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.


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.

An amazing experience! The cultural experience of 'out of town' Peru is a bonus to see whilst enjoying the great activities. Big thanks to Ronald for making this such an enjoyable trip and providing very thoughtful and personal attention during the whole trip. And not forgetting Steve for the awesome attention to detail and regular contact leading up to the trip.

Our trip was absolutely fantastic! Kudos to you and Steve and everyone from Aspiring Adventures! We were amazed at the perfect balance of spectacular natural beauty, exercise (biking, walking), learning about old & new cultures & the salt mines etc, together time, apart time, good food, comfortable and quaint hostels, the hot springs, the cooks and camping, etc. etc. Great everything!

The Inca Trail hike was beautiful and so fascinating and our Aspiring Adventures guides and crew were great. The mountains near Machu Picchu were as beautiful and majestic a setting as anywhere I have ever seen. The entire experience was amazing. This was our second South American expedition with Aspiring Adventures and we will definitely use them on additional adventures soon.
