Peru Travel Agents

We had an amazing trip to Peru, although there was a stressful period leading up to it. We initially worked with another travel agent to plan our trip, but at some point communication stopped and we didn’t hear from her for about a month. I also take some responsibility for not reaching out to Kimkim sooner. As our trip got closer, Kimkim connected us with Liz, who took over our itinerary.

From that point on, Liz and the Kimkim team went above and beyond. Liz had to step into a trip she hadn’t originally planned and make sure everything was rebooked and confirmed. She was incredibly responsive and made us feel that we were being taken care of. Once we arrived in Peru, everything ran seamlessly. We loved all of our hotels, our guides were knowledgeable and engaging, and every transfer and transportation arrangement was on time.

There were so many memorable experiences. We loved the farm experience where we learned about traditional cooking and enjoyed a Pachamanca lunch. Lunch high in the Andes surrounded by mountains and llamas was another unforgettable experience.

We also had a fantastic time in Cusco with our guide, Natalie. She was knowledgeable, fun, and made our time there even more special.

One of the biggest highlights of the trip was hiking the short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. A few people in our group struggled with altitude sickness, and our guides were incredibly patient, attentive, and helpful. We were also surprised with an amazing freshly prepared lunch halfway through the hike—definitely not what we expected while hiking the Inca Trail! Reaching Machu Picchu after the hike was an experience we will never forget.

What could have been a very stressful situation before our departure turned into a fantastic trip. We really appreciate how Liz and Kimkim stepped in, took ownership, and made sure we had the experience we had been looking forward to. We would absolutely recommend Liz and Kimkim.

Hotel Review

Sonesta Posadas del Inca Yucay

Urubamba

Beautiful and peaceful hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, the food was great, and they had nightly entertainment that our group really enjoyed. The one thing I wish I had understood beforehand was the location. If you’re using the hotel as a base for day trips and traveling to Machu Picchu, there can be a lot of driving. We encountered quite a bit of traffic and ended up spending more time in the car than we expected. Knowing that now, I might have chosen to stay in Ollantaytambo instead. That has nothing to do with the hotel itself, though—the hotel was fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay.

The food was delicious, and all of our dietary restrictions were accommodated. We were especially impressed that they could prepare such a wonderful multi-course meal right on the trail. It was completely unexpected and made our Inca Trail experience even more memorable.

Our guide in Cusco Julio Cesae was fantastic, he went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience and treated us like family. I highly recommend him!

We only had 1 negative experience, on arrival our guide Bosco slept then entire drive to the hotel. I wonder if he might have sleep apnea or just had a late evening.

Overall we had a wonderful trip!

In one word: SUPERB!
We had an amazing family trip that showed us many different sides of Peru including cities (Lima, Cusco) and desert landscapes, rainforest and wildlife, history and culture . Everywhere we went the people were extraordinarily nice and the food was always delicious. A special mention goes to the Inca Trail experience culminating in Machu Picchu, led by the wonderful Iza.
We had a packed program with lots of travel and activities in 2 weeks, and all the transitions were managed very smoothly and we never experienced any problems. Really great how the program was designed and executed on the ground.
Would recommend this to anyone.

Our trip through Peru was absolutely incredible! So much of that comes down to the thoughtful planning and care from Jimena. Right from our first planning message—and from the moment we landed in Lima until we flew out of Cusco—everything ran seamlessly. Jimena took the time to figure out exactly what we wanted, striking the perfect balance between iconic highlights and authentic local experiences.
Traveling with two teenagers (ages 16 and 18!), I was blown away by how well the itinerary fit our family. Every day brought amazing new experiences—from biking through Lima and tasting our way through local markets to hiking the Sacred Valley, exploring Moray and the Maras salt ponds, and of course, taking in Machu Picchu.
A huge shoutout to Guido, who was an absolute rockstar of a guide. His knowledge of Peruvian history and culture brought every site to life, and he had an amazing knack for keeping everyone entertained and curious. We always felt like we were in the best hands. Machu Picchu was unforgettable, and even though rainy weather kept us from getting the full view at Humantay Lake, the hike itself was still unbelievable—as was Palcoyo Rainbow Mountain! Experiencing Cusco and the Sacred Valley gave us such a rich look at Peru beyond the typical tourist trail.
Jimena made the whole journey feel effortless. Transfers, hotels, timing—it all clicked into place so we could just relax and soak it all in. This was our first time in Peru, and it blew all of us away. We came home with incredible experiences and lifelong memories.
If you’re planning a trip, work with Jimena—and if you get Guido as your guide, consider yourself super lucky!

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Peru thanks to the planning and execution of the KimKim team and associated travel guides. Liz allowed me to curate a trip that was family friendly for our young children while also allowing for adventures that the adults would enjoy as well, exploring history, cuisine, and local culture.
Our favorite guides were Nataly(Cusco area), Natali(Cusco city), Pamela(Machu Picchu -kids), and Roderigo(Machu Picchu).

Muchas Gracias to the team for making a dream trip a reality!
