Must Do experience with Elis and Yober! - We had a great tour with guide Elisben and driver Yober! The tour was a fully private experience in a spacious car. They provided water and snacks, in addition to a very yummy breakfast and lunch at a lodge. At Humantay Lake, Elisben took many photos and videos for our group (and brought a surprise prop that made our photos even better). You can also opt to go up the lake on horseback which I highly recommend. Elisben was very knowledgeable and took as many breaks as we needed while walking. As someone with health problems, I felt very safe knowing we had our guide.

Best tour of humantay lake - It was the best tour we had in all of Peru. Elisvan was such a genuine and amazing tour guide. He made touring humantay lake such a beautiful experience, and connected us with the local culture in a life changing way. We had Elisvan as our tour guide and Yober as our driver. They were both amazing.

A high quality tour company - This is the second tour we have done with Peru Private Tours and we couldn’t rave about them enough. This is the only tour company that we could find that didn’t have a 4am pick up. They were very prompt in the morning. They provided snacks, a yummy breakfast and a delicious three course lunch. Elisvan’s suggestion of zigzagging up the mountain really helped. Elisvan and Marco were excellent! It ended up being a private tour which was great. We enjoyed taking turns picking songs to listen to on the way back. We couldn’t ask for a better experience.
