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.

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


When we found a cheap flight to Peru, we pretty much only knew Machu Pichu was there and were pretty clueless about everything else. Aspiring Adventures asked thoughtful questions about what we like and put together an amazing itinerary that we loved. The food and locations they chose were great, and whenever we needed advice, they helped us figure out exactly what we needed, whether it was the right restaurant, how to find a real pure alpaca hat, or the history behind an architectural feature, they always knew. I'm so glad they were the ones teaching us more about their beautiful country.

From the very first email and phone call Steve and Katy were warm, reassuring, understanding, above all professional and obviously extremely well informed. A huge thank you to our guide Aldo who must be the kindest, most patient man on the face of the earth (and probably the best informed on the Inca empire too!) Everything on this trip was just wonderful, so much so that it has changed maybe forever my view on international travel I am already thinking about where our next family trip will be! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

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.

Hi Steve and Katy, thanks for a wonderful trip, we had a great time and would recommend Aspiring to anyone considering visiting South America. Special mention to Luis and Ronald (Charlie one and Charlie two). They went the xtra mile for us, two fine young men!
