GUEST TRAVEL REVIEWS

Urpi at Kuoda worked with our group for several months and several iterations to design the perfect trip to Cusco, Sacred Valley and the Inca trail trek to Machu Picchu. The personnel on the ground were super helpful and efficient; willing to accommodate our requests and always flexible to make our trip super memorable.

Highly recommended for custom luxury travel in Peru!

We traveled to Puerto Maldonado, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and Lima on a 154 day tour in May/June of this year with Kuoda Travel. We chose Kuoda based on excellent reviews on Tripadvisor. Jesus Ramos listened to our interests and gave us an excellent itinerary keeping in mind our interests (ex: hiking in Wayna Picchu, food tour in Lima, visit a local chef in Maray, Hike in Ollantaytambo). We were pleased with the all the guides and drivers in all the locations.

We loved the special touch of Kuoda owner, Mery Caledron and Liset (who was behind all the bookings) to personally come and visit us when we were in Cusco. However, we do feel that few of the guides rushed us thru the day (ex; we had a wonderful time with our guide who was with us from Sacred valley, Machu Pichu and Cusco journey. He was wonderful all the time till we reached Cusco. On our day of Cusco visit (last day with this particular guide), he rushed us thru the day which annoyed me a bit but he was very good rest of the tour. With the same guide, even though he was lovely, we had to stop him many times (during the entire course of the visit) to slow down and let us take pictures.

Off course he was very happy to take pictures when we tell him, but the inherent rush was at times annoying. Similarly in Lima, we felt rushed near the end of our day tour in the morning. Also the hotel in Lima (Dazzler hotel) on the 1st night was very disappointing. We were told that the hotel was 4 stars but the room we were given was worse than a Holiday Inn (I must say that their breakfast had lot of variety and way better than Holiday Inn but the room itself was very disappointing). We did not have similar issue with hotel rooms anywhere else. All other places had excellent rooms and service. I feel Kuoda took our complaint (after the 1st night at Dazzler, I emailed them) seriously and made sure that we do not have similar issue again. I will recommend Kuoda to anyone in a heart beat.

If you’re looking for a personalized tour of Peru, look no further than Kuoda Travel. My family and I just returned from a 10 day trip and we can’t say enough good things about Kuoda. Kuoda anticipated and managed our every need, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our trip rather than having to spend time worrying about arrangements. The itinerary Kuoda created for us matched the interests we shared with our trip planner, their hotel recommendations were perfect, and our tour guides and drivers were exceptional. Kuoda and our tour guide even modified our itinerary when I had to spend the day in the hotel due to altitude sickness (it happens…). Thank you Kuoda for an amazing trip that our family will never forget!

My wife and I, and another couple just returned from a trip to Peru organized by Kuoda.
I have to say Kuoda is a first class tour company,
To start, they tailored the trip around us, not an off the shelf trip. At every step of our vacation, there was a Kuoda employee to guide and help us, a very personal touch.
All the guides, were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very sincere. But I am compelled to mention one of our guides “ Dimas”, this man was truly fantastic, he made us feel like family.
My wife and I are seasoned travellers, because of Kuoda I can honestly say this was my most memorable trip.
I would book with Kuoda again in a nano second.
Using anyone else would in my opinion be a mistake.

We just completed 3 weeks in Peru with Kuoda. Perfection. Urpi’s planning was terrific. Each recommendation was correct. Every question and concern taken care of.

The guides at each location (Cusco, Lake Titicaca, Arequipa, Lima, Nazca) were knowledgeable, helpful, caring and responsive to our needs. Each hotel was superb. Every day was an adventure. There was not one aspect of this trip with which I can find fault. I can see no reason anyone would travel to Peru and not use Kuoda.
