15 day Peru Tour
Our tour in Peru with Ricardo and Illa Kuntur was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. It was absolutely worth the price, and honestly the first time we experienced such hospitality, care, and attention from a travel agency.
The entire 15 day trip of South Peru was unbelievable. We enjoyed an exciting buggy ride and sandboarding adventure, flew over the breathtaking Nazca Lines, visited beautiful cities, and explored incredible historical sites — not just Machu Picchu. Every part of the journey was well organized and full of amazing experiences.
Ricardo and the Illa Kuntur team made sure everything was perfect and always made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Peru. It was an experience we will never forget!

Once in a lifetime experience!
Visiting the Machu Pichu has been on my bucket list for almost a decade and it finally happened! It was a surreal experience looking at the ruins on top of the mountain at almost 8000 ft altitude was nothing short of unbelievable! I had sat and stared at the view for over an hour and when Sam, my tour guide said it was time to go, it felt like only a few mins has passed.
And speaking of which, Sam was a walking encyclopedia of Machu Pichu and the entire Inca and Peruvian history. He came prepared with a booklet to explain the key places and events that led to how and why Machu Pichu stood on top of those mountains.
Only drawback was I booked late and only experienced the vantage point and didn't get the chance to walk inside the city. But well that's a great reason to come back!

Peru... magical, spiritual country.
I had the pleasure of relying on this tour operator for the organization of my trip, and I can only express my full satisfaction. From the very first contact, the team proved to be extremely professional, helpful and attentive to every detail.
The proposed itinerary has been perfectly calibrated to my needs, with an ideal balance between excursions, moments of relaxation and authentic discoveries of the territory. All services, from transfers to accommodations, from local guides to activities — proved to be of a high standard.
What I appreciated most was the care in the assistance throughout the trip: always present, always ready to respond with courtesy and efficiency to any request or doubt and at any time.
A stress-free experience, full of emotions and well beyond expectations and specific... WELL BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS. Peru wonderful country with wonderful people. I highly recommend this tour operator to anyone who wants to experience a really well-organized trip, with the certainty of being in great hands.
