Be ready for a whirlwind adventure where you will see a lot, learn a lot, experience a ton and sleep not much (a lot of early morning starts). Our guide Wilberth in Cusco ++ was great; patient, knowledgeable, and personable. And Luz who handled all the administrative stuff in the backend was very responsive and efficient. All in all a great tour!

We’ll be sure to share your lovely comments with him. We also truly appreciate you mentioning Luz and the administrative support behind the scenes.

I was very pleased to work with Waman Tours. They were entirely professional and responsive. Their information spent via WhatsApp was clear, concise and on the mark for what would happen each day. Our agent that we worked with was Luz. A special mention to him for this kindness, patience and great instructions. The reviews on the web for Waman DID turn out to be true. That is one of the main reasons I chose them. Always great when it works out like it should.

Operator's comment: Dear Patricia Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing Waman Adventures! We’re very happy to know that you found our communication clear, timely, and helpful throughout your trip. We truly appreciate your special mention of Luz and will make sure to share your kind words. It’s also wonderful to hear that your experience matched the positive reviews you found online. Thank you again for trusting us with your journey!

This was overall a good tour, but I do have a couple of things to list that weren't so great: 1) The 19 hour day. Our group was talking amongst ourselves and we generally agreed that we could have done without the stop at the pisco and lunch place. We would have preferred to have free time in one of the towns to eat lunch and gotten back to the hotel at a more reasonable hour. Also, there was zero time built in to have dinner that day. We stopped at a gas station at around 9 or 9:30 and had to make do with food from there. 2) The day we traveled to Cusco was a wasted day as we waited around to go to the airport and then didn't get to Cusco until after dark. We didn't get the promised time to rest at the hotel to acclimate to the elevation. We also couldn't get dinner anywhere but the hotel because we had to be at a 7:30 meeting with the tour guide, and we didn't get to the hotel until around 7. An earlier flight to Cusco would have been preferred. 3) The night before Rainbow Mountain we did not get back to the hotel until around 8:30 or 9:00 and still had to eat before having to be in the lobby at 4 am the next morning. It just seemed like a couple times on the tour they forgot to allow adequate time for sleep and food, two pretty basic human needs. That being said, our tour guide once we got to Cusco, Wilbur, was PHENOMENAL. I do a lot of traveling and he was one of the best if not the best tour guides I've ever had. Knowledgeable, compassionate, warm, and friendly. He was very helpful when I was nervous in Machu Picchu and even carried my jacket and my drink for me! Loved him.

Operator's comment: Dear Robin Thank you very much for taking the time to share such detailed and honest feedback about your experience. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the long travel days, meal times, rest periods, and the flight schedule to Cusco. Your feedback is very valuable to us, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve the organization and pacing of the itinerary to provide a more comfortable experience for our travelers. We are especially happy to hear your wonderful comments about Wilberth. It means a lot to us to know that his knowledge, compassion, warmth, and support made such a positive difference during your time in Cusco and Machu Picchu. We will be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you again for choosing Waman Adventures and for helping us improve through your feedback. We are very glad that, despite the challenging moments, Wilbur made your experience more special. Warm regards, Martita Customer Service Waman Adventures Team

Everything was perfect from start to finish. We saw everything we wanted to in Peru. The tour operator kept us informed daily via WhatsApp of what was happening for the next day. The only thing I would change is to spread the tour out a bit more. Making it a 9 day tour instead of 7 as there was not much down time. We would of loved a day to explore cusco ourselves after coming back from machu pichu late, getting up super early for rainbow mtn was a lot.However Peru was amazing and so we're all the guides.

Operator's comment: Dear Cathie Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that everything was perfect from start to finish and that you were able to see everything you wanted to experience in Peru. We truly appreciate your feedback about the pace of the tour.

Your suggestion is very valuable to us, and we will take it into consideration for future itineraries. We’re also very happy to know that you enjoyed Peru and had a great experience with all of our guides.

Wilberth was a fantastic guide! He took good care of us and we learned a lot. The schedule is jam packed - there wasn't any free time - which I would have appreciated. It's a lot of planes, trains, and automobiles to get to the Inca sites so my motion sickness was triggered. The altitude sickness is real and myself and others experienced it even when taking the recommended prescription. I only share this so people are prepared. It's not a light, restful, sort of tour. It's an excursion and very well worth it! For a girl from New England, this was the experience of a lifetime for me! It was spiritually and emotionally moving as well.

This tour was very busy no downtime, long days early morning. I would not recamend Cusco hotel absolutely freezing throughout hotel the heat doesn’t barely even warm the room could never get warm. Doing a Machu Pichu hike getting back late to get up super early for rainbow mtn back to back is not a great plan.

Operator's comment: Dear Theresa Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us identify areas where we can improve our services. We are sorry to hear that the pace of the tour felt too demanding and that the schedule between the Machu Picchu hike and Rainbow Mountain did not allow you enough time to rest. We understand that these are long and active days, and we will take your feedback into consideration when reviewing the itinerary and scheduling. We are also very sorry to hear about your experience with the heating at your hotel in Cusco. We understand how uncomfortable it must have been to return after a long day of activities and not be able to get warm. We will share your comments with the hotel team for their review. Despite these difficulties, we hope you were able to enjoy the incredible places you visited in Peru and take home some wonderful memories from your trip. Thank you again for your honest feedback and for traveling with Waman Adventures. Warm regards, Martita Waman Adventures

Good value for the money! Yeny was amazing! The days are long but the pre tour docs made this apparent. There is no set group or guide that you travel with, so sometimes we did get conflicting guidance on tour logistics. Overall a great experience!

Our trip to Peru was full and fun packed. Matchu Pitchu was of course the main attraction and did not disappoint. The dune buggy and sand surfing was thrilling and each meal was amazing. Learning how they make textiles was cool and the dye process was unbelievable. Go see for yourself. Excellent trip

The tour was well planned, covered a lot of ground, and was overall great value for money. Luz was super helpful from the moment we signed up, assisting us with organising pre-tour accommodation, transfers, and more. Our tour guide and driver in Cusco, Julio and Señor Beltran, were both amazing. They were punctual, attentive, and caring. Julio was also very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts and stories about the sites we visited. Our guide in Machu Picchu, Edgar, was wonderful as well. We had an amazing time in Peru and would recommend this tour!
