Small Group Tours to Peru

Are you thinking of traveling to Peru anytime soon? If so, you should consider a group tour. If you are short on time and want to experience the best of Peru, then a small group tour is the way to go.

Many prefer to travel independently that is ok too, this means you will have to research your destination, contact hotels, buy tickets for the sites that you wish to see, this takes a lot of organization.

But for those who want to relax and have the worry taken out of their holiday a small group tour is for you. The next decision you will have to make is what tour company you want to travel with. This is an important part, make sure you read reviews, make a short list and contact all the companies. See who responds the quickest, who is the most professional in their responses.

Once you have made your decision, talk to your consultant about what it is that you want to experience in Peru. Most want to visit the Inca site of Machu Picchu and yes, the site is busy but the experience will be incredible. What about the Sacred Valley of the Inca? Here you will see some of the most beautiful natural landscapes on the planet. Also, you should discover the ancient history of Cusco, the capital of the Inca empire.

Do you want to spend some time in the capital of Peru, Lima. This metropolis is a wonderful mix of history and modern, with some of the best food in world. Our maybe the pretty white city of Arequipa, or even the southern town of Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca.

Whatever it is that you want to do a small group tour is the way to go. Everything will be arranged for you. From the airport pickup, tours, tickets, hotels, guides you will not have to think of thing, only what to pack.

The cost of a small group tour will depends on the number of days and the sites seen. If you want 4 or 5 star hotels the cost will be more than if you 3 star. If you want to travel to Machu Picchu by luxury train the cost will be more than if you take the tourist train.

Remember if you want to go to Machu Picchu or do one of the many treks, like the Inca Trail you will need to book months in advance, because tickets and permits sell out fast. This is especially true if you want to go in the high season, which is from May to October. The rest of the year is the wet season, tickets are easier to get but you will get rain. In the rainy season crowds are generally smaller but sometimes you won’t see the spectacular views because of the cloud cover.
