Wonderful

Amazing Peru! We had Ruben as our tour guide and he made the experience for us such a wonderful one! He guided us through Lima, Amazon Jungle, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and also an optional Mara’s and Moray tour. His knowledge of Peruvian history and of the sites he took us to was informative and relevant. His exceptionally caring demeanour towards our group and his great sense of humour and high energy made the 13 days together seeing Peru a pleasure for me. The tour was well organised, transport terrific and Ruben’s problem solving attributes perfect. Thanks so much Ruben, hope we meet again. My first Tripadeal and group tour and would consider again in the future 😊

Excellent Guide Willington Calderon

Willington Calderon was our guide, he picked us up from the Airport on 17th Sept 2026 to the Accommodation. He was our guide for our South America tour 17th Sept to 29th Sept. On 19th flew to Puerto Maldonado, Amazon Jungle, Cusco. All through our Guide WIllington was excellent, explained all details of the places that we visited. He is a learned person, sharing his views and been very friendly all the time. He was very helpful and available every time we needed. He has excellent command over English to explain and answered all our doubts. He was not just a guide to us, but a very good friend now. We missed him upon 12th day as we had to visit other nearby countries. I would highly recommend Willington as a guide to all other tourists in future..

Amazing Experience

Our 12 day adventure in Peru was part of a 31 day Trip A Deal Tour(Ultimate South America Adventure). We were lucky enough to have Ruben as our guide for the whole 12 days. Not only was he super organised and very knowledgeable, but his sense of humour was a good fit for the 19 Aussies and New Zealanders in our tour group, which made everything so much fun. Ruben cared about everyone in the group and went out of his way to help with any issues and problems and he also tried his best to accommodate any suggestions and requests along the way. Ruben's instructions were always clear and for the whole 12 days in Peru I felt completely safe and comfortable about timing and the itinerary. A brilliant experience and loved every minute. Thanks Ruben and Valencia.

Amazing adventure in Peru

We loved every moment of discovering aspects of Peru. We were in Peru for 12 days with our guide Uri. He showed us many different sides from the Amazon to Machu Picchu and Cusco. We loved learning many new things. We would thoroughly recommend a visit of at least 12 days to Peru. We booked through TripADeal.
