    Eduardo (Valencia Travel)

    My wife and I have just returned from an incredible 19-night escorted tour of Peru with Newmarket Holidays, and we honestly couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Our main tour guide, Eduardo, was outstanding and simply couldn’t be faulted. He is a genuinely kind, caring person who clearly wanted everyone in the group to experience the very best of Peru. From the smallest details, such as providing us with bottled water each day, to ensuring every part of our journey ran smoothly, nothing was ever too much trouble. Throughout the tour we visited Lima, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Chinchero, Moray, Ollantaytambo, Pisac, Machu Picchu, Cusco (including Coricancha, Sacsayhuamán and the Cathedral), Puno and the Uros Islands, Colca National Park, Chivay, Condor Cross and the beautiful White City of Arequipa. Despite travelling extensively around the country and moving from place to place almost every day, everything ran seamlessly. We had six internal flights during the trip, along with coaches, trains and boat journeys, and every transfer was exceptionally well organised. Hotel check-ins were effortless, our suitcases were always delivered to our rooms, boarding passes and travel documents were prepared for us, and all entrance tickets were ready whenever we arrived at each attraction. We never had to worry about the logistics, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy every destination. We also made a last-minute decision to travel from Cusco to Puno on the PeruRail Titicaca Train instead of taking the coach. Eduardo arranged everything for us at very short notice, including helping us purchase the tickets, making the whole process completely stress-free. During the trip, my wife’s suitcase unfortunately lost a wheel while travelling around Peru. Once again, Eduardo went above and beyond by arranging for it to be repaired and returned to us before we departed the following morning. It was a perfect example of the exceptional level of care he showed throughout the holiday. After two weeks, we said goodbye to the main group as my wife and I continued our adventure with a four-night stay in the Amazon Rainforest. Even though our escorted tour had officially ended, Eduardo remained in contact with us throughout this part of our trip. He organised our private transfer to the airport, which again ran perfectly smoothly, and made sure everything was in place. When we returned from the Amazon, there was some confusion regarding our hotel room booking, but after a brief conversation with Eduardo, he resolved the issue almost immediately. The fact that he continued to look after us even after we had left the main group says so much about his dedication and genuine care for his guests. What impressed us most was Eduardo’s incredible knowledge. There genuinely wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer. Whether it was about Peru’s history, culture, wildlife, geography or everyday life, his knowledge was exceptional. He shared it with genuine enthusiasm and passion, bringing every destination to life and making every journey and stop even more fascinating. Eduardo’s professionalism, organisation, attention to detail and genuine passion for his country transformed what was already an amazing itinerary into a truly unforgettable holiday. Everything ran like clockwork from start to finish, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without having to worry about a thing. If you’re considering this Newmarket Holidays tour of Peru, don’t hesitate. You’ll experience one of the most beautiful countries in the world, with an outstanding guide looking after you every step of the way. Thank you, Eduardo and Newmarket Holidays, for memories that will last a lifetime.

    Response from the operator: Your review beautifully captures how special this Peru journey was. We are very pleased to know that Edward made the experience so seamless, from transfers, flights, tickets, and hotel arrangements to last-minute requests and unexpected situations along the way. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care clearly helped you enjoy every destination with confidence and peace of mind. Thank you for recognizing Edward and for sharing such meaningful words about your time in Peru.

    2 Day - Colca Canyon and Condor Tour from Arequipa, Peru - Group Service: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 2 Day - Colca Canyon and Condor Tour from Arequipa, Peru - Group Service cost?

    +

    Prices start at $288 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arequipa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Day - Colca Canyon and Condor Tour from Arequipa, Peru - Group Service take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Arequipa is not rushed.

    Is 2 Day - Colca Canyon and Condor Tour from Arequipa, Peru - Group Service worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Arequipa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day - Colca Canyon and Condor Tour from Arequipa, Peru - Group Service?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 2 Day - Colca Canyon and Condor Tour from Arequipa, Peru - Group Service suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Day - Colca Canyon and Condor Tour from Arequipa, Peru - Group Service?

    +

    Around 6 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 Arequipa 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 Arequipa and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Day - Colca Canyon and Condor Tour from Arequipa, Peru - Group Service 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 Arequipa 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 Arequipa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Arequipa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arequipa Rafting on the Chili river free pick-up,snack., 2 Day 1 Night Trek Colca Canyon, Chili River White Water Rafting Adventure with Pickup. 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 Arequipa?

    +

    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 Arequipa?

    +

    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.
