    When we booked this tour with Gabriel we didn’t really know what to expect because it was our first day in Cusco. However, it was such a lovely experience that we will never forget. We feel like we got a special taste of Cusco that we never would have gotten otherwise. The horses were so beautifully behaved, the views were unreal, and Gabriel’s knowledge of the area and of the history was priceless. Not to mention the fact that we got our own private tour just by luck because the other tourists called sick at the last minute. We are sooo grateful for Gabriel’s kindness and willingness to go above and beyond. Highly recommend!!!!

    We’ve been travelling for over ten months, with a mixture of booking direct and some trips and tours through agents. For Peru I wanted a full package and itinerary as we wanted to cover everything Peru has to offer, with the minimum of stress and hassle for ourselves. I booked through Diego at Valencia after a simple google search, looking for 12 day tours, and found Valencia travel cost effective, with good reviews. From start to finish, from the moment we landed at Lima airport, to the moment we left Cusco airport, Valencia travel staff, guides and drivers have been with us every step of the way. A full detailed itinerary, managed to perfection, with backup support from Diego and staff at the office as and when we had any queries.
    This included assisting with visits to the pharmacy for us when my wife was unwell, to flexibility with some travel arrangements, to assisting us sorting out (at no extra cost) train and bus journeys when we had missed our return train from Machu Picchu back to Cusco.
    The service received has been second to none, we have been overwhelmed by the attention to detail and support offered, I would highly recommend Valencia Travel to anyone looking to book a trip to Peru.
    Thank You!!

    Great experience with lots of attention and preparation from the guides and the team! They gave all the information during the tour, picked up at the destination and what was special was also that they provided us with some side destinations on the way to the archaeological sites, like local restaurants and some different stores.

    Freddie and Roger were amazing guides! They took plenty of stops for us to take pictures of the views, which were amazing. The whole drive out there is gorgeous. Roger was very knowledgeable about the Incan history and little fun facts about the area. 10/10 would recommend them

    I did the rainbow mountain group tour with Ricardo and it was awesome! He made the trek enjoyable and did a great job explaining everything before we got to the trailhead. Would definitely recommend!

    The staff are very friendly and helpful.
    Nice arrangement for the trips. I booked 5 trips from them and was unable to join couple trips. I reached out to them for that situation. The team understood that and refund for that. Did not expect to get refund though. They also remind you for the next day trip and most of the meals they offer are great. Had a great time join the trips hosted by them. Would like to come back again and day expedition travel would definitely be the choice.

    工作人員都非常友好和樂於助人。
    行程安排不錯。 我從他們那裡預訂了 5 次旅行,但無法參加兩個行程。 我聯繫了他們。 團隊明白這一點並為此退款。 他們還提醒您第二天的旅行,他們提供的大部分餐點都很棒。 參加他們舉辦的旅行玩得很開心。 想再次回來庫斯科,一日探險旅行肯定是選擇。

    We had a wonderful time riding to the Devils Balcony with Vieja Estancia, which was much more fun on horseback than just hiking. Holger was knowledgeable and shared interesting history and back stories about the sites, including the coloring some caves nearby. His team were super accommodating and made sure we were safe. The horses were evidently well cared for and have great spirits, which as a rider, is a major consideration. Wish we had more time to ride more with them

    Tour to Ica and Huacachina

    We had done 4 different tours with them in Cusco area so, when we learned about the possibility of visiting Ica from Lima, we spoke to Joan and in 30 min. we had a fully organised private tour to Ica for the next day! There's nothing else as a tourist you can ask for.

    The tour around Ica was very nice and Huacachina was simply breathtaking. Thanks to Carlos who was very friendly and showed us the main spots in town. "Chancho a la botija" was delicious!!

    Thank you guys!!

    My family trip to Cusco, Peru was one of the most incredible experiences thanks to
    KC Peru Expedition. I’ve been on lots of trips, visited a lot of countries and have dealt with my fair share of tour guides, I have never experienced tour guides like this duo here.

    They made our entire trip seamless (there was 11 of us!) and also treated us like family the entire time and went above & beyond in more ways than one. I’m talking about doing food shopping for us and dropping it off at 11:30 PM at night after we came back from our excursion so we’d have food the next day.

    Thank you KC Peru Expedition for making our trip magical! If you ever plan on visiting Cusco, be sure to have them handle your whole experience.

    My experience with What a Trip was excellent!! All guides were experienced and knowledgeable, Nicholas managed to coordinate everything perfectly for us including all transport from one place to the other. The whole team was very responsive and attentive to everything needed by our group. All activities organized were special and really interesting e.g. learning about wool making. It was a lifetime experience and we couldn’t have done it without the What a Trip team! Thank you!!

    We have just completed a two week visit to Peru organised by Cultura Viva Peru. The trip included a week in Bolivia inserted into the middle and most tours were private.

    Transfers. There were many for this trip as we were in and out of locations frequently either via road, boat or air. On the whole transfers were seamlessly integrated with each other. Of particular note was the day we were entering Bolivia. Towards the border, two sections of road were being upgraded which required the road to be closed for two hours in each location. Our driver found a detour for the first road closure, saving us a huge amount of time. Unfortunately, the second road closure was the last two or so kilometres from the Bolivia border so we had to get out of the car and walk. Our guide assisted with the luggage and arranged to have two trikes available for us at the end of the roadworks to ferry us to the border. Brilliant service and coordination with the Bolivian agents.

    The tours were all first class. Guides were knowledgeable, the subject matter interesting and drivers were adept at getting us around safely. If you haven’t been to Peru, it’s time to start thinking about it. Incredible scenery, good food and of course Pisco Sour make it a fine destination…just be prepared for the altitude.

    We also threw a few curve balls at the agency. Both of us came down sick at one point and they advised us on finding a doctor and then continued to check in on us throughout the journey. There was one tour we decided to cancel (Rainbow Mountain) and without any expectation from our side, the company offered us an option of using a driver to do a half day self guided tour for no extra cost. This type of service is above and beyond anything we had expected which is why we have no hesitation in recommending Cultura Viva Peru Chay to anyone visiting Peru.

    I was planning to take a trip to Cusco for quite some time and it was in my bucket list and wanted to try and find a travel agency that can make this trip happen for me. I came across Coca life and it was the best thing that happened to me. Coming across this agency exceeded my expectations and gave me the most memorable trip I could ask for. Despite me not being native to the country they treated me as their own and showed me the culture and wonders of what Peru has. 10/10 I would recommend this agency over and over again. When traveling to Peru do not hesitate to choose Coca Life
