My friend and I booked a Peruvian Tour with this agency on February 2020 and we paid 1250 USD each of us. After 1 month, due to the COVID-19 we had to cancel the tour and from that day the troubles began. They started in a fine way, they told us that they will give us the entire refund in few days. The days had passed and today February 2021 we don't have received yet the refund (neither a part of it) and they has stopped answering pour emails, calls. We don't know what to do anymore, next step is to go with the legal and we will do it. We absolutely don't recommend this agency at all to none.

We have been wanting to go to Peru for a long time, and finally decided to go last December with Veru Voyage, and we must say that though it rained a tad (we knew this before hand because it's the rainy season) we couldn't be happier. We did the Lares trek along with Lake Titicaca/Puno and Arequipa, each place is totally different and each one of them offers completely different experiences. Though most recommend not going during the rainy season, and I understand why, everything is so green and beautiful that we think that it's actually a good idea, if we had to do it all over again we would choose the end of the rainy season towards March or April, where everything is still green but it doesn't rain as much. The team at Veru was brilliant, they did everything for us and we could not be happier, it's a boutique travel agency with great service and great price for what you end up with, highly recommended.

Excellent trip to see the Maras and Moray of the Sacred Valley of Incas off the Cusco city. The tour was conducted very nicely and the guide was well informed with a plenty of knowledge and experience. I can totally recommend this to see and get a good overview of Maras and Moray in the Sacred Valley of Incas.

For the traveler who only has a few hours to spare, this tour, coined "The Perfect Snapshot of Lima" by previous guests, covers it all. Compare and contrast colonial Lima, with the modern district of Miraflores along with the fun and bohemian seaside town of Barranco. From high above the Pacific Ocean you will look down upon the iconic "Green Coast" as it boasts both contemporary city life with rudimentary shanty towns; you won't believe how much ground we will cover in just five short hours. If you can give us an additional hour of your time, we can add on a stop for the most delicious local sandwiches and exotic juices to make your half day or lay over tour just perfect!

Inclusions: All taxes, fees and handling charges, Local guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off (from districts of San Isidro, Miraflores & Barranco - all others please see: Exclusions), Private tour, Transport by air-conditioned private vehicle

Exclusions: Gratuities, Lunch - If La Lucha & Kennedy Park add-on is selected, client will be responsible for lunch consumption. The additional pricing is to cover the extra hour that will be added on to the tour.

Our day led by Gabriella was well worth the extra expense of a private rather than group tour. Her enthusiasm and knowledge about the Lima's history, neighborhoods and cultural buildings made for a great orientation to the city. The itinerary was well organized given the volume of vehicle traffic, we also had ample time at each site, and never felt rushed. It's an excellent tour whether you have just a single day in Lima, or if you have more time later on to explore on your own. Thanks again!

My wife and I had a great time with Pablo and Cesar. This tour was fantastic; not too much walking, great history, and of course AMAZING food. We went to places that they went to as children; it was an immersive experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to eat where the locals do.
