Perfect Tour Experience

5.00Our experience was absolutely perfect! The tour exceeded all our expectations. Alvaro, our tour guide, and Carlos, our driver, were exceptional. They were incredibly considerate, timely, and went out of their way to make the tour enjoyable and comfortable for everyone. I had used this company 10 years ago, and I came back because of the amazing experience I had back then. I’m happy to say that they have maintained, if not exceeded, their high standards. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

5.00We came across "Cultural Immersion" during our research for a planned trip to Peru in July 2024. We were lucky to do so, as the office team led by Natasja was there throughout the planning process, and answered the questions we had in a timely fashion-typically within a day. We decided upon the "Incan Wonders- Best Short Peru Visit," which included visits to Umasbamba, Maras, kayaking on Waypo Lake, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu, Cusco & Lima. Our guide Alvaro & driver Carlos where fantastic throughout the tour. Alvaro was an encyclopedia of knowledge, and was kind, flexible & made our trip truly memorable. Carlos was timely, considerate & efficient, everything a driver should be, especially in a different country/continent. The transfers between areas were well-timed & thought through, while the restaurant selections where awesome- truly reflecting the uniqueness of Peruvian cuisine. Overall, the experience of the trip was awesome, and we would highly recommend Cultural Immersion. Thank you to the team!
A memorable experience

5.00It’s hard to pinpoint one specific part of the trip as our favorite because our tour guide Alvaro made everything very memorable. His experience and knowledge of each local made the entire experience great! The experience from Cuzco city to Machu Picchu itself was outstanding highly recommended!
Wonderful experience.

5.00This was one of the best coordinated vacations I’ve ever been on. There was little to no time waiting around to do things! You also got to see Peru and what it has to offer from a more personal perspective. As well, the staff are extremely friendly and understanding on the change in culture and environment! Strongly recommend!
We highly recommend this tour if you want to visit Cusco and Machu Picchu

5.00We recently returned from this tour and had a perfect experience. We were on a girls trip for a bucket list adventure to Machu Picchu. Everything went as planned and we could not have been happier. Starting with the booking with Grethel to the sightseeing with Alvaro, it was a dream trip. Our transfer drivers were always prompt, the hotels were very nice and we learned so much on all our tours. We had triple accommodations and we were happily surprised to have 3 beds in all our hotels. I will recommend Cultural Immersion Travel to anyone I know that will be visiting Peru!
Cultural Immersion Is Awesome!

5.00Highly recommend Cultural Immersions. Our coordinator Grethel was great from the moment we made reservations. She answers questions/messages in a timely manner. This was our first time traveling across a country to multiple states (Lima, Cusco, Ollyatombo, Machu Picchu) with multiple modes of transportation (plane, train and car) and staying in multiple hotels (Mariel in Lima, Illa in Cusco, Ferre in Machu Picchu). It was well organized and everything went smoothly. The hotels were nice, clean, and had excellent service. Our stay at each hotel was very comfortable. All of the hotels were within walking distance to restaurants if preferred. We ate in the restaurants in 2 of the 3 hotels. The food was delicious. Our drivers (Fernando, Roberto, Carlos) from the airports, to the hotel and tourist attractions and our tour guides (Edward, Rodrigo) were the absolute best. Our guides were very knowledgable, patient and willing to adjust. Peru is beautiful and rich in history. There are lots of beautiful Cathedrals and ecological/archeological sites to visit. It's impossible to visit and learn the history without a guide. Yesterday was the last day of our Cultural Immersion tour. We are very pleased. This tour is as advertised. Cultural Immersion ensures the modes of travel (car ride from the airport to the hotel, car ride to the train station, train ride to Machu Picchu city and bus ride to the site) and tickets into the historical sites are booked. We booked our rountrip domestic flight from Lima to Cusco. Cultural Immersion set the standard for tour companies. Because of our experience with Cultural Immersion, I would definitely plan a multi-destination vacation again.
Perfect vacation in Peru

5.00Great visit in Peru made possible by the staff at Cultural Immersions. From the pickup at the airport in Lima to the private tours to the final hotel and transfers to depart, everything was fantastic. The majority of the trip was spent with Fidel our guide and Carlos our driver. Both were knowledgable and funny. A joy to spend time with while learning about the region. The hotels which were provided were comfortable, local and staffed with the most helpful people ever. Everything was first class!
Wonderful 6-day private tour

5.00We did a private tour for 2 people from Lima to Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu. The company's agent Grethel was happy to customize our tour and answer all of our questions immediately. There was a mix-up about our arrival date in Lima and our driver was not there to pick us up, which we were not happy about, but the company immediately contacted us to refund our taxi fare and offer us a special tour of Lima the next day. In Lima our driver/guide Luis was super nice and helpful. Alvaro was our guide from Cusco to Machu Picchu and he did an outstanding job. He was full of knowledge, spoke good English (and helped me practice my Spanish!), patiently answered all of our questions, and customized each activity based on what we wanted to do. I highly recommend this tour!
Awesome Experience

5.00Our trip was absolutely amazing!!! Cultural Immersion Travel was the agency that provided the tour. When we first arrived they provided us with an outline of the 6 day tour along with a snack and gift. Our guide for the entire trip was the same person, Alvaro, who was great!! He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. He was very accommodating for any requests we made while out and about and his English was good. I would definitely recommend Alvaro to anyone wanting a guide. The only problem we had was when we arrived in Machu Picchu, their was no one to pick us up. We were able to contact the hotel and they quickly picked us up (a short 4 minute walk). Overall though we were very happy with everything!
Extraordinary Peru Adventure

5.00Our friends had used Cultural Immersion for a tour for two couples, and my husband and I wanted a private tour of Peru (including Lake Titicaca) as a special birthday trip. My husband is an anxious traveler, and this company successfully helped both of us to relax and appreciate the beauty, history, and especially people of the country. Every detail of our trip was carefully orchestrated by Silvia in the Cultural Immersion office. She was easily accessible before and during our trip. After starting in Lima, we had the same wonderful tour guide, Alvaro, for our time beginning in Cusco until our flight back to Lima several days later. We also had outstanding drivers (which is no easy feat in Peru). Our accommodations, the food provided to us, and all the sights and activities were custom designed to meet our specific needs. At one point, there was a small issue with a hotel, and Silvia was right on top of things to make us happy. And we felt the price was reasonable, given our personalized tour. I can't imagine going to Peru and using any other tour company. We think that Cultural Immersion deserves all the positive feedback they have gotten.
