Five of my girlfriends and I booked our trip to Peru through Explorandes and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend the company. Talia our agent from Explorandes was phenomenal. She was patient with us as we had a lot of changes throughout the process. We started planning the trip about 9 months in advance. The final itinerary was great. The service from Explorandes from the time they picked us up at the airport was great. The tour guides were knowledgeable, spoke English, friendly and patient; we had fun. The drivers, were excellent and skilled.\r\nFive of my girlfriends and I booked our trip to Peru through Explorandes and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend the company.

All the hotels were clean and in the middle of the action, within walking distance to everything. Safe locations. Only one hotel had elevators, otherwise, stairs! Most of the hotels were great; 3 stars. Only one hotel was so, so, but it was clean and the people were friendly, so we didn’t mind and it was centrally located. FOOD is great in Peru. Bottled water everywhere so that was good cause YOU will need it. Elevation was tough in Cuzco and Lake Titicaca. After two days, I got used to it. By the time we did Machu Picchu, we had acclimated; though the Inka Trail was tough. The breathing gets to you fast as it is a steep climb. WE ALL LOVED OUR TRIP. AWESOME.\r\n
