My wife and I had a great time and VIPAC made the entire vacation a truly enjoyable experience. From hotel, train, bus and airplane transfers, VIPAC was there every time; they did a fantastic job. Our tour guides were well informed and made each days itinerary informative, enhancing the visit to a museum, archeological site, markets, and churches. I would use VIPAC again in a heartbeat, without question.

Amazing Trip

IvyMayD_A, Aug 2018

This tour is awesome. The company in Peru, Viajes Pacificos really did an amazing job, very professional, always on time, and very helpful. Shoutout to Gabriela, the best tour guide ever. This tour is for you if you are a first time visitor in Peru and have kids or if you want to take your time and not in a hurry. Ample time is given to you to rest and most especially for you deal with altitude sickness in Cuzco. The rooms provided were very clean and services were abrupt. Highly Recommended
