Peru · LUNCH EXPERIENCES
Good 15 days out with lunch: what each costs, how long it runs and who it suits. The differences matter more here than the order, so read the prices before the rankings.

Review of the $84 Sacred Valley tour from Cusco, with Pisac Market, Ollantaytambo Fortress, buffet lunch, guides, transport, and practical tips.
“Luis was a fantastic tour guide and he had a great driver. I was the only English speaking participant but Luis gave me just as much attention as he did to his Spanish speaking tourists. We were given plenty of exploration time at each stop. And Luis provided in depth explanation of history. Felt I really learned a lot from him. Lunch was a buffet that had a great selection. The pork belly was very good. Didn’t care for the stop at the alpaca site. It was a little touristy and it was an attempt to get us to buy stuff. When in Pisaq, I didn’t care for the jewelry…”

“The sacred valley tour was awesome! Our guide Clara was knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She was truly excited to share information with us and took the time we needed to hike (lots of stairs, some people struggled) to the viewpoints- I wish we had more time to make it all the way up. My guide for the Machu Picchu part of the tour Julio was great too and he takes AMAZING pictures! What I was disappointed in had more to do with logistics than the tour itself. On the first day the tour ended around 2:30PM and we were quickly dumped off at the train station bc 3 people had…”
Review of a private Lima to Paracas, Ica and Huacachina day tour with Ballestas Islands, Pisco tasting, lunch, dune buggies and sandboarding.
“This trip was worth it! The longest part of the trip is the transit. Our driver picked us up and gave us a breakfast bag once we got in the car and it took us 3 hours to get to Paracas. Once we arrived to Paracas we met our amazing tour guide Luis. He welcomed us so genuinely and then took us to the boat. The boat was the only part of the tour which is shared with other people. The boat ride was smooth and it was a gorgeous day out. The boat took us to see what was called "the triton" it's a marking on a sand peninsula…”
Review of a private Cusco tour to Ollantaytambo and Pisac, with a Sacred Valley farm visit, local market, and gourmet picnic lunch.
“Valentin is very, very knowledgable about Peru. It was so great having a guide who grew up in the Sacred Valley and knows the locals. It was so informative to learn about the day-to-day life of the Andean villages (e.g. diet, weather, economy, agriculture). If you want an in-depth and thorough understanding of this wonderful region of Peru, this is a great tour to take.”
