What are the 10 Best Peru Travel Agencies & Tour Companies in 2024?

With colorful Indigenous communities, ancient archaeological sites, and a lush jungle region, it’s no wonder Peru is a heavy favorite in South America. Whether your dream is to sandboard down the dunes of Huacachina, follow in the footsteps of the Sapa Inca by conquering the Inca Trail, or learn how to make ceviche, working with the right travel agency will help you make the most of your time abroad.

We know there’s a dizzying amount to choose from, so we’ve narrowed it down to ten of the best Peru travel agencies, taking into account the presence of local offices, their number of years in the industry, commitment to sustainability, and range of Amazon and Peru tours on offer.

Best time to visit peru.

Peru is a fascinating country with four distinct geographical regions. Not many countries can offer beaches, mountains, rainforests and deserts on one visit. These distinct regions offer something for everyone, which is why most Intrepid tours operate all year round.

June, July and August are considered the driest months in the Highlands and Amazon basin and are optimal for hiking and river journeys. However, even during the rainy season in the Amazon, the rains only fall for a few hours at a time. In the Andes, the rainy season can sometimes just mean a bit of overcast weather.

Remember that the Inca Trail is closed for maintenance in February, although there are other treks to Machu Picchu which are available at this time.

Learn more about the best time to visit Peru

Culture and customs

Like many other South American nations, contemporary Peru is a rich mix of the modern and the ancient. In the highlands, where most of the population is Quechua or Aymara (descendants of the Incas), people speak their local language, wear traditional clothes, follow Inca traditions and chew coca leaves. Most lead agricultural lives and there is a great deal of poverty.

This is a stark contrast to the  European -influenced coast, which is considerably wealthier and mixed with Europeans, Mestizo (mix of Spanish and indigenous), Afro-Peruvians, Japanese  and Chinese immigrants.

Cultural festivals offer fascinating insights into the ancient customs of Peru that have been carried on from Inca times, with centuries-old food, clothing, song and dance playing an integral role in these celebrations.

What unites the country is a reverence for religion and family, as well as a love for soccer, or  futbol , as it’s called here.

Eating and drinking

Peruvians take their food seriously. Whether you’re in a village or a large city, your taste buds will thank you for visiting this South American nation.

Peruvian cuisine draws on a mix of Andean, Spanish, African and Asian influences. Stews and soups made with potatoes (Peru grows more than 4,000 varieties!), corn and quinoa are common, particularly in the highlands. Japanese-inspired seafood dishes and chifas (Peruvian-Chinese fusion) restaurants are also popular along the coast.

The cuisine is meat-heavy, but vegetarian options aren’t hard to come by - particularly dishes featuring avocados which grow abundantly throughout the country.

Taste your way through Peru on our  10 day Peru Real Food Adventure.

Foods to try in Peru

Peru's national dish is made with fish marinated in lime juice, onions, salt and chili peppers. It's typically served with chunks of corn on the cob and sweet potato. Cevicherias in Lima do it best.

Adventurous eaters should add cuy (guinea pig) to their must-try list. Roasted and usually served whole, it’s a popular staple in the highlands.

3. Lomo saltado

This beef or alpaca stir-fry is a popular chifa dish found across Peru. 

4. Pisco sour

Made by mixing pisco, the national brandy, with lime juice, egg whites and sugar, this creamy and zesty cocktail goes down a treat. 

5. Coca tea

Rumored to help with altitude sickness, this tea made from coca leaves is drunk by locals all over the Andes region and is hailed for its 'medicinal' properties.

Geography and environment

Peru is home to a diverse range of landscapes, including parts of the Amazon Basin, the Andean mountain range and Lake Titicaca. Not to mention areas of tropical savanna, desert, cloud forest and mangroves. Peru also has a long stretch of coast along the Pacific Ocean.

The Pacific Coast alternates between narrow bands of desert and fertile valleys, while the Andes cut through the center of the country, separating the coast from the jungle. Machu Picchu, Cusco and Puno are all located in the Highlands region.

History and government

Early history.

Archaeological evidence indicates that early life in Peru started up to 11,000 years ago, with nomadic people living a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Organized civilizations based on land cultivation appear to have been established sometime around 6000 BC.

Over the centuries, Peru has seen many different civilizations rise and fall, grow and decline and evidence of these ancient civilizations can be found all around the country today, with the Nazca Lines being one of the most enigmatic examples.

However, the Incas lay claim to being one of the most famous and revered empires of all. Spanning from 1438 to 1532 AD, the audacious Inca Empire was responsible for one of the world's most impressive archaeological ruins – Machu Picchu.

Recent history

Military coups and regional disputes have dominated Peru's more recent history. The period between 1960 and 1990 saw lots of political instability and economic difficulty. With world commodity prices leveling out, Peru's agriculture-based economy suffered, as did its population who were largely reliant on farming.

New leadership in the 1990s and beyond has led to economic reforms and trade promotion, which has driven economic growth.

Celebrating the centenary of the re-discovery of Machu Picchu in 2011, Peru continues to enjoy widespread international attention for its cultural and historical riches.

Must-visit places in Peru

Peru isn't short of bucket list-worthy wonders. Here are just a few must-visit places to experience on your trip:

1. Machu Picchu

No matter how many photos you've seen, nothing can prepare you for seeing Machu Picchu in the flesh. Time slips away as you try to uncover the ruins' secrets and marvel at how such grandeur is possible in such a remote place.

Immerse yourself in ancient history on our 8 day  Inca Trail Express from Lima  tour.

History comes to life in Cusco . You can't turn a corner without coming across another reminder of its Inca past. Ruins are everywhere, and even new, elegant buildings have been built upon old Inca temples, houses and markets.

3. Sacred Valley

This fertile valley is packed with Inca sites including the massive fortress of Ollantaytambo. Visit on market day when the laidback villages come to life. The cobbled streets fill with every color, produce and animal imaginable.

Trek through llama-filled plains on our 15 day  Sacred Land of the Incas trip.

4. Amazon Jungle

Spend mornings watching colorful macaws and monkeys, and afternoons learning about traditional plant usage or spotting crocs in oxbow lakes. Then, at night, get your torch ready to seek out the jungle's larger creatures.

Spend a weekend in the Amazon on our 4 day  Amazon Jungle Short Break.

Peru's capital is home to unexpected treasures. Dig beneath the city's surface to uncover pre-Columbian temples, a touch of elegance and a huge dose of modern distractions; like the cafe-rich district of Miraflores. Lima is also world-renowned for its incredible food scene.

Savor the flavors of Lima on our 20 day  Peru Encompassed tour.

6. Arequipa

The White City, as it's affectionately known, is spectacular. Surrounded by canyons, volcanoes and deserts, the location is perfect for exploring Peru's wild side. But the true beauty of the city is in its buildings, built from white volcanic rock.

7. Colca Canyon

While the canyon is a dramatic sight (it's twice as deep as the Grand Canyon), it's a glimpse of the elusive Andean condor that will really get your heart racing. With a wing span of 3.2 meters, this bird doesn't just glide, it soars.

Marvel at this massive canyon on a 21 day  Peru Essentials tour.

8. Lake Titicaca

Big enough to house countless island communities, coca smugglers and the entirety of Bolivia's navy, Lake Titicaca is massive. Remnants of ancient cultures are everywhere and many communities live on reed islands as they have done for hundreds of years.

See Peru through the eyes of the locals on a  Lake Titica Homestay.

9. Nazca Lines

The Nazca Lines are one of the world's great mysteries. Shapes of spiders, monkeys and birds are drawn into the desert landscape over 500 sq kilometers. The most amazing part? They're only visible from the air.

10. Aguas Calientes

Whether you've just trekked the Inca Trail or traveled by train through the Sacred Valley, Aguas Calientes is the perfect place to stop, soak in a steaming thermal bath and reflect on the adventure so far.

Explore the 'gateway to Machu Picchu' on our  9 Premium Peru trip.

You'll find vendors selling colorful Peruvian handicrafts at tourist spots across the country. When possible, try to carry small bills and coins, as it can be difficult for vendors to give change, especially in remote areas.

Things to buy in Peru

1. Alpaca wool clothing

As one of the largest alpaca wool producers in the world, you'll find alpaca wool clothing almost everywhere in Peru. Beautiful shawls, ponchos and jumpers are the perfect way to keep warm, as Peruvians have traditionally done for centuries.

The classic hallmark of any backpacker who has traveled through South America, the chullo (knitted hat with ear flaps) might be a bit of a travel cliché but will be well-received as a gift back home.

3. Jewelery

Good quality gold and silver earrings, rings and bracelets are widely available throughout Peru, with classic Inca-style designs proving popular.

Festivals and events in Peru

Festivals are an important part of Peruvian culture. If you're lucky (or very organized), your trip may coincide with one of these lively fiestas:

1. Virgen de la Candelaria (Virgin of the Candlemas)

The city of Puno celebrates its patron saint with an epic, two-week party each November. Join in the revelry as performers parade the streets in elaborate costumes and masks. 

2. Mistura Culinary Festival

Mistura is a massive event held in September where thousands of Peruvians and tourists come together to celebrate the country’s cuisine in Lima.

3. Cusco Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun)

Every year on June 24, Cusco celebrates the winter solstice with street dances, parades and a re-enactment of the Inca winter solstice festival at the Sacsayhuaman ruins.

4. Carnaval

Each year before Lent cities across Peru host Carnaval celebrations, but the festivities in Cajamarca are known for being the wildest – and wettest. Visitors flock to the city for nine days of dancing, partying, parades and water fights.

Highlights of Peru

However you get to Machu Picchu – whether it’s through spectacular scenery on the classic Inca Trail, through small Andes villages on the Inca Quarry Trail, or over mega mountain passes on the Choquequirao Trail – the feeling of reaching this otherworldly archaeological site will stay with you for a lifetime. This ancient 15th-century citadel is a spectacular reminder of the ingenuity of the Inca civilization.

• Peru Encompassed

2. Arequipa

Be dazzled by the 'White City' of Arequipa. Standing at the foot of El Misti Volcano, Arequipa vies with Cusco for the title of Peru's most attractive city. Wander the famous Plaza de Armas and while away the days in cozy cafes, admire the city's beautifully built churches and the iconic Basilica Cathedral, or learn about ancient mummies in the Andean Sanctuaries Museum.

• Premium Peru in Depth
• Premium Peru in Depth with Ica Valley

Shrouded in mystery, the Nazca Lines is one of the world’s most intriguing archaeological sites. Thanks to dry desert conditions, these geoglyphs – which date back to the 2nd century BC – and the mummies, textiles, ceramics and other relics that have been discovered here, offer a rare glimpse into pre-Inca life. Climb to the viewing platform, or perhaps take a flight over the lines for an epic view.

• Peru Essentials

4. Puerto Maldonado

Experience the magic of the Amazon on an enthralling jungle adventure. Hike beneath cool, leafy canopies while looking for monkeys, parrots and otters; cruise along the Amazon on a canoe; learn about the healing properties of native plants with a local guide, and swap your alarm clock for the songs and croaks of toucans and other tropical birds.

• Real Peru to Bolivia

Welcome to the capital of Peru. Lima is one of the most up-and-coming foodie destinations, so the best way to explore is through your tastebuds! Be sure to sample ceviche (the country’s national dish), washed down with a pisco sour in the bustling Barranco neighborhood. Then, stroll through the beautiful Lima Cathedral, or swing your hips to folk music at a peña  (a traditional Peruvian music venue).

• Galapagos & Inca Trail Adventure
• Majestic Peru
• Galapagos & Peru Adventure

6. Lake Titicaca

Defy logic while standing on Lake Titicaca’s famous floating islands, which are made entirely out of reeds by the Uros people (who still live on them!). Surrounded by striking peaks on the border of Peru and Bolivia , this is one of the highest lakes in the world. Dive into learning about the history of the lake and its communities, or simply enjoy the bliss of being immersed in nature.

• Lake Titicaca Homestay

Cusco is South America's oldest continuously inhabited city and was the home of the Inca for two centuries before the Spanish arrived. Today, it’s a fascinating combination of both cultures. Tour the Coricancha Temple, wander the World Heritage-listed Cusco Cathedral, peruse the colorful San Pedro market, or do the incredible Inkilltambo trek on the city’s outskirts.

• Classic Peru
• Peru Family Holiday

8. Sacred Valley

Treasured for its climate and fertile land, Sacred Valley has long been the main food source in the high Andes. It’s also home to the ruins of Sacsayhuaman, another site that will show you how incredible the Inca civilization was. Take part in an ancient cooking ritual known as pachamanca with the Chichubamba community; do a traditional chocolate and corn beer workshop; or climb the steep terraces to Ollantaytambo where sweeping views over the valley await.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Do I need a visa to travel to Peru?

Peru has visa-free travel agreements with most countries, and foreign nationals including those from the  United Kingdom , United States,  New Zealand  and  Canada  do not require a visa for tourism purposes. Eligible foreign nationals will be issued a free visitor permit in their passport upon arrival.

The page is for general information only and may be subject to change. It is your responsibility to obtain relevant visa and travel information required for entry, departure and travel to each country or region you visit on your trip. You should confirm these with the relevant embassies and/or consulates.

Is tipping customary in Peru?

While tipping isn't mandatory in Peru, it's customary to add spare change or a small amount to restaurant bills. Although most restaurants and bars may already include a 10% service charge within the bill, feel free to add more if the service was good. Taxi drivers generally don't expect tips.

What is the internet access like in Peru?

Internet can be accessed at hotels, restaurants and cafes in large cities, but it can be more limited in rural and remote areas.

Can I use my cell phone while in Peru?

Cell phone coverage is generally good in Peru’s cities, but may not be available in more remote and mountainous areas. Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before leaving home. You could also buy a local SIM card when you arrive.

What's the weather like in Peru?

The weather in Peru differs from region to region with coastal areas experiencing a subtropical desert climate, a tropical climate in the Amazon rainforest and a temperate climate in the Andes (places like Cusco and Arequipa). While varying climates can mean the best time to visit  Peru  changes depending on the region you're visiting; generally, May to October sees consistently dry and sunny days perfect for enjoying the vibrant cities and beautiful landscapes of this  South American  country. 

What to wear in Peru

Wearing layers made of natural, breathable fabrics like linen and cotton is a good idea for Peru's varying climates. Merino wool is good for hiking and trekking as it wicks away moisture and regulates body temperature, and lightweight, quick-drying sportswear is a good idea for hot weather.

What are the toilets like in Peru?

Peru has a mix of both squat toilets and western-style flushable toilets. It’s a good idea to carry your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer, as they are not always provided. Some public toilets charge a small usage fee. Expect to use squat toilets if traveling on the Inca Trail. 

What will it cost for a…?

Prices in restaurants and stores are generally listed in Peruvian   nuevos soles   (PEN). Below are the average prices for everyday items and services:

• Short ride on a public city bus = 1 PEN
• Bottle of beer = 4 PEN
• Street cart snack/lunch = 6 PEN
• Lunch in a café = 15 PEN
• Dinner at a nice restaurant = 30 PEN

Can I drink the tap water in Peru?

Drinking tap water isn't recommended in Peru . I t's also advisable to avoid ice in drinks and peel fruit and vegetables before eating . Your local leader will be able to help you find filtered water, and for environmental reasons, we suggest filling a reusable bottle to avoid buying plastic bottles.

Are credit cards widely accepted in Peru?

Most hotels, large retailers and tourist attractions accept credit cards but will usually charge a fee (about 7%) for using them. Expect to pay cash when dealing with small vendors, family-run restaurants and market vendors. 

What is ATM access like in Peru?

ATMs can be found in most of Peru's major cities and tourist areas. ATMs are far less common in rural areas and small villages so have enough cash to cover purchases when traveling away from the larger cities.

What public holidays are celebrated in Peru?

• 1 Jan: New Year’s Day
• 19 April: Good Friday
• 1 May: Labor Day
• 25 June: Inti Raymi
• 29 June: Feast of St Peter and St Paul
• 28-29 July: National Independence Days
• 30 Aug: Feast of Santa Rosa de Lima
• 8 Oct: Battle of Angamos Day
• 1 Nov: All Saints Day
• 8 Dec: Feast of the Immaculate Conception
• 25 Dec: Christmas

Please note: Peru public holidays may vary .

Do I need any vaccinations before visiting Peru?

No vaccines are required in order to enter Peru but some are recommended for protection against disease. Visit your doctor or travel clinic for advice and make sure to schedule vaccinations 4-6 weeks before your departure date, as some require time to become effective.

Recommended travel vaccines for Peru:

1. Hepatitis A (transmitted through contaminated water) 2. Typhoid (transmitted through contaminated water) 3. Yellow Fever (transmitted by mosquitos): This vaccination is recommended if you’re visiting Puno or the Amazon. Some countries require a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate for entry after visiting Peru. Do your research before leaving home to see if you require this vaccine.

What kinds of accommodation will I be staying in?

Experience home-grown hospitality and food while staying with a local family who live right on the shores of Lake Titicaca.

• Jungle Lodge

Stay close to the wildlife action in a lodge located within the leafy wilds of the awesome Amazon Jungle.

Camping along the Inca Trail is one of the world's most sought-after travel experiences. Bond with new friends over delicious local food and rest up before another day of trekking.

What kinds of transport will be used in Peru?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are much more fun.

Pedal along Lima’s incredible coastline, making your way through local areas and go on a cycling adventure to the epic Sacred Valley.

Spot exotic flowers, birds and mammals while enjoying a canoe ride down the mighty Amazon River.

Everyone gets a window seat while riding on the Vistadome train. The clear roof and windows allow maximum viewing for all.

Will I experience altitude sickness in Peru?

Most people can start to feel the effects of altitude at over 6561 feet (2000 m) regardless of age, gender or fitness level. While our leaders have basic first aid training and are aware of the closest medical facilities, it is very important that you make yourself aware of the cause and effects of traveling at altitude, monitor your health and seek assistance accordingly. It’s important to take it easy, drink plenty of water and speak to your group leader at once if you feel unwell.

We recommend seeing your doctor if you have any health concerns before undertaking the trip. Particularly if you have a pre-existing medical condition or take any medication.  

Is Peru a LGBTQI-friendly destination?

While it might be common to see rainbow flags displayed throughout the Andes, this is in fact the flag of the Inca Empire and not a gay pride flag. Peru is a conservative, Catholic country where LGBTQI-rights are still developing. Many members of the LGBTQI community don’t publicly identify themselves and generally Peruvians will tolerate homosexuality on a ‘don’t-ask-don’t-tell’ basis. While Lima may be more tolerant towards LGBTQI-travelers, it’s advised that you should exercise discretion when traveling in country areas. 

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting   Equaldex   or   ILGA   before you travel.

Does my trip to Peru support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to Peru directly support our foundation partner, Awamaki.

Awamaki empowers indigenous women in Peru with education and job opportunities. They offer lessons in quality control, product development and technical skills training for women artisans in rural Andean communities. Donations from our trips support the growth and development of their programs to lift more women into financial independence.  

Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

What is it like traveling on a small group tour?

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or you’re about to embark on your first trip, traveling can be as intimidating as it is exciting. That's the beauty of a small group tour. From handling the logistics and organizing amazing cultural activities to local leaders who know each destination like the back of their hand (like which street has the best markets and where to get the most authentic food), traveling on a small group tour with Intrepid will give you unforgettable travel experiences without the hassle that comes with exploring a new place. Plus, you'll have ready-made friends to share the journey with. All you have to do is turn up with a healthy sense of adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.

Arequipa is Peru’s second-largest city, after Lima. Known as the White City, many of Arequipa’s walls and buildings are constructed from white lava rock, or “sillar.” This material was emitted from the three volcanoes that guard the city: Misti, Chachani, and Pichu Pichu. The nearby Colca Canyon is one of the world’s deepest canyons and is a wonderful place for viewing the majestic Andean Condor and other wildlife.

Cusco, the Inca capital, is an amazing city where the ancient and modern coexist and thrive. Set amidst a backdrop of snow-capped Andean peaks, the city is replete with Inca stone architecture, known for its precision and beauty. Cusqueñans in colorful authentic dress can be seen leading alpacas and burros over its cobblestone streets. Famous for its Plaza de Armas and colonial buildings dating to antiquity, Cusco is the gateway to the Machu Picchu citadel.

Capital of Peru’s Ancash Department, Huaraz city is situated more than 3,000 meters (9842 feet) above sea level. The stupendous snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Blanca, the world’s tallest tropical mountain range looms over its eastern horizon. Huarascán National Park in the Cordillera Blanca encompasses areas of pristine wilderness including spectacular views, glacial lakes, rugged mountains, and abundant wildlife, including spectacled bears, Andean condors, and the ruthless jaguar.

Iquitos, located in the Peruvian Amazon, is the largest non-island city in the world that is accessible only by boat or air. Inhabited by indigenous peoples for thousands of years, it became a center of the rubber boom in the late 19thcentury. Today, it’s the starting point for boat expeditions to some of the most species-rich places on earth, including the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve, which is home to over 1000 animal species!

Founded in the mid-16th century, the coastal city of Lima is the capital of Peru. It is one of South America’s largest cities and is the center for Peruvian culture and world-class cuisine. Lima’s boasts an astonishing number of award-winning restaurants as well as several museums whose stunning collections trace Peru’s ancient civilizations. Ruins of some of the earliest civilizations known to man have been found near Lima.

Puerto Maldonado

Puerto Maldonado, founded in 1902, is located in the Madre de Dios region of Peru’s southeast. It is officially named the “Capital of Biodiversity in Peru” for the amazing variety of flora and fauna to be found in the wilderness areas surrounding the city. Most visitors come to stay in one of several eco-touristic lodges that offer access to jungle adventures focused on wildlife observation and bird-watching.

10 Things to Consider When Booking a Tour From a Peru Travel Agency

• 29 May, 2019
• by Erik Krause
• Reading time: 8 min

Have you ever found yourself sitting at your laptop after three hours of extensive research? And you still have the same questions, such as “which tour in Cusco shall I book?” or “which one is the best travel agency in Peru that can help me plan for my upcoming holiday?” I know that feeling.

And I’m sure many of you, too. Just to realize that you still don’t have any clue about the difference of the first and last tour or travel agency you researched and tried to compare.

In many cases, the presented information seems to be the same. And not only that, the  traveler satisfaction in Peru is decreasing  with risks of having a less exciting experience in the land of the Incas. In 2017, the numbers shrank from 78% to 74% and there is no improvement in sight yet.

Thousands of travelers face the same challenge. How to find out which is the best travel agency in Peru? Which is the best tour in Cusco? And certainly, there are many more.

Travellers love our tour to Palccoyo rainbow mountain and taking their new friend for a hike!

Especially when trying to compare different travel agencies in Peru. Due to missing information or too much similarity, travelers finally listen to their gut feeling hoping for the best. Or they choose an agency because the office staff smiled at them.

Let’s come to the point: How can you determine if the tour in Cusco will be the experience you’re looking for? Regardless of whether you’re up for mass tourism, semi private- or private tours.

Separating the good from the bad and determining what’s best for you, can be easier than you imagine.

However working in the Peruvian tourism industry for more than 5 years and being a passionate traveler myself, I learned what to look or ask for in case you can’t find the information you’re searching for.

How to Find the Right Travel Agency in Peru?

Here are some quick tips that will help you find the right travel agency in Peru:

1. Market Experience:

How many years of experience does the Peruvian travel agency have? This might give you an impression on how much experience they have with travelers (although that doesn’t mean that they are always improving their services. Many of Peru’s tour agencies keep their quality of service the same over various years.)

2. Transparency:

Does the travel agency share all the information you need to know? Or is there information hidden or unclear, such as group size, food, restaurants visited, safety or transportation? Does the tour include all of the sites you want to see?

How much time do you have on the sites to be visited? Is your tour just rushing from one site to the next or is there enough time to enjoy the views and the stories of the guide?

3. Reviews:

Is the travel agency well rated on TripAdvisor and do they respond to their reviews? What about Google or on-site reviews?

Make sure you don’t fall for false good or bad reviews. Those will most likely only have short statements or no text at all and are written by profiles with few information about the user.

It’s always better to trust the reviews with explanations or pictures than the ones that only say that the tour was good or bad!

We have received over 1100 5-star reviews from our explorers on TripAdvisor . 

4. Website:

How is the website built and designed? Does the structure, design and process help to answer your questions quickly?

Is the information easy to find? Can you choose different languages? Is the value proposition communicated clearly?

5. How Is Your Initial Contact Handled?

Do they respond quickly, directly and friendly in case you need to contact them? Is there a bot that helps you navigating through the web or answering questions the “do-it-yourself style”?

Do they care about you and your time instead of just sending copy paste itineraries or payment processes.

6. Terms & Cancellation Policies:

Have a look at the Terms & Conditions and at the cancellation policies, so you don’t end up with a bad surprise in case you cannot join a tour.

Some travel agencies have strict policies where you won’t get a refund in case you change or cancel your travel plans 4 weeks before the tour starts.

This doesn’t mean that the travel agency is bad, but just make sure that you know their policies so that you are prepared. Concerning this, it’s important to mention that if you want to do a  Machu Picchu Tour  you won’t get a refund if the tickets are bought already. This is due to the fact that they are not transferable to another person.

7. Fitness Level :

Does the travel agency present information about the difficulty of certain treks or about who is able to join them (kids, older people etc.)? It’s very important to know about the symptoms of the  altitude sickness and how to avoid it .

In case you are struggling with the altitude you can rent a horse ($20-25), which brings you almost to the top of Humantay Lake. 

8. Social Projects/ Sustainability:

Is the travel agency involved in a social project ? Do they focus on sustainability? They might charge you a little bit more, but if it’s for a good purpose then it’s definitely worth it.

Our travelers dressing up in the  local communities ´ traditional clothes.

9. Team Introduction:

Do you get to know their team on the website? It’s always good to have a clue “who” is behind the company instead of just having an About Us talking about “what” they stand for.

10. Payment:

How can you pay? Are safe payment options via deposit, PayPal or credit card offered?

With this information you can separate a good from a bad travel agency in Peru. But what about tours in Cusco?

How to Find the Best Tour in Cusco?

In the following, we will share some tips on what characteristics to look for on the travel agency’s website or in their office in order to find the best tour in Cusco .

1. Clear Information:

Can you easily find all the necessary information about the tour in Cusco (itinerary, price, group sizes, what’s included and what isn’t, terms and conditions etc.) on the webpage?

Does the tour cover all of the places you want to see? What about the itinerary

2.  Group size :

How big is the group of this tour? Is it too big so you don’t get any personalized attention from the guide?

Will the car be crowded and therefore uncomfortable because of too many travelers?

Will you have the chance to ask questions and be in the “first row” when the guide explains something? The maximum amount of people in the first row is 8. With more than 8 people, there will be a “second row” and you might have difficulties to understand what your guide says, potentially missing information.

Are the guides professionals and speak proper English? Are they passionate about what they do?

During our Vinicunca tour you’ll go to the viewpoint of the Red Valley, which is truly an incredible place. 

4. Inclusions:

It’s not about clearly presented information as mentioned in point 1, but whether you’ll have to organize things that aren’t included in the tour and that might cost you additional money or time while in Cusco, such as bringing hiking sticks.

Is food, water or snacks offered during the tour? If yes, are vegetarian or vegan options offered and how flexible are they with allergies? Is the restaurant clean?

What is the restaurant like where you enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner?

6. Differentiation:

Is there anything that differentiates this tour from the “standard” tours that you find?

7. Pick up – Drop off:

Where is pick up/ drop off point? Does the agency tend to pick up their travelers on time?

Is airport pickup/ drop-off included? How long does the pickup take? It’s always good to ask because sometimes it can take up to 1 hour or longer, also depending on the group size.

8. Accommodation:

In case the tour in Cusco includes an overnight stay, is it clearly mentioned in which hotel you will stay?

9. Transportation:  

Is the car clean, comfortable and does it offer enough leg space? Does the travel agency offer a safe car and an experienced driver? Is heating, air conditioner, or wifi available?

10. Schedule:

Is the schedule made in a way to avoid the crowds or is it just the standard itinerary that everyone uses?

Is enough time planned in for visiting the sites or will you rush from one spot to the next one?

11. Satisfaction Guarantee:

What happens in case you’re disappointed? Will you get your money back?

For us it is not only important that you learn more about the different sites and culture, but also that you enjoy your time to the fullest.

Enjoy Your Time in Peru

As you can see, there are quite some characteristics you should have a look at when  checking for travel agencies in Peru or tours in Cusco ,  online as well as in the destination itself.

These golden rules make sure that you can separate the good from the bad. When you check for all of this, you know what you can expect from the agency or the tour. No matter if you are planning on doing a 1-day tour , a  tour for several days in Cusco  or a  tour in the Peruvian jungle , the rules are always the same.

In case there’s another point you’d consider as important, I’m happy to read about this in the comments.

“My wife and I had a blast on this day trip. Our guide Solange was fantastic and Exploor made everything very easy, from reservation to pick up to drop off. We made it to the hike / lake before the crowds did which was totally worth it as it starts to fill up with people making it harder to get pictures and to enjoy.”

If booking with Exploorperu which location in Cusco is best area for ease of pick up and drop off Interested in 4 day adventure leaving bags in hostel Cusco. So would return at end of day and early pick. Regards Sylvia

Erik from Exploor Peru 25 September, 2021 at 6:42 pm

Great question Sylvia, thank you for asking! The best area is the Cusco city center, 5-6 blocks around the main square. In this area you’ll find most of the accommodations and it’s safe. Good hostels are for example Hostal El Grial or Kokopelli Hostel Cusco 🙂 Leaving your bags there won’t be a problem. We hope you’re excited about your adventure in Peru, Sylvia!

Susana 8 September, 2021 at 9:07 am

Buen día, cómo saber si una agencia es legal? Donde se puede verificar la información. Gracias

Oliver from Exploor 10 September, 2021 at 12:49 pm

Hola Susana, cómo estás? Recomendamos revisar si la agencia es una empresa formal constituida, si tiene las licencias adecuadas para poder operar o si está registrada en un gremio de turismo como MINCETUR o DIRCETUR etc. Lamentablemente aún hay muchas empresas informales acá en Perú por eso es muy importante revisar bien esa información. Saludos, Oliver
