Setours is a genuinely specialist tour operator and not a travel agency with an incoming department. Inbound tour services is our only business. Whether you prefer an escorted tour or a flexible getaway in Peru, you benefit from years of travel knowledge and planning expertise accumulated since 1977, when you travel with us. Tailor-made itineraries meeting all your requirements combined with unbiased advice ensures you get the holiday you really want.

It is the people at Setours who make the difference. Our directors and experienced team members are aimed at transmitting our expertise and our philosophy of commitment to the young generation joining Setours. In order to keep pace with changing quality in infrastructure we regularly conduct inspection trips. The information gathered on the field is then shared with the whole team and later with our clients. Beside of that we strive to provide a comfortable work place and organize activities some to strengthen team spirit and others to share with the community.

Meet the people at Setours

We are genuinely different from most other travel companies. We ensure that our team, as well as our directors, remain up-to-date and in touch by traveling throughout the country, staying in the accommodation we offer, meeting the people who host, guide and transfer our clients, and testing excursions and experiences.

We believe this approach is unique to Setours. It provides our clients with unrivalled and current, in-depth knowledge of our destinations, which is one crucial ingredient in providing the finest possible travel experience.

Moreover our staff on the ground, who constantly feedback new information, complement the knowledge acquired by our sales team in inspection and familiarization trips.

Beside of the knowledge about the traditional journeys in the destinations we offer, we are permanently looking for lesser-known and out-of-the-way attractions for custom made adventures. We like to encourage our travelers to be fully interactive, while still respecting local cultures and customs.

If you are one of those travelers seeking to experience the true land and culture, often overlooked or ignored by many potential visitors, we will glad to give you some ideas for your travel adventure.

We have our headquarters in Lima and a branch office in Cusco. Our privately owned fleet of vans and coaches in these two cities enables us to efficiently handle all ground transport requirements with a high degree of flexibility. The high quality standards are reflected in both fleet maintenance and in the company drivers who are carefully selected and trained. Conscious that comfortable vehicles play a key role (especially) for overland trips we have adjusted our vans and coaches to optimise legroom.

We endeavor to tailor your accommodation to your budget and preferences. The range of accommodation we offer includes luxurious boutique hotels and Amazon lodges, comfortable yacht cabins, hotels full of local character.

We believe that the positive impact generated by the tourism has to be transmitted to the community. At the end of each journey, you(r client) will receive a gift, hand-crafted by one community from Huancayo, not frequently visited by tourism. This small gift not only creates business opportunities but it also contributes to preserve their cultural heritage.

Further we are committed to support initiatives with a focus on sustainability and environment. Waste separation and recycling practices are rather rare in Peru and only a few communities have developed awareness for waste management. Though, at Setours we have adopted waste separation for donation to the organization “A Caminar”. With the generated revenue “A Caminar” funds a feeding program for children in need, providing fresh produce for community kitchens and financial support for technical education of young people. We are proud that we could double the number of collected ‘green bags’ per month in only six months.

We use locally owned services such as hotels and restaurants, paying a fair price for those services. When running adventure trips we follow strict codes of practice to ensure minimum impact on this fragile environment. Especially on the Inca Trail porters play a key role in ensuring a successful and enjoyable trip. We guarantee that trekking crew is well-paid and well-treated. We provide accommodation in tents for guides, cook, porters and/or horsemen, no team member under age of 18, a max. of 18 kg load. A health insurance is provided for porters. Camp waste is hauled out of the trek circuit.

We like to work closely with our partners. We therefore take advantage of every opportunity to meet you wherever you are. We are present at major international travel exhibitions throughout the year.
