What people love about touring Peru solo
- Inca Treasures - 6 Days
Before making my reservation, my husband and I did a lot of research on the different operators and I am so glad we did the Inca treasures with Waman Adventures. Our guide was wonderful and took very good care of us, the hotels were nice and clean, the food was also delicious. I definitely recommend it.
- Inca Adventures – 7 Days (Lima, Paracas, Ica, Cusco, Machu Picchu & Rainbow Mountain) – With Domestic Flights
We had an incredible journey in Peru and absolutely loved every moment of it! Visiting Machu Picchu was a dream come true, and our tour guide Yeny made the experience even more special. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history and culture. She explained everything in such an interesting way and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience the whole time. We truly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Peru. The organization was great, the places were breathtaking, and having a guide like Yeny made all the difference. Thank you for helping us create such amazing memories — we will never forget this trip!
- Peru Express - 10 Days (Lima - Cusco - Machu Picchu & Puno) With Domestic Flights
Our trip was amazing and TourRadar was very accommodating!! My friend wasn't doing very well with the altitude(she just couldnt adjust) so we had to pivot a bit and Tourradar helped us with all the details including our room back in Lima, transfers and a few tours to spend our extra couple days.. We were very impressed with all the help they offered.. I highly recommend this company!!!
