Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There are not enough words of praise to describe how wonderfully well-served we were by Vamos Expeditions and their agent, Annelies.
The easy part was when Vamos designed the perfect privately guided trip to Machu Picchu for me and my wife, both of whom are not young and have travel constraints: in particular, not too early starts in the morning, not too long bus or van rides, flexible tours that allow for rests. Working with Vamos throughout the planning process was a pleasure.
The challenging part came when we were in Peru ready to embark to Machu Picchu when the trains stopped running because of demonstrations by Machu Picchu ticket agents. We kept hoping that the trains would start again before our scheduled flight back to the U.S. but that didn’t happen. So we postponed our flight home for four days while Annelies worked liked crazy to rearrange hotel stays, guided local tours, local flights and other arrangements to help us reschedule our Machu Picchu trip. And it worked!! The disruption was settled and we made it to Machu Picchu the day before we departed Peru.
All through the rearrangement process we did not feel we were working with a bureaucrat at a travel agency, but rather with a close friend who really cared about us. We spoke to her at all hours, long after the office was closed. She offered every option she could come up with to make our extra four days comfortable and rewarding. And I’m sure the arrangements she made were costing her extra money, which she never mentioned.
The only regret we have about Annelies is that she works only in Peru. We would gladly hire her for any future travel we might consider anywhere in the world.
Turning next to our personal tour guide, Marisol. As I mentioned, we’re not young people, so the many stairs, hills, and uneven terrains we needed to negotiate to see all there was to see were really challenging. Marisol was a genius at encouraging us not to shrink away from the challenges and give each a try while at the same time giving us plenty of time and space to rest and slow down to conserve energy and renew our spirits. Her enthusiasm explaining the history, importance, and cultural significance of what we were seeing made it feel that this was the first time she had ever taken anyone on these tours, while it was probably the hundredth. She carried our backpack (over our objection), used her connections with guards and rail conductors to get us the best seats and best views of everything, and, like Anneleis made us feel that we had a close friend showing us her favorite places. She went out of her way several times during our extended time in Cusco because of the rail disruption to ferry us around, show us alternate attractions and make us feel that the disruption to our original plans was not a disappointment, but, rather, a great stroke of luck. Thank you, Marisol!

Vamos Expeditions organised an amzing itinerary for us including age appropriate activities, experiences, hotels, tour guides and experiences. Everything Annalies suggested was fantastic. All of the hotels were in a great and safe location, we saw really interesting things, the tour guides were amazing, the transfers were seamless. We could never and put something so perfect together ourselves. Thoroughly receommend Annalies and her team for their knowledge, professionalism, contacts and advice. We had an incredible time in Peru. Thank you Annalies, Alvaro and everyone at Vamos!

We have travelled the world extensively and my view is that Vamos are outstanding at every stage.
Annelies and Alvaro held my hand throughout the planning process and helped pull together a fabulous, tailor made trip to Peru and Ecuador/Galapagos. When it came to the trip itself the execution was flawless. We were well looked after at every stage, beyond the level of personal service we have received from other, more expensive operators. Each hotel, tour guide, driver etc were spot on.
We would definitely use Vamos again in South America

Peru and the entire trip were beyond our expectations. Everything was handled very professionally, promptly and clearly so we could relax and enjoy all the Incan sites.

In July 2023, we embarked on a remarkable journey to Peru with two Belgian families, totaling 12 individuals. Our adventure was meticulously orchestrated by Vamos Expeditions, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. The careful planning extended to every aspect of our trip, assuring that we could fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and culture of Peru.
Throughout our travels, the warmth and hospitality of the people we encountered, including the knowledgeable guides and the staff at the hotels, added an extra layer of enjoyment to our expedition. Their friendliness and helpfulness enhanced our understanding of the local customs and enriched our overall experience.
I highly recommend choosing Vamos Expeditions for anyone considering a trip to Peru. Their commitment to detail, coupled with the genuine warmth of the locals, guarantees a carefree, educational, and profoundly enriching adventure.

We travelled to Peru in July 2023 with 2 Belgian families (12 persons in total). It was an incredible journey: everything was well planned in advance by Vamos Expeditions, the people we met (the guides, the people of the hotels…) were so friendly & helpful… I recommend to go to Peru with Vamos Expeditions for a carefree, educational and enriching experience!

We had a group trip with vamos expeditions. And everything from the pick up at the airport till the drop of was amazing. We had a private chauffeur who drove us safely to the best spots in Cusco and nearby region. Everything was very personal and created with lots of experience and love. The accommodations were perfect for our group and we will always remember the great view of the stars at night. Highly recommend Vamos Expeditions and Team

Highly, highly recommend this tour company.
From the very beginning, Annelies and team were incredibly helpful and in great communication every step of the way, helping me plan a full 3 weeks travelling throughout Peru with ease. The itinerary was perfectly organized with contacts at every check-in making sure I got to my accommodations/transports easily. All hotels exceeded expectations and everything was better than could have hoped nor would have been able to organize on my own. Would highly recommend Vamos Expeditions for anyone planning any trip to Peru!

I did the 3 day Salkantay trail and Machu Picchu with Vamos Expeditions and it was an amazing experience. I would like to thank our 2 guides Hagel and Christian, the cooks who prepared delicious food and tea time (muy rico!), the horsemen and the people who made this all possible! Would highly recommend!

Hola, muchas gracias por tu pregunta. El precio de nuestros paquetes varia mucho. Como la mayoria de los tours lo ofrecemos en un servicio privado y personalizado, los costos varian de acuerdo de la cantidad de personas (adultos-ninos) y lo que incluye el paquete, y a veces de la fecha. Por ello, no tenemos precios publicados en nuestra pagina web (aun) y es mejor enviarnos un email. Con gusto les ayudamos con su pedido.

Hola amiga de Ecuador,
Gracias por tu pregunta. Seria un gusto poder ayudarte con un tour a Paracas e Ica con visitas a las dunas, las islas Ballestas y la reserva nacional de Paracas.
Nosotros hacemos estos tours en servicio privado con uno de nuestros transportes que son muy seguros y comfortables. Por eso además, es posible hacer paradas interesantes en el camino. de Lima a Ica que son 300kms.
Hay muchas personas que nos piden el tour en 1 solo día largo y salimos bien temprano de Lima para aprovechar al máximo. Pero es aun mejor si puedes hacer este tour en 2 o quizá 3 días para hacerlo con mas calma. Es un tour muy lindo para hacer con familia.
Por favor, podrías escribirme un correo con las fechas exactas que piensas hacer este viaje y en que tipo de hospedaje les gustaría quedar. Y te ayudo con mucho gusto para encontrarte el mejor precio para el paquete.
Saludos y gracias por tu interes.

Dear traveler, thank you for your question and your interest in doing one or more day tours with Vamos Expeditions when your cruise ship stops in Lima on March 19 and 20. It would be our pleasure to help you. We have done similar tours for people on cruise ships. We can organize you tours that make you get the most out of your time. We can pick you up from the harbor in Callao with a private transportation and bring you back to your ship at the end of the day. We can show you all the main attractions in Lima. Please send us an email with a bit more information on the time you have available these days, how many people you are, what you like to do, for example are you looking for a more cultural experience or something more active, your average age, etc. Then we will make you a proposal. Kind regards, Annelies Hamerlinck - Vamos Expeditions
