Style Style Small Group Tour Small groups are usually defined as between 10 and 24 travelers, often less. If you're the kind of person who enjoys more intimate experiences and personal service this is a good choice. All else being equal you will pay a premium for this style vs a larger group tour.
Private Guided Private tours give you the undivided attention of a guide, and often involve special access to sites and unique experiences not available to larger groups. This is a great option for families, couples, and small friend groups. Expect to pay a bit more for the extra service.
Self Guided Tour A travel company plans your itinerary and arranges all the logistics including lodging, local activities, and transportantion. You have the flexibility of a solo trip while still getting the convience and time savings of expert planning. Get 90% of the benefits of a tour, without a guide.
Group Tour Groups are between 25-60 people, typically ~30-40. Usually there will be many opportunities to split off and enjoy meals and excursions in smaller groups. This is the most economical way to travel, saving up to 40% versus booking the same itinerary yourself.
River Cruise These vessels are smaller than most ocean cruisers, limiting which amenties are available. Passenger counts can vary. One of the biggest advantages of a river cruise is the ability to dock at smaller ports and local villages.
Small Ship Cruise Small ship cruises usually have a max passenger count of 500. The primary purpose of these trips is to spend time off the vessel in local ports (e.g. Mediterranean) or experiencing nature (e.g Galapagos or Antarctica). Cabins can vary from budget to luxury.
Large Ship Cruise This is the "floating city" experience, with multiple ways to enjoy your vacation aboard the ship as much as on land. Ships are multiple floors, provide several activities, culinary, and shopping options. They often make fewer stops and have less time available for shore excursions.
Retreats Similar to a self guided tour but staying in one location only with activities and day outings included as a part of the stay.

    Top Machu Picchu Attractions & Experiences

    Top Machu Picchu Experiences

      Trekking the legendary Inca trail, an original trading road used by the Incan Empire itself and a rite of passage for travelers for well over a century.

      Taking in the classic Machu Picchu vista for the first time at sunrise as mist slowly reveals dramatic cliffs, soaring mountains, and the ruins themselves.

      Climbing up either Huayna Picchu or Montaña de Machu Picchu for a challenge that is rewarded by towering views over the ruins below.

      Exploring Cusco, the former imperial capital of the Incans and today home to beautiful religious art and vibrant night life.

      Dropping by some of the less visited but equally impressive sights of the Sacred Valley, such as the old salt mines of Maras or the other-worldy ancient circles of Moray.

      Enjoying a rest in Ollantaytambo where you can experience a beautiful colonial square hemmed in by quaint alleys below and massive Incan ruins on every mountain top above.

    We did a private tour of Peru with A&K for our 30th wedding anniversary. It was truly remarkable. The attention to detail, sites we visited, hotels we stayed at and meals were absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived at the airport to the moment dropped off at the end of our tour we were made to feel special. Fantastic guide who told us the history and showed us the parts other tours miss. Highly recommended

    An amazing trip! Joel our trip manager was a star, he kept us all informed if things were to change (we were very lucky that only two minor activities in Peru changed because of the strikes), he was very informative and would answer all questions, no matter how silly.
    The tour was jam packed, I'd recommend to everyone

    This Contiki was amazing. Covering four countries in South America in less than three weeks, I still had the feeling having time for experiences and understanding some of the culture of the places we visited. I loved how helpful, kind and knowledgeable our tour manager, Joel, is, and how well the crew got along. A few of my highlights were hiking up to rainbow mountain at more than 5000 meters, the first night out in Rio and the clubbing in Lima, seeing Machu Picchu, the Iguazu Falls (from an helicopter) and Cristo Redentor, as well as all the all you can eat BBQ dinners with unlimited wine in Argentina and Brazil. I can only highly recommend the trip to anyone who has little time and wants to have fun and discover a lot!

    Only issue was the jungle. Might need some type of relief from heat and humidity

    It was very pricy but I was okay with it because I didn’t have to worry about a thing.
