    Peru

    It was very well organized, always on time, very good comunication about the plans. Always very nice guides. The city tour of lima came a little short, it is very relogious oriented and not a lot about history of the capital of the country.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We are delighted to hear that you appreciated our organization, punctuality, clear communication, and the dedication of our guides. We also truly appreciate your constructive notes regarding the Lima city tour. We understand your point completely—a capital city as rich in heritage as Lima has a complex history that extends well beyond its religious landmarks. Your comments are invaluable, and we will share them directly with our product and operations team as we continuously refine our itineraries to ensure a broader, more balanced historical perspective for our guests. Thank you once again for choosing VIPAC Travel, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another wonderful journey in the future! VIPAC Travel Team

    Peru -Vipac

    Overall it went very well, amazing service, incredible sites and good experiencie. The only thing that I didn't like was the driving by the company drivers. They drive way too fast and way too agresive. It's really crazy and not very safe. I understand that's how people in Peru generally drive, but considering this are company drivers... they could be more considerate with the tourists.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We’re glad to know that you enjoyed the service, the remarkable sites, and the overall journey through Peru. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the driving during the transfers. We understand that this can be an important concern for passengers, particularly when traveling on unfamiliar roads, and we take this type of observation seriously. Your comments will be shared with the team responsible for reviewing this aspect of the service. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Peru for another memorable experience.

    Very Well Organized Trip with Excellent Service, but Changing Groups and Guides

    Overall, I was very satisfied with Vipac Travel and would rate my experience 4 out of 5 stars. The organization was excellent from the beginning. I received my confirmation, itinerary and hotel information well in advance, as well as my train tickets and entrance ticket for Machu Picchu. Communication throughout the trip was outstanding, and I always felt well informed. The guides were consistently very good, friendly and professional. I would especially like to mention Will, Lizander and Monika, who were excellent guides and made their respective parts of the trip particularly enjoyable. Their knowledge, friendliness and professionalism stood out. All pick-ups worked smoothly and reliably. Sometimes the pick-up times were extremely early and the time buffers seemed quite generous, but of course it is much better to arrive too early than to risk missing a flight or other connection. The only aspect that did not fully meet my expectations was the group structure. When booking, I had understood that I would be travelling with a more or less fixed group and a fixed guide, at least from my arrival in Arequipa onwards. In reality, I had a different guide and often a different group almost every day. Although the guides usually contacted me proactively the day before and the organization worked very well, I sometimes felt as if I was being passed from one person to another rather than travelling on one continuous, cohesive tour. Personally, I would have preferred having the same guide and travelling with a fixed group for a larger part of the route, as this would have created a stronger sense of travelling together and experiencing the itinerary as one complete journey. Nevertheless, the overall service, communication and organization were very good, and everything worked reliably throughout my trip. I would recommend Vipac Travel, especially to travellers who value professional organization and dependable logistics.

    10-Day Discover Peru: Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco & Machu Picchu: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.

    How much does 10-Day Discover Peru: Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco & Machu Picchu cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,577 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 10-Day Discover Peru: Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco & Machu Picchu take?

    +

    Plan for about 240 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.

    Is 10-Day Discover Peru: Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco & Machu Picchu worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 377 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 10-Day Discover Peru: Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco & Machu Picchu?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 10-Day Discover Peru: Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco & Machu Picchu suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 240-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 10-Day Discover Peru: Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco & Machu Picchu?

    +

    Around 132 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 10-Day Discover Peru: Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco & Machu Picchu start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lima?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs., Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lima?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lima?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 10-Day Discover Peru: Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco & Machu Picchu?

    +

    Included: All admission tickets on tours; Shared transfer to the train station; Private transfers from airport to hotels; Shared Tours with english-spanish speaking guide; and Lunch.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 10-Day Discover Peru: Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco & Machu Picchu?
