You’re in the best hands with Peru Andes Discovery
My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Peru Andes Discovery and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless, engaging trip to Machu Picchu or other nearby destinations.Peru Andes Discovery was recommended by a friend who also had a wonderful time with this team, so we reached out to them a few months before our travel. We received an immediate response from Alfredo (tour guide) and Arnold (travel designer). They asked questions to understand our trip goals, and we were able to quickly setup a 2-day trip to MP in late November that met our unique travel needs (we were so happy with that experience, we then added on a 1-day trip to Rainbow Mountain too).The team: each person we interacted with was kind, personable, service-oriented and very knowledgeable. Alfredo, our guide to MP, ensured each part of that trip was perfect. Beyond the fact that he had so much interesting information to share about MP and Incan history (in English too, which was VERY appreciated considering our Spanish is minimal at best), he added a short hike in Aguas Calientes with us that was not on our itinerary, recommended great spots to eat, and even took some excellent photos throughout our time at the site (which ended up being the PERFECT weather day, which we’re sure Peru Andes Discovery helped to make happen too). Sandro, our tour driver, was the true star of the trip. Driving in Peru is pure chaos, and he managed it with calm and professionalism. The twists and turns up to Rainbow Mountain are not for the faint of heart, but he handled them like a true driving rockstar. The van was always clean, with water and snacks to keep us confortable too. Sandro also took us on a side trip to a local Alpaca textile maker where we learned how their items were made and had the opportunity to buy legit goods made on site. Arnold, our trip designer was a skilled professional. He was communicative and helpful throughout—and was clearly very good at his job. We so appreciated all of his work behind the scenes to make our time there stress free. Gustavo, our guide to Rainbow Mountain, was also deeply experienced and a joy to interact with as we climbed the very difficult hike up to the top. He offered us tips to make our time in Peru even better, and was always a smiling face even during those steep, oxygen-limited climbs.Why book with Peru Andes Discovery? While their offerings might be slightly pricier than larger tour groups, the one-on-one attention and thoughtful additions to the overall trip were SO worth the extra cost (pickup/drop off at the airport, door-to-door service for all excursions, insights into the best spots for photos, tips to avoid altitude sickness, interesting facts about what we were seeing from a true local’s experience, and constant communication to ensure we were where we needed to be, had the correct tickets and never found ourselves lost/confused throughout what can be a quite complex journey).If you book with this team, you will not regret it!

Alfredo and Samuel were great! Alfredo is kind and accommodating and made us feel welcome. November was a great time to go even though it would rain here and there. We were able to see amazing sights in the sunny weather !!We enjoyed our conversations with him and will book again with him when we come back to Peru! Thank you so much Samuel and Alfredo!!

Must go place. Better arrive before 9 am
Wonderful trip with the best guide Alfredo and driver Jaime. I feel sorry for my horse but it is impossible for me to walk so long. The last 30 minutes walk to the top took me one hour.

Knowledgeable, caring and customer first service
I will highly recommend PAD's service for an unforgettable memory of a lifetime- flexibility to customize trips according to preference i.e. start time, duration and locations- guide knowledgeable and caring. I took my time to experience the Inca sites- The guide showed me the local culture, authentic & native food and local market for shopping.- price was very reasonable for the excellent service PAD offered

100% satisfaction and more
I went All In with Peru Andes Discovery (PAD) on my trip to Cusco/Machu Picchu. PAD set up the perfect itinerary to acclimate to the altitude before I started my Solo 4 day Inka trail. From day one of the planning and throughout my trip, Arnold and his staff were very responsive to my inquiries and comments via WhatsApp. My husband and I enjoyed having Gustavo as our guide around the Cusco sites. His passion for the history, nature, and folklore was fascinating and engaging.The challenge was the 26 mile Inka trail. I was so appreciative to have Alfredo as my guide and Savino, Luis, Wilbur, and Serapio for support. Of course the service and company was top notch. I am 59 years old, 5’3”, 120lb. Thanks to Alfredo’s knowledge of the Inka trail, we explored sites not seen by most. The hike and this trip was truly the experience of a lifetime.My advice to future guests, if you have something in mind on your visit to Peru just ask. PAD has something for everyone.

Flawless service, went above and beyond
Really impressive company. I got to urubamba without a plan and told my hotel receptionist I wanted to do an activity. She gave my number to Alfredo who immediately put a bespoke tour package together for my friends with his amazing guide Gustavo. They both provided a perfect service and maintained contact to support us with other parts of the trip. Best customer service in peru!

Best Experience Ever!!
If I could give them 500 stars out of 5, I would! Alfredo and the entire team are absolutely amazing!! They went above and beyond expectations every step of the way for all our tours. We used Peru Andes Discovery for Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain and also Lake Titicaca. I would highly recommend them above all other companies!! They communicated well, surpassed expectations with all the additional little touches and details that we never expected - worth every penny! We have amazing new friends and memories to last a lifetime - thank you Alfredo, Max, KJ and the rest of the Peru Andes Discovery team!! They are a true gem and will go the extra mile for you! I would without any hesitation recommend them!

A unique experience
We went to visit Rainbow Mountain accompanied by our driver and guide Christian, there are only words of appreciation for the treatment, Service and quality of the visit. He picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel, guided us through the entire itinerary and helped us get through the climb to the top of the mountain. He is a lovely and experienced guide, highly recommended.
