"We had an amazing experience during our first trip to Peru. I worked with Carlos to plan and coordinate several tours/excursions and they were all excellent and curated to fit what we were looking for. We started with a trip to Machu Picchu, where the tickets, train and bus rides were coordinated and our guide, William was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we left Machu Picchu understanding the history and culture. ​Our next excursion was the Sacred Valley tour where we were picked up by our driver Juan, who was excellent in navigating the rough terrain, and our guide William. During this tour we toured Ollantaytambo ruins, the Salt Mines and Moray. The highlight of the day was visiting Sonia and her family where an absolutely delicious lunch was prepared. This was a truly special part of the whole trip. ​We also did a textile excursion where we visited Andean Colors, a special organization dedicated to helping single mothers who have faced great adversity leverage their textile expertise to support their families. We learned about plants, yarn dyeing, preparing the fiber and much more all set amidst stunning scenery. ​Our last excursion was a hike up Palccoyo "Rainbow" mountain. The easier of the rainbow mountains to hike. The scenery was stunning, there were no crowds and the hike was very achievable. ​I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carlos, William and Juan and the entire Peru Summit team. I was attracted to the organization based on their skills but also their mission of taking care of their people and helping the communities. I saw this in action by engaging with Sonia and Andean Colors but also in smaller ways like buying a special bread before our Palccoyo hike and distributing it amongst community members walking as we drove to our hiking spot. The community members were very appreciative. ​I highly recommend using Peru Summit Adventures for your tours/excursions!"

"We booked a Sacred Valley day trip with Peru Summit Adventures and it was, without a doubt, the highlight of our entire time in Peru. From start to finish, every detail was taken care of and we left with memories we’ll cherish forever. Our tour guide Simon was absolutely world class. His knowledge of the Sacred Valley was impressive and his energy was infectious throughout the day. What truly set him apart was his genuine care for the people he was guiding - he went out of his way to facilitate a very special moment for my fiancé and me, something we will never forget. If you’re lucky enough to have Simon as your guide, you’re in for a treat. Our driver Juan was equally fantastic - professional, reliable, and a pleasure to be around. He made every transfer smooth and comfortable. We came away having learned so much about the history and culture of the Sacred Valley, and we had an absolute blast doing it. If you’re visiting Peru, do yourself a favor and book with Peru Summit Adventures. You won’t regret it!"

"If you are planning to visit Cusco or any of the many amazing attractions in and around Cusco, including everything from Machu Picchu to Rainbow Mountain and beyond, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Peru Summit Adventures! They are incredible! I sent my wish list to Carlos and he turned it into a full detailed itinerary for me that was flawless! Our driver, Percy, picked us up at the airport in Cusco and took us to the hotel when we arrived late in the evening the first night. Then the next morning, Percy and our tour guide Simon picked us up at the hotel to take us to the Sacred Valley and had several amazing stops along the way including the Moray Ruins, Maras Salt Mines, the Ollantaytambo Fortress and more! They dropped us at the hotel in Ollantaytambo at the end of the first day and gave us a great restaurant recommendation for dinner. Day 2 we took the train to Aquas Calientes and then the bus to Machu Picchu where Simon guided us through with an awesome tour of the archeological site. We then tried to take the train back to Ollantaytambo but a cargo train had derailed and the trains were down the rest of the day. But Simon and Carlos helped us find a great hotel for the night there rather than waiting it out with hundreds of people in the train station and they also took care of getting our train tickets changed for the next morning. Day 3 after we took the train back with Simon to Ollantaytambo, Percy was there waiting for us to take us to the Pisaq Archeological Ruins and the town of Pisaq where Simon guided us through the ruins and then down the mountain and into the town before they took us back to our hotel in Cusco for the night. Finally, the next morning, Percy came to take us to the airport for our return flight to Lima. Percy and Simon were awesome!!!! The entire experience was incredible and they took care of EVERYTHING for us each day with the logistics, tickets, transportation, tours, etc. Carlos recommended great hotel options for us as well which was the only thing we had to book ourselves. We opted for a private tour so it was just the two of us with the same driver and tour guide throughout the trip. And everywhere we went, so many people knew our tour guide Simon and stopper to say hello to him and he said hello to many people along the way as well. Worth every penny! Best travel experience with any tour company I’ve ver had and they handled so many details for our three days in the Cusco area! Thank you so much Carlos, Simon, and Percy and the entire Peru Summit Adventures team!"

"My husband and I booked and loved the Lodge to Lodge hike to Macchu Picchu with Juan. We had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Juan was fun, easy to talk to, super knowledgeable about the places and sites we visited. We loved the authentic cultural experiences - especially having lunch at a local family's home. Hotels were amazing, food was amazing, the hikes were gorgeous. Absolutely flawless execution by Carlos and his team. I would highly recommend using Peru Summit and we will be back!"

"We highly recommend using Peru Summit. From the initial online enquiry Carlos the owner was super helpful and responsive with his excellent English and anticipation/appreciation of what our requirements were. We went on the 6 day Sacred Valley Lodge to Lodge trek which was perfect for us. We got to see many amazing Incan sites, at a pace that suited us, and were guided the whole time by Jose. Jose's knowledge of both history and nature, along with his extremely high fluency in English made every walk an absolute pleasure. Coming back each night to comfortable lodges with good food was very much appreciated after walking during the day. Peru Summit also made sure all our lunches were spot on too. Finishing our last trek on the 'short Inca trail' at the Sun Gate was the perfect moment for us. We couldn't ask for more!"

"We had an amazing tour of Machu Picchu with our guide William. He was friendly, approachable, and genuinely enthusiastic. William knew every great photo spot and shared interesting details about the Inca ruins that made the experience even richer. Highly recommend his tour!"

"Tailor-Made Travel, Perfectly Executed! We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Peru Summit Adventures. From the very beginning, Carlos was incredibly attentive and lightning-fast with his email responses. He took the time to really understand what we wanted from our trip and made sure every detail was tailored to us. When we finally arrived in Peru, Carlos even came to meet us in person — and brought along our guide Fisher, who turned out to be the perfect match. Not only did he share our love for photography, but to our delight, he was also a passionate bird guide. His energy, knowledge, and dedication were unlike anything we’ve experienced. He worked tirelessly to make sure we had the best possible encounters, and the entire team showed the same level of commitment (including our driver Elvis)! Over the course of planning, I contacted more than 12 different companies in Peru (we did six separate segments in different regions), and I can honestly say that Peru Summit Adventures stood out above them all — by far. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and personalized service are simply on another level. If you’re considering a trip to Peru and want it to be uniquely your own, don’t hesitate. This company excels at customizing itineraries, communicating clearly, and delivering exactly the kind of trip you’ve been dreaming of. I can’t recommend them highly enough."
