Peruvian Soul Recensioni 

This “travel agency” deserves a ZERO star rating for the treatment I’ve received. They took my deposit, went totally silent for weeks, have refused to give me any confirmed itinerary for my trip, claim they have incurred non-refundable “payments” to “partners” but won’t provide any proof of that, refuse to give me a refund and as a “solution” offered me a dirty bus ride across Peru lasting 8 hours. This is not a legitimate travel agency, This is a scam. BEWARE.

We recently completed a fantastic 12-day trip to Peru with Anne Godoy and the team at Peruvian Soul, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The itinerary was perfectly planned and included Lima, the Sacred Valley, the Salkantay Trek, Machu Picchu, and Cusco. Anne took the time to understand our interests and preferences and built a customized trip that exceeded our expectations. Throughout the planning process, Anne was responsive, cooperative, and attentive to every detail. During the trip itself, the entire team was professional, punctual, and always available to assist with any questions or changes. Every transfer, guide, and activity was seamlessly organized, allowing me and my two sons to simply enjoy the experience. Thank you to Anne and the entire team for an outstanding experience. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to Peru.

Where do I even begin?
All memorable holidays have a beginning and I can say from first hand experience that the enthusiasm, positivity and professionalism of the team at Peruvian Soul was the key to our terrific 3 weeks spent in this breathtaking and beautiful country
Special and heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Nicholas, Jesus and particularly our private guides Geraldine, Willy, Wilson and Julio for their sparkling personalities and for being on hand to create one of the most personalised and immersive travel experiences we have ever had, with each team member playing a huge role in making each day uniquely unforgettable!
Super comfortable cars, reliable and safe drivers , and a carefully curated itinerary with flexibility to make changes where possible, we were made to feel like part of a big close knit family- without encountering the dreaded commercialised “tourist traps” that are unfortunately all too common nowadays
If you are after a holiday of a lifetime in Peru then look no further than Peruvian Soul - an extraordinary family that we were privileged to be a part of!

This was our first trip to this side of the world and we had a 9 day tour booked starting and ending in Cusco with 3 nights in the Amazon rainforest.The itinerary and properties booked were very impressive.We were amazed to see the effort and care taken to plan such an extensive trip which covered and introduced us to the history and culture.
Our guide Guido in Cusco made us feel welcome and kept us entertained and on our toes(literally!).His knowledge and pride for his country shone through and kept us curious all throughout.Kudos to him and his wonderful attitude.
The team behind the scenes were attentive to our every need.We were very impressed with the way our transfers were managed by the staff of Inkaterra Hacienda,it was flawless..big thanks to them.
If you are planning a trip this side and want to make the most of your time here,Peruvian Soul should be your goal.Keep up the great work

This was our first trip using a travel specialist to plan and book the entire experience. We were connected with Peruvian Soul andour rep Anne. Because of Covid and then variouschallenges on our end, this trip was several years in the making. But Peruvian Soul and Anne really delivered. She helped us create an itinerary combining her recommendations and experience along with our research and goals. It was a true collaboration. And then Peruvian Soul really came through on the logistics. During the trip, their operation manager Jesus, provided us with frequent updates as needed. He was available for questions. And he was able to make happen a short notice changes in our itinerary that became necessary. This was our first time trusting someone to take care of travel arrangements other than ourselves, and I was very impressed.
So many highlights but want to mention several that were suggested and/or coordinated by Anne & Peruvian Soul.
- Home visit and Homestay on Capachica Peninsula, Lake Titicaca: We visited two kind, delightful families to get a glimpse into their lifestays, and share several meals, next to Lake Titicaca. We were shown how they use local plants as everything from soap to medicine. We witnessed (and slightly helped) our host Ruffino fishing on Lake Titicaca by hauling in nets. It was a cool opportunity to get a bit of insight into their lives and to simply get to know them a little. We had a very good guide who shared the history of the area and the customs of the people on the penisula.
- El Alberque, Ollantaytambo - in one place we were able to enjoy a Panchamanca lunch; learn about and roast a batch of coffee; and then create our own botanical liquor in their distillery. We had a fun and insightful afternoon.
- Misminay Community, Sacred Valley - We spent several hours in Misminay with were our local hosts showed us about their weaving; demonstrating the process and showing us how they create their colors with plants and minerals. Then we had a short lesson, trying to learn the local language, Quechua. From their compound, we were able to take a short hike to see the Moray terraces.
- Market visit and cooking glass in Cusco - Anne set us up with the restaurant Mama Seledonia to get a educational (and tasting) tour of 2 Cusco markets. From there, we took the purchases back to the restaurant to make our own lunch, cocktails and then to try a variety of fruits we purchased. The chef (Gustavo) was great and it was a wonderful experience.
- Not surprisingly, Cuscuo, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu were trip highlights. But what made it excellent was our guide, Luis. The poor guy was stuck with us for almost 5 days :) He truly made the trip excellent for us. It was more like travelling with a friend than a guide. (But a friend who knew a ton!)

I enthusiastically recommend Peruvian Soul. Anne sincerely created an amazing experience for us and they all (Jesus, our guides and drivers) made it go great. They really took care of us.

We had a great trip planned for us and we loved our tour guide Willy. Very knowledgeable, caring and downright fun! He made us smile and laugh for 9 days and made this a memorable trip for all of us. Highly recommend him, Allen (driver was great too) and Peruvian Soul.

Willy & Allen were wonderful. They were very knowledgeable, informative, fun, energetic, incredibly friendly & helpful when there was a few health issues along the way. I would definitely recommend them and will request them, if I am able to come back to Peru.

Peruvian Soul is all about perfect organization, good time management, experienced and friendly tour guides, flawless communication with the agency, meeting all our requests with perfect service. The proposed hotels in Lima, Sacred Valley, Cuzco were great, Antigua Casona in Cusco- a real gem. The proposed sites were all very interesting, Machu Picchu the most incredible of all. Definitely take two entrances for the Machu Picchu if the weather is foggy to have the chance to see it clearly at least with one of the entries. I would recommend Peruvian Soul to all my friends and definitely will make my next plans with them again. Love for them:)

The entire experience, working with kimkim, has been seamless. Jimena Salazar was ur Travel Curator and really listened to what we we were hoping to experience.
Our guide and driver, Alvaro, helped to customize our Lima and coastal travels, and it added greatly to how much we enjoyed ourselves. Guides that are from the area are proud to share their "home".
Joel, an exceptional driver, and Guido, our local guide picked us up at the airport and transported us into their Peruvian world and culture for 7 days! I consider Guido a friend, clearly passionate about his home and country, as well as incredibly knowledgeable. It was unlike any other tour guide I've had. They were exceptionally flexible, adaptive to the pace our our group and answered all of our questions with humor, insight, and warmth. He knew the people where we stopped which is a reflection to how he does business. He asked for the food we weren't eating to kindly and generously share with the locals. He made suggestions that brought the tour "to life". I'm sincere when I say that it would not have been the same exceptional experience had it not been for Alvaro, Joel and Guido.

Working with Jimena at kimkim, she assigned Guido (our guide) and Odi (our driver) from Peruvian Soul for our Cuzco-Machu Picchu trip to Peru. Wow - what a great experience for us. Guido is one of the most knowledgeable guides we have ever used, and educated us on Inka customs and history as only a local can. He took us to all the wonderful sights in and around Cuzco and educated us on where to find the best cuisine. In Machu Picchu, we spent two days with him and again marveled at his knowledge of the Inka trails and history of this wonder of the world! And of course, Odi drove us safely wherever we went on some very challenging roads! Thanks again to the Peruvian Soul team and kimkim for crafting a memorable itinerary for us to experience Peru. Highly recommended!!!

Our family (2 adults, 2 children - 8 & 10 years old) had an AMAZING two-week trip to Peru in July! Our local specialist, Jimena, understood right from the start the sort of trip our family was looking for and made the planning process extremely easy. She made all of the arrangements for us to see everything we had on our wish list, but also included many stops and sites along the way that we didn't even know about but made the trip all the more special. Upon arrival in Lima, we were greeted by Bosco (at like 2:00 in the morning!) who was exceptionally friendly got us to our hotel and ensured an easy check-in. While we had some free time in Lima, we took a food tour through the Barranco neighborhood that was exceptional. After Bosco got us back to the airport a couple of days later, we were then greeted in Cusco by our private guide Guido and driver, Alan. I cannot say enough good things about these two gentlemen. Guido has been leading tours in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu for many years, and his deep knowledge and easy manner enriched each of the six days we spent with him. I even ended up needing to go to a clinic one day because of food poisoning and Guido and Alan stayed with me and ensured I got the meds I needed and got back to the hotel, even though it extended their day by a lot. I'm forever grateful them, and our entire time in Cusco/Sacred Valley was so much richer than I expected it to be because of them. After our time in the Cusco area, we headed back to Lima where we met with Bosco again. He traveled with us from Lima to Paracas and while he wasn't leading our tours, it was reassuring to know he was nearby if we needed anything at all. Our tours of the Ballestas Islands, Paracas Nature Reserve, and overflight of Nazca lines were fantastic. I highly, highly recommend any and all parts of this trip to others. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and one that our family will remember forever. Many, many thanks to the entire team who made this happen!

Our recent trip to Peru was filled with fun and physical challenges. The Inca Trail from KM 82 to Machu Picchu is a good endurance test with elevation gains of approximately 5,000 feet and many ups and downs over four days and 30 miles. Please be physically prepared for this test. It will not be fun if you are sore or ill during the hiking and camping. Having guides and drivers during our entire trip was a real plus. Valeria, Julio, Chino, Yisus, Enrique, and Willy were wonderful ambassadors of Peru. Many thanks to Anne and Jesus for organizing such a fun and eventful trip. Recommend that you change a little money at a bank or at the airport ahead of landing in Peru. The exchange rate at the airport is poor but having soles in your pocket should help with tipping, etc. when you arrive. Your guides can help you with larger exchanges during your trip. ATM’s are another great source for soles. The Quechua, Aymara, and Uros peoples are happy and pleasant to be around. The Peruvian people seem to be hardworking and fun loving rolled into one. The Barranco and Miraflores are must see destinations while in Lima. Cusco and Saxay Wumun, Moray, Marasal, Puno, Ollantytambo, the Sacred Valley, and Lake Titicaca all had much to offer visitors. Whether you hike or take the train, Machu Picchu should be on everyone’s itinerary. The children of the Sun have a rich heritage and are happy to share their history with anyone who wishes to see. We enjoyed our trip. We hope you enjoy yours. Nick and Celeste

Hi, from start to finish my visit to Peru was superb, all thanks to Peruvian Soul. Everything was well organised from the small things like being picked up/dropped off at the airports to the tour guides (especially Willie around Machu Picchu and Cusco). Nothing was ever a problem if we had to tweak things. I’m not one of those people who write glowing reviews for the sake of it, but this company truly deserve it.

Absolutely stellar collaboration of accommodations, activities, resources. Jimena did an outstanding job organizing a trip that needed to be adjusted to a solo trip after my brother suffered an injury last minute that did not enable him to go.

Edwar was exceptional as a guide. He was interesting, funny, knowledgeable, authentic. I would highly recommend him and Peruvian soul to anyone going to Peru!

We had an amazing experience. The walking tour in Baranco with Andrea was so informative and left us looking for all of the food choices. The Pisco tour and dune buggy ride with our guide Alavore was excellent. He went out of us way to make us feel welcome. And the few days we had in Cusco with Willi were amazing. He is probably the best tour guide I have ever had.

Peruvian Soul planned an amazing 17 day trip in Peru for five of us. We visited the Amazon, Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Cusco, Arequipa and the Colca Canyon. There were lots of details to our trip and Peruvian Soul handled everything perfectly. We had amazing guides, memorable experiences, outstanding food, and we learned so much about the history and culture of this beautiful country. Thank you, Peruvian Soul, for creating an extraordinary trip for us.

We went on a 7 hour hike of the Inka Trail, explored the Citadel at Macchu Picchu, and then went rafting in a different location (opposite direction of Macchu Picchu)
The guides were wonderful, really passionate about their work. The entire team made our whole experience easy. Planning was amazing, they handled all logistics, moved our luggage from point to point. We were really taken care of and they made sure that we got to experience the most during our short time there.

My husband and I spent a week in Peru and were so happy with our experience with Peruvian Soul. They were punctual, knowledgeable, helpful, thoughtful, made us feel safe, etc. We would absolutely recommend them to friends and family.

Our experience with Peruvian Soul was truly outstanding. Thanks to their entire team, our vacation in Peru was incredibly memorable and fun, but also efficient and well planned. Anne G did a remarkable job communicating with us to understand our interests and to build an itinerary that ended up exceeding our expectations every single day. Our guide (Julio Cesar) was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, geography, and native wildlife in the Cusco and sacred valley areas. He was also very tactful and professional in recognizing our interests and reading our desire to go further/faster or tone it down for the day. I would HIGHLY recommend Julio as a guide in the Cusco area! Lastly, our driver (Odilon) was perfect. He was always on time, was extremely skilled in navigating difficult traffic, and was super friendly but not overly talkative. He always made us feel comfortable and safe while driving!

I would use Peruvian Soul again in a heartbeat!! Thank you for an unforgettable vacation in the Andes!!

A fantastic experience from Peruvian Soul.

I originally contacted Peruvian Soul to help me with a visit to Chachapoyas and the Utcabamba Valley during my self planned holiday.
From my interactions with them it became clear that I could use and rely on them to book the guides and accommodation and trips in each location.
They were incredibly efficient and sorted everything out at a cost effective price.
Having given us a day to explore in Lima to recover from the flight from the UK, we then did a food tour in Barranco before visiting the Larco museum.
After that the guides kicked in. We had Antonio in Arequipa and the Colca valley, Richard in Puno, Julio in Cusco and Jhon in Chacapoyas.
Each guide had a driver and loked after us from pick up to drop off.
In Lima, we had the lovely Carlos (ponytailed surfer) picking us up and dropping us off.
The itinerary was largely perfect with a mixture of ruins and local culture. For example, in the Sacred Valley we visited a farming community in the Highlands.
Our guide in Cusco is employed by Peruvian Soul and was amazing. He is allowed to guide up the one day Machu Picchu trail which helped us.
Our guide in the Utcabamba valley was self employed but clearly knows the valley well and took around Kuelap (thoughly recommended) and to the Gocta waterfall.
Well arranged by Jimena and well supported in country by Jesus.
Thank you Peruvian Soul.
