Great experience with Perulifexperience

We dealt with Peru Experience before and during our trip. It was a great experience especially dealing with Rolli. They were patient in helping us design our trip. Rolli was very patient and professional in helping book all the tours and also with recommendations and help during the trip.

During our trip all transportation, guides, stays and tours were as explained and exceeded all our expectations. The whole team made sure we had the best experience . . .

A fabulous adventure

Our guide, Rolly Carrasco, was extraordinary. Fluent in both English and Spanish, Rolly’s incredible knowledge, professionalism and attention to every detail was unsurpassed. He enthusiastically shared historical and cultural information in an engaging manner and encouraged questions and group participation. Rolly went above and beyond expectations to make our tour absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for an authentic and enriching sightseeing experience, I highly recommend Peru Life & Experience Tours.
