I just got back from Peru and had a worthwhile trip with Photo Tours Peru. I booked the 2D/1N tour for Ausangate & Rainbow Mountain with nighttime astrophotography. We were picked up on time the morning of our tour and had a wonderfully cooked breakfast before we started our hike at Ausangate. Half way through the hike my husband started to feel nauseous. We made a decision for him to take a horse to the campsite to be cautious, however, even at the campsite my husband did not feel well. After trying to give him several oxygen pumps, we decided that it was best to leave and head back to Cusco. After several eventful hurdles getting to Cusco in the middle of the night we arrived at Cusco, but had to cancel the second day (rainbow mountain hike). My husband was really devastated to miss out on the astrophotography because it was a perfect night sky to see the milky way. Flavio went above and beyond by rescheduling for us to do an astrophotography session closer to Cusco. Words cannot express our gratitude for him squeezing in a separate session outside of our original tour.
PS – shoutout to David for taking wonderful photos of us during the hike and coaching us with breathing techniques given the altitude

We contacted Flavio for three different tours near Cusco and he was always very helpful and professional in planning everything.
Flavio is a very knowledgeable guide who tirelessly guided... read more us around Machu Picchu and the sacred valley, telling us everything about the Incas and the territory.
Equally exceptional was the organization of our camping in the Andes, where Flavio provided us all the necessary equipment to camp without suffering from the cold and he gave us many tips to not suffer from the altitude. We had a chef, Niko, who pampered us from waking up until nightfall, preparing many delicious dishes!
If we were to go back to Peru, we would definitely contact Flavio again!

August 16, 2019Amazing Guide for Families - We traveled to Peru with our 3 young kids (ages 11, 9, and 7) and Flavio was our guide on 3 separate days. We could not have asked for a... read more better guide. He was always on time, knowledgeable about the cultural history, and fantastic with our kids. He taught us so much about the Sacred Valley, Cuzco, and Machu Picchu, and we all left with a greater understanding of the Incan civilization and the history of Peru. My kids adored him and he was able to tailor his message to teach all of us. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again if we are lucky enough to return to Peru!

Flavio is helpful, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about his country and its history. He is also a photographer and took some amazing photos of me that I was so pleased to bring home. Can't recommend him highly enough!
May 29, 2018Amazing tour filled with history and good photos - We did the 1 day photo tour of Chincherro, Moray, and Ollantaytambo and it was wonderful. Flavio Humiani picked us up at our hotel and immediately was filling us in... read more on the history of the area in great detail. In between stops we learned all about the Incan empire and local culture. We were able to see so much in that one day because he was so prepared and professional and he took us to a great place for lunch which ended up being one of our favorite meals on of the whole trip. I thought the whole tour was a great experience and I will use them again if we decide to come back to South America to go to Bolivia to see the salt flats.
May 2, 2018Wonderful trek leader for photographers - I did a two-day, one-night trek to Rainbow Mountain with Flavio and the Photo Tours Peru team. It was excellent! The food was gourmet and delicious (stuff trout, warm and... read more flavorful soups, etc). Flavio knew the area well and understood my needs as a photographers to move slowly through the landscape, stop often and arrive at the most stunning landscapes just in time for the best light. He also taught me a few new techniques about night photography and working with mountain light. The trek was difficult for my sea level lungs, but he was patient with my hiking pace and helpful all the way. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to do a longer trek.

I had taken photo tours in various countries in the past and always enjoyed them, but hadn't brought my DSLR along on a trip for a while. So I decided... read more to book a tour with Flavio in order to brush up on my skills. I opted for a full-day tour to Chinchero, Maras, Moray & Ollantaytambo and I'm so glad I did! Flavio was flexible, picking me up with a driver at my hotel in Ollantaytambo instead of Cusco. Because it was just me, it was pretty pricey (cost goes down per person if you book as a group), but Flavio was an excellent tour guide, easygoing, and his knowledge of both photography and the history of the local sites made it totally worth it. I got some great photos out of it and learned a lot! In fact, I liked the tour so much that I booked an additional half day tour to the sites around Cusco (Pukapukara, Qengo and Saqsaywaman) a couple of days later!
