Real Peru For You

  Good communication, well-organised activities, good prices. Rolf was always available to answer questions.

  Rolf organized several tours for us. He was very thorough re travel logistics and made sure we were everywhere on time and did not have any difficulty transitioning from one... read more activity to the next activity. Whenever we had a question or concern he was readily available to answer them and/or solve the problem in a very timely manner.
His prices were very reasonable.
We especially enjoyed the family stay at Amantani at Lake Titicaca, the Ballestas Islands near Paracas, and the Dune buggy and sand "surfing activity near Huacachina.
The hotels Rolf selected for us were good and were very accomodating.

  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.

  I'm a college professor from the United States. I visited Cusco earlier this week to attend a language school (Mundo Antiguo--also excellent) for my spring break. As part of my... read more brief trip, I visited Machu Picchu. I booked this tour through Rolf.

Rolf lives and works in Cusco. I communicated with Rolf through email and WhatsUp. Rolf was always prompt to return my messages. I was extremely pleased with Rolf's professionalism and personalized customer service skills. Just to give everyone a concrete example--Rolf actually dropped off my tickets and itinerary at the place where I was staying in Cusco. I cannot recommend him more highly.

  I did several trips during the month, and it was so nice to have everything planned out for me. Rolf booked everything including taxis to bring me to the busses.... read more I didn't have to stress about planning any of my tours. I wish I had Rolf to keep planning out my entire life for me

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

  I did tours to the rainbow mountain, laguna humantay, machu picchu and the sacred valley, which were all organized by Rolf. I really liked the tours. Also, I could always... read more make changes in the programs whenever my plans in Cusco changed. On top of this, Rolf really helped me figuring out the best day(s) for each tour due to the rain season. I had a great experience!

  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.

  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!

  Rolf customized my tours in Peru to fit my needs. I did the Rainbow Mtns, hiked the Inka Trail to Machu Pichu, and went to the Amazon jungle. They thought... read more of everything to make my experience worryfree. Rolf really listened to my needs and then recommended the perfect itineraries. He is awesome!
