Trip of a lifetime! - We booked our trip to Peru through Groupon and chose Kaypi Tours, not knowing exactly what to expect. However, from start to finish, the experience exceeded all our expectations. Booking our trip was a breeze thanks to Kaypi, and Peru itself was nothing short of breathtaking. Machu Picchu left us speechless, and the local cuisine was simply fabulous. Our guide Franco deserves special mention; he was not just knowledgeable but truly made our journey unforgettable. His insights into Peruvian culture and history enriched every excursion, from Cusco to Ollantaytambo, the Maras Salt Mines, and even an Alpaca Farm visit. Franco's passion for his country and warmth towards our group made him more than just a guide – he became a friend. Every aspect of the tour was well-planned and executed flawlessly, ensuring we could relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics. The group we traveled with was amazing, adding to the camaraderie and joy of the experience. We can confidently say this was our favorite trip ever, thanks to the impeccable service of Kaypi Tours and the exceptional guidance of Franco. Thank you for the incredible memories!

Super fun day and worth doing. - Super fun day organized by Alpaca. We were originally scheduled to hike Rainbow Mountain but succumbed to an injury. We called Alpaca and they let us switch yours. Had a great visit at Alpaca company, a jewelry place, a few Inca sites and also had a fantastic Peruvian buffet for lunch. The day was packed and well planned. Simon was a fantastic tour guide. There are a lot of alpaca stores in Cusco, I would recommend this trip early on the trip to get used to high altitudes but also the education on alpaca wool.

Absolutely amazing! - We purchased our trip through Groupon. We didn’t know what to expect but it turned out to be super easy to book our trip with Kaypi. Peru was absolutely beautiful. Machu Pucchi was breathtaking, and the food was fabulous. Our guide was Franco and he was awesome. He taught us so much about the culture and history. All the excursions were excellent and the people were so sweet and endearing. Franco has been the best guide we have ever had. It was hands down our favorite trip ever. It was physically challenging at times but well worth it. We were so blessed to have had such an amazing group of people on our tour. They were all wonderful. Thank you all for an amazing trip and great memories!

Absolutely Amazing! Highly Recommend! - We had an absolutely amazing time on our tour of Peru through Kaypi Tours. The price was fantastic, but more importantly the service and the experience were exceptional. During the planning stages, Jhorel was amazing. He responded quickly to questions and made sure we were prepared for everything. When we arrived in Lima everything went as planned taking all of the stress out of traveling internationally. Our tour guide Jonathan was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. In the Amazon we had a once-in-a-lifetime experience with the EcoAmazoniao Lodge. The accommodations, the hikes, the wildlife, and the jungle are something we will never forget. Our tour guide Victor was the best in the business. He made our hikes so wonderful. Finally we made it to Cusco where we met Franco. He is without a doubt the BEST tour guide in all of Peru! He was with us in Cusco, and our day trip excursions to Ollantaytamo, the Maras Salt mines, and Alpaca Farm. He also guided us to Machu Picchu which was everything we hoped for and more. After spending three days with him he felt just like a friend and we were so grateful for his time. He even (jokingly) guaranteed us great weather and a clear view at Machu Picchu because the forecast looked iffy. Well he must have some connection to the weather gods because his guarantee came through. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It was amazing through and through!

Great, fast-paced Peru tour - My husband and I had a great time on our Kaypi Tour to Peru. It was a fast-paced trip with lots of sights and tons to explore. We flew into Lima, then went to Puno, Lake Titicaca, the Uros Floating Islands, Amantani Island, Tequile, Cusco, and Machu Picchu! There were so many memorable activities along the way, especially the salt mines, the Sacred Valley, and all the llamas and alpacas. Our tour guide Franco was very knowledgeable, sharing a lot of insight on Quechua words and customs. He was so fun, too! He even joined us one night for karaoke in Machu Picchu town, shared funny stories with us over meals, and was all around accommodating. We had one hiccup with part of our itinerary on our way home. We had a 12-hour gap in Lima before our next flight. Franco was able to coordinate a last-minute hotel stay for us, though. And we just took an Uber to the airport the next day. The elevation is very high, so plan accordingly, but very much worth it!

Words cannot describe the beauty of Peru! It should be on everyone's bucket list! - Sacred Valley, Maras salt mines & Ollantaytambo are truly amazing. The alpaca farm is awesome and the merchandise they produce is gorgeous. Our tour guide Ando is the greatest! He is very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to have as our guide.

Peru just became my favorite place to travel - Franco was the best tour guide I have ever had. I own a private social club in Oklahoma City ( Prestige Adventure Club) and we are always looking for new unique experiences that we can offer our members. This trip offered it all. We started in Lima with a half day tour which was just enough because it gave us time to rest up from the flight. We then flew to another part of Peru where we were picked up by Franco ( who did I mention was amazing) He was very accommodating with all our groups needs and questions. He went out of his way to set up things on our tour that were not included. One of my favorite parts were he took us to buy food for a family we stayed the night with. At the time it didnt occur to me how much the family would appreciate the food we brought but when the Mom realized how much food was brought by our group of 10 people she just cried. We went to Lake Titicaca and saw the floating islands and hiked a lot. I am out of shape and the altitude really did a number on me but Franco had a local on a motorbike take me up the mountain, which I loved!!! We made a number of stops to see many different ruins along out journey while making our way to Cusco by Mercedes Van. While in Cusco we had so many amazing dinners, must try the Pizza. After we made our way to Machu Picchu by train. Words cant describe how beautiful this country and the people are. I asked Franco for a lot of recommendations and he always made it a point to deliver great experiences. Much love to our guide Franco cant wait to see you when I return with our members
