Brad L Travel Review

Kuoda exceeded every expectation.

★★★★★ | Brad L. | July 2025

Choosing Kuoda was one of the best travel decisions I’ve made in years.
I was skeptical of their 5-star reviews — nothing’s that perfect, right? But after 10 days in Peru with my wife and another couple, I get it. From Lima to Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu, every detail was flawlessly handled.
Our guides and drivers were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely taken care of. We especially loved Briggs, our driver in Cusco, and Pilar, our amazing guide in Cuzco and the Sacred Valley. Thanks to them, we relaxed, learned, and connected meaningfully with locals — no stress, no guesswork.

Kuoda curated unforgettable, authentic experiences. We had a private pottery class at Cerámicas Seminario with Pablo Seminario and Marilú Behar, a VIP lunch at UNU Restaurant with a Peruvian Paso horse demonstration, and a visit to the Quechua village of Umasbamba to meet women weavers preserving ancient Incan techniques.

Everything felt personal, not touristy. Marina, our travel planner, was incredibly helpful and patient while customizing our itinerary. Kuoda didn’t just book a trip — they crafted a journey just for us.

Highly recommended.

Ben A Travel Review

Thank you and all everyone who made our trip possible

★★★★★ | Ben A. | July 2025

Thank you and all everyone who made our trip possible. We had so much fun and enjoyed every aspect of it. It was an adventure and we can’t stop talking about our trip to friends. Peru, the people, the food, the landscape, the archaeology, just so amazing, wonderful.

Overall we had such a good time, this was a big trip for us and it absolutely lived up to expectations. I am so glad that Kuoda helped us. At every step you were all so thoughtful and the activities you recommended felt like we had a really special experience. I feel like we got to see a lot of Peru, but would love to see more.

Thanks so much for such a wonderful experience.

Just Travel Review

Highly recommend using Kuoda for Peru-they are the best!

★★★★★ | Just | July 2025

We used Kuoda to plan our travel to Machu Picchu with all the sites in between. I highly recommend this company. They give white glove service! They made it easy to navigate everywhere we went and the hotels and private lunches and private transfers made us feel like royalty. All of our guides and drivers were great, but we spent the most time with Pilar and Briggs. They were wonderful! Kuoda and its guides know so much about the area and its history and we learned a lot. It’s hard for me to think of how it could have been better!

Phillip D Travel Review

Would highly recommend

★★★★★ | Phillip D. | July 2025

We booked a private tour through Kuoda, and though it was expensive, we think we got a lot a value out of the service they provided. Our guide Julio was a font of knowledge about Machu Picchu and the Incas, and took us to out-of-the-way and little known places (such as a beautiful countryside restaurant where we had an amazing meal) that we never could have found on our own. He was also a pretty darn good photographer as well! Which really helped us preserve some of the amazing memories of Machu Picchu without having to resort to a selfie stick! He also introduced us to some highly talented indigenous craftspeople who explained their techniques for producing all the lovely wool garments you see in Peru. Would highly recommend.

Danellelane Travel Review

Multi-generational trip to Peru

★★★★★ | Danellelane | July 2025

Multi-generational trip to Peru with 8 people. Kuoda did a great job arranging the entire trip – wouldn’t have done it any other way. Was so nice to not have to make any decisions – just show up and they took it from there. Hotels and restaurants they chose were fantastic. Our Cusco guide, Dimas was a stand-out. Very professional, knowledgeable and personable. And thank heaven for our driver, Wilbur. He effortlessly navigated challenging driving, tight parking, and was always right where we needed him to be. We went to Machu Picchu two days in a row and got views both days. Glad we did two days in the event there was cloud cover one of the days. The culinary tour Kuoda arranged in Lima made for a good mix of activities. Owner, Mery, visited us at our amazing Cusco hotel, Aranwa Cusco Boutique Hotel, giving us a chance to thank her in person for the thoughtful attention she gave planning to our family’s trip.

Richard L Travel Review

Kuoda provided a wonderful Machu Picchu trip

★★★★★ | Richard L. | July 2025

There were eight of us. We had a wonderful time. We told Kuoda where we wanted to go and do and they provided us an itinerary. We requested a few changes and they readily adopted our changes.

When we arrived in Lima, they me us at the airport and stared our tour right away. They took very good care of us and eliminated any worries we might have had about. We stayed in great hotels and dined at wonderful restaurants. Our guide through Machu Picchu was wonderful: he new the park and its history. He led us through the park at our pace. Dimas did a great job for us. He also was our guide through Cusco. Bart led our tour of central LIma.

Kuoda was easy to plan with and took great care of us in executing the plan. Great folks to work with.

Tulika G Travel Review

Thank you for checking in, We had a great trip!

★★★★★ | Tulika G. | July 2025

The children loved the rainforest! I appreciated all the kid friendly programs and our guide Empe was fantastic with my daughter!

My husband and I loved the Sacred Valley. Tambo del Inka was by far my favorite hotel – so lovely! We really enjoyed the ruins here and making our own spirits! Machu Picchu was of course gorgeous and we’re so happy we got to go and had such fantastic views! If we could do it again, I would’ve preferred circuit two and circuit three as opposed to circuit two and circuit one, as we were unable to climb Machu Picchu Mountain with the children.

Having the guides and drivers made such a big difference for us. The only issue we had was in Lima – for some reason our flight ended up departing and arriving over an hour later than the itinerary which we didn’t catch at first. When we landed at Lima, no one was there to meet us and there was a bit of a delay getting on the road so we had a quick stop at the catacombs and then just dinner.

Overall, I’m very picky with travel, and this was one of the best experiences we’ve had in terms of coordination and itinerary! Thanks for making it a memorable one.

We are hoping to make it to Patagonia when the children are a little older so I will be in touch with you guys again!

Shethman Travel Review

Family trip to the Sacred Valley

★★★★★ | Shethman | July 2025

Kuoda absolutely amazing! karina, our guide, was awesome and the logistics were handled flawlessly. They preselected vegetarian friendly spots for lunch and dinner and the food was top-notch.
I will definitely use Kuoda again!

Deb F Travel Review

A wonderul trip to Peru with Kuoda

★★★★★ | Deb F. | June 2025

Isabel @ Kuoda developed a wonderful itinerary that was perfect for our interests and time limitations. All of the Kuoda representatives were professional and informative, but our primary driver (Brit) and guide (Edward) were with us for many days and they were especially wonderful in terms of their skills, knowledge, helpfulness and pleasant personalities. Kuoda made sure all of the details were handled. The meals that were included and accommodations were great. It was a wonderful travel and cultural experience.

Summer Travel Review

Beauty & Wilderness in Bolivia

★★★★★ | Summer. | June 2025

We chose Kuoda Travel, a Peruvian based travel agency based on YouTube videos & positive testimonies. And boy we were not disappointed at the 6 day trip they customised for us in Bolivia!

So much wilderness, isolation, wonder & awe seeing the real Bolivia travelling by 4 wheel drive from la Paz to Uyuni across the Salar de Uyuni, to the Eduardo Abaroa Reserve, Quetena, Tupiza & crossing at Villazon into Argentina.
Amazing views of deserts, lagoons, volcanoes, deserted mining villages, lots of animals & birds & very few other people! And feeling so very safe with our guide & driver.

Kuoda thought of every detail to ensure our journey was full of interesting stops, good food & amazing landscapes & wildlife! Thank you Kuoda.

Porametr L travel review

Another Incredible Journey with Kuoda – Argentine Patagonia

★★★★★ | Porametr L. | June 2025

It was almost two weeks since we have been back to my country. Since landing in Thailand, I have been working on catching up my routine job without cherishing time in Peru…..until now.

I would like to thank you everyone in Kuoda, especially you for the flawlessly trip arrangements. All personnel, driver and schedule are perfect. We have an unforgettable time since starting the trip until leaving. I find it hard for my feeling to surpass the Peru trip.

If I have a chance to visit the region again, I will definitely contact you. Sorry for my delayed gratitude, those feelings are sunk in already. Really good memory!

Thank you again, until next time,

Win

Omar S review

Another Incredible Journey with Kuoda – Argentine Patagonia

★★★★★ | Omar S. | June 2025

After an amazing experience with Kuoda in Peru a few years ago, we had no choice but to travel with them again for our Patagonian adventure – and once again, they delivered a truly unforgettable journey.

Everything was expertly personalized, from the vibrant and historically rich streets of Buenos Aires to the natural gems of Bariloche, where we kayaked, hiked, and watched condors soar overhead. Witnessing the breathtaking Perito Moreno Glacier in El Calafate and its dramatic ice calving was another unforgettable highlight.

If you’re a foodie who enjoys meats, wines, and desserts, Argentina is a gastronomic must-do!

Kuoda’s VIP service, seamless planning, and thoughtful touches made every moment feel effortless and exceptional. We felt safe and deeply connected with each of our guides, who went out of their way to make us feel special. We’re already looking forward to our next journey with Kuoda!

Jing H review

Trip of a lifetime to Peru with Kuoda

★★★★★ | Jing H. | May 2025

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.

Kuoda Travel Reviews Feb 2025-1

An amazing 8 days in Peru

★★★★★ | Kendyll H. | May 2025

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.

Lisa T review

Bucket list trip!!!

★★★★★ | Lisa T. | May 2025

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.

Incredible trip!!!

★★★★★ | Sarah L. | May 2025

Thank you so much for all your work putting together such an incredible trip for Colton and I. We had a wonderful time exploring Peru–a perfect mixture of adventure, nature, history, culture, and relaxation. All of our guides were amazing and made the trip go so smoothly. I’ve already given your name to several of my colleagues at work, too!
Thanks again for making our 10-year anniversary trip so special!

Robyn P review

An Amazing Tailored Experience

★★★★★ | Robyn P. | May 2025

I chose this agency for my trip due to the ability to tailor our activities to our interests and to ensure a stress free trip. Kuoda was a perfect fit for what we wanted and service was exceptional. It exceeded our expectations with the attention to detail, from the birthday cake in the Amazon Rainforest, to adjusting schedules at the last minute. Our guides were knowledgable about each of our sites and added such depth to our experience. At one point our guide waiting in line for us while encouraging us to explore the city. He had the time for us to return spot on! We also were able to adjust our schedule when one day we were unable to do activities as planned due to altitude sickness. While there are certainly cheaper options, they will not offer this type of individualized service. I will definitely use this agency again

Maria G review

Magical place to visit

★★★★★ | Maria G. | May 2025

Kuoda Travel was wonderful from start to finish. The guide Edwin and driver Daniela were AWESOME!! This travel company is top notch. We had a fabulous trip. Isabel booked our trip and she did a fantastic job. Peru was beautiful place to visit.

Al B review

A Fantastic Peruvian Adventure

★★★★★ | Al B. | May 2025

Our entire experience with Kuoda was over the top. That started with my first phone conversation with you a few months ago. Sarah and I feel you folks provided not only a well planned itinerary and support but, followed up every day with us to make sure we were having a great time. Our guides were all so very knowledgeable about every aspect of what we were touring and we soon began to feel like we were traveling with a good friend. I just can’t say enough good things about them! We also truly enjoyed the places we stayed and only wish we could have spent more time at some of them. The service at all the hotels was excellent.

We enjoyed trying the many Peruvian dishes including the Pachamanaca in Ollyantantambo to having Alpaca in Arequipa. Then there was our surprise food tour in Cusco with the two sweet young ladies that took us to some very interesting places we would have never tried.

In all, I give you and all of the Kuoda team a 12 out of a 1-10 scale. A perfect experience and a great value.

We have been on many different trips and this one we believe was our most adventurous and will be sharing our experience with our friends. I certainly will highly recommend you to them so that they too can have perfect Peruvian adventure.

Thank you and a big thank you to all of the Kuoda staff for making sure Al and Sarah had a fantastic adventure.

Virna B review

Simply exceptional!

★★★★★ | Virna B. | May 2025

It was the first time I decided to organize a trip to South America and although normally I prefer to organize everything myself, this time I decided to rely on a local agency. Kuoda could not have been the best choice, right away my contact, Molly, answered all my requests by planning a trip between Peru and Bolivia just perfect. To my change of plans a few weeks before leaving they reacted with extreme speed and professionalism responding again to all my requests. Once arrived I found the same professionalism in the different guides and drivers always available, attentive and prepared. The hotels and restaurants all top notch. They followed me for over two weeks organizing a whatsapp group to be always in touch. Everything worked perfectly and my trip was simply unforgettable. If I had high expectations, Kuoda exceeded them and I think I will rely on them for every other trip to that continent. Absolutely recommended.

Maya M travel review

Trip of a lifetime

★★★★★ | Maya M. | April 2025

We had an amazing time and were really impressed with our tour guides and drivers.
We are almost home, and while we’re sad to leave such a wonderful place, we are glad to head back to sea level again 😆

Thank you especially for all the hard work you put into planning this trip for us.

Joy O travel review

Trip of a lifetime

★★★★★ | Joy O. | April 2025

We had a fantastic trip. My husband has described it as epic.
I have nothing but good things to say about our time in Peru. It was a trip of a lifetime.
I cannot say enough good things about our guide, Joaquin. He was absolutely the perfect guide for us. He was so knowledgeable, patient, caring, and fun to be with. We have never had a personal guide and driver before, and it felt a bit daunting. But in the end, both Joaquin and Edwin were perfect companions for us. Thank you to whoever chose Joaquin for us!

When I get a few minutes, I’d be happy to do a Trip Advisor review.

Ali K travel review

Amazing – From planning to boots on the ground!

★★★★★ | Ali K. | March 2025

I am an avid travel photographer and my wife and I took nearly a year to finally plan a trip to Peru. After doing some research we came to the conclusion that Kudos would be the best travel agency to work with. They were super responsive and planned the trip across the whole of Peru based on my photography angle. We finally made the trip in December 2024 and it was simply amazing. We visited Lima, Nazca, Ica, Arequipa, Cusco, Moras, Moray, The Secret Valley, Machu Picchu and the Amazon Jungle in Iquitos. At every location we had English speaking guides as I and my wife do not speak Spanish. The was followed to the dot with amazing experiences and boutique hotels. The trip was expensive but it certainly was value for money. We had a wonderful experience with Kuoda throughout the 21 day journey. We would highly recommend Kuoda.

Scott K travel review

Amazing personalized bucket list Machu Picchu trip

★★★★★ | Scott K. | March 2025

Our experience with Kuoda was outstanding! From beginning to end, it was first class. They customized a 4 day trip to Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu for us, allowing us to leave our cruise ship in Lima and catch back up with them in Manta, Ecuador 4 days later. Wonderful travel agent that accommodated our every request, fantastic guides. The food was amazing, the accomodations top notch. The personal touches really made it special, from the Whatsapp group set up for our trip to makes us feel in touch and up to date on what was happening, to the surprise visit from the local Supervisor and Owner who met us at our hotel is Cusco. I can not recommend Kuoda enough……if you are planning a trip to South America you need to contact them!

Jason S review

Loved our trip to Peru

★★★★★ | Jason S. | March 2025

We absolutely loved our trip to Peru and felt very well cared for from Kuoda. All of the guides, drivers, support staff, etc were very responsive and helpful for this trip.
The food at Huaca Pucllana was the best, with great views of pre-incan ruins. Lucuma is our new favorite desert fruit!
Lunch was good in Pisac, loved the little town of Pisac. We did love all of the colors, and the “vibe” of the town. Hotel Casa Andina is a gorgeous hotel. Room was perfect for the three of us. The bottle feeding of baby Alpaca’s was probably one of the trips highlights for my wife and daughter!

The concentric terraces of Moray are a site to behold. The salt pans unique to see. We were hesitant with the “locally-prepared” lunch, but this apparently was meant to be our surprise, as this was a 5 star gourmet dinning experience! The note about keeping an open mind regarding modern plumbing, dirt roads, etc. was not warranted, as all of the facilities were not bad at all.

Definitely the highlight visit Machu Picchu. Got lucky with the weather.

Tipon was awesome, so amazing the ingenuity of the Incan. The church was surprising, box lunch was good.

Overall, it was perfect with little we would have changed. Would highly recommend Kuoda to anyone traveling to Peru. Thank you.

Ellen review

Quito, the Andes and Galápagos Islands.

★★★★★ | Ellen | March 2025

Isabel at Kuoda tours nos preparó un excelente itinerario en Ecuador, desde explorar Quito, el mercado de Otavalo, el bosque nublado de Mindo y los Andes hasta elegir el barco perfecto para nosotros, La Pinta, para el crucero por Galápagos. El conductor de Kuoda y el guía turístico eran muy bien informados, siempre a tiempo y extremadamente atento y servicial. De hecho, esta fue una de las mejores vacaciones que hemos tomado!

Julie S review

Kuoda = 5 Star Travel Expereince

★★★★★ | Julie S. | March 2025

This is the 2nd time we have travelled with Kuoda, (first Peru, now Ecuador/Galapagos). If you want a locally owned, in-country-knowledgeable, deeply service oriented agency…this is the one! From the truly custom planning to the concierge execution, to the outstanding tour guides, Kuoda delivers an exceptional end to end travel experience. Our Kuoda planning supervisor was a great listener and planned an itinerary that worked for our personal interests and comfort needs. The in country team were 100% available and reliably met us at airports, hotels, and boat transfers. Our tour guides were enthusiastic, and expert in the history, culture of Ecuador and the Galapagos. Whether adventure hiking or doing a cooking class, we loved our local leaders. Most impressive is Kuoda’s flexibility and willingness to adapt if need be on the ground. I appreciate an agency who really DELIVERS on the service values described on their website. I will choose Kuoda again and again for any South American travel! Thank you!

Elana review

The trip and Kuoda! Perfectly planned and executed with joy

★★★★★ | Elana B. | March 2025

I don’t think its possible for me to pick what I loved most. As I tried to make a list, it was everything on the itinerary. Of course, the highlights were snorkeling with sea turtles, the giant tortoises, an albatross in flight, and the blue footed boobies. The cruise was top-notch – staff, guides, and accommodations. The Quito experience was fabulous.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the trip and Kuoda! Perfectly planned and executed with joy.

I look forward to future adventures with Kuoda!

Erica and Paul B review

wonderful and memorable trip

★★★★★ | Erica & Paul B. | February 2025

Firstly I wanted to thank you both on behalf of myself and my husband Paul for a truly wonderful and memorable trip.
We have to mention our fantastic guide Pablo and driver Eric. Pablo was great, so knowledgeable but not only that he really looked after us all. Eric too.
Peter on the Galapagos was also marvellous, again knowledgeable, also such fun and really looked after us ! Natalee on one of our trips also deserves a mention as she was so good.
Can’t quite believe what we saw and did. It was a real adventure and will leave lifelong memories.
Thank you again
Erica & Paul

Pooja D review

Beautifully crafted travel

★★★★★ | Pooja D. | February 2025

We found Kuoda Travel through a personal recommendation, and from the initial email communication, we felt so well taken care of. Marina created a beautiful itinerary for us, accommodating for our various kids ages and interests. It had such a family feel while traveling as well, as we were able to go to some homes and smaller restaurants for our meals and experiences. Peru is a beautiful country everyone should visit at some point, and we are so grateful to have worked with Kuoda, and our amazing guides throughout our travels. Highly recommend!! One of our whole families favorite trips!

Kuoda Travel Reviews Feb 2025-1

Trip of a lifetime

★★★★★ | Ines J. | February 2025

I recently went to Peru with my husband to celebrate my birthday in a trip organized by Kuoda travel. Everything was planned to perfection, I was escorted from door to door at all times. The hotels were exquisite, the food was delicious. Our guides were so knowledgeable and accommodating especially Boris which we spent the time in Cusco, sacred valley and Machu Pishu and Jose Luis in Puno and lake Titicaca. They left special gifts in every hotel welcoming us and to celebrate my birthday. Also the drivers were so nice. This was truly a trip of a lifetime and I can’t wait to go back to Peru with Kuoda. They even accommodated a delay in my travel a managed to have a brief tour of Lima prior to our departure with Renato. Thank you!

Kuoda Travel Reviews Feb 2025-2

Peru Trip

★★★★★ | Kelly | February 2025

My husband and I went to Peru for our honeymoon. This was our first time visiting Peru and using a traveling company. Kuoda made our experience so incredibly easy and seamless as they planned and coordinated every detail for us. Having our trip coordinated allowed us to be fully present and appreciate every aspect of our journey. The founder and CEO of Kuoda, Mery Calderón met us at the airport to say goodbye and gifted us with two handmade mugs. We cherish our coffee mugs as they remind us of our epic trip. One of the mugs broke and I offered to pay for a replacement. Months later we received a new mug delivered all the way from Peru! Who does that? Her kind gesture speaks volumes to the heart of her company—they truly care about their customers and treat them as family.
I have kept in touch with Mery and plan to visit again someday. Kuoda far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend their services!

Kuoda Travel Reviews

First Solo trip for middle age woman.

★★★★★ | Kelly S. | February 2025

I had 2 fantastic weeks without an ounce of stress . I never even opened a door for myself! Every driver and guide was intelligent, kind,well mannered,spoke perfect English and more than willing to please any request. The country and people are beautiful.

Unforgettable trip to Peru

★★★★★ | Neil and Leslie | January 2025

We consider this trip one of our best, and our thanks to you for that. We enjoyed every part of the itinerary, and were fortunate enough to have very good weather, no flight delays or lost luggage, and good health throughout the trip. We learned so much, and gained a better understanding of many things about Peru. We were always treated kindly and respectfully, and hope that we were perceived in the same way.

We would certainly recommend you and Kuoda to anyone we know who might be considering a trip to Peru.

Kuoda Travel Reviews Norbert

Incredible experience in Peru with Kuoda

★★★★★ | Syamaprasad B. | January 2025

First of all I must say that my family and I were again blown away by the arrangement done by Kuoda. We did not face a single difficulty in the whole tour. Everything was so well arranged, your company always kept in touch to assure us that everything was going well, and all the local tours booked by you were very thought out. All the tour guides and drivers too were great too. I am highly impressed with Kuoda and I will always recommend your company for anyone travelling to South America.

Kuoda Travel Reviews Michelle

It was a wonderful trip

★★★★★ | Jeff P. | January 2025

Thanks for your planning and assistance. The Kuoda portion of our trip was well designed, comprehensive and enjoyed by all.

Kuoda Travel Reviews Zosa

Highly recommend to anyone visiting Peru!

★★★★★ | Lynn | January 2025

Revisiting Peru 35 years later as hikers in our 60s, we decided to choose Kuoda.
They customized an amazing trek to Choquequirao, also including tours of Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, and
Cusco sites.

Kuoda expertly organized everything from start to finish. This included hotels, museum and site tickets, transportation, hands on experiences with coffee making,a distillery and even an incredible pachamanca.
The staff and guides were helpful and knowledgeable.

I cannot say enough about the awesome cooks and the delicious meals prepared on the trail.
Having previously traveled bare-bones budget with a guide book in hand, this was a big change. However. the higher cost was well worth this high quality and memorable adventure. Thank you Kuoda!

Phenomenal Peruvian experience with Kuoda!

★★★★★ | Babs P. | January, 2025

Here is some feedback on our family’s adventure. Overall we had an incredible time and a memorable experience. Here are some specific areas of input:

HOTELS: The accommodations were all beautiful and the staff were excellent.

MEALS: The prepaid meals were stunning and a lovely highlight. A particular highlight was the lunch after seeing the salt pans. That was really a special meal.Thank you!

EXCURSIONS: All the sites we visited were wonderful. Our family loved the ceramics class and the engaging couple who own the place.

GUIDES: The man who met us at the airport the first night was charming and friendly. A welcome greeting.

MARIA in Lima: She was outstanding! Her energy and ability to share information in an engaging way really lit up our group. She had a great balance of sharing history, humor and current day facts that wove everything together in a really interesting way.

Ricky K review

We all enjoyed it immensely

★★★★★ | Ricky K. | January, 2025

The trip overall was great!
The itinerary you put together worked very well; the hotels were all good.
Edwin particularly, but all of the guides were absolutely fantastic – extremely knowledgeable and flexible……
And I’ve already reached out to Mery, asking about options for next year
