! Our tour guide Oliver was with us several days and he literally became like family to us. His knowledge and care for Peru and the sites was astounding. He gave us great tips and insight as to where to eat, visit, and more. Me and my friends had an issue at the airport and our tour guide Oliver came in the late night to help take care of it. I really can’t imagine visiting Cusco and Peru without this company and especially without Oliver. I highly recommend!

I would like to thank my guide Oliver for such a fantastic week in Peru. He was the best guide to have, providing me all the important history about the ancient civilizations and Peru itself. He made me feel comfortable every step of the way, even as a girl traveling alone. The itinerary was great, with various activities, great food, and really nice stays. I appreciate the team for putting this together. And once again I want to appreciate Oliver for sharing his culture and traditions with me.

Simeon our guide was fantastic. We were very lucky to have someone who was able to explain so much about the culture but also gave us the opportunity to really do the things we were most interested in. The llama blessing was an amazing experience and the lunches at local houses were fantastic.

Where to begin when a client asks for itinerary for a private tour they booked one would expect to receive it we were refused to be given any info and Amanda just told us look at our site you find everything . This is a lie because the site just gives a general view of which sites one visits but it does not mention where the homestay is when the local activity takes places etc. Our guide was not informed by Amanda we wanted to do star gazing. But according to her our homestay was tide to the stargazing ( homestay was more than one hour away from the station thus needing us to wake up at 4 to make it to the train!! ) Our guide said we can go on the roof if we want to see stars. If I want to see stars this way u can do it anywhere. We were told homestay vary we were told activity might change due to weather but the weather was bad in any case so there was nothing to be seen. In fact we went on another tour in Manu where despite not having stargazing activity we have had the best view of the sky. It was all a lie and not a local experience. We would strongly suggest to book elsewhere because this is just a rip off. We were booked in a horrible room in aguas calientes while other guests had much better ones as per pictures on the internet. The difference from one to another is literally 20usd but it's all about how you treat your clients. Amanda could not be bothered. She just can't be bothered to do her job. When you pay nearly 2000 for this trip you expect something. We enjoyed Machu Picchu of course but we could have enjoyed it without booking with this rip off of an agency. We were offered 20 USD refund what a joke. As if my time wasted would be made better with 20 Additionally bring water supplies for three days as nowhere during the trip we could refill our bottles so yet another lie other guides were even varying water but when we asked during lunch wee wee told there is no water and we can buy after we are done with the activities!

This tour has been one of our best yet because Simon our guide was so knowledgeable and willing to tell us about different sites and cultural traditions as we passed through the country side and villages. We chose the tour as part of preparation for our Salkantay Trek to see how we'd go hiking at altitude, the ruins are at 3645 meters, I think this was a good plan. I would highly recommend this tour.

big THANKS Simeon - the amazing guide a cook - chef magician Raymond - reliable mediator the trip was secured really professionally

Travelling with Ayni Perù means being sure that your trip and holidays become an experience and good memories for the rest of your life. Since the moment you get in touch with Amanda you feel you're in good and expert hands, precise and quick responses and always atentive to every request; than you get to Cusco and you meet up with Domingo, a smiley and cheerfull man who arranges all the logistics and takes care of last minute changes. During the trip Mario and Huber make sure you're doing great and you're enjoying every corner of the marvellous landscape you bump into. Trekking with Ayni is the best and funny part though!! Arrieros are kind and local people who make sure every morning you wake up with a cup of hot tea and the cousine of Julio Cesar is even better than whatever you can try and eat in Cusco city center itself. Man, this guy is a wonderfull chef and can bake a cake even in campsite-kitchen conditions!!! We travelled with a group of 7 italians for two weeks, visited Cusco, Sacred Valley, the beautiful ruins of Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Maras and Moray; climbed up to breathtaking Machu Picchu Mountains from where the Vilcanota river winds its way through craggy and lush peaks, trekked for 6 days the challenging route of Vinicunca-Ausangate which was particularly and wonderfully taylor made for us and ended up our journey at Titicaca Lake and the city of Puno. Not as single details have been missed and everything worked excellently and smoothly. If you travel to Cusco area and the Southeast of Perù this is the company to travel with Looking forward to meeting you next year guys Saludos Marco

Everything was wonderful from the quality of the transportation to every detail of the service. Domingo and his team were very professional, courteous and attentive. The vans were immaculate and our drivers were excellent. We felt very safe and comfortable at all times. Domingo is extremely knowledgeable on the local history, customs and with the landscape. He also has a great sense of humor. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun along the way.

We traveled with Ayni Peru to several remote Andean villages while making a documentary film about fair trade, and they went so above and beyond to support our efforts that they quickly became invaluable members of our team. Everyone we interacted with from this company was incredibly kind, generous, loving, knowledgable, responsible and well-connected to the communities in Cusco and the surrounding area. Without their generous support and guidance througout our journey, our project would not have been possible. I can't recommend them highly enough. Look no further for your travel and touring needs!!
