Travel to Peru with Kuoda

★★★★★ | Nancy L. | October 2024

We have travelled to many parts of the world in various modes but our recent experience to Peru with Kuoda was without doubt the best experience we have had. The team’s approach to customer service is unsurpassed. Even if a minor issue is noted, their response and follow up is immediate and on a five star level. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is planning a trip to Peru or other South American locations. Our sincere thanks to all members of the Kuoda team for making possible such an incredible journey!

A perfect vacation to Peru made all possible by Kuoda

★★★★★ | Ohmar W. | October 2024

We have a great experience with Kuoda for our 2 weeks vacation to Peru. One of the friends recommended Kuoda when we were looking to arrange a trip to Peru. The process from customizing our trip to the visit is seamless, perfectly arranged, delicious food, beautiful hotels, very knowledgeable and efficient guides….everything is perfect and stress free travel… we went to lake Titicaca and the train ride was a fun and great experience. One of my favorites of the trip is hiking up to Taquile island and have a delicious lunch with the beautiful background of lake Titicaca, listening to the local live music and dance…Unforgettable experience… thank you Kuoda!! Will definitely use Kuoda again for our next trip when visiting South America.

Unforgettable trip to Peru

★★★★★ | Kristina B. | October 2024

I can’t recommend Kuoda highly enough! From the moment we arrived in Peru, the team made us feel incredibly welcome and safe. Our private drivers were professional and attentive, allowing us to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery.
The hotels we stayed in were beautiful, and the included meals were exceptional—truly a culinary delight. Peru is a magical place, made even more special by my unforgettable proposal at Rainbow Mountain. Kuoda’s thoughtful gifts of handmade clay cups and textiles from local artists added a personal touch that we deeply appreciated.
A special shout-out to our guide in Cusco, Santiago, whose passion for the culture enriched our experience, and to Isabel for expertly planning our trip. If you’re traveling to Peru for the first time, Kuoda is the way to go!

Incredible experience in Peru with Kuoda

★★★★★ | Norbert | September 2024

Kuoda provided a first class experience from start to finish for our family of five. We spent five days in Cusco, Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu. The staff were incredibly helpful and our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to be with. The hotels were great and the included meals were incredible. The entire trip was well planned and well organized and tailored to our needs. Best experience we have ever had with a travel agency. We give them our highest recommendation.

Here is why I strongly recommend Kuoda Travel

I have travelled a good deal to many different destinations, I always arranged everything myself but I decided to use a. travel agency for trip to Machu Pichu. I just used the internet to look up a number of agencies, mainly well known American agencies. but checked out Kouda Travel. After speaking with Isabel, the helpful contact person I decided that a company in Cusco would likely have good contacts and superior knowledge. Fortunately, I was more than right. Our trip exceeded our expectations due to the professional, yet friendly down to earth guides. From the moment we were met at Lima airport for the next 9 days, it was all stress free, educational and very comfortable.

I noticed in the hotels we were getting best rooms, and staff at each seemed to know who we were. The owner, Mary, undoubtedly after 20 years of running a company in her hometown was well respected by those running the hotels and restaurants, all to our advantage.

Each day had great tours and food. All the various entrance tickets, boarding passes for flights etc were taken care of by Kouda. Basically, we woke up, met helpful guides, such as Lilian, special thanks to Bartolome who knew so much abut Caral, and gave us great insights on the long drive there and back.

Rosabeth was outstanding guide as well, she knows the Sacred Valley and Machu Pichu very well. It’s a beautiful area but having Rosa as our guild enhanced it. (Getting what had to be the best room at Sanctuary Lodge was a great as well) Kenedy was a calming influence who made certain we were on time and comfortable, and, like all the guides had excellent insights. I cannot recall the drivers names but they definitely were good as roads narrow an din cities traffic terrible.

I had no concept of what would be a reasonable price for this tour for 2. I just said OK, let’s trust them. But we ran into a 20 person tour with a nationally recognized company at tSanctuary Lodge and compared notes. Turned out Kuoda was about a $1000 dollars less per person and we rode the private train to Macho Pichu unlike that tour (If. you go-the train is a must-, great scenery, food, beverages, music and fun.

Bottom line- I strongly recommend Kudoa Travel.. Go local, its the best way.

Amazing Kuoda & Amazing Peru

★★★★★ | Michelle L. | September 2024

“Just wanted to say “Thank you” for putting such a magical trip together for us. We loved all of it! Karina was such a wonderful guide and was so knowledgeable besides being fun, friendly, and easy to be around. Juan was an amazing driver in and round the narrow streets of Ollantaytambo and the busy streets of Cusco! All the people that helped us out, Juan Carlos, Kenedy and Lilian in Cusco were so warm, friendly, helpful and welcoming!
We loved the Peruvian food and had fun at the Pachamanca and cooking class.
We will definitely recommend Kuoda to our friends who may have plans to travel to South America. ”

Highly recommend to anyone visiting Peru!

We all had the most amazing time in Peru. The whole itinerary was perfect – I loved how we had full but not packed days so we always had time in the late afternoons to enjoy the hotel, town, and have a nice relaxing dinner. The most memorable parts of the trip were the special touches such as lunch and horseback riding at the ranch (this was favorite activity of the kids), the most special “picnic” (I put it in quotes because it was the most fantastic fresh meal!), the “mom” weavers, and ofcourse the beautiful children at the school. Ofcourse, seeing the all sights was breathtaking!
Nick was the most amazing tour guide – he was so fun for the kids (not sure how we will finish all the candy and treats he sent us home with!) and so informative with all the history he was sharing. Socrates and Edgar were also fantastic. Edgar was extremely helpful on the last day when our flight to Lima was cancelled and helped us rebook for the next flight.
Thank you again so much for giving us the most memorable time in Peru!

Phenomenal Peruvian experience with Kuoda!

Jenny is an accomplished cook and is already studying the recipes you sent as she is planning to prepare several Peruvian dishes for a group of our friends.
I am glad that you have spoken with Edgar as the trip did indeed exceed our very high expectations. We were impressed by and enjoyed the company of all four guides who looked after us – they are surely the best of the best. The way in which they sought to learn about our interests and adapted activities accordingly was impressive, as was the communication between them.

Nadia, we appreciate working with you to plan the trip and are delighted that we had the chance to meet you in person in Cusco.
