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.

I really appreciated the personal service Katy and her team rendered. They were always responsive with advice, useful information and good humor and made me feel assured I was in good hands. Our guide Abel taught us new biking skills, and gave us new confidence handling the different terrains in Peru. We enjoyed magnificent scenery, met the locals, had great company and shared lots of laughs. Thank you, Aspiring Adventures, for a very memorable time.

We arrived home just a couple of hours ago and I wanted to make sure that I reach out to you and let you know about our wonderful experience. We gave a rave review on Trip Advisor, but I wanted to make sure I wrote you personally to let you know that we really thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Luis was brilliant! He was so kind and funny and helped us understand so much more than we ever knew. He was charismatic and sociable with us, really the perfect tour guide! Ronald was a great driver as well. I mean, we rode a lot around Peru as passengers and Ronald was by far the best. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that Luis is the best, Roni is awesome and the tour was absolutely amazing. We had THE BEST TIME, and thank you very much!!!

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.

Absolutely 5-star. I didn't know what to expect, but Aspiring Adventures exceeded my wildest dreams. Great guides, great biking, great scenery, great encouragement, great mini-connections with natives. Loved biking downhill in the Andes the most. I also enjoyed the two nights we camped. And of course Machu Picchu.
