V!VA User‘s Description
Peru Adventure Tours offers the full gamut of hiking and walking tours around Arequipa as well as sandboarding to nearby Ica. Unlike many operators in the area, they do not have rafting trips but instead have ATV tours and horseback riding trips.
A four-hour tour of Arequipa costs $35 for an English speaking guide, including transportation and entrance to all attractions. During high season a five-day trek to Machu Picchu costs $345.
Their tours are more expensive than other operators but they claim to pay Peruvian taxes that many companies cleverly evade due to Peru's loose tax structure. Additionally, their employees are paid higher guaranteed wages than other operators in the area.
They also have a 'responsible tourism' policy that all guides and staff have been trained in. Make the decision for yourself, but understand this is one of the reasons for the higher prices.

This travel agency is the best online way to find all travel information about Peru. Highly recommended tour operator.
We did a 17-day Peru Classic Tour with Peru Adventure Tours and they were very professional. We highly recommend them. Mark & Nita, England.
Very helpful and informative tour operator for Cusco region.
We found Peru Adventures in the South American Handbook 2007, and we did the bike expedition from Cuzco to Manu Park, which was a perfect adventure expedition. We arranged the Inca Trail hike (4 days) and the staff did an excellent job; we really appreciated the hard work they put in to satisfy our curiosity during our jounrey through Peru. Thank you for your time and for answering all of my questions. You are a gem of person, Saul. We hope to see you again. Merry Christmas and all the best in 2008, Monique & Harold
It was great to find Peru Adventure Tours. They offer the best alternatives , like native villages where there are never any other hikers. After sending hundreds of emails to many tour operators in Peru, we finally found Peru Adventure Tours. They were effective in responding our questions by email. Saul was very informative and he added to and changed our 17-day travel plan in Peru. Thank for your patience and help arranging the best luxury vacation in Peru. You had good 4x4s, camping gear, and the best cook and camp staff that we have ever had before. We plan to come back in 2010. We will bring our own bikes and cycle from Cusco to Manaus. Saul, we will be touch. Geromy B. German group
TOUR GUIDE: Saul My turn to express my gratitude... Thank you for coordinating such an awesome trip for us! Everything was thoughtfully planned. All we had to do was show up and have fun. Your friendliness and warm hospitality helped us settle in very quickly. Images of exotic wonder, thrill of all-action adventure, savory Peruvian cuisine and constant laughter are memories we will treasure forever. I wish you all the best! Un abrazo, Gary Liu Taiwan
