“We were fortunate to have Luis (Leuko) as our tour guide. He was through, kind, and patient, had a good command of the English language, and explained places we visited and customs well. Many of the people of Peru dress daily in their colorful native costumes. It is a trip I am glad that we took.”

“This was one of the best Smartours we have taken. Our tour guide,Alvin, was perfect. As far as I'm concerned, he could do no wrong. The Peruvian people were very friendly, the food was great and the sights were fabulous. What more could you ask for. The hotels were very good also. When we are ready to book a tour again, Smartours is on the top of my list!!,”

“My husband, son and I, along with my sister-in-law and her partner tried to think of one thing that could have improved this tour company and this trip...but came up with nothing. This tour company runs a smooth, competent tour...run like a well oiled machine. From the flights, hotels meals, recommended restaurants, sights and tours were planned with such expertise and wonder. This was our first experience with a tour company and I was overwhelmed with their professionalism and attention to detail. The entire trip was meticulously planned so that we were climatized appropriately...with amazing hotels (best I've stayed at in the world) so unique and meals were art in themselves...our tour guide Lucou...not sure of spelling...was knowledgable, friendly, patient, caring and become all our friend....I just sat back and enjoyed, with not a single worry...felt very safe, secure and well taken care of. Every penny spent on this tour was worth it and more. I wish I was better with writing to express my gratitude to Smartours for introducing e to a whole new way of travel for my husband and I...Every moment was scheduled to give the proper balance of rest and wonder.....Thank you Thank you Thank you and can't wait for our next adventure with Smartours.”

“This was our sixth tour with Smartours and it was fabulous. We are always amazed at the high quality hotels and tours for such an affordable price!! Our tour guide, Enrique Virto was the most outstanding tour guide we have ever had. His knowledge and love of Peru was evident in the information provided. His presentation was understandable and humorous at times. Enrique went the extra mile to ensure special requests were met. We saw all of the wonders of Peru and came home extremely satisfied.”

“Just returned from this trip to Peru, and without a doubt our tour guide/director Enrique Virto was amazing- his rich Inca history, knowledge of local politics, healthcare and historical facts made the trip incredible. He took care of us like we were family, accomodating requests and making sure we not only experianced the best of our tour but kept us enthralled with local information and helpful hints. It is clear he loves and is proud of his country and heritage and I cant imagine another guide to have given more of himself to us than Enrique did- Booking Patagonia with Smartours next- the bar is set high!”

“This was out 3rd SmarTour (one woman on our trip was on her 14th SmarTour). It was an amazing trip. Everything was perfect especially our tour guide - Enrique. He was so fabulous - extremely knowledgeable about everything, fascinating, smart and funny. I would definitely go when you know Enrique will be leading the tour. We are now trying to figure out which SmarTour to take next. The hotels, the tours and the price can't be beat.”

“We loved the group and our tour guides Enrique and Charros. It was so good we booked our second smarTours trip to New Zealand and Australia for next fall. Only complaint is we would like to sit together on flights. See if you can work that out for our next trip.”

“I just returned from Peru and I'm a historian and read a bit before the tour. I never imagined our guides Enrique and Charros would be so knowledgeable, funny, informed and passionate. They both had a sense of the history and put the present and history of the region in perspective. Enrique kept a tight ship and no one dared come late. He lead us by passion and humor.Both cared deeply about the history and were dramatic and brought it to life. Both allowed time for questions. The Lima guide in comparison was poor and didn't answer questions and often exaggerated and gave us misinformation.”
