September is a great time to travel to Peru for me with neutral weather, warm in the day and slightly cold in the evening. The breathtaking views, tasty foods and all the great vibes of this so vibrant and rich culture of Peru were all fulfilled and completed by Peruvian Sunrise Company. Not only we booked it for 7 days but we also booked 2 days extra through the company and everything was organized in a perfect way that we got nothing to complain about. All the staffs, assistants or people we met on the trip all took part in our successful trip, they were so nice and kind with all the pride of their country to be able to show us all the great fortune that they have - Peru. Hotels options were perfect with good locations which easily access to major places, markets or restaurants for us to enjoy during our leisure time.Our favorite ones is actually the La Carson in Yucay, Peru which the hotel located in the middle of all hills and mountains, waking up in the morning with this view was so awesome. The between time of when we go on a tour with a group and the time we can spend by ourselves is perfectly balanced out. The places that they took us were all worth the time and worth every pennies that we spend. They are very flexible in accommodating with our extra plans, just need to let them know so we can plan accordingly. Shout out to: Clara - who communicated with us patiently to organize all pick ups/drop off at the airport and for the extra days smoothly. She was a very great help. To Luiz who greeted us Cuzco with her friendly smile, very informative and professional. Of course during a trip, there is not gonna be everything is so perfect, there are few minutes here and there but overall our experiences with Peruvian Sunrise was so good that we totally forget all of these minus things. We totally and highly recommend them to anyone who is still struggling to plan out their trip to Peru, this tour is one of the best to go with!
