Peru
My 15 year old son and I went to Peru. We did all the things he wanted and he and I were very satisfied.
The best parts:
I am an experienced traveler and gave Evaneos very specific places, goals, activities, and style of traveling. I also gave the same requests to other agencies. Evaneos, specifically Vanessa, understood my objectives and was very patient with my 50 requests and variations. They were also more competitively priced then other agents and in line with me doing it all myself. It's pretty nice having people there at each point to follow through on each part of the trip.
The worst parts:
the worst part was that the accommodations where a bit too nice i like more local places but frankly it was pretty nice to have these nice accommodations.

Peru
Lima--> Arequipa--> Colca Canyon--> Puno--> Cusco--> Agua Calientes--> Puerto Maldonado Arequipa....simply delightful........monastery was unexpected and wonderful The mountains and volcanoes....just amazing...even the altitude! Colca Canyon.....condors...one of life's perfect moments Cusco....delightful city and so much to do. We could happily live there. Short Inca trail and Machupicchu....even better than I had imagined and we had high expectations. Puerto !Maldonado.......we are in love with the jungle.... Please don't let tour companies spoil it by turning the field stations into luxury hotels.
The best parts:
Excellent holiday. We commented that everyday we were there there was something wonderful and exciting. All the guides were excellent, especially Dina who travelled with us from Arequipa to Colca Canyon.....the differences between lamas, alpaca and vicuña will stay with us forever !!! Benja, who did the Inca trail with us was also amazing. A big thank you too to Diego who was so supportive and helpful when our daughter was unwell :)) Our family vote this one of the best holidays we have ever had. Thank you so so much.
The worst parts:
Leaving Peru. The long coach journeys were tough at times as we are prone to travel sickness but these were made easier by the regular stops......there is nothing that Evaneos could have done to help with this! Finding bottled water at a reasonable price! It would be helpful if at each new destination, especially when you get off a flight, a bottle of water could be provided. When we travelled with Evaneos in India this was done and was much appreciated. It would even be fine to have a large bottle that everyone could top up their own from. Getting breakfast with early starts....some hotels are great and will give you a sandwich and piece of fruit and a drink....others, particularly the one in Agua Calientes were difficult.....not ideal when getting up at 3 .30 to stand in the bus queue.

Peru
It was useful to start in Lima and build the altitude up during the trip. My itinerary gave me the chance to see modern and ancient Peru, coastal and jungle, rural and urban. Cusco is a beautiful city in a beautiful setting and of course Machu Picchu is stunning but the trip to the Ballestas Islands was well worth the trip to Paracas.
The best parts:
There wasn't a low point of the trip, every day I did or saw something that made me glad I was there but my favourite part was watching the sun set over the Madre de Dios River after a day on Lake Sandoval watching the birds and wildlife.
The worst parts:
Really nothing

Peru
We had a wonderful time in Peru over the course of 6 days. It was a hastily arranged trip, but the team at Peruvian Sunrise were absolutely amazing. They took care of every single detail and met with us in almost every step of the way. We could not ask for any better service. We achieved all our objectives with this trip thanks to them.
The best parts:
The sights of Peru that we visited were spellbinding.
The worst parts:
Nothing. I loved everything

Peru
Peru is amazing, but to have a great experience it's important to choose right. After long searching, we took the best decision to travel through Evaneos which really chose the best local agency in Peru: Fiorella's agency. Fiorella, our local agent helped us to design a very beautiful experience in Peru starting with Lima, then Rainforest (Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion - Puerto Maldonado), Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Lake Titikaka. Since the first day, we only had very nice experiences wherever we went: hotels, transport, food, trips. It was a no worries trip where everybody took care of us so our only 'worry' being to enjoy Peru's beauty at maximum. We are thinking to return someday in Peru, and if so we will definitely choose the same travel agency.
The best parts:
The best.... it's hard to choose, but if I have to: we loved the jungle,the Rainforest, the experience at Inkaterra Hacienda Conception: the guide, Victor, very well prepared and very friendly; the restaurant : we enjoyed the best food in Peru ( crème de la crème) and stayed in a private bungalow with a lagoon view that gave us the chance to see the wildlife, the birds and nature beauty of the jungle from our room.
The worst parts:
Our experience with Evaneos through Firoella's agency was very good.... nothing to complain about

Peru
Our trip started in Lima, where we spent a few days to sample the city culture visiting the historic centre and the tourist area of Mirafloris. We then caught a bus down to Paracas to spend a day on the beach in Paracas and then a speed boat trip to the fabulous Islas Bellestas. Then we flew to Puerto Maldonados to spend two nights in the rain forest at the Inkaterra Hiciendas Conception, truly beautiful place, wonderful guides and very atmospheric. Did not see as much wildlife as I expected in the jungle though. Then it was off to Machu Picchu via the scared valley, the scenery was unbelievable , and Machu Picchu lived up to all expectations. The last few days was in Cusco, but the altitude contributed to feeling very tired the last day! The Agency were our guides through out the trip, and it all ran like clockwork , they were excellent
The best parts:
To see a vast variety of different places in Peru, from Rain Forest , to Peaks, to beaches and cities.
The worst parts:
Feeling of altitude sickness in Cusco

Peru
exploration and sight seeing were top priorities including sand dunes, wine production, Amazonian rain forest, Machu Picchu, walking around the Inca capital of Cusco, volcano and condor country, Lake Titicaca, the salt flats and Siloli desert in Bolivia, and the world's most dangerous road bike descent.
The best parts:
a fabulous trip to Peru and Bolivia encompassing many fantastic days in wonderful scenery with helpful guides and a very efficiently run programme.
The worst parts:
one taxi driver and one guide were slightly substandard - that is all, and not bad for 22 day all action trip.

Peru
we really enjoyed the holiday and everything was well organised and went like clock work. Very have happy with the responsivness of the agent and he sorted out a question of park entry fees while we were on holiday in a quick and efficient manner. I would recommend him to others.
The best parts:
We saw everything that we wanted, and the trip went very smoothly
The worst parts:
More info about the basic accomodation in Bolivia. In our case basic was no hot water, no towels, basic bedding and a shared room with six people in it. This was not made clear to us what basic meant.
