The overall experience was fantastic. We travel the world and thoroughly enjoyed our experience with not only Peru, but with Kuoda. Isabele was a joy to work with while booking the experience, all guides were pleasant, on time and knowledgeable. Evelyn was absolutely a pleasure to spend a few days with. She was kind, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and most of all, made us feel right at home. Our driver, Christian, was also wonderful.
Highly recommend Kuoda for any travels...
Kuoda planned our trip to Peru and it was a fantastic experience! We don’t often use travel agents, but for this trip doing lots of hiking, seeing Machu Picchu, exploring the sacred valley, it was perfect. The activities were great for our family, our guide was truly one of the best ever, and the whole trip was so smooth. We loved our personalized itinerary, I would highly recommend Kuoda to anyone.
My family of 4 used Kuoda Travel for a two week trip to Peru. We were overwhelmed by the logistics of the trip planning since we would be moving around quite a bit. We're so glad we used Kuoda! The trip was smooth and efficient. The guides were so helpful and kind, and gave us a true insider experience. The hotels were great quality and the activities were perfect. I can't wait to use them for our next trip!
We highly recommend Kuoda! Their team curated the ideal trip for our family of four. We covered a lot of ground in 10 days, and it was at the PERFECT PACE for our family. All the drivers and guides (especially JJ and Abel in Cusco/Sacred Valley portion) were undeniably INVALUABLE! Every single day, our guide was on time and ready to go with an amazing attitude. They were also very patient and engaging with our two girls, ages 7 and 11.
Visiting Machu Picchu was a highlight, and the main reason for booking our trip, but I truly underestimated how much there is to see and do in Peru! We felt so taken care of the entire time. The culinary experiences (Andean earth fire/private farms/city food tours), workshops (ceramics class/adobe making), and outdoor activities (alpaca farm/horseback riding/hiking around archeological sites) were ALL exceptional. There is not one tour or meal that we would want to change! Also, the accommodations were very nice and spacious enough for our family. We especially loved the eco hotel in the sacred valley — Las Qolqas! It was a quiet, stunning property outside the busy area of town.
Overall, it felt so nice to be off the main tourist path and treated like a VIP. We thought the pricing for our vacation was more than reasonable and reflected our private guided tours fairly. We plan to book another South American adventure with Kuoda!
We had an absolutely wonderful trip to Peru and could not have been happier with the experience and with the entire team at Kuoda Travel.
Kuoda designed a fun, varied and interesting 14 day itinerary including Arequipa, Colca Canyon, Lake Titicaca, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Lima. Everything from the planning to all the logistics of the trip was smooth and well organized, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the journey.
All of the guides and drivers were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. The hotels were excellent, and the food was consistently delicious.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and we would happily recommend Kuoda Travel to anyone planning a trip to Peru.
Visiting Peru and Machu Picchu was a lifetime dream and I chose Kuoda Travel after extensive research and high expectations. From the initial contact with Nadia, my Travel Designer, I knew Kuoda was the right choice. Nadia’s warmth and knowledge was evident right from the start. She designed an 8-day itinerary that was authentic, thoughtful and well-paced. From Lima through the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, and back to Lima, everything was flawless. In addition to a detailed Day-by-Day Itinerary, she provided us a Destination Guide and a Peru Guide that answered all of our questions. Once in Peru we communicated with the Kuoda team, including Lucas, the Customer Care Supervisor, through WhatsApp. At every step of the way there was someone at our side to help us navigate this beautiful country; from Sarah and Ofelia for the airport arrivals and departures, to Jose, our driver. But the trip was made extraordinary by our warm and wonderful Tour Guide, Evelyn. She was the person that brought Peru to life for me and my best friend. Although I had dreamed of Machu Picchu for over forty years, and am in the travel industry, it was hard to believe my friend Debbie was unaware of its existence. Evelyn, our Guide, was with us throughout our journey, and her knowledge and passion for the history, culture, geography, flora, and fauna of Peru was amazing. Her enthusiasm was infectious. We delighted in every experience, from visiting the llamas and alpacas, the amazing lunches at a hacienda and private home, the women weavers near the town of Chinchero, the Maras salt pans, and so much more. Of course, the highlight was Machu Picchu. Evelyn made it come alive. We were fortunate to have multiple visits to the site, so were able to enjoy a slow and thoughtful pace to appreciate the splendor of being there. Staying at the Sanctuary Lodge, steps away from the site, and riding the luxurious Hiram Bingham train fulfilled my Peruvian wish list. Hotels were excellent, food delicious, and museums informative, especially the Larco Museum in Lima. Cusco was colorful, churches beautiful and the Pachamama ceremony giving thanks to Mother Earth on our last morning in Peru was a wonderful spiritual way to make our journey complete. All of this under the guidance of Evelyn and the Kuoda team, our travel family. Kuoda exemplifies the very best of Peru. They provide an exceptional service and I feel confident they will make your dreams come true too.
Fabulous itinerary, exceptional attention to detail, and exceptional tour guides
We had a wonderful experience with Kuoda Travel, guided by Isabelle, who worked closely with us to design an itinerary tailored precisely to our preferences. Our trip included the Amazon, an unforgettable hike to Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley and Cusco, Lima, and Paracas. Every detail was thoughtfully planned with our needs in mind.
The guides were exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we experienced Peru to the fullest. Everything felt truly high-end—nothing was skimped on or overly touristy. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotels, meals, and overall experience.
The Sacred Valley was a highlight, and the 8-mile, one-day hike to Machu Picchu is an absolute must. Paracas is a surprise .... especially the Nasca lines. Peru is an extraordinary destination, and if you want to experience it at its best, Kuoda is the way to go. We have worked with other travel groups in the past and have often been disappointed—but Kuoda exceeded our expectations in every way.
Kuoda travel took care of every last detail of our trip. Our agent, Nadia, was very friendly, enthusiastic, thorough, responsive and organized. They individualize based on your needs and desires. The guides were all caring, knowledgeable people. The accommodations were beautiful. I would let Kuoda plan any trip!
Kuoda took care of everything! No detail was left undone. Theresa was great to work with and planned a seamless intinerary. We were extremely well looked after for the entirety of the trip. The guides were wonderful as well. I highly recommend working with Kuoda to plan your next Peru or Latin American adventure.
Kuoda organized for us a 12 days trip to Bolivia including Santa Cruz. Cochabamba, Uyuni Salt Flats, Lake Titicaca and LA Paz. It was a family trip of 4 adults, one of them 70+, the others 40+. Kuoda was very fast and responsive with regard to the suggested trip schedule and our requested amendments. The whole trip was very smooth, all the drivers were great and all the guides were super nice, knowledgeable and exceeded our expectations. We could not have had a better experience in Bolivia.
This trip was amazing. Every detail was attended to and the itinerary was perfect for what we wanted. We experienced so much of Peru and learned a lot about its culture and history. Every staff member was professional, kind, and thoughtful. We cannot recommend Kuoda enough!
This was the second time Kuoda helped me with organizing a trip to Peru. And like the first time, everything was outstanding. Our group consisted of 5 people ranging in age from 30 to 70, all with different wishes. Isabel was able to incorporate all our wishes and created an itinerary that was perfect for the entire group. Communication was fast and questions (including questions during trip) were answered promptly. Our guides and drivers were wonderful. Special shoutout to Pilar for taking the best videos and photos of our group! This trip could not have run more smoothly. Hotels, food, transportation, and the entire Kuoda team were all outstanding. Thank you Kuoda for making this an unforgettable trip!
Kuoda Travel delivered a flawless family trip to Peru. The Amazon was unforgettable, our guides were top-notch. Knowledgeable, organized, and attentive. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The itinerary was perfectly paced and offered something for everyone in our family; there wasn’t a single day or stop that we didn’t enjoy. The hotels were unique and added to the overall experience. 100% would recommend Kuoda Travel.
Perfectly Planned, Deeply Memorable Cusco & Machu Picchu TripWhat stood out most was Kuoda’s…
What stood out most was Kuoda’s attention to detail. From small touches to big-picture planning, it was clear that they truly cared about creating the best possible experience for us. We never felt rushed, and every part of the trip felt thoughtfully curated.
If you’re dreaming of visiting Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu, I can’t imagine a better partner than Kuoda. They turned a bucket-list trip into a beautiful memory we’ll cherish forever.
Kuoda helped me plan the perfect trip for my family. Then the tour guides made the trip plan great. Kuoda took great care of us through out the whole tour.
We just took the trip of a lifetime to Peru with Kuoda in May/June 2025. It was a 16 days private tour with my partner and my friend. The experince with Kuoda was great from start to finish. I first contacted Kuoda late last year and was connected with their Peru expert Molly. Molly was super friendly and helpful, always responds to my email promtply and on-point. She designed the trip itinerary that fits our needs and interestes. She then booked all of the hotels, activities, tickets to Machu Picchu etc and communicated to us clearly. Working with her was a such a breeze!
A few days before the trip, Kuoda created a WhatsApp group for us, which includes their customer service manager as well as their dirctor, so we can easily communicate with them during the trip. We feel so pampered during our entire trip to the Amazon rainforest, Sacred Vally, Machu Picchu, Lake Titikaka and Lima. Everything was arranged and we did not have to worried about anything. Even on our traval days Kuoda prepared high-quality box lunch for us. Kuoda guides we've met are all ultimate professionals. They're very knowledgable of the history and culture of Peru, the flora and fauna of the land, pretty much everything there is to know about the places we visited. I want to send a special shout out to our guide David in Cusco area. All the hotels that Kuoda picked for us are wonderful. Especially the InkaTerra hotel in Aguas Callientes and Tambo del Inka in Urubamba.
I will definitely go back to Kuoda for my next South America trip.
Much Kudos to Kuoda - Wonderful Andean adventure in Peru
Peru's Machu Picchu was a bucket list trip for us and Kuoda has helped make it a seamless experience. Planning began 10 months prior with trip designer, Molly, who was highly responsive and helpful with building our custom itinerary that included Lima, Arequipa, Colca Canyon, Lake Titicaca, Machu Picchu, Cusco and the Sacred Valley.
When we finally travelled in May 2025, every detail was very well taken care of, with experiences and hotels that surpassed our expectations.
Throughout the 20-day trip, the Kuoda team remained in constant contact through a chat group and was helpful in sorting out any queries or minor hiccups.
For anyone looking for a travel team that can put in place all your quirky requests (ours was to include golf), Kuoda has our endorsement 100%! We especially loved how Kuoda incorporated sustainable, community-building aspects in their partner choices.
Bonus: when founder, Mery, popped in for a surprise meet at the end of our trip!
Can't wait to plan another South America / Patagonia trip with Kuoda - if only the flight distance was nearer!
We had an unforgettable 8-day adventure in Peru with Kuoda. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully curated and flawlessly executed. The trip struck a perfect balance between adventure and luxury, with breathtaking landscapes, rich history, incredible food, and truly wonderful people. Every experience felt unique and special, and the guides who accompanied us throughout made the journey even more meaningful.
Marina – From the very beginning, Marina was incredible. She worked closely with us to craft an itinerary that reflected everything we hoped for and more. Thanks to her careful planning and support, we felt confident and well-prepared every step of the way.
Lillian – Lillian was our warm and welcoming first impression of Peru. She greeted us at the airport with a big smile and a sign in hand—such a comforting sight after a long journey. Her bright, kind personality set the perfect tone for our trip.
Sue – Our culinary guide in Lima, Sue was a true expert on Peruvian cuisine (and so much more!). She made sure our dietary preferences were always considered, and her restaurant picks were absolutely top-notch. Her knowledge and passion made our food experiences unforgettable.
Jeremy – We spent five full days with Jeremy exploring Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu. By the end, he felt like part of the family. He brought so much warmth, humor, and patience to the trip—even when we were running late or a bit disorganized. His deep knowledge, especially of local plants, animals, and Incan history, enriched every moment. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer!
Sonia – Sonia led us on a Cusco food tour that was one of our favorite evenings of the trip. She introduced us to hidden local gems—from a street churro stand to a cozy coffee shop—and everything was delicious. She was so friendly and easy to be around. We loved our time with her.
Lucas – Lucas was always available over WhatsApp, ready to help with anything we needed throughout the trip. He also guided us to the airport on our final day and gave us a smooth and thoughtful send-off. We’re grateful for his behind-the-scenes support!
This trip was everything we hoped for and more. Thank you, Kuoda, for making it so seamless, inspiring, and joyful. We can’t wait to return.
