We traveled to Cusco this December with a three day private tour planned with Danny. My mom had done a similar tour with Danny and recommended him/amazing andean adventures to us! Our three day adventure was pretty much perfect; danny was always early to meet us, super friendly, with great english and tons of knowledge to share about the ruins and inca historical sites we visited. He even made the rain clear up so we could get a perfect view of machu picchu after our hike. On day one we went from our hotel to various destinations in sacred valley, which I worked with the company to plan so that we would hit all the spots I wanted to. They were helpful and accommodating in building a highly individualized itinerary. They took care of all permits tickets planning and danny had every document organized and ready at the time needed. We saw the salt mines, moray terraces, markets, ollantaytambo ruins, pisac, picchu, aguas calientes, waynu picchu etc. We always got to skip lines and avoided the crowds. The hotel we stayed at in Ollay was exquisite with flowers and gardens surrounding. We were sad to leave on our last day!! Danny took photos if us along the way and was quick to send them after our trip. Dont see machu picchu any other way. Choose amazing andean adventures!!

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!

The tour was perfectly organized. The pick up was right on time and the vehicle was very comfortable. We visited 3 different markets and the tour guide Jonathan was very well informed. His spoken English is on a very good level so on top of a lovely day with delicious food I also learned a lot :) He was also very flexible so I booked directly after the first tour a visit to the Larco Museum. Thank you Jonathan!

Just had an amazing morning with Lucas who led this tour just for me! We went to the swamp area as well as the seaside, where we must have seen 30 or 40 species of birds in total, pelicans, flamingos, herons, flycatcher and more. Lucas was very friendly and knowledgable. He had bird ID charts and bird call app but no binoculars. The visit was not far out of Lima and it was lovely too to be out of the hustle and bustle of the city.

My family and I went sandboarding with Aldo and Desert Expeditions in December of 2018! We had so much fun that when we returned to Peru this December the first thing they asked was for me to book another day with Aldo and Desert Expeditions sandboarding. We had just as much fun the second time around! My husband and daughter are snowboarders, and Aldo is great at explaining the nuisances between snow and sand boarding to make their day successful and fun. I don’t snow or sand board, but I enjoy going out with them. The sand dunes are beautiful. Desert Expeditions is prompt in their reply, professional, provides all the equipment needed, and FUN! Book them if you find yourself in Lima!

All was perfect. Nazca lines were from other world, I can't believe that the people of that time have been able to make tremendous drawings on the ground without having to see them from the sky, I was totally impressed. Thank you Andy for teaching us all this, we are very happy, we have known Nazca hahaha, a dream for a long time ...
