A great walking tour of old Lima and Barranco
Sep 2024 • Solo - Frank M
Aaron knows his home city well, his English is excellent. He knows the history and the food and the shopping and can tailor a tour to your interests. Aaron was also in touch before I arrived with suggestions for accommodations and transport from the airport. Full endorsement. Incredible, tailored experiences in Peru!
Most unforgettable vacation in Peru
May 2024 • Couples - Sue A.
Two weeks of adventure in Peru was made very memorable with Aaron’s thoughtful and careful planning. Other than knowing we wanted to visit Machu Picchu, we didn’t know much about what else to do, or where to begin. In the end, we just knew we wanted to experience the core of Peruvian culture (and cuisine!), but also a bit of the road less travelled. Aaron and his team made it happen, in spite of some of the curve balls we (and a 24hr flight delay) threw at them. Professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
Best guide for Peru

We just completed a fantastic trip to Peru with Aaron as our guide. This trip was 6 years in the making as prior plans were disrupted 3 times due to hurricane, pandemic, and political unrest. Through it all Aaron maintained great communication and attention to our desires that resulted in an amazing visit to Lima, Cusco, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu and a rain forest Inkaterra lodge.
We started in Lima where the highlight was a delicious dinner at Aaron’s mothers house. The local dishes were expertly prepared while we drank pisco sours that were also freshly mixed. Having personal interaction with locals is the best travel experience.
We then ventured on to Cusco and the sacred valley where the transfers and hotel arrangements were seamless. Aaron’s experience and network of knowledgeable colleagues provide worry free travel so you can just relax and enjoy every stop along the way. The Maras salt mines and the weaving demonstration in Chinchero were very interesting. And the llamas, alpacas and guinea pigs were very fun to see. (Viewing only. No cute little animals were consumed on this trip)!
Of course the main attraction was experiencing Machu Picchu and climbing Huayna Picchu. Aaron and his colleagues provide expert support from the time you step out of your hotel, ride the winding bus route and then hike the archeological site. No matter how high your expectations are for this visit, they will be exceeded!
Based on Aaron’s recommendation, our last few days in Peru were spent at Inkaterra Reserva Amazónica. This property is located in the rain forest and provided some great food and encounters with beautiful macaws, parrots and jungle foliage. And for the more adventurous, sightings of howler monkeys, tarantulas and caymans are guaranteed!
In summary, we would highly recommend Aaron to anyone planning a trip to Peru. Over the past 6 years he has become a friend and last month provided us with an amazing experience that would not have been as enjoyable without him. It is clear that Aaron truly loves his country and is very enthusiastic about sharing that feeling through his personal guide service.
