Fantastic tour. Good guide and well planned logistic arrangements made this trip memorable
We had timely pickup on first day. Maras - Moray and Salt Mines tour is good. Cars and trains were coordinated so no waiting. Guides were great. Very professional guides and very well organized. Didn't like the hotel so much at Aguas Calientes. But the trip to Inca citadel of Machu Picchu was amazing. We were lucky to have good weather condition to get some great pictures as memories.

Great Tour with beautiful sights
Awesome Awesome tour! The only issue we had was our guide cancelled last minute and we were made aware around 7:30pm night prior. A new guide was assigned and they combined our solo tour with another person! She was very nice and kind and we had a great day!
