A great experience!
A group of us from Australia were on a TripADeal tour with various guides. When we arrived in Cusco we met Mariella, who would be with us for about 6 days all up. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better! Such a wonderful and knowledgeable person, who made us all feel like a family 🙂 She went above and beyond what was required, and made sure we had the best time! The private day walks, exploring and tours were great, and it was an outstanding experience to see the country.

Best Guide, Best Trip
Thank you to Guillermo for making our 5 days exploring Cusco and the surrounding areas so special. Machu Picchu was such a spiritual hilight. Ollytaytambo Sun Temple and so so much more. From exploring the ways of the Inca and seeing the pre Inca ways was a treat. To feel the ancient pulse of the land was very special.

Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu & Cusco
Part of a Trip A Deal tour. 1 st day Sacred Valley- solo as rest of group put on later plane from Lima. My Guide was not very interested & had me at my hotel in Urubamba by 1130- no breakfast or lunch. The remaining 3 days with Claudio as our tour guide were extremely good, he is passionate, knowledgeable and very involved about Inca history – we had a great time.

Perfecto tourist guide
Our guide Guillermo was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, patient and very passionate about the historic sites we visited. His professionalism and assistance was beyond our expectations and we would hope that other guides are as informed and caring about their work as he is. He was also very helpful in offering advice with other tours which were not booked with his company. Without doubt, a fantastico guide with perfecto knowledge.

Hiking to Machu Pucchu
Juan Collado was our guide with our hike to Machu Picchu with Valencia travel. He did a great job explaining the trek and kept us well informed of what was ahead of us. He was super knowledgeable of the trail, ruins, plants, animals, etc. He had a great sense of humor and made the hike a lot of fun. The Porters were great and the food was 5 star by our chef

Peru Machu Pichu Cuzco and Lima tour very interesting and fun
The tour was marvellous and to see such ancient sacred sights up close and personal was amazing. Walking the paths of so many previous occupants of the beautiful Andes was a thrill. The tours in their completeness were action packed but worth the effort. Our stops were very informative and our guest speakers spoke amazing English which added to our interests. Our guide Jose was very knowledgeable about the beautifully preserved Inca Sacred valley and Machu Pichu itself. Jose was an extremely polite host and guide, he was very conscious of the varying age gaps of our group and made sure the pace was adjusted to suit all. Thoroughly recommend the package trip adventure and learning awaits you.

Beautiful Peru
We were met at the airport by our guide Luis Verlade and our 13 day adventure began. Luis's passion for Peru and its history was infectious. He worked so hard to make the adventure brilliant for each person on the tour. Peru is beautiful and we were privileged to experience that beauty by the expert leadership of Luis.

Cusco and MachuPicchu
We could not be happier. Guillermo was perfessional, helpful ,kind and knowledgeable. He made sure we understood the history of the places we visited to give us a better understanding. Which was very interesting. He was always on time . He was very kind and helpful to me when we visited MachuPicchu as I had sprained my foot badly a few days before . I thank him for this kindness. He is an excellent tour guide and we hope we will see him again on our travels .

A Peruvian master and the best advertisement for Peru you could get.
Luis was simply outstanding in every way. He listened carefully, understood the balance required when there were differing desires and gave us an excellent education every step of the way. He cared more than any other guide i have experienced and went over and above what was required. He ought to be commended.

We went on a 12 day tour of Peru which was fantastic. Our tour manager Oscar could not be faulted. He was organised, patient, knowledgeable and extremely proud of his country. We visited Lima, the Amazon Jungle. Cusco, Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. The specialised tour guides on various tours we did were exceptional. We would definitely would recommend Valencia Travel to anyone travelling th Peru and hope that you would be lucky enough to get Oscar as your guide

Valencia travel experience
We are coming to the end of a trip booked through Trip a deal in Australia that subcontracted Valencia tours. We had local tour guides in Lima (Erica), Puerto Maldonado (Samuel) Machu Picchu (Cosmo) and Puno (angel). Our driver was Richard. The tour was led by Oscar in Peru for 13 days. I could not fault any of the tour guides. Their knowledge of their local areas was exceptional. They were flexible with our needs and we learnt so much from each tour. Oscar was with us every step of the way, ensuring that the extensive travel plans ran smoothly. Down to boarding passes, transfers, information about the local culture/restaurant recommendations/available bathrooms/how much we should be paying for things. He was thorough with his plans and information and overall added so much value to our experience. The tour leader could make or break a trip like this and he certainly made it easy for us in all aspects. I would highly recommend all of the tour guides and the trip in general.

Amazing trip to Cuzco and MachuPicchu.
Our tour guide Mariela was excellent. She made our trip exceptional. Having had other tour guides from this company and others in Peru Mariela outshines all the other guides. She explained everything in Cuzco, Sacred Vally , Olliamtaytambo, and MachuPicchu so very well. She was thoughtful and very kind. Highly recomend her as a guide in and around Cuzco.

Magical Rainbow mountain tour and hike
We did the Rainbow Mountain tour and hike as an optional extra on our tour. Totally worth it, even with the early departure from Cusco, we found it to be a once in a lifetime magical experience. Mariella our tour guide was so informative, kind and helpful. Our whole tour group just loved her and she treated us like family.

Hard! Amazing!
First, let me just say this is not for the feint-hearted. This is the hardest thing I've ever done, and if you aren't a marathon runner who's spent 4 days in Cusco acclimatising, you will think you are going to die. However, it was amazing! There is so much on the trek that's just as interesting as Machu Picchu (except smaller, but some are huge), then you get Machu Picchu as well. The food (by Wilfredo) was great, the porters were incredible and Juan the guide knew everything about everything we passed, there was not one question he could not answer,

Famtastische privé hike Incatrail naar Machu Picchu
We hebben een geweldige ervaring gehad met gids Henry. Naast alle prachtige details die hij met ons deelde over waar we lans liepen was hij ook een ware motivator tijdens de hike (omhoog was erg pittig!) Tijdens de hike naar Machu Picchu maar ook de dag erna kon hij ons geweldig meenemen in de historie van de Inca's, geen vraag van ons was te veel. Na de hike nam Henry ons mee naar een heerlijk lokaal restaurant, mooi om samen zo de dag af te sluiten. Kortom, een ervaring om niet te vergeten!

Memorable vacation in Sacred Valley
We had a wonderful experience with Valencia Travel Cusco during our vacation in Peru. From the start, they took the time to understand our preferences, ensuring that our itinerary was tailored to our specific interests and timing. Our guide, Jose, who accompanied us throughout the whole week in the Sacred Valley, was exceptional. He provided fascinating insights about the history, culture, and local traditions that added depth to each place we visited. It was like having a personal storyteller, making every moment enriching and engaging. We were also impressed by the level of support provided by Vivian during the preparation phase. She was readily available to address any questions or concerns, and we had quite a few, always responsive and attentive, ensuring we got the desired vacation plan and felt well-cared for. Everything was well organized, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey without any stress. In conclusion, I recommend Valencia Travel Cusco to anyone seeking unforgettable travel experiences and personalized itineraries. Thank you for making our vacation memorable!

Fabulous Macchu Picchu visit
This was a once in a lifetime bucket list opportunity for my partner . The day started with the Observatory Train ride (separate review). On disembarking we were met by Elizabeth from Valencia Tours. We took the classic route 1&2 routes. She was friendly polite and most important of all knowledgable she see multiple methods of getting over the information, but not in a traditional stuffy guide way- she used personal reflection and knowledge to bring Macchu Picchu to life thereby enhancing the visit even further she was happy to take photos to ensure we had the best of memories of our visit. This tour and particularly Elizabeth are highly recommended.

Most excellent with the best guide I’ve ever had.
I signed up with Trip A Deal out of Australia and Valencia Travel handled the Peru part of our trip Ronald Quispe Farfan was our guide. He was outstanding! He was knowledgeable, kind, caring and went over and above to handle all types of people and situations. Best guide I have ever had. Helped me retrieve my prescription glasses went I unknowingly left them on a bus. He called around immediately and arranged for them to be returned the very next day. He offered incredible service and no judgement on any request that was made. He handled a difficult client and made arrangements that worked for everyone. Was very impressed. He never shared personal details of other travelers but kept us informed and up to date on all information that was pertinent for our travel and well being. Will highly recommend Ronald and the company to family and friends.

Beyond Expectations. Challenging at times but so worth it. Spectacular landscape and unique architecture, culture & food
What a stress free and awesome TripaDeal “Ultimate South America tour” it has been. So well run by the supporting Valencia Travel Team. Our tour guide, Claudio Andia made us feel so welcomed , embracing us into his family & Culture. A very knowledgeable and engaging team leader, ensuring individuals within the group were catered for and able to enjoy the experiences provided, although challenging at times he was so reassuring, calm and always there to lend a hand be it to: climb the stairs, take a photo, get some cash or medical supplies, provide dining options to experience local foods. A big ✅ from me.😎

An unforgettable day with our exceptional guide Elizabeth
Our visit to Machu Picchu was truly one of the most extraordinary days of our lives and that was largely thanks to our wonderful guide, Elizabeth. From the moment we met her, she brought warmth, knowledge and genuine passion to every part of the experience. Her storytelling made the history of the Incas come alive in a way that felt deeply personal and meaningful. Learning about the Inca messenger runners carrying knotted rope messages across the Andes, the spiritual beliefs represented by the condor, puma and snake, and the traditions honouring Pachamama (Mother Earth) added such depth to the visit. Elizabeth shared history with such clarity and enthusiasm, but she also had a beautiful way of weaving in personal stories about her mother and grandmother, helping us understand the cultural traditions that still exist in Peru today. It made the entire experience feel authentic and deeply connected to the land we were standing on. When we reached our first breathtaking view of Machu Picchu, Elizabeth allowed us time to pause and absorb the moment before guiding us through the site with fascinating insights about its construction, history and rediscovery. Her knowledge was exceptional, yet she shared it in such a natural and engaging way that it never felt like a lecture, more like walking through history with a friend who truly loves what she does. She also made sure we noticed the small details we might otherwise have missed, from the water mirrors in the House of the Chosen Women to the incredible engineering used by the Incas to shape the stones and build the city. By the end of the day we felt not only that we had seen Machu Picchu, but that we had truly understood its story. Elizabeth is an extraordinary guide, knowledgeable, thoughtful, passionate and kind. She transformed what could have been simply a sightseeing trip into a deeply memorable and emotional experience. Tupananchiskama – until we meet again. We could not recommend Elizabeth more highly.

Great holiday with great people
We have been fortunate to have been cared for by such professional, considerate and “tolerant” guides and other Tripadeal team members in general. We have just completed a lengthy period with Claudio Andia who epitomised the above. No question, no matter how “ridiculous”, was treated with respect and understanding, understanding that a group of older people can be easily confused and lack an understanding of the cultural and other values of a foreign country. The guides’ local knowledge in particular and their general understanding of the culture and customs of each specific region, was conveyed in an appropriate and sensitive manner. Claudio in particular demonstrated all the positive attributes that makes a long tour so enjoyable and interesting.

South America trip
We had an amazing 12-day trip with Valencia Travel Cusco in the Andes of Peru, and our tour guide, Claudio Andia, made the entire experience truly unforgettable. Claudio was incredibly passionate about his country and extremely knowledgeable about the history, traditions, and culture of Peru. Throughout the trip, he was always checking on us to make sure everyone was feeling well and enjoying the experience. His pride in his culture and his genuine desire to share it with us made every day special. We learned so much and felt warmly welcomed everywhere we went. Some of the highlights of our journey included visiting Rainbow Mountain, Lake Titicaca, and Machu Picchu. These experiences were absolutely breathtaking and became some of our best memories of Peru, made even more meaningful by Claudio’s insights and storytelling. Thank you, Claudio, for your expertise, kindness, and enthusiasm. We are so grateful to have had you as our guide—you are truly the best tour guide!

The wonders of Peru from the mountains to the jungle!
We had a fantastic time in Peru. The trip was made all the better by our tour guide Rolly. His and his colleagues extensive knowledge of the country and there dedication to helping the tour group allowed us to get the most out of a busy schedule. The tours obviously highlights of Machu Picchu, Titicaca and Colca canyon where superb and where managed very well. A personal favourite for us was the La Raya pass train ride from Cusco To Puno which was an amazing day. Our tour finished with 4 days in the InkaTerra jungle lodge and that Amazon adventure will be hard to top. The hotel lived up to its 5 star rating and the jungle flora and fauna was on full display. A fantastic way to end a great holiday. Would recommend this trip to others and would highly recommend Rolly as a top guide and a really nice guy.

It was a memorable trip
We are extremely happy with our guide, Henry. Knowledgeable, engaging, and motivating. He took everyone in the group into consideration. The cook, Felix, was very skilled. Lots of good and nutritious food. The porters were excellent and very service-minded. We are very satisfied. The only downside was the poor toilets along the entire route.

A wonderful tour made better by an excellent tour guide.
We went on a South America tour through Newmarket Holidays which was amazing. For the Peru section, they used a guide from this company called Luis Velarde. The information he provided, his hard work behind the scenes in organising the tour and his good humoured delivery at all hours and stages of the trip by him was a significant reason why this tour was such a highlight of the whole trip. Many thanks.

Carlos knows his stuff.
We were incredibly lucky to have Carlos as our guide for three days during our time in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better. From the very first pickup, Carlos was warm, professional and completely organised. He has a deep knowledge of Inca and pre-Inca history, and he explains it in a way that makes everything come alive — not just dates and stones, but real stories about the people, the culture and how it all connects to modern Peru. Over the three days he guided us through places like Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, the Cathedral in Cusco, Pisaq and Ollantaytambo, and every site felt richer because of his insights. He paced everything perfectly for us (we’re in our 60s and appreciated that!), gave us time to explore, and somehow always positioned us in the right place at the right time. Carlos was patient with our many questions, had a great sense of humour, and made us feel completely comfortable the whole time. Nothing was too much trouble. If you’re visiting Cusco and the Sacred Valley, do yourself a favour and request Carlos. A truly five-star experience.

Rolly was a fantastic tour manager
We went on a tour with Newmarket for a three week holiday in South America. We spent one week in Peru under the supervision of Rolly. He was very knowledgable and was very well organised taking care of everything and giving us handouts. Beware of the high altitude in Cusco unfortunately it made my partner ill and made the decision to return to Lima. Rolly was giving great advice days before what you can do to avoid altitude sickness but we decided not to continue as we would be going higher. Rolly was in daily contact with us making sure we were ok and we met up again when the group returned to Lima. The only thing was some of the itinerary could have been tweaked as sometimes it is full on. We had a 4am start to go to Machu Pichu which was great as we missed the crowds and was an amazing experience. The day before could have been more relaxing as we spent four hours travelling there and back to a remote village to learn about the different variety of potatoes. We were late getting to Ollantaytambo and did not have time to look around and looked an interesting place. We could have spent more time there as it was far from our hotel.

Gorgeous Cusco Delights
We enjoyed the “sexy woman” ruins and view of Cusco below. Edward gave us a comprehensive understanding of the skills and culture of the Inca people . The city tour ensuing was insightful especially the Cathedral. Again Edward has great knowledge of the art work inside and the Inca influence still operating at the time of the Spanish Invasion. There was also an incident where he calmly retraced a phone for a traveller who had inadvertently left it at the Lama farm (previous stop) and organised its return to the ever grateful recipient. He also recommended restaurants and cafes for dinner.

This was an amazing trip organised and taken by Valencia travel as part of a Tripadeal. Our guide Eduardo was exceptional. His knowledge, efficiency and organisational skills were top class. It was actually a 10 day group trip. We also had Carlos as a joint leader in some places. Peru is incredible and the sights, history and culture exceeded expectations.

Great Guided Tour of Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu
Had a very enjoyable, entertaining and informative tour of the Sacred Valley one day and Machu Picchu the next day. We had seven folks in our party. Rolly Carrasco was our fantastic tour guide! Rolly was very engaging, enthusiastic and knowledgeable as he told us all of Peru's Incan ancestors and all of their incredible history. I have been on many tours through the years but have never had a guide as awesome as Rolly! Highly recommend. Ask for him by name!!

Our fantastic customised 2-day Mystical Journey Tour to Machu Picchu ticket off a lifelong bucket list item
Valencia Travels was recommended to us by friends so we enquired and chose them. Both them and our guide Guido were fantastic! We did the Mystic Journey – 2 day tour to Machu Picchu however needed it customised due to my older mother and her current mobility issues. We also wanted a couple of things added on like a visit to the Ollantaytambo Archeological Site, the fancier train on the way back and for myself to do the Classic 2B circuit with my mum and the Huayna Picchu 3B circuit. Guido was very patient and considerate with my mum always there to offer a helping hand. His knowledge of all the activities we did and sites we saw was thorough and told with a sense of respect and pride for his culture. Guido’s small gestures also didn’t go unnoticed like lending his guide book for my mum to read and his binoculars when she needed to rest while I went on site walks. He also made sure my mum made it to the exit of Machu Picchu safe while I went to start Huayna Picchu and came back and caught up with me to ensure I completed it safely and also received the final guided part of the lower section to the exit. Guido’s restaurant recommendations in Aguas Calientes were also good with our favourite being Full House, just down from our 4-star hotel, Hatun Inti Boutique. The only things I would note that were probably out of Valencia travel’s control was that 1) our room at this hotel and the facilities and staff were great but our balcony overlooked a large amount of heaped rubbish apparently from the construction of a government medical facility, if we had the option to select we would have preferred a river facing room or one that wasn’t directly in front of the rubbish, and lastly, the train that we paid extra for on the way back had it’s route to Poroy cut short and we had to take a bus back from Pachar to Cusco which wasn’t ideal and I assume not equal to the price we paid. Aside from those things we highly recommend Valencia Travel, and our guide Quido, and the both we give a big thank you for helping us tick Machu Picchu of our bucket lists!

Valencia Travel was Excellente
We had a wonderful experience, and our main guide, Edwardo, along with the other guides were exceptionally professional and caring. Despite lost baggage, flight changes and even hospital visits, everything was handled smoothly and at any hour of the day. Edwardo’s calm support and organisation turned what could have been very stressful moments into something easy and reassuring. We would 100% recommend this company.

Walking with a historian…
Mijail was simply outstanding. You are not walking with a guide. You are walking with a living embodiment of his people, his culture, and his history. Patient, deeply attentive, and meticulous at every step, it felt less like a tour and more like having a personal concierge, expert guide, and passionate historian all in one. The entire crew was exceptional, and the equipment was truly best in class.

This was the final tour in a wonderful 11 days spent in the care of Edward and others from Valencia Travel. As always this tour gave me a good sense of the lives of the people in the areas we visited. Seeing Edward mentoring less experienced guides to give us an authentic, safe, fun and educational experience was one of the highlights of my time in Peru. Thanks for everything.

Fabulous Amazing Incredible Passionate
Edward Farfan was our guide for the Peru experience portion of our Trip a deal tour of the Incredible Andes & Antartica. Edward was at Lima airport to greet us and we found him to be calm, professional and polite. He gave us handy information about Peru and ensured we understood and were happy. We had 2 nights in Lima and had a walking tour of the city. We then flew to Puerto Maldonado to the Amazon for 2 nights. A few tours were planned and we were guided by Tuto & Yuri. They were fantastic and knowledgeable and spotted animals that we just walked past unaware that they were there. Then we flew to Cusco and had 5 nights in Cusco and 1 night at Machu Picchu Our minibus driver was Richy who was a very safe driver and we felt very comfortable with him especially when the roads are mountainous. We experienced Machu Picchu and it was fabulous even though it was wet. Edward has so much knowledge of Peru and the Inca people. Overall our experience on this trip was five star and Edward was the best guide we could have showing us his country, keeping us safe and sharing his knowledge. Sadly we have had to say goodbye to him as we fly to Argentina for the next leg of our tour. Susan W

Perfect Peru experience
We were on a 11 day Trip Advisor journey that utilized Valencia Travel for its Peru portion. The Journey started in Lima followed by a 2 night trip to the Peruvian Amazon saying at a lodge and then onto Cusco with trips to the Sacred Valley and an overnight trip to Machu Picchu. The tour leader was Edward Farfan who far exceeded our expectations. He went far above what we expected to ensure the group of 25 guests enjoyed every aspect of this trip whilst ensuring that we kept to our schedules and remained safe. He even found lost phones for guests and battled the airline to ensure that 5 guests were not bumped from a flight. The other staff engaged by Valencia travel were all courteous and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending Valencia Travel to anyone considering travel to Peru.

Frecuently Asked Questions
Have questions about your tour? You’re not alone. Here we cover the most common topics — from packing tips and safety to transportation and accommodations. Whether you’re heading to Machu Picchu, the Amazon, or beyond, this section will help you feel prepared and confident.
The 7-day Lares Trek and Machu Picchu tour is a cultural and scenic Andean adventure that combines time in Cusco and the Sacred Valley with a community-focused trek through the Lares Valley. It includes 2 acclimatization nights in Cusco, 3 days of trekking, a scenic train ride to Aguas Calientes, and a full guided exploration of Machu Picchu.
The 7-day Lares trek itinerary Peru adds important acclimatization time in Cusco, provides a gentler pace, and includes more cultural experiences and Sacred Valley immersion. The 4-day version is more compressed, while the 7-day tour is ideal for travelers seeking depth, comfort, and a slower, more authentic adventure.
Yes — the family-friendly Lares trek to Machu Picchu is perfect for beginners, children, and anyone who enjoys hiking but doesn’t want a really difficult trekking route. It’s moderate, flexible, and culturally enriching. It is, however, a trek at altitude and acclimatization in Cusco is necessary for at least 3 days. See more altitude tips Lares trek to Machu Picchu on our website.
The Lares Trek is rated moderate. While one high pass reaches around 4,450 m, the ascent is gradual, and there is plenty of time to acclimatize. Compared to Salkantay or the Classic Inca Trail, the difficulty of the Lares Trek is lower, making it suitable for beginners and first-time trekkers.
Trekkers typically walk 4–8 hours per day, depending on the day’s terrain and elevation gain. The longest day is the ascent to the Ipsaycocha Pass, while the final day into the Patacancha Valley is shorter and more relaxed.
The 7-day Lares Trek with hotels and camping includes comfortable hotel nights in Cusco and Aguas Calientes, and high-quality camping during the trekking portion. Some itineraries may also include a Lares trek local homestay experience depending on the community and route chosen.
Most definitely! This is one of the major reasons travelers choose the Lares route. The Lares cultural trek with Sacred Valley includes meeting traditional weaving communities, visiting llama-herding villages, and learning about Andean farming practices. Some tours offer optional homestays for deeper cultural immersion.
A standard Lares trek and Machu Picchu combo package includes:
- Hotels in Cusco & Aguas Calientes
- Guided Lares trekking experience
- All meals on the trek
- Camping equipment
- Entrance to Machu Picchu
- Train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes
- Cultural visits and community interaction
- Transfers, porters, and emergency support
Yes. The Lares trek itinerary with Cusco and Sacred Valley includes two nights in Cusco, time to explore, and a scenic drive through the Sacred Valley before the trek begins.
The best months are May to October, the dry season in the Andes. However, because this route is less exposed than Salkantay, many travelers opt for an off-season Lares trek Peru between November and March, when the valley is green and cultural experiences are even richer.
Yes. The eco-friendly Lares trek Peru supports small Andean communities, employs local muleteers and llama herders, and minimizes environmental impact by using established trails and sustainable campsite practices.
You can book the Lares and Machu Picchu adventure tour directly through our reservations team. Availability depends on hotel space and Machu Picchu entry slots, it’s recommended to reserve your Lares Valley trek and Machu Picchu combo package at least 3–6 months in advance.
