The people who work at Kantu Peru Tours are all professionals, I reached out to them bia social media and had an answer very soon and they customized the tour to our needs and offered a private tour that we all liked.
Thank you so much for your kind review!. We’re very happy to hear you appreciated our service and enjoyed your customized private tour. It was a pleasure organizing everything for you.
My tour guide was called Rafael and he was the most lovely guide that I ever had. Since the start he was attentive, explaining all the details and even sending messages to inform me that he was arriving at my hotel. He was very knowledgeable, answering all the doubts that I had in Spanish and English. Jaime was the driver and he was very efficient and drove us safely to every place that we went.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re happy to hear that Rafael took great care of you and provided clear explanations. We’re also glad Jaime ensured a safe and comfortable journey. We hope to see you again in Peru!
Kantu tours had some logistical issues and details were not great, but our guide Christian was absolutely amazing and made up for where the company lacked. If you can get Christian you will be pleased!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that some logistical details did not meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can continue improving. We are very glad to know that Christian made your experience memorable, he is indeed an exceptional guide, and we’re proud to have him on our team. Thank you again for your honest review.

After doing some research, we went with Kantu Peru Tours, and we’re not disappointed. They took care of all the details, from getting our tickets to telling us where we had to be and when we had to be there. Overall we’re very pleased with our choice and would highly recommend them. Special thanks to Heidi and Franklin for their responsiveness and helpfulness.
Wonderful coordinated experience with a professional, warm, punctual and very reliable team. All Kantu related team has the experience to make these tours an unforgettable adventure
We contacted the company because they had good references and really met all expectations, we toured with them to humantay lagoon, machu pichu and mountain 7 colors and in all provided excellent attention, punctual, super comfortable transportation and very friendly guides at all times. Greetings and thanks to Franklin for all the explanation and tips for Machu Pichu, guides Cristian, Rafa and Edilberto for their kindness and warmth.
I totally recommend circuit 1 with mountain route machu picchu (for adventurers who like hiking) because you climb the mountain and reaching the top was a unique experience. Our Harold Guide the best!! Excellent layout and attention with us all the time!!!
