I recently had the pleasure of going on a private tour to Peru organized by Valencia Travel, and I can’t recommend them enough! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing. The entire team was incredibly professional and attentive, especially Natividad, Miguel, and Carlos. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment throughout the trip. Their expertise and passion for Peru's culture and history added so much depth to our explorations. The accommodations were perfect, providing a great balance of comfort and local charm. Each hotel felt like a delightful retreat after our adventurous days. The care taken in planning our itinerary was evident, as we got to experience the stunning sights of Peru without feeling rushed. Thank you to the entire team at Valencia Travel for making this journey unforgettable. I left with wonderful memories and a heart full of gratitude. If you're looking to explore Peru, look no further than Valencia Travel!
24 day Ultimate Sth America trip with Trip A Deal from Australia. Valencia and Juan Callado in particular made our 13 days Cusco leg a wonderful experience. Juan was born in Peru and was very knowledgeable about his country, people and culture. Planning daily was exceptional, highly organized and made everything seem faultless. Even the small details like sending passport details onto forward hotels to speed up check in. Birthday cake for people’s birthdays ( taken from passport details, to audio devices ( whispers) for our walking tours. No one else came close on our overall trip to the care and attention that Juan showed our group. Thank you Juan and Valencia Travel
My holiday experience in Peru was made exceptional thanks to our guide, Ruben Soto Vera. From the outset, his warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for everyone created a welcoming atmosphere. Ruben’s knowledge of Peru is outstanding. He shared the country’s history and culture with clarity and enthusiasm, enriching every destination we visited. His organisation and attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the journey. The itinerary was well balanced, with a perfect mix of guided experiences and free time. Ruben truly made this trip memorable and rewarding.
The tour was marvellous and to see such ancient sacred sights up close and personal was amazing. Walking the paths of so many previous occupants of the beautiful Andes was a thrill. The tours in their completeness were action packed but worth the effort. Our stops were very informative and our guest speakers spoke amazing English which added to our interests. Our guide Jose was very knowledgeable about the beautifully preserved Inca Sacred valley and Machu Pichu itself. Jose was an extremely polite host and guide, he was very conscious of the varying age gaps of our group and made sure the pace was adjusted to suit all. Thoroughly recommend the package trip adventure and learning awaits you.
We had a wonderful trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu, our tour guide named Claudio Cesar Andia Paz from Valencia Travel Agency provided us with excellent service. Claudio is a warm, friendly, also very experienced & knowledgeable tour guide, he took care of us in every aspects. I want to mention that Claudio had tried his best to help us out when he found out we couldn't locate our baggage at Lima airport & thankfully we finally found out it had been transferred incorrectly to Cusco instead of Lima airport. We greatly appreciate having Claudio with us on our trip & will definitely miss him & all the beautiful memories on this trip. Cheers, Sieu Di Huynh & Dieu Hoa Lu
Superb journey from.Cusco to Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu and return. Our guide, Claudio, was always helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and brought great cheer to the amazing sites and experiences.
Ruben was our guide for Cusco and Machu Picchu.We had him for 6days. He was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, very well organised and everything ran very smoothly . He also looked after us very well . I would thoroughly recommend him
We were able to experience Peru with Corina from Valencia Travel Cusco and she and the 6 day tour were stellar ! The tour ran like clockwork and Corina always kept a watchful eye on all of us ! She like the country is amazing ! The hotels, transfers and sites were all grand and right in the center of everything ! Corina’s knowledge and experience with all the sites we visited was top notch . We learned so much about her Inka ancestors and throughly enjoyed the food and history. Machu Pichu was obviously the highlight and Corina encouraged us to think positively for good weather and it was delivered !
We had a wonderful holiday in Peru, it was so much more than we expected. Our tour guide Eduardo was exceptional, very friendly and knowledgeable...we have done 14 tripadeal holidays and we rate Eduardo as one of our top guides. Everything from transport to hotels to activities was excellent. Macchu pichou was amazing... highly recommended...
Valerie & I personally want to thank Claudio, from Valencia Travel Cusco, for the way he treated us and our whole 32 people group and how brought us all together as a “family” and that we also have stayed a family since we left his tour, as the long lasting friendships we forged while with him was amazing. His attention to detail and his concern for our health and well being during our trip was the best we have ever received. The itinerary was explained and we shown the best parts while we were there. He is a credit to your company as a personal tour guide with a passionate outlook to the way he shows you his amazing county and how proud he is of it, and how humble he is to be able to do it. We are already planning a reunion sometime next year with everyone. Again thank you for allowing him to be our guide and being an absolutely amazing human being, The rest of his colleagues were also excellent especially William in helping us on our tour. Thanks Mark & Valerie Forever in our memories. Please pass thin onto your employer as a reference to the quality of your commitment to your your work.
WOW - awesome - sensational stuff. We did this Machu Picchu tour as part of an overall 5-week package with Trip-a-Deal and the Peru section, including Machu Picchu, was managed by VALENCIA TRAVEL CUSCO. I would thoroughly recommend Valencia Travel in Peru. Our main guide from Valencia Travel was Claudio Andia and he also had several other colleagues with him to assist with pick ups, bus drivers and other guides because our group was quite large (32 people) Claudio got our whole group together on the very first night, and he created a "FAMILY" out of us all which was reinforced through a What's App chat group that Claudio set up for us. I think this also made the entire trip more enjoyable, so much so that we carried that FAMILY group on for the rest of out trip - another 4 weeks through South America and Antarctica. I can't thank you enough Claudio and Valencia Travel and Trip a Deal for creating such a fantastic Family Group Dynamic.
Rueben was an outstanding guide! His leadership skills and personal interest in his group ensured that our group became very cohesive. He went above and beyond to provide support. His knowledge was deep, and he gave us such a good insight into life in Peru! Highest recommendation! Thankyou Rueben! Best guide ever! Washington was an outstanding driver, thanks for keeping us safe.
Excellent from start to finish Ruben and Edwardo made the whole trip a fantastic experience Their organisation skills made the trip
The tour guide was amazing, Ruben was the best guide I have ever experienced, everyone in the group was so sad he was not coming for the complete trip. He is an amazing tour guide Trip-a-deal should have him do the complete trip.
Fantastic trip, loved all of it. Our guides Ruben and Eduardo were exceptional. The stay in the jungle and the trip to Macchu Piccu was amazing.
The places we visited were wonderful and our guide Ruben Soto Vera had excellent knowledge of all the Incan sites. Machu Picchu was a highlight even though the weather was foggy and occasionally raining, it was a once in a lifetime experience. Cusco is an interesting city as it was central to the Incas and visiting the main Cathedral and sites around it were fascinating. We also did an Amazon extension. The Corte Maltes lodge was comfortable and food plentiful. Staff were attentive and friendly. The highlight was visiting a native tribe upriver who showed us how they hunted for food and grew their own crops and animals. Their simple lifestyle was inspirational. Would recommend.
Great trip, Peru is a beautiful country. The trip was titled Incredible Andes and it lived up to its name, from the jungle to the mountains absolutely beautiful! Our guide Ruben was knowledgeable and helpful and had a great sense of humour, him as long with Edwardo made for a fun informative trip. Highly recommend!
My friend and I loved the tour. We saw so much and our guides were very knowledgeable. Reuben and Edoardo were awesome guides and looked after us 70+ ladies like true gentleman. It was a great experience 😀😀😀😀
We really enjoyed our tour with Ruben and Edwardo! They explained the plan very detailedly and are very thoughtful and funny. We had enough time for each site, took lots of beautiful photos and didn’t feel rushed at all. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
Trip of a lifetime. I can't believe we covered so much in such a short time and didn't feel rushed. These guys know the country inside out, happily shared stories and knowledge AND managed our group to perfection. Early starts, less busy times, feel perfectly safe and considered. Great guides and all associated with them. Our main guide Ruben looked after us as family. Enormously grateful to Amazon guides Raul, Ronaldo and the lodge team. And Cusco guide Eduardo, excellent 👏 I am so happy to have been part of this experience and would highly recommend them. Really wonderful trip made even more special by such professional, happy and fun guides.
The best part of the tour was our tour guide Ruben. He was amazing, sure the places we went to good, but Ruben, worth his weight in Inca gold!!!
Great experience, Ruben and Edwardo were fantastic and couldn't fault the way the tour was organised. Would travel with them again no problems.
Ruben and Edwardo were incredible. The selection of the accommodation and food was beyond my expectations. The local guides during the Amazon went beyond the call of duty.
Our guide Ruben was amazing. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Went above and beyond to help us when our flights were cancelled. Loved the whole tour.
Ruben was an amazing tour guide for the duration of the tour: friendly, funny, and well organized and informed about everything. Ruben went above and beyond to provide additional lengthy assistance, after our scheduled flights were delayed, cancelled, and then rescheduled by LATAM in the worst way possible. Ruben worked overtime to ensure that our flights were rescheduled so that our entire group arrived together in Rio. Kudos and grateful thanks on behalf of all of us (family).
Our Peruvian experience has been wonderful! We have enjoyed great accommodation, food and exceptional sights. Our guide Ruben was very informative and attentive ensuring that the whole tour group maximised their holiday experience! Keith and Fiona, Sydney Australia
Ruben, our tour guide, was fantastic, has a good sense of humour, is very well organised, and is a great source of knowledge and information. Without Ruben, we would have been stranded at Santiago airport and missed the connecting flight to Lima as LATAM unexpectedly changed the departure gate but didn’t make an English language announcement. Ruben realised what was happening and ensured that our group caught our flight with no problems.
The trip was incredible and Ruben was such an amazing guide. Seeing Machu Picchu at sunrise was breathtaking. Highly recommended.
Our tour guide Andrés Noriega was a very knowledgeable, thoughtful, caring and nice person. Definitely he added value to this amazing experience.
The visit to Peru has been a bucket list for me for a long time and it didn’t disappoint. Our guide, Rolly Carrasco, was incredible, articulate, knowledgeable, so passionate about his amazing country, very organised , and was the best guide we have ever had. He really brought the culture and colour of Peru alive. On a personal note, he gave me the most memorable birthday celebration. I thoroughly recommend Rolly and Valencia Travel to visit Peru.
Rolly and Nicho were got tour guides who went the extra mile and knew a lot of history about Peru. Totally recommend this trip to anyone.
I had an absolutely amazing time on this tour of Peru. Machu Picchu was definitely the highlight but the tour was full of wonderful experiences. Our tour guide, Rolly, was extraordinary. He went above and beyond every day to make sure everyone on the tour had the best time. We always knew what was happening each day and what we would need. He recommended great restaurants and helped with money exchanging, finding atms, pharmacies, etc. I would highly recommend Valencia travel for their care and attention to detail.
Amazing trip, Cusco is my new favourite city. Our guide Rolly was excellent, his passion was infectious and his knowledge is second to none. Rolly went above and beyond his duties to ensure we had a fantastic time.
What a wonderful trip. Great great scenery, great information and great tour leader - well organised, hard working, very informative and at times funny too. Machu Picchu was the highlight of course. A very uplifting experience. Thanks Valencia Travel and Rolly Carasco for the best of our many guided trips
Thanks to our fabulous guide, Rolly Carrasco, this was an amazing, stress free trip. Rolly was not only a caring, conscientious and efficient guide but a knowledgeable and passionate ambassador for his country which made the trip as special as it could be.
Amazing tour guide is what I would call Rubin. Valencia is the best company to work with. The paid a lot of attention to detail and was very flexible.
We had an awesome time with Aldo! After long transit days between Peruvian towns, he organised unique walking tours around the respective towns after having a little siesta. Aldo is super knowledgeable and it really shows how proud he is of his country. Edu who also joined for the Cusco/Machu Picchu part of our trip was also very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the days of the tour! Overall an awesome itinerary for anyone who wants to visit the highlights of Peru.
We had Aldo as our local guide for the whole 6 days and he was amazing. We saw so many amazing things the highlight of course being Machu picchu. The trip was demanding, especially with the effects on our breathing and fitness with the high altitude. There is a lot of climbing stairs but all well worth it.
Also our tour guide made the trip a experience of a lifetime. We have ticked off our bucket list with this experience. Would highly recommend this group tour.
Fantastic tour brilliantly run by tour guide, Washington,coach drivers & associated tour guides. Well done Valencia Travel,will definately recommend this tour to friends & family.
Prepare to be blown away by the incredible experience of having Aldo as your tour guide. From the moment you meet him, you'll feel like you've known him for years. With his warm and friendly nature, he effortlessly makes you feel like a part of his family. Get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure as Aldo takes you to countless breathtaking locations in Machu Picchu. And when it's time to rest and recharge, the hotels he selects will leave you speechless with their luxurious amenities and stunning views. Get ready for an extraordinary journey with Aldo as your guide.
Machu Picchu is wonderful! Much better than I expected. Our tour leader Frank is very knowledgeable and looked after us with every care.
As bucket lists go, you'd have to say that Machu Picchu is up there on most traveler's "must see" itineraries. For me, I'm not much a bucket list kind of guy. It’s the journey as much as the destination that excites me. So, when we headed out on the Cusco-Aguas Calientes-Puno circuit with Valencia Travel, I was expecting a simple tour of the sights with a polished, if somewhat overview, commentary. What we got was so much more! Our excellent guide and tour host, Hugo Tamayo, brought passion, humour, and knowledge into everything we did. Hugo, a proud Quechuan man, enthusiastically spoke about his people, their culture, their connection to the Cusco region, and the oppression they suffered at the hands of the Inkas and Spanish. He spoke about modern Peru, it political and social challenges, and his hopes for its future. He brought a depth of understanding that simply would not have been possible otherwise as a tourist. Coming to Peru, I possessed little knowledge of its history or the many tribes that had worked the lands. I was intrigued by the intricate and precise stone work of the temples, the engineering behind their irrigation systems, and their ability to thrive and establish an artisan culture and religious order as advanced as those of Europe and Asia. Hugo’s detailed explanations of the ruins and crafts that we saw and respect for his forbearers, drove home just how extraordinary Peru is. Yes, Machu Picchu did not disappoint. We had a magical afternoon around the ruins and even more stunning climb to the top of Huayna Picchu the next morning. But it was what Hugo said to me that really brought it all into clear focus. As we stood above the temple complex, with the Urubanba River boiling across the rocks far below and distant mountains capped in snow shining in the evening light, Hugo spoke of the energy in the place. Focused by the valleys and gorges and centered on Machu Picchu, there was a power in the place that defied description. An almost spiritual energy that you could feel vibrate through the earth. An exceptional experience that will long be remembered.
Just finished the Trip a Deal tour of 11 Day 2 for 1 Peru 2023-05-11. The tour guide Hugo Tamayo was exceptional, he treated is group as his family and this is how we felt. His knowledge was also very impressive. Hugo has a very personal approach to his tours and went above and beyond exceeding our expectations. I would highly recommend.
Lenin did an amazing job. We were 6 couples traveling together and he managed all of the logistics. Great food and hotels
Peru is colourful and full of history. Machu Piccu had been on my bucket list for years and it superseded all my expectations! Alex, our fabulous guide, with his enthusiasm, knowledge and expertise made this possible. With trains, buses and planes to catch he attended to these without fuss and made our holiday completely stress-free. When I think of Peru, I will think of Alex and the love he has for his country. I will cherish these memories forever.
Wow, just wow!! Alex was our guide and he left no stone unturned. He was all over the data and facts and ensured our group made the most of our time. He supported travelers with extraneous issues and made our trip 110%, go Alex.
What an experience ! Corina our guide was excellent , she is very knowledgeable and patient with our group. Thanks to our group driver Ronald for keeping us safe . Valencia Tours is a company you can trust to give you the best service in Peru
Everything were amazing. The tour was an experience of a lifetime. The altitude sickness is real. I have triple bypass not to mention my age, I succeeded the 16,000ft of the Rainbow Mountain. Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain is unbelievably beautiful. The tour guide Corina Duran is friendly and very energetic, she has no dull moments. She is so worried about me, gave me her walking stick. She is 2 thumbs up. The driver Ronald is so polite and a very good driver.
