My daughter and I have gone on a handful of "virtual" tours with Aspiring Adventures/Cooee! during the pandemic. The team has been; wonderful, professional, accommodating, enthusiastic and knowledgable! We love working and traveling with them so much, we will continue to travel the world with them and also give the virtual tours as gifts to other people! We highly recommend taking a tour! This is a wonderful opportunity to see parts of the world you may never have the opportunity to visit, or use it as an appetizer to actually travel to that specific part of the world someday!

This was my first trip with Aspiring Adventures and it was way more than I was expecting. They take you on an adventure you would never be able to do without them. My wife and I experienced Peru through the back door seeing its majesty from the seat of a mountain bike with the amazing tour guide Wilhen. I can't say enough about our guide, he was caring and attentive and made the trip super fun. He was very knowledgeable about the area and made sure each of us were doing well riding at our experience level. I'd do another vacation with Aspiring in a heartbeat.
Embarking on the trip to Peru, we weren’t sure what to expect. Katy had given us a lot of information to prepare us but we wondered, “what if she forgot some details?” Thank you Katy, we were WELL prepared! Aspiring adventures went above and beyond and made this an amazing trip to remember. Our guides (Wilhen & Raul), our driver (Walter), the chefs, porter....all very professional and personable throughout the entire trip. And the food....wow!! Very well done by Johan and his crew! To tell you how amazing Wilhen and Raul are....I celebrated my birthday while we were on the trip and they went out of their way to find a Gluten-free, dairy-free birthday “cake!” They showed up with it in the morning when they came to pick us up for the days adventure. The celebration continued throughout the day and ended with a special dinner presented by Gigi, the profiteer of an enchanting bed & breakfast. Wilson and Raul paid close attention and customized our rides to our level of riding and showed us so much of the Peru countryside and shared their incredible knowledge of the history and customs of the regions. Recounting the trip there were so many “high points” that it’s difficult to pinpoint which to share. Traveling along many of the branches of the Inca trail, encountering “traffic jams” comprised of herds of sheep and Andean villagers, experiencing the true flavor of Peru! Every detail was to be treasured. We had an absolutely memorable trip and felt like we got to experience a side of Peru many will never see. Thank you to all of you at Aspiring!! You all rock!!
My words are going to be totally inadequate to describe the quality of our experience with Aspiring Adventures. We have just completed our travel adventure in Peru and my entire interaction with Aspiring Adventures was absolutely amazing. Save yourself time and energy. You must use them for your adventure. They will help you design the exact custom trip that you want giving you loads of advice based on their experience. You will never have to worry about the logistics of your trip. All aspects of our trip from the planning stage to the execution stage were exemplary. Everyone involved with Aspiring Adventures was so thorough, knowledgeable and professional. But, most importantly, they really cared about us as people and really cared about making our travel experience memorable. Katy, who is an owner, took a hands on active role in helping us plan and execute our trip. Her knowledge of the local area, hotels, restaurants and culture are beyond belief. She is a wonderful person and a treasure. Luis, our guide, was even more amazing. His knowledge of the area, the culture, the customs, the history, the plant and wildlife was incredible. They were always willing to alter the itinerary to accommodate our wishes. There were many extra special things they did for us that was not part of the agreed itinerary that made our trip even more special. I will never be able to thank them enough for making this trip one of the best experiences of our lifetime.
I worked with Aspiring Adventures for months leading up to our recent trip to Peru. Katy never tired of answering my emails or making changes to our working itinerary. When we were actually on our trip, unanticipated road bumps ( a very late arriving flight due to weather, a national strike) were deftly handled by the team. The drivers and guides arranged by Aspiring were absolutely top notch - kind, knowledgeable, and flexible. They felt like family as soon as we met them. These folks are the best in the business.
If you want to see Peru thru the back door then Aspiring Adventures is the team you want to use. Each day we took the road less traveled allowing us to enjoy everything Peru has to offer. Aspiring Adventures takes care of the logistics of each day and compliments each day with magical surprises and experiences. The Mt Biking trip allows you to be closer to the scenery, the people that we run across along the way and really experience the country. A bit like trekking except that you get to cover more ground. Our chiefs during the 2 nights of camping where absolutely amazing. I would say the meals they created for us was the best food we had during the whole trip. Our guide Wilhen was an absolutely wonderful person to be around. The perfect guide for our trip. We felt like we had known him for years and felt like family by the end of the trip. It was truly a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun epic adventure that you will never forget.
The Aspiring Adventures Team helped me create a "trip of a lifetime". Steve and Katy helped me do the planning on short notice and took care of all the logistics quickly, competently and with a cheerful attitude. My Guide, Aldo, is a gem. He is knowledgeable in archeology, history, natural history, horticulture and many other topics. He is also a very kind and generous man. We were together for 10 days and I am proud to call him my friend. Near the end of the trip, I had to make some changes. The A/A team responded efficiently and helped me end the trip successfully. I highly recommend Aspiring Adventures. They are true professionals.
