Amazing and knowledgeable guides for our trip of a lifetime in Peru. All of our vacation visits were handled by LimaTours. For the duration of our trip, we felt safe and in good hands. All of our guides were professional, punctual, organized, and most of all, very knowledgeable. In Lima, Katy gave us a great tour of the city. The next day, he walked us to the airport and helped us check in for our flight to Arequipa. Our favorite guide of all, Henry V., was going to be with our group for the next two days from Arequipa to Puno. The transfer from the airport to the hotel in Arequipa was efficient and informative. We learned a lot about Peru from Henry; and that opinion was unanimous among our group of twelve. Our safe driver Julianos stopped for tours, shopping and pictures as requested. We were sad to leave them in Puno after seeing such beautiful sites, great restaurants with buffets, and of course all that new cultural understanding of Peru. In Puno, Jos_ used various maps and images to share his information about the Urus people, Lake Titicaca, and Taquile Island. Our next day was less positive from Puno to Cuzco. It has nothing to do with LimaTours as we were on a VIP bus from a different company. Our guide barely spoke English all day. He preferred to speak Spanish as there were several European travelers on our bus. After a free day in Cuzco, we were glad to be with Dream Team, our guide Patrick and Juan Carlos, our amazing bus driver (navigating through the traffic in Cuzco can be quite a challenge). Once again, there is much to learn and places to visit in the Sacred Valley and Ollantaytambo. At Machu Picchu, Marco E. guided us, explained and showed us, also using pictures, a very detailed and comprehensive picture of this beautiful site, Machu Picchu. He even took photos of our group and helped us get our passports stamped. In conclusion, I recommend LimaTours for your vacation in Peru.
This is a fantastic trip, it was well organised from start to finish, some of us were a day late arriving in Cuzco due a disruptive passenger having to be taking off the flight in an unscheduled stop, but the staff in London were really good at rearranging flights and keeping up to date with what was going on by email. Julio, the guide, was on hand at the hotel when we arrived to give us a tour of Cuzco in his own time, as we missed it the previous day. what made this trip really special was the other people on the trip, they were very friendly, and gave me lots of encouragement when walking up dead woman's pass, I found the walks very hard, but with help and lot of encouragement from Julio i made it.
Got splendid views of the mountains and the surroundings on this trek. The guide was very motivating especially when the trek began to be quite tough. We truly enjoyed Machu Picchu and having a guide made the tour even more enjoyable.
