    4.8 / 5 851 reviews

    Verifiable reviews coming from independent and internationally acclaimed third-party sources speak much louder than we ever could. Please read just some of the over 500 5-star reviews we have online. One of our personal favorites reads:

    CharlieTheTraveler’s itinerary is quite extensive. It is obvious the company does not want its customers to miss any important destinations and attractions. CharlieTheTraveler is very easy to reach, making their personal concierges, booking agents, tour guides and even the Founder himself all available to you if you are in need of anything. CharlieTheTraveler puts its heart into its services and prioritizes safety and trust above all else. The prices are quite reasonable, especially considering they sell first-class experiences and the hotels they use are almost all 5-star (or 4-star in areas where 5-star hotels do not exist). They basically do all the thinking for you, providing all the tour guides and ground transportation. Their tours are set up in a way in which you do not need to arrange anything yourself but rather just have fun. CharlieTheTraveler deserves all the business it gets from travelers from all around the world.

      South Brazil: See & Experience Almost it ALL in 10 Days, 1st Class Custom Tours

      5.0Excellent
      23rd January 2024
      I was initially intrigued by CharlieTheTraveler trips that had beach excursions, as I love the beach. However, after reading how many beaches we were visiting in South Brazil and all of the other activities we were still able to do, I knew that was the trip for me! The tour did not disappoint in providing beach trips and even more! I enjoyed going on the boat tour of Buzios, as the water was immaculate, and it was such a great way to tour the country!

      Belize: See & Experience it ALL in 10 Days, 1st Class Custom Tours

      5.0Excellent
      16th January 2024
      My husband and I highly recommend Charlie the Traveler. We decided to honeymoon in Belize and we booked our 10 day trip through Tour Radar. Charlie called me after we booked and we talked for about 30 minutes about Belize and all the things to do. Evelyn (with Charlie the Traveler) sent us our itinerary 2 weeks before our trip and it was jam packed with adventures: cave tubing, cave canoeing, snorkeling, visiting the Mayan ruins including a massive cave adventure, the zoo, and more. Our tour guide in country, Valentin, was incredibly knowledgeable, punctual, professional, and funny. We felt very safe and taken care of. Evelyn remained available if we needed anything during the trip. We would use Charlie the Traveler again for another trip!

        Our Tour Package Itinerary

        Day 1: Where Architectural Legacies Remain

        Originally founded as Ciudad de Los Reyes (City of the Kings), Lima has developed an important tourism industry. What stand out are the historic center, archaeological remains, nightlife, museums, art galleries, festivities and popular traditions. The historic center of Lima was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988. A large number of architectural legacies remain. Highlights include the Basilica and Convent of San Francisco, the Plaza Mayor, the Lima Metropolitan Cathedral, the Basilica and Convent of Santo Domingo and the Palacio de Torre Tagle.

        Note that we can provide you with a guided sightseeing tour only if you arrive before 4:00pm.

        Day 2: Vineyards, Exotic Drinks & a Buggy Ride on Huge Hills

        We relocate from Lima to the city of Ica. There we are taken to two wineries. Peruvian wine dates back to the Spanish colonization of the region in the 16th century. After sampling some of the best wines and spirits Peru has to offer, we are taken to Huacachina. This village is built around a small oasis and is surrounded by sand dunes. We go dune bashing as well as sand boarding.

        Day 3: Large-Scale Geoglyphs Seen From the Sky & Peru's Version of the Galapagos Islands

        Before returning to Lima, we take a boat ride to the Ballestas Islands and then check out the Nazca Lines. The Ballestas Islands are an important sanctuary for marine fauna like the blue-footed booby. On the way to the islands, we see El Candelabro, a large-scale geoglyph that may have served as a beacon to mariners. The Nazca Lines were created between 500 BC and 500 AD. There are several theories as to why people of those times made these lines. Hear all about these different theories as we take a flightseeing tour over this group of geoglyphs.

        Day 4: Exploring the Once Capital of the Inca Empire

        We relocate from Lima to the colonial city of Cusco. Peru’s urban showcase destination Cusco is known for its rich heritage with the Inca and Spaniards as well as the charming architecture both empires left behind. Even though Cusco is also known for its proximity to the Machu Picchu archeological site, the city is popular in its own right. We are provided with a guided tour.

        Day 5: Stunning Archaeological Sites Spread Across a Valley

        We make a daytrip from Cusco to the Sacred Valley. The Chanapata civilization first utilized this area around 800 BCE because of the rich soil used for agriculture. The Qotacalla civilization lived here from 500 to 900 CE. The Killke civilization then lived here from 900 until the Incan Empire took over the region in 1420. The Incan Empire ruled this area until the arrival of the Spanish. Today, remains of citadels and markets are found across this long valley.

        Day 6: Multicolored Mountains Found Due to Melting Glaciers

        We make a daytrip from Cusco to Rainbow Mountain (a.k.a. Vinicunca). Mass tourism came after 2015, attracted by the mountain’s series of stripes of various colors due to its mineralogical composition on the slopes and summits. The mountain used to be covered by glacier caps, but these have melted due to global warming. We go horseback riding at Rainbow Mountain.

        Day 7: Salt Evaporation Ponds in Use Since Inca Times & the Train Ride You Have Been Awaiting

        Before relocating to the village of Aguas Calientes, we visit salt mines called Maras as well as an archeological site called Moray. Maras is well known for its salt evaporation ponds. There are over 5,000 of them, which have been in use since Inca times. Moray consists of several terraced circular depressions, the largest of which is approximately 30 meters (98 feet) deep. As with many other Inca sites, Moray also has an irrigation system.

        Day 8: Experiencing One of the Seven Wonders of the World

        Before returning to Cusco, we are provided with a guided tour of Machu Picchu. This 15th-century citadel is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period. Machu Picchu remained undiscovered to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in 1911. Machu Picchu was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

        Day 9: Two Architecturally Enticing Cities From Morning to Night

        Before relocating to the colonial city of Arequipa, we have free time to explore Cusco further: whitewashed and narrow streets, a gorgeous main square, grandeur sites and red-tiled roofs. Cusco is undoubtedly one of Latin America’s prettiest historic cities.

        Day 10: One of the Nation's Top Three Destinations, Home to the Andean Condor

        Today we make a daytrip from Arequipa to the very scenic Colca Canyon. It is home to Andean condors, giant hummingbirds, Andean geese, Chilean flamingos, mountain caracaras, rabbits, deer, foxes and alpacas. The Colca Canyon is Peru’s third most popular tourist destination, and for good reason.

        Day 11: A Provincial Capital Made of Volcanic Stone

        Before returning to Lima, we are provided with a guided tour of Arequipa. This destination definitely does not feel so large, even though it is the second largest city in the country. Arequipa is characterized by colonial-era churches and mansions. The historic center is small but charming nonetheless.

        Day 12: Our Tour Ends Today

        Transportation will be arranged for you to reach the airport in Lima.

        Note that if you can extend your trip, consider doing so. Lake Titicaca is worth 2 days, as is the Peruvian Amazon.

        I’ll always remember my time in Peru thanks to Charlie and this trip! I was happy that for once, somebody else was taking care of the trip details instead of me having to plan everything. I knew that Charlie and his team were nearby in case I needed anything. Shoutout to the amazing guides I had throughout the trip, they made everything even more memorable!

We did not regret our decision.

        Loved my time in Peru. I was particularly impressed with how the itinerary was well planned. It allowed for plenty activities but also down time to relax and explore on our own. I love animals, so I really liked the day trip to the Colca Canyon, where I got to see flamingos.

        10/10 would recommend booking Charlie if you’re thinking of going to Peru. It is a huge country with so many things to see, and Charlie’s trip allows you to see so many different parts of it. Great food, good accommodation, knowledgeable guides. I’ll never forget this trip!

        I’m so sad that my time in Peru had to come to an end. It was a trip of a lifetime thanks to Charlie and his team. Everything was amazing, from the lodging to the guided tours. Whenever we had an issue, Charlie and his team were always there to assist us.

        Peru is such a beautiful country, that Charlie’s tour does a great job highlighting. Every day was a new, exciting adventure. Charlie was very helpful and professional, from before the trip all the way until it ended. He saves you so much time and stress, it’s worth it. I highly recommend.

        Charlie, once again, thank you for EVERYTHING. We absolutely loved our time in Peru. Stress-free, well organized, fun, with so many different activities offered. It was our first time using CharlieTheTraveler, but it probably will not be the last.

        Only one word to describe this tour: Incredible. Peru was wonderful. Lots of different sights that you get to see like Machu Pichu, Cusco, Lima, Rainbow Mountain and so much more… Amazing accommodation, knowledgeable and funny guides. Everything was also well-timed. I’m gonna be recommending Charlie and his tours to all of my friends that travel.

        Super cool tour. My friends and I loved all of the activities included, especially the trip to Machu Pichu. It was amzing to be seeing this area in person. Charlie did a great job accompanying us throughout the whole process, making sure we had everything we needed. Would book one of his tour again!

        We loved this Peru tour thanks to Charlie and his trip-planning skills. We had been before on the Iceland tour offered by CharlieTheTraveler, so we had an idea of what to expect. But either way, we were still blown away by the whole experience. We especially loved not having to worry about any detail of the trip, since we knkew Charlie was well taking care of everything.

        This Peru tour was so much fun! It was our first time using CharlieTheTraveler, and we were impressed with how well everything was organized. The itinerary is well planned. It’s busy, but you still get some time to yourself to relax. Horseback riding at the Rainbow Mountain was amazing. If you’re looking for a Peru tour, this one might just be what you’re looking for.

        Most fun trip I’ve ever been on. This Peru itinerary was just perfect. Charlie clearly has been doing this for years, because my partner and I have no complains about this entire trip. Whenever something did come up, Charlie was quick to efficiently solve our problem. Already looking at the next trip we could book through CharlieTheTraveler.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        Can We Customize This Tour?

        We are open to customizing this tour to your liking, even though the itinerary we recommend is rock solid. As our tour is currently advertised, you absolutely will not find another one out there as packed with activities and attractions. What’s more, you will not find another tour out there that offers it all "FIRST CLASS," yet for a relatively low price. We have thousands of travelers taking this specific tour every year, and that's because no competitor can beat us on quality, price & substance.

        Is Travel Insurance Required & Included?

        All participants are required to book travel insurance within 72 hours of booking this tour. At a minimum, such insurance must cover cancellations, medical expenses, evacuations, flight loss or delays and 24/7 assistance.

        How Much Does This Tour Cost & Is Financing Offered?

        A 4-installment payment plan is available, often with 0 percent interest to those with at least decent credit. Ask us for details. Our luxury-oriented and itinerary-packed “Peru in 12 Days” tour is available for $3,065 USD per person. This price includes all transportation, except flights. It also includes an English-speaking tour guide, food, all activities and all entry fees. If you would like lodging included for all nights on this tour, then the combined (transportation, tour guide, food, activities, entry fees and lodging) total would be $3,945 USD per person. This price is based on 2 per room and is offered to those booking at least 6 weeks in advance. Note that there is a $30 USD fee if paying by bank transfer or a 4.1 percent surcharge for payments made by credit card. We accept both forms of payment. We do not accept checks. Moving forward, to better understand your specific circumstances and wishes, and for us to accurately quote you, please tell us:


        1. How many persons in your party-including yourself-would be joining this tour?

        2. What is your age and the age of your travel companion(s), if applicable? Travel insurance is required for this tour and we cannot quote you without knowing your age.

        3. Would you be sharing the room with others in your group (e.g. a spouse, relative or friend) or do you want the room exclusive to you?

        4. Where would you be flying from (and back to)?

        5. On what date would you like to leave home?

        8. Not least, would you like to add a daytrip from Cusco to Humantay Lake?

        9. Lastly, would you like to add a couple of days so you can visit Lake Titicaca?

        What’s Excluded in the Price?

        Any airfare, alcohol, travel insurance, any government-imposed visa fees and anything not mentioned in the itinerary

        Although airfare is not included in the price, we will find you the exact flights you need. Just ask.

        After booking our tour package, we would send you screenshots of what you need to purchase (airlines, flight number and date) and you would then book directly with the carrier. Never book airfare through a third party and always ensure your airfare type allows for changes or cancellation without penality. Does CharlieTheTraveler book airfare on customers' behalf? Although we recommend you do so directly to save money, yes we do offer this service, after the initial booking is made.

        *Note that you are not with the same travelers and tour guides throughout your trip. Instead, you usually meet and engage with new people.

        Am I Sharing the Room with Someone?

        Your room is exclusive to you and whomever is in your party. Strangers (meaning customers who book on the same start date but do not know each other) do not share rooms on this tour. On a side note, please let us know if you and the other person(s) in your booking want separate rooms.

        What is the Age Range & Nationality of the People Who Book This Tour?

        Although we get customers of all ages and from several countries, our statistics show most people who book are 30 to 65 years old and from USA, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

        Are Kids Allowed on This Tour & Are They Charged the Same as Adults?

        We welcome your kids specifically and only when the tour is exclusive to you and your group-meaning other customers are not joining you. We define kids as anyone under 18 years old. In order to make the tour exclusive to you and your group, your booking would need to be for 4 persons or more for any of our tours except Iceland. For our Iceland tour, your booking would need to be for 8 persons or more. Regarding the cost of bringing a non-adult, we do deduct from the total based on the amount of activities you request we remove from the tour. Note that reducing the total price of the tour by removing activities is something offered for non-adults only. Adults can opt out of activities but the total price does not change.

        How Strong Do I Need to Be For This Trip?

        We do not expect you to be an Olympic champion. We know some of the tour members are more fit than others…and we are well prepared for this. However, we do hope you take into consideration this is a very active tour, just like every other tour we offer.

        Are Disabled People Allowed on This Tour?

        Please let us know about any disability you have. Some disabilities would not affect you taking this tour. Others would prevent you from joining altogether. Although we want all of our customers to have fun, your safety is our first priority.

        Do I Get Any Free Time to Myself?

        Of course. Once each day’s tour is over, you have the rest of the evening to yourself. Because our tours tend to be very active, our customers typically want to simply relax once the sun sets.

        What Happens If I Arrive Late?

        Notify us as soon as possible and we will do our very best to arrange a meeting point. Please note that we do not refund for any days or activities that you miss.

        Can I Opt-Out of Certain Activities?

        Generally speaking, you can opt out as long as we are given adequate notice. Please note that opting out of certain activities does not reduce the price of this tour.

        What Happens If I Get Injured on This Trip & Cannot Continue?

        We would do our best to keep you safe and make you as comfortable as possible, as well as make special arrangements to address your situation. Partial refunds are not offered if you cannot continue with the tour. However, most travel insurances reimburse you for such situations. This is one of many reasons why we require our customers to purchase travel insurance before taking this tour.

        What Happens If I Cancel This Trip?

        To confirm your tour, full payment is needed at the time of your purchase. However, refunds are offered. You will receive a full refund if canceling at least 91 days in advance from the departure date. Cancelling between 90-60 days prior to departure entitles you to a 50 percent refund. Cancelling between 59-31 days prior to departure entitles you to a 25 percent refund. Canceling 30 days or less prior to departure is not eligible for a refund. Cancellation requests need to be made by email and become effective on the date received by CharlieTheTraveler.

        What Happens If You, CharlieTheTraveler, Cancel This Trip?

        In the unlikely event CharlieTheTraveler needs to cancel this trip, such as because of very poor weather conditions, we will give you a full refund for the tour within 14 business days of the cancellation. Note: We are not a participant in the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund, nor is this transaction covered by the Restitution Fund.

        How Do You Help Prepare Us For This Trip?

        You should receive an email from us within 24 hours of purchasing this tour as well as a week before departure. The first email gives details about what to bring, how to prepare yourself, etc. The second email is more like a timetable combined with important contact information.

        Is There Anything Out of the Ordinary I Should Bring on This Trip?

        Bring a mask and motorcycle goggles, to be used to block the dust while riding in the desert. When making daytrips from the colonial city of Cusco, wear a double pair of socks, warm clothes, a thick windbreaker, water-resistant pants (specifically if visiting between December and early April), headwear, a scarf and gloves. It gets cold, particularly in the mornings. On a different note, bring portable oxygen cans, to reduce altitude sickness. Also, if visiting the Amazon, then bring water shoes. Also, bring an external charger for your phone. Electric outages in the Amazon are quite common. Lastly, you may need to bring adapters for your electronic devices.

        Are the Tour Guides Licensed & Will They Be With Me the Entire Time?

        Our tour guides/drivers are licensed, speak English and know how to bring excitement to your day. What we deliver is the complete opposite of the cookie-cutting tours the big corporations offer, leaving you in complete boredom. Although our tour guides/drivers are attentive, accommodating and engaged, they also know when to give you your private space and free time. It's a perfect balance.

        In Which Language(s) is This Tour Offered?

        All of our tours are offered in English. If you prefer another language, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

        Do We Need to Get Our Own Transportation to and From the Airport?

        Absolutely not. We make the arrangements for you.

        Is Someone Available for Us 24-7 While on This Tour?

        Yes! You have your own concierge for this tour who is at your disposal. You could reach this person when you need anything.
