Our trip to Peru absolutely exceeded expectations.
From the beginning, Shawna was a fantastic partner in helping us plan the best itinerary for our family. She answered all our questions quickly and thoroughly, providing excellent guidance as we weighed different options. She helped us create a balanced itinerary filled with unique, authentic experiences.
While all our guides were terrific, Abel - our guide in Cusco and the Sacred Valley - was in a category of his own. He went above and beyond, helping us navigate unexpected flight issues and some altitude sickness our daughter experienced when we first arrived in Cusco. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Inca and Quechua society and was able to explain things in an accessible that engaged our kids and got them excited about the history. He truly made our trip special.
From the food tour in Lima, to the dune buggy adventure in the Paracas desert, to exploring Ollyantaytambo and Machu Picchu, to visiting the local Cusco markets and cooking authentic Peruvian cuisine with a chef at her restaurant, it was an unforgettable vacation. I highly recommend Peruvian Soul.

Cooking Class with Seledonia Mesa

Our favorite experience in Peru! Seledonia is a remarkable person and an incredible chef. We had so much fun visiting the market with her and then learning from her in her kitchen. Such a unique experience.

Art and Local Cuisine in Bohemian Barranco
Lima
Blanca was a terrific guide! She brought us to an amazing market to start our day which helped us better understand the fruits and vegetables we would later see in the dishes we tried. From chocolate tasting to ceviche to classic lomo saltado - and ice cream to cap it all off! - the food was delicious. Highly recommend!
Quality of Experience
Blanca was knowledgeable and very friendly.

We spent our last two days back in Cusco before flying back to Lima, visiting the beautiful city squares, markets and Saqsaywamam. The experience with kimkim.com was really great. They were super accommodating and patient with us. Our guide Alexandra felt like part of the family!! !!!!FIVE STARS!!!!
