Peru & Mystical Machu Picchu

We recently returned from Peru booked through Approach Tours! Wow! What an excellent experience. The tour was very comprehensive and well organized. Special mention to our Tour Guru, Rasha Salem, who was responsible for making the trip all the more awesome! She was dedicated to all of us on the tour and ensured we all had the best possible experience, because in her words, this was our vacation! We are looking forward to booking our next vacation through Approach!

The Peru tour by Approach Tours was fantastic! Approach Tours put a lot of thought into this trip, finding wonderful places to stay at, having delicious meals prepared and served to us 3 times a day… every day! Local guides, as well as our incredible Guru Rasha Salem, took us to places one could never do on their own, we always felt safe and well looked after by excellent bus drivers, the guides, and Rasha. We met new friends as the group formed into one big family sharing many laughs, challenges, and new experiences as we traveled the beautiful landscapes that Peru offers.

Just home a week ago from our trip to Peru with Approach Tours. It was everything promised and more! We saw and did so much in two weeks, I can’t really say what was my favourite part. Our group was super compatible and easy going. Rasha, our group guru, deserves all the kudos for keeping things going smoothly – with grace and her huge smile! Every detail was looked after – transfers, hotels, airline tickets, meals, tours. When I discovered Approach Tours online, I thought the reviews could hardly be true, but since travelling with them I would highly recommend their tours.

The organization on this trip was superb. Every detail was taken care of. Hotels were very good, and the beds were comfortable. The bags were meticulously counted and delivered and picked up promptly. Our Guru, Rasha, was unfailingly upbeat, kind and considerate. The local guides were so interesting and knowledgeable, and I learned so much. The scenery was magnificent and of course the ruins were spectacular. I would recommend this company to anyone for their attention to detail and the way they make travelling so easy and stress-free.

Approach Tours delivered an exceptional journey that left an everlasting impression. Our group became like a tight-knit family, and our guide, went above and beyond with his knowledge and warmth. Highlights included witnessing majestic condors, exploring captivating Lake Titicaca’s floating islands, and experiencing the awe-inspiring wonder of Machu Picchu. The intimate group size fostered genuine connections and allowed us to create cherished memories. Approach Tours’ attention to detail and personalized care ensured our comfort and safety throughout. Highly recommended for a unique and unforgettable adventure in Peru.

Loved the Santa Catalina Convent. I was astounded at seeing the Juanita Mummy up close. Very luck to see a condor (that was THE highlight for me). I also really enjoyed Lake Titicaca and walking on the floating islands, and boat ride in the reed boat –very cool.

Our biggest highlight was meeting the other travellers and the laughs we had together. The day on Lake Titicaca was very interesting. Machu Pichu was amazing of course but the ruins in Pisac were surprisingly stunning. Climbing up to Ollantaytambo, Puno, the necropolis of Sillustani, all of these sights were amazing. We were worried about the elevation, but the timing Approach built in to adjust was good. Thanks!

The entire trip was amazing. The day on Lake Titicaca was outstanding; Machu Picchu day – outstanding; Arequipa – great; loved time in Colca Valley & Sacred Valley. Activities where we met locals & interacted with them was great. The group size made the trip – very enjoyable & efficient – can’t imagine being in a bigger group. Overall this was an outstanding trip!! So happy we booked this trip with you – felt well cared for & safe. Plus great guides & got to see main highlights in each area we went to.

Joe is a great guy – always there for us! Couldn’t ask for more! Support from local guide – exceptional! So many highlights: Condors; Lake Titicaca; floating islands; lunch with knitting men; afternoon with family – dancing; Sacred Valley; Machu Picchu; San Pedro Market; churches; magical lunches; pisco sours; many more!

I have been traveling solo for 15 years and this trip with Approach Tours has been my most memorable. Our group was certainly like family and as for Joe, our guide, to say the least was the kindest and most helpful of all gurus. We enjoyed our meals and free time together and the magnificence of Machu Picchu was beyond my wildest dreams. The Spanish guides were excellent too, and I actually added some words to my vocabulary. I cannot say enough about Approach Tours, your efforts paid off immensely. Many thanks to Daniel, Julie, and off course Joseph!
