The 15 Best Private Tours in Peru

Private Excursion to Humantay Lake from Cusco and Coca Ceremony - Breakfast in Mollepata before the climb

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 758 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $120Our pick

Review of a private Humantay Lake hike from Cusco, with meals, transport, mountain views, a sacred Apus offering, and practical tips.

“Our trip to Humantay was cancelled last minute, as a landslide had blocked the access road, but we were quickly offered a tour of the Seven Lakes instead, which was an incredible alternative, by the helpful, efficient tour operator staff. Our guide, Edwar, was extremely knowledgeable and made us feel that we could go at our own pace, which at high altitude, was much appreciated. And our driver, Wilfredo, took good care on the winding roads up to the hike, which you cannot take for granted, as we have found out on other tours in Peru! Highly recommend this company, thank you.”

“The train ride up to Macho Picho was breath taking. Loved it! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, was well as a great photo taker. Macho Picho was impressive and interesting. The tour operator did an outstanding job changing tour itinerary because my tour was delayed a day due to Peru Airport shut down for a day. The tour operator also did a great job preparing the tour and explaining how it was to be executed. This tour was a great experience.”

The guides recommended which tickets to buy and gave us feedback on our train and bus schedule. My husband and I were very happy with our experience and we recommend this private tour to everyone who is visiting Machu Picchu for the first time.”
