If you are seeking to explore the culture of Sacred Valley, Peru, I would highly recommend Retreats and Tours Peru to do to partner with again any day. The planning process with Laura and Carlos not only felt professional, but also felt caring and compassionate every step of the way. Laura was really great in supporting us with creating the logistics for the retreat in terms of the itinerary planning and also with helping with accepting payments and taking care of my retreat participants prior to the retreat. She was also very good at answering any questions that I had about the retreat, or any questions that our retreat guests had in preparation for this amazing experience. Carlos is an amazing guide who puts his heart and soul into the work that he does, and showed us a really great time in Peru and gave us a mixture of learning about the culture of Peru, the historic sights, the food, the cuisine, the art, and is also just an all around good person. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone especially if you want to see Peru from the eyes of a local and from people who and from a company who puts people first. Thank you, Laura and Carlos!

"What a spectacular and unforgettable adventure! Laura and Carlos took care of every detail. We experienced so much history, food, and wonderful people. We visited Quechua villages, took breathtaking tours of ancient sites, and enjoyed delicious street food. Just tell them what kinds of experiences you are looking for and let them craft your trip. You will NOT regret it!"

I had never been to Peru. I booked my travel to Peru, and two weeks later I flew out. I didn’t speak the language, I didn’t have an event planned, and I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for. What I did know is that I wanted to hire a guide who could roll with me, to let things unfold and to help me create an adventure that would last a lifetime. In the days before I left the United States for Peru, I reached out to Laura and Retreats and Tours, Peru. After the decision to go, the best thing I did was to hire them to be my guide — to help me live an adventure. It was, without question, the best money I’ve spent for travel guidance in my lifetime. I will come back. And when I do, I will hire Laura and Carlos once again. I can’t recommend them highly enough. There wasn’t one thing I asked to see, do, or experience that they didn’t make happen—usually with only a few hour's notice. This is more than a review of a business. It’s a thankyou for the chance to have the trip of a lifetime. You will not regret hiring Retreats and Tours; I will do it again.

You have been so wonderful to work with, and I appreciate all the time you spend with me. I have so much love and gratitude for you and your wonderful work.

This experience was incredible. The company's organization of the details was impeccable. We were notified of everything and had all the necessary documents needed to transition from one activity to another. The sites we visited were beautiful, and we had sufficient time to explore. The highlight were the guides for each part of the trip. In Cucco, Effy (sp) was friendly and provided quite a bit of information about the history of the country and all of the sites we visited. Our guide, Carlos, in Aguas Calientes, was simply INCREDIBLE! He was extremely informative and patient as we explored. He took great pictures of us at different points, and he was a joy to spend the early morning hours with for this tour. Both of these guides were fantastic, but Carlos was honestly one of the best tour guides we have ever had. If you book this tour, ask for these gentlemen.

Carlos Alberto Sifuentes Sullcaccori was our guide at Machu Pichu and he was a great guide! We are a family of 4 with 2 tweens. He met up with us at our hotel the night before our tour of MachuPichu and gave great advice to tackle altitude sickness. He got the hotel way before time….(early morning 5.30am!) and had all the information ready. We had a great tour of Machupichu, he was well mannered and patient in explaining and answering all our questions. He even hiked with 2 of us to Huayana Pichu…again very patiently as we took many pictures along the way. We highly recommend him if you are looking for a private guide. Thank you Carlos!
