Unforgettable

Yolanda was the person in charge of guiding us through the entire tour. The truth is, everything was fantastic; I am at a loss for words. Organization, planning, punctuality, communication; in short, everything was excellent. Congratulations to the entire team, especially to Yolanda, who was the constant contact.

Excellent

I have no words to thank Peru Andean Exploor for all the care, safety and, most importantly, the impeccable organization. Always very attentive, anticipating information, extremely punctual and clear with schedules and guidelines. The hotels chosen and the restaurant bookings were excellent, and I can’t help but mention the guides: everyone who served us was friendly, attentive and made our trip even more special and charming, besides the beauty of the beautiful city of Inka. If I could give you a thousand stars, I would without thinking twice! If you want to know Cusco and live an experience with excellent care, I recommend Peru Andean Exploor!

18 hours well-spent

Exceptionally well-organized. The day before our tour we received an envelope with our entrance passes and train tickets. The company sent a driver to our hotel, the driver escorted us all the way to the train gate, a second guide met us to direct us to our bus, and our third guide met us near the entrance to give us a guided tour. They all communicated their locations via WhatsApp so there was never any confusion. Our guide Javier was very engaging and gave us lots of interesting information about everything we saw, and was happy to take all the photos we wanted. Lunch was also included, which was a fun surprise.

Great company

I was very skeptical when I received the offer because it was 20–30% lower than the competitors, but I found good reviews and decided to go with them. Absolutely everything went perfectly, even better than expected. I led a group of 28 people to Peru, and it was not easy managing such a large group, especially since it was my first time working with this agency. However, I was truly impressed. Two people canceled the trip a month before departure, and the Machu Picchu tickets could not be changed, so we had to buy new ones on the spot. The agency accompanied us from Cusco to Ollantaytambo, and then their staff welcomed us in Aguas Calientes and guided us through the process of buying tickets for the two people who joined later. Incredible service. Very professional and responsible. The guides were good, the buses/vans were good, and the price was very fair. Overall, it was a very positive experience. Highly recommended agency, and I will definitely work with them again for future tours.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Andean Peru Exploor. It was truly a pleasure for us to organize and assist such a large group. We understand the responsibility involved in coordinating 28 people, and we are very happy to know that everything went even better than expected. We sincerely appreciate the trust you placed in us from the very beginning. Our team always works hard to provide a safe, organized, and supportive experience throughout the journey, especially in unexpected situations such as managing the Machu Picchu tickets. Thank you as well for recognizing the work of our staff, guides, and logistics team. Your words motivate us to continue creating unforgettable experiences in Peru. We will be more than happy to work with you again on future tours.

Amazing and safe experience

Indicate ☰% to Andean Explor. Since my arrival in Peru, I was advised by Yolanda (with whom I closed the package). I had all support with transportation to the tours and airports, the tours with admission and food, besides everything with a lot of safety. They took care of all logistics for me and was too worth the experience. The communication is clear and objective, and when some normal travel unexpected occurs, we have direct support with them.
