Real Peru For You

  Real Peru was wonderful to work with. Organized with my Spanish school, Mundo Antiguo-- I went on 4 amazing tours with this agency.

-Sacred Valley
-Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca... read more + Valle de Rojo)
-Salkantay 5 day trek
-Puno 2 day tour

I appreciated how attentive and personalized Rolf (one of the owners) was. He was always available through Whatsapp and came to my school to discuss my tour options on multiple occasions. He was able to help me when my whimsical travel itinerary changed and made my dreams come true through the Salkantay / Machu picchu trek. Puno / Islas de Uros were also beautiful.

The full day Sacred Valley tour was good, however, it was a little rushed and I went back to the Valley to explore Pisac and Ollantottambo on my own. Don't be surprised if you feel like your bus is being shuttled from tourist shop to tourist shop on this tour!

Peru is an incredible country and Real Peru For You with Rolf was a pleasure to work with. Plus, Rolf has an adorable baby and is always happy to share pictures of her 😉

  Very positive contact - Very good service and easy to contact. Short response time. Very helpful in case of problems. Rebooked our salkantay in a few minutes to other tour with no extra costs.... read more For us it was also nice to be able to communicate in Dutch! We booked several tours with Rolf, his prices are also competitive!

  We had four tours over three weekends which were all great. First to the Sacred Valley, then an Incan Rope Bridge and Cusco City Tour and finally Machu Picchu. Rolf... read more is very friendly and organised everything for us. His communication is great and did everything to help us when we needed. Machu Picchu Pueblo was inaccessible on the weekend we initially planned to visit, Rolf kept use well informed and changed our tickets to the following weekend with no fuss or issues.

Thanks for the great experiences.

  Rolf arranged a lot of tours for us (Paracas, Huacachina, Colca Canyon, Salkantay, Rainbow mountain and Manu Resverva) and everything went perfect. He is very helpful and has good competitive... read more prices

  We booked two tours with Rolf and it was absolutely perfect. The 4-days Salkantay Trek with Machu Picchu was a great experience and well organized. Also the one day trip... read more with friends to Rainbow Mountain including Red Valley was great. We totally can recommend Rolf and Real Peru for you.

  I’ve booked three tours through Real Peru For You and the experience was exceptional.

My first trip was a day tour to the Sacred Valley with pickup, which went... read more flawlessly. The tour itself was really cool and the food for lunch was very tasty.

My second trip was to the south of the Sacred Valley which I liked more, because it was less touristy and less rushed. It also included pickup and guide etc. at a very fair price. I really recommend this tour, I would definitely do it again if I return.

My third trip was the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu. It was really easy to set everything up with the agency and the owner was really helpful in every part of the process. The price was really good and the trip itself an amazing experience. After my first two trips to archeological sites I thought I had seen it all but boy was I wrong. I have traveled quite a bit and Machu Picchu was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. It is really hard to put in words what a magical place it really is. Definitely recommend booking the Salkantay trek.

I have a bit of criticism for the partner company Macchu Picchu Reservations on the Salkantay trek, which does not influence this review of Real Peru For You. However I think this agency has more power to change things than me by my review on their page.

Unfortunately the Salkantay trek did not include drinking water. They said “you can buy it along the way and support the local people”. This obviously leads to a massive amount of plastic trash along the trek which we picked up while walking, bringing back kilos of plastic bottles every day. These are just the plastic bottles that are alongside the walkway, there must be so many more in the brush or off the cliffs that we couldn’t get to. I would be willing to pay the money I paid for bottled water to the agency instead and let them boil water off everyday.

Generally, the guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. However, once we got to Machu Picchu it seemed like they didn’t really know how things worked, placing us in the wrong queue at first (there are different queues for different tickets). They more than made up for it by bringing us to the best viewing point. I would recommend to make sure you have Route 1 when booking the tickets though, because what they did might not always work and Route 3 (Machu Picchu + Mountain) only includes a lower part of Machu Picchu and not the famous viewpoint of the entire site.

If they address these two problems, it makes a perfect trip.

  We booked the rafting trip and the jungle tour. Rolf helped us with both trips very good and replied very fast on our questions. The tours were great and it... read more was clear that Rolf knows exactly with which companies he is working because everything was arranged perfect. I would 100% recommend booking tours with Real Peru for U!!

  Participated in two organized tours, both were good, with competitive price. Got personal dedication and clear program. Recommended.

  My friend and I visited Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, and Lake Titicaca--which were all amazing!--without any stress along the way. Rolf was great with organizing and communicating all the details,... read more and when we needed to change plans on short notice he gave us options and made sure everything worked out. If I return to Peru I will 100% use this company again.

  We went on 3 trips that Rolf organized for us during our time in Cusco - Sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca and Machu Picchu. Rolf met with us to discuss... read more the trips and helped us to determine the best timing for each. For 2 of the 3 trips, he picked us up in a taxi and made sure that everything was set and we got onto our busses. For the 3rd trip when he was meeting another group, he sent his driver. Anytime I had a question, either before or during a trip, Rolf answered very quickly - and some of those questions were very early or late! No real problems arose, but if they had, I feel confident Rolf would have addressed them as quickly as he took care of my questions. I highly recommend working with Rolf - if we are able to get back to Cusco again someday, we have a few more places we would like to see and will definitely look to Rolf to help us make that happen!
