    The excursions to Cusco, Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca were the most impressive. We thank the guide Ilicht for his professionalism. The only unpleasant thing was the lack of a prepaid transfer to Lima airport at the end of the tour. But thanks to the guide Roger we managed to not miss the flight.

    (Through Holland America). Of course Machu Picchu is awesome, beautiful, inspiring. Worth the pain! First, Callao is the pits, too bad snarled traffic showcases it. After the flight to Cusco, the city tour was very interesting. Great colonial buildings, and remains of the old Inca capital. Lack of oxygen (12,000 ft) slowed me down. Loved the alpaca farm, and special Peruvian dinner at hotel with folk dancers. Breakfast at 3.45am was a shock but good. Bus and train ride to Aguas C. was very beautiful. "Easy" tour of Machu P. nearly killed me - uneven stone steps, no handrails - but that's what ya gotta do!. Long journey back to Cusco. 4am breakfast next day (ugh) to fly to Lima and then 5hr bus ride down Peru's arid coastline to rejoin the ship at Pisco/ S. Martin. Expensive trip but the only way to see this Andean marvel from a cruise ship.

    Johnny was amazing at walking us through the history of Machu pichu and patiently addressing our queries. He has a good sense of humor, takes great photos, and is a whole rounded guide. Strongly recommend him for any tours!

    Incredible once in a lifetime trip to Peru. Despite some travel delays, VIPAC worked with us and was very responsive with every issue. Tour guides were knowledgeable and excellent photographers. Special shout out to Gabriel, our tour guide in Sacred Valley, who was amazing. December is rainy season but we lucked out with fabulous weather. Machu Picchu is a must do on any bucket list.

    We did and saw everything. What made this trip so special was the excellent hotels we stayed in, the way we were taken care of during each step of the process and the superior guides we got. These folks were able to meet us at our level, go far indepth in philosophical, historical and cultural discussions about their country. The pride for the past and hopes for their future was truly inspiring. Based on the tours others have taken, this one was far superior!

    Would recommend Waman adventures! The tour was timely, well organized with everything planned out from the lodging to transport (trains, buses, cars, tickets etc) and the guides and drivers were all friendly and great- really enjoyed our guide Jonathan who was very professional and kind- he really exemplified the spirit of Peru- (thanks Jonathan!) we also had ample free time and flexibility- and got lucky with having a few additional great guests in our group of fours communication was quick and plans were adapted if needed- Peru is a beautiful country and this was memorable and I don’t think we would have had such a positive experience if we had not done this tour! Highly recommend

    Fist off- if you think this trip is a part of a tour group, it is not. If you are not comfortable being on your own most of the time with absolutely no English translators (except on each specific site tour) this is not the trip for you

    2nd- if you are the kind of person that likes to know your schedule of where to go at what time and with tickets in-hand well ahead of time (like at least 24 hours before each day), then this trip is not for you

    3rd - If you like being at the hands of a 3rd party who's sole job is to book your bus/train tickets and various tours for you- then provide the logistics of time/place/tickets just prior to you doing anything for that day. Or if you like working person-to-person with the tour companies to get money back for failed tours or tour guides that leave without you for no reason. Skip this one

    Basically- skip this tour and go to the next one.

    My wife and I travel A LOT. We typically have a busy schedule when we travel (ie lots of tours - at least 1 per day- over various countries). This itinerary is too aggressive. We were at the hands of public transportation the whole time (think Greyhound bus for many of the days). The trip from Lima to Nazca was 9 hours! 9!!! Traffic wll get you, construction will get you- oh, and since we didn't know it was going to be 9 hours, we didn't pack anything more than snacks. We left too early for breakfast (snack 1) and didn't have any time for lunch (snack 2). So basically 5:30 AM - 4:30 PM on route to the bus or on the bus. Not at all fun

    The most frustrating part of the bus\air travel is that most of the time either the person who was supposed to pick us up showed up late with no signs (they just walked around looking for us and asking if I was John) or they simply didn't show up. We walked to our hotels in Nazca and in Aqua Cliente, we almost scheduled alternative transportation on our flight in to Lima (40 min late) and Puno-to-Cusco (40 min late). Pretty frustrating when no one is available to be your translator to find out what is going on.

    I spent about $100 in phone/data plan communicating to this travel company trying to determine what was going on, where people were, refunds on tours that either didn't happen or the tour guide left without us.

    The 3-star hotels are 3-star for Peru, not for US/CA. If you are from US or CA or even EU- drop the star rating by 1 star. The hotels were nice overall, but the noise level in all of them was an issue. The service at the one in Cusco was absolutely horrific (the one in Lima was superb- but the sheets were a bit damp due to very high humidity).

    Basically, the sites were awesome- you should see them. But for THIS tour group there was far too much bad that far outweighed the good. I don't know what trip the other folks who rated this trip were on, but they were NOT on this one if it is above 3 stars. I invite you to look at my other ratings I have done on Trip Advisor. I rarely, if ever, have a long and ranting bad experience. I hope this tells you something about this specific tour- don't do it.

    The one positive thing is that the majority of the time, the tour group would answer your phone or texts. They met with us in Cusco to clear up some confusion (of where there was a ton of it each day).

    It is our first experience with Vipac and we liked everything. Very knowledgable tour guides and drivers. Punctual. Very helpful. Good transport.
    All our questions were answered promptly when they arise. Will use it again if have a chance. One of the best tour company we used.
    Thank you so much for your service, Vipac!
