If you are seeking to explore the culture of Sacred Valley, Peru, I would highly recommend Retreats and Tours Peru to partner with again any day. The planning process with Laura and Carlos not only felt professional, but also felt caring and compassionate every step of the way.

Laura was really great in supporting us with creating the logistics for the retreat in terms of the itinerary planning and also with helping with accepting payments and taking care of my retreat participants prior to the retreat. She was also very good at answering any questions that I had about the retreat, or any questions that our retreat guests had in preparation for this amazing experience.

Carlos is an amazing guide who puts his heart and soul into the work that he does, and showed us a really great time in Peru and gave us a mixture of learning about the culture of Peru, the historic sights, the food, the cuisine, the art, and is also just an all around good person. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone especially if you want to see Peru from the eyes of a local and from people who and from a company who puts people first. Thank you, Laura and Carlos!

I had never been to Peru. I booked my travel to Peru, and two weeks later I flew out.

I didn’t speak the language, I didn’t have an event planned, and I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for. What I did know is that I wanted to hire a guide who could roll with me, to let things unfold and to help me create an adventure that would last a lifetime.

In the days before I left the United States for Peru, I reached out to Laura and Retreats and Tours, Peru. After the decision to go, the best thing I did was to hire them to be my guide — to help me live an adventure.

It was, without question, the best money I’ve spent for travel guidance in my lifetime.

I will come back. And when I do, I will hire Laura and Carlos once again. I can’t recommend them highly enough. There wasn’t one thing I asked to see, do, or experience that they didn’t make happen—usually with only a few hour’s notice.

This is more than a review of a business. It’s a thankyou for the chance to have the trip of a lifetime.

You will not regret hiring Retreats and Tours; I will do it again.

“I can’t imagine a better way to learn about the history of regional dishes and ingredients than to take this cooking class. The event was well-organized, informative, fun, and each dish was delicious!”

We went to on a Whim. Carlos was informative about all the reks and very accommodating. We booked the 5 day Salkantay Trek to Macchu Picchu because of him! Carlos does walking tours of Cusco! BEST TOUR EVER!!! He Shows you around town to Saksaywaman, he talks about history of Cusco and shows you where to shop around town esp. what to look for Alpaca, chocolate museum, where to eat the best foods and which shops are the best deals. Highly recommend Carlos as a guide! He’s a cool guy! 5 stars to Carlos and Loki! Pictures is one of the most amazing views you will ever see in your life!
