Peru tours that delve deeper

You’re a thoughtful traveller, seeking an experience that’s as authentic and out of the ordinary as you are. You want to be part of the picture – not just another tourist snapping a photo through a bus window. You seek to transcend the obvious, meet real people and get a taste of local life.
You’ve come to the right place.

Age, fitness, available time, and past travel experience are irrelevant. You aspire to a real experience: that’s what matters.

We create life-changing travel experiences.

Intimate group tours that take you beneath the surface. Custom private trips limited only by your imagination. Personal service that exceeds all expectations.

The Peru Classic was such a great way to travel, learn about the amazing history and have plenty of fun and adventure along the way. Luis was great with the kids and we really appreciated his knowledge and passion for Peru, its history and indigenous culture. Thanks for giving our family an experience that we'll never forget.

The level of personal attention was far better than other guided trips I’ve taken in the past. Organization, flexibility, communication are key words to describe the pre-trip experience. You helped us make the connection with the 'real' Peru, not the one that tourists generally see. If all of your guides are remotely as good as Aldo you are very lucky.

If you are looking for a real insight into local culture and history, Peru Classic has it all. Something for outdoor adventurers, foodies, history buffs, shoppers and amateur anthropologists; as well as time to explore on your own. We had a ball. Thank you Steve, Katy and the team.

A magnificent trip from the Galapagos Islands to Machu Picchu and all the places in-between, moving from one mind expanding activity to the next. We were very impressed by the way our guides quickly knew our names and judged the character and needs of individuals. Aspiring Adventures will bend over backwards to provide you with the type of adventure you are seeking!
