Lima, Cusco, and Machu Picchu Itineraries & Tours

The trip to Peru was fantastic. Zicasso’s travel specialist was very responsive as we planned the itinerary. The team on the ground in Lima provided a great overview of the food and culture. We spent more time with the team in Cusco, who traveled with us daily to historical sites, including Machu Picchu. The team was terrific.

Great trip. All tour guides were attentive and helpful. Our guide was with us for five days, including the train to Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail hike. All transfers to and from the airports were accommodated professionally. The only hiccup I can report is the hotels in Cusco and Lima on the way back. I think the four-star and three-star ratings for those were way overrated.

Overall: great trip!!!

We had excellent guides and hotels throughout our trip. Zicasso’s trip planner helped develop an itinerary that fit our interests perfectly. We enjoyed our time in the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, and Lima.

My adult daughter and I had the most wonderful trip planned by Zicasso's travel company. Their team was exceptional; educational, on time, and just a pleasure to be with. Our itinerary was just what we were looking for. From Lima to the Amazon Rainforest, Cusco, and ending with Machu Picchu, it was well planned and well executed. We have memories that will last us forever.

Our travel specialist was a pleasure to work with. She listened to our thoughts and improved our experience with her great knowledge of the country, cities, and historical sites we wanted to visit. The travel company exceeded our expectations on every level. Thank you to our specialist and the team she assembled. We now have fantastic memories that will last us forever!

We discovered our travel company through Zicasso and had an incredible experience planning and executing our trip to Peru. This was our first journey to South America and, since we don’t speak Spanish, we decided to work with a travel agent for this trip. Having planned all our travels around the world on our own, we were initially hesitant to entrust someone else with such an important task. However, our agent exceeded our expectations and made the entire process seamless and enjoyable.

From the very beginning – five months before our trip – our agent was a pleasure to work with. She was prompt, responsive, and attentive to our aspirations for the trip. After discussing the types of activities we wanted to include, she crafted a comprehensive itinerary filled with diverse and exciting options. Together, we refined the plans through a few iterations until we arrived at the perfect itinerary for our dream vacation.

Our two-week adventure in Peru was nothing short of amazing, taking us through the Amazon rainforest, the cultural heart of the Inca civilization in Cusco, the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu, the breathtaking Rainbow Mountain, the tranquil beauty of Lake Titicaca and the floating islands in Puno, and the vibrant coastlines of Lima and Huacachina, where we experienced sandboarding and a flight over the Nazca Lines.

Throughout the trip, our agent stayed in constant communication, providing detailed updates and guidance for each day’s activities. Every guide she arranged for us was a local expert with deep knowledge of the region’s history, architecture, and culture, which added immense value to our experience.

Even when we encountered a minor hiccup with one of the tours, our agent handled it promptly and professionally, resolving the issue without hesitation or resistance. Her dedication and attention to detail ensured our trip was smooth and stress-free.

Thanks to our agent and her incredible network of guides, we had a phenomenal experience in Peru. We highly recommend visiting this beautiful country and entrusting our tour company with your travel plans. Without a doubt, we would work with our agent for future adventures!

Zicasso's travel partner provided an excellent itinerary. The hotels and the meals were great. Our travel specialist was very responsive and knowledgeable. He understood our main concern was traveling with an 80-year-old woman fulfilling her bucket-list dream of visiting Machu Picchu, which she had seen as a little girl in National Geographic. The travel partner contracted with a local tour company in Peru that did a phenomenal job.
