          Excellent professional service
          Liberty Peru Travel provided excellent service from begging to end. Service was professional, courteous and timely. They took care of all of details, timing, instructions and most importantly they provided a contact for each part of the tour. Les recomendamos esta compañía para sus usos turísticos. Our guide Beltrán went out of his way to take care of us. Elio helped us with coordinating and pick-up and drop-off at our hotel.

          No worries tour totally recommended with the best guide Jaime David
          Jaime David was the best of the best to guide my boyfriend and I on this amazing 2 days Inca Trail experience. The trail was not easy but Jaime was very thoughtful and patient throughout the trip making sure we watch out all the obstacles on the way. He was also very knowledgeable of the culture, the history, the terrain, the vegetation, and a great photographer. I’m very happy with the tour, I feel we were totally informed of every detail from transportation, entrance tickets, food, every stop on the way including the cleanest bathrooms, and everything was very well organized. I totally recommend this agency and Jaime David as the guide if you want to have a great experience without any worries.

          Amazing, best tour company hands down.
          Juan Carlos was amazing, a teacher of teachers and now a friend to our family. Was very passionate about the culture and imparted his love for his country and people. He set a great pace for our family which included my 14 year old daughter and Joe, my 85 year old father in law. We avoided all the crowds and had a pleasant day. We will definitely be back for another tour.

          Fantastic tour and horseback ride
          We loved the tour of Saqsaywaman and the horseback ride. I can't speak highly enough of Juan Carlos's knowledge and passion during the tour. The horseride through the eucalyptus forrest was gorgeous and added a unique and private perspective. I absolutely recommend this tour

          Amazing tour of Machu Picchu with our guide Richard!
          Our tour of Machu Picchu was wonderful! Richard was so full of knowledge and took amazing pictures of us and our family. He even helped my mom find a place to sit and wait when she was not able to complete part of the climbing. Richard went above and beyond for us and you can tell that he genuinely loves his job.

          Machu Picchu experience
          Be prepared to bring snacks/food/water. They do serve you once on the trip but it's a granola bar and some quinoa chips. Also make sure you bring bug spray, I forgot mine at the hotel and it was $20 for a small can when I got to Machu Picchu (not the trips fault, my own). The experience was amazing, going through the Andes is surreal to look at in the panoramic view. It was a long ride and once you get there your guide will meet you, our was Rafael and he was amazing. I had just flown in the night before and still was adjusting to the altitude (give yourself 24 hours at least and don't make my mistake). He took his time while we were hiking up to stop and give us plenty of history about Machu Picchu including the people, crops they produced, the flowers/plants, how Machu Picchu survived the Spaniards invading Peru and of course the llamas. I also loved how I got picked up and dropped off at my hotel and even got my tickets delivered to me the night before the trip. Everything went smoothly and I highly recommend this trip. It's definitely worth the money.

          great fishing success with Maverick Charters
          I was one of 6 on an all day excursion. Captain Dan knows his waters and got us on halibut at our first stop. We changed spots and went after "bigger ones". Mine was 35-40 lbs. Then on to try for King Salmon. 3 of the 6 of us landed one. I didn't, but I did get two chum salmon. We also caught a lot of cod, which I wasn't expecting. All told, it was a great day, and I highly recommend it. The boat was comfortable, and Lev the mate was as entertaining as he was knowledgeable. What a pro at cleaning the fish. I'm sure there are other fishing choices, but you can't go wrong with Maverick Charters.

          Amazing trip from Cusco to Peru with Liberty Peru Travel
          Used Liberty Peru travel to go from Cusco to Puno. Had an amazing time. Taxi picked us up dropped at the bus station. Great bus took us for a 10 hour journey with professional guide who told us a lot about Incas culture and showed us super interesting places where regular tours rarely go. We had stp every 90-120 minutes and walked on a tour. Also great buffet lunch was included. When we arrived to Puno car was waiting for us to drop us to the hotel. Thank you Liberty Peru Travel!!

          A perfect day in Machu Picchu
          Every part of our tour ran smoothly. There was a briefing each night to fill us in on what the following days itinerary would be. Our tour guide Richart in Machu Picchu was exceptional! He gave great explanations and stories throughout our tour. It was not rushed and he made sure to answer all our questions. Richart helped to make our visit to Machu Picchu perfect!
