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.

Rolf lives and works in Cusco. I communicated with Rolf through email and WhatsUp. Rolf was always prompt to return my messages.

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.
