    Exceptional service and highly satisfied We had a wonderful experience in Peru all thanks to Auri Peru Travel and Lizbeth, who the main co-ordinator at Auri. Right from the initial discussions over WhatsApp texts/calls to planning to eventually executing on those plans - Auri was in constant and seamless communication with us. They were open to any questions and flexible in making changes to the itinerary. The guides that they offered were very experienced and offered deep history and perspectives beyond typical information. The hotels they booked were phenomenal as well. Once in Peru, alongside our guides, Auri was in constant communication and checking in on our well being. Overall, we are very happy with their services and would highly recommend them if anyone is planning for a comprehensive, well guided and pleasurable trip to Peru.

    Excellent service from our private tour company Auri Peru Travels - Unique experience in Peru. We hired Auri Peru travel for our 8 day visit to Peru and were extremely happy with it. Starting from the bookings we had nothing but positive experience. Lizbeth was very nice to work with and very flexible. From the day we left for Peru she was in touch with us on daily basis to ensure our journey was going pleasant. When we reached Cusco airport, Auri Peru Travel's English speaking guide picked us up on time and our journey started. All hotels in the trip were excellent with good service. The driver and guide both were very flexible and accommodating whether it's stopping for food or asking them to visit the local vegetable/fruit market to try local fruits. End to end the experience was a true 5-star experience and I strongly suggest Auri Peru Travel for your travel needs in Peru.

    Magnificent Adventure Auri Peru Travel provided for me the best experience while visiting the Cusco region, arranging many activities to see the ancient ruins of Maccu Picchu, many points of the Sacred Valley, Hike of Rainbow Mountian.....even Lizbeth and Juan gave great recommendations for food in Aguas Calientes and Cusco. This was in my top 3 adventures so far in my life.....Saudi Arabia and Egypt are the other two, just so you can have a gage on magnificence.
