Our trip to Peru was absolutely amazing, thanks to the excellent planning and support from Liz and the team at kimkim. Every detail was meticulously organized, and we had no logistical issues whatsoever.
While we packed a lot into a short amount of time, which led to some early mornings and long days, this was a lesson for us in future travel planning. Overall, the personalized and attentive service made our experience unforgettable. We will be returning to Peru and would definitely use kimkim!
Hotel Reviews
Our stay at the Holiday Inn Lima Airport was brief but practical. It’s a standard airport hotel, which was convenient for our early flight the next day. Nothing special but it served its purpose well.
Casa del Sol was beautiful and luxurious. The only downside is that we didn’t get to spend much time there because of our packed schedule. It had a lovely spa and nice rooms, making it a place I’d love to return to.
The hotel in Puno was also very nice, and we had more time to enjoy it compared to the other hotels. The setting was lovely, and it provided a great base for our Lake Titicaca adventures.
We love the stay in Cusco, it was amazing. The hotel had a colonial feel with lots of history. I wish we had more time to enjoy it, but our tight schedule didn’t allow for it.

I really enjoyed our private tour to The Sacred Valley. It was a beautiful introduction to the region, and we had no logistical issues which made the experience smooth. The Sacred Valley itself was stunning and walking around was a great way to start our adventure

Taking the Observatory Train to Machu Picchu was a highlight. The lunch at Tinkuy was delicious, and the tour of Machu Picchu was incredible. The guides were informative, and having a day and a half there made it even more special.

We did enjoy the train and land transfer back to Cusco, but the Pachamanca Farm Experience wasn’t quite what we expected. It was interesting to see the traditional cooking method, but it felt like a lot of effort for what it was. We might have preferred spending more time in the city.

Our private tour of Lake Titicaca, including Llachon and The Uros islands, was phenomenal. The floating islands were unlike anything we had seen before, and having a private boat and guide made it feel very personalized and luxurious. This part of the trip was absolutely worth it.
