Reviews of Peru Family Tours
- Peru Family Experience
The G experience was great! Perhaps a touch too expensive for the hotels we stayed in... But of course that is generally what happens when you don't book them yourself. The restaurants recommended by our guide were great, although meals weren't included. However, our guide was the best! The kids are so difficult to travel with and she handled them brilliantly, and we had such a fun time with her. G is so personable and we would travel with them again.
The tour was very well organized. The tour company would call the hotel and leave reminders which was very helpful. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate about the culture and history which made for great experiences. The transportation was comfortable. We paid for upgraded rooms which was worth it. All but one was amazing and the one that was the exception was still fine. Loved every part of the trip.

Great group of fellow travellers, great Tour! Well organized, great itinerary the experience is second to none. There was a great variety of activities available throughout the tour which took us in really beautiful places. Great value! If you want a worry free experience to view Machu Picchu, book with this tour with Waman Adventures. Erwin, our tour guide, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Peru. I highly recommend to get him as your guide if possible.
What our customers ask about Peru Family Tours
What are the best family-friendly activities and attractions in Peru?
Peru's diverse landscape provides excellent options for families ranging from the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu to cultural experiences in the Sacred Valley. Children can participate in hands-on activities at places like the Golden Sunrise Hotel in Aguas Calientes where local traditions come to life. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The guide made our 13-year-old feel very comfortable and we learned so much about Inka and Peru cultures." Popular activities include meeting llamas and alpacas at the Living Museum of Yucay and exploring the floating islands of Lake Titicaca where local families demonstrate their traditional way of life.
What type of accommodation can families expect on Peru tours?
Most family tours use 3-4 star hotels that cater to families with options for connecting rooms or family suites. The Tierra Viva Cusco and Hilton Garden Inn are well-located choices in Cusco that work well for families. For Amazon visits lodging includes eco-friendly options like G Lodge Amazon which provides basic but clean rooms suitable for children. The Sonesta Posadas del Inca Yucay in Sacred Valley gives children space to run around. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The accommodations were consistently excellent and well-suited for families with good locations and amenities."
What is the minimum age requirement for family tours to Peru?
Tour operators typically welcome children starting at ages 5-6 for Peru family tours. Programs like G Adventures' Peru Family Experience and Trafalgar's Highlights of Peru are designed with school-age children in mind. Amazon portions require children to be at least 6 due to activity requirements. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The kids all loved Leo at the Tambopata Eco lodge." Family-focused hotels like the Hilton Garden Inn Cusco provide amenities that work well for children of various ages.
How physically demanding are family tours in Peru?
Peru family tours maintain a moderate pace that works well for children 5 and older. While visits to Machu Picchu and Cusco's ruins involve walking the schedule includes regular breaks. Most tours use vehicles between major sites to reduce walking distances. The high altitude in Cusco (11152 ft) requires an adjustment period especially for families. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Our guide was brilliant with adjusting the pace for different ages and abilities making sure everyone could enjoy the experience comfortably."
What's the best time of year for families to visit Peru?
The dry season from May to October provides reliable weather for family activities in Peru. July and August align with school breaks but require early booking due to high demand. April-May and September-October offer pleasant conditions with smaller crowds while December through March brings rain and better prices. A TourRadar traveler advised: "We went in July and had perfect weather for exploring Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley though you should book at least 6 months ahead during this popular time."
How should families prepare for altitude differences in Peru?
The high elevations in Peru require careful planning especially with children. Cusco sits at 11152 feet making a 1-2 day adjustment period essential. Places like Ayni Cusco Hotel help guests adjust by offering coca tea. A TourRadar traveler suggested: "We would recommend adding an extra day before the tour to those who need to acclimatize to the altitude." Starting with activities at lower elevations helps families gradually adapt to the altitude.
