Only companies that meet the Uncompromised Travel definition of luxury are on this page: they mainly sell private trips planned to order at a luxury standard, publish prices of about US$500 per person per day or more, run groups of 16 or fewer in luxury hotels, or run their own small expedition ships or yachts.

Who to contact first

Start with the 3 companies on this page that name a scheme protecting your payments on their own websites, then add any other card that fits your dates.

What to ask each one to set out in writing:

  • What the price includes and excludes, line by line: stays, guides, transfers, internal flights, park or entry fees.
  • The deposit, when the balance is due and what you lose if you cancel.
  • Which scheme protects your money and the number to check it.

Peru family trips with teenagers: the questions people ask

What should I ask a tour company before booking?

What the price includes, line by line; the deposit and when the balance is due; what you lose if you cancel; and which scheme protects your money.

Do these companies publish prices?

Some do on their trip pages and some quote only on request. The cards give what each company says; ask for a written quote with the same inclusions from each.

Which of these companies protect my money if they fail?

3 of the 19 name a protection scheme on their own websites: Audley Travel, Cazenove+Loyd and Lightfoot Travel. Check the number with the scheme itself before you pay.

Which of these have Trustpilot profiles?

10 of the 19: Audley Travel, Brown + Hudson, Butterfield & Robinson, Cazenove+Loyd, GeoEx, Jacada Travel, Quasar Expeditions, SA Expeditions, Tauck and Voyageurs du Monde. Each card gives the TrustScore, the review count and the newest review date, read 3 November 2026.

Which of these have the most Google reviews?

Metropolitan Touring, SA Expeditions and Audley Travel, in that order. A count says how many people reviewed a company, not whether it fits your trip; each card gives the rating and count, read 3 November 2026.

Where can I check these facts myself?

Each card links the pages of the company's own website its lines were read from, with the date they were read.

How were these companies chosen?

Each one is in the Uncompromised Travel luxury tour operators table, built from the luxury tour operators ChatGPT names most often; its own website names a Peru trip and says it plans family trips that take teenagers. A company is on the page because its published facts fit the question, never because it paid.

Is any company on this page paying to be here?

No. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel; none paid to be on it.

Built to answer the question in the main heading. What is shown: what each company published on its own website, read on 3 November 2026, with links to the pages read, with its Google and Trustpilot figures where the listing carries the company's own name, from the Uncompromised Travel luxury tour operators table.
