        5 stars tour
        Christopher_K, Apr 2024
        5 stars tour. Our tour guides are very knowledgeable, friendly helpful and really take care of our needs. We enjoy the tour very much
        Awesome views with awesome guide
        Anonymous, Apr 2024
        Our guide, Efrain, he is the best guide you can get! He could be the history teacher of Inca, he is very knowledgable. It was a wonderful trip. The trip is a life time experience and views across all different sites. Especially Machupicchu, must see!
        Great Tour, Super People, but a Few Issues
        alan, Apr 2024
        Fabulous tour guides, but there were multiple communication (not language related) and logistical issues. There were additional expenses we had not been informed about and we weren’t told we would be traveling on our own for portions of the trip, which came as a surprise and turned out to be a hassle. Everyone's from the tour company was very friendly, caring and accommodating. I would have given this 5 stars if not for our issues. We also were’t happy with the hotel in Aguas Calientes. It was a 3 star as promised and super convenient with very nice people, but the rooms were very run down.
        Highly Recommend!
        Douglas_L, Apr 2024
        What a wonderful company to work with. So many details are necessary to get to Machu Picchu, worth having a guide to make sure you are everywhere you need to be and that all the details are accounted for. Expensive, but worth every penny!
        Excellent snapshot of the Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu experience
        Karen_K, Mar 2024
        Alex, our Machu Picchu guide, was fabulous - excellent info, patient with our somewhat challenging physical condition, excellent English, and had a route laid out that avoided some of the most tourist congested areas. Efraim, on the first day, was also very good. Scheduling, pick up/drop off, communication, tour site organization, lunch/breakfast were all very good. Only real negative was the hotel - 2 adults in a full size bed!? Definitely upgrade to better accommodations!
        Excellent Tour

        Well Organized Two Day Tour of Major Spots
        Baco_B, Mar 2024
        It was a return trip for me to peru but I wanted to share the experience with my son so we did this excursion. we were not disappointed. We had a great first day with Manuel where we say the major spots along the sacred valley. The second day was with Alex and he delivered a memorable tour of Machu Picchu. Great background from local guides and lot of "not in the book" history.

        Excellent trip with the very good tour guide and we are lucky to have a nice weather on the mountain. We are very enjoy the trip.
        Wonderful experience
        Alayne_P, Mar 2024
        Extremely organized tour! They were very clear about our itinerary, which I loved! We had a couple of guides over the course of two days, Alex and Efrain, who were both professional, knowledgeable, and gave us ample time to take photos. We saw SO much thanks to this company - I don’t think we could have done all of the sites without them!! :)
        Great tour
        Rebecca_K, Feb 2024
        We had an amazing 2 days on this tour. Ephraim (Effie) was our guide - he was so knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions we had. We toured the Sacred Valley the first day. The salt mines, Ollantaytambo,and the terraces were all amazing and we got to try chicha at the terraces. The only disappointing thing was that the buffet restaurant they took us to for lunch wasn’t very vegetarian-friendly. It had some vegetarian items (potatoes, etc) but many were in the same container with meat - very odd. They did have good mixed fruit though. We ended the day with a panoramic train ride up to Aguas Calientes. The next day was the tour of Machu Picchu, and it didn’t disappoint! First we hiked up above to a lookout point over Machu Picchu and had a great view of the site, then we walked through the ruins. Effie was wonderful explaining about how the various areas were used and the lives of the people who lived there. I highly recommend this tour and Effie as a tour guide.
        Bucket list worthy trip
        MARTHA_P, Feb 2024
        Carefully planned itinerary. Well structured vacation by the travel agency. Knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo were breathtaking. No wonder Machu Picchu is one of the seven wonders of the world.
        Great tour and guides
        Jason_C, Feb 2024
        It was all a great experience. The guides were great. The entire experience from hotel pick up to small group, buses and trains were a safe experience
        Fantastic experience!
        Rafael_J, Feb 2024
        My tour was incredible! The tour guide spoke very good english and could explain im very rich details the history of every site. The driver was also very kind and careful. The entire trip was as seamless as it could possibly be. I totally recommend this tour.
        Amazing Tour Experience
        Birva_B, Feb 2024
        Truly such an amazing tour. Organization was top tier, took the stress out of having to find transportation and hotel accommodations ourselves. Efrain and Rebecca, our tour guides were knowledgeable on Peru’s history and answered any questions we had. Would 100% recommend; well worth the money.
        It was an amazing experience
        Mili_D, Feb 2024
        The overall experience was wonderful; all schedules were on time, and the tour guides were very professional and helped us better understand the local history. Definitely will recommend it to my friends
        Very organized tour, amazing guides
        Nathan_W, Feb 2024
        We had a great time on this tour, everything was well planned out and organized for our group! The night before the trip, Jhordy came to our hotel to run through logistics, and was accommodating of our schedules as we had other activities planned. We got the full run through, and all the tickets/papers we needed as well as what we should plan to bring ourselves. During the tours themselves, our tour guide was Efrain (or Effy) the first day, and Miguel on the second. Both did an amazing job of showing us around, explaining what we were seeing without a lot of fluff, and answered all the questions we had about the history of each site. Trip was awesome, guides were awesome, would recommend highly
        An experience that exceeded my expectations 100x

        Thanks to Orlando for the one day tour around the sacred valley. He’s very caring to us because we were experiencing altitude sickness. He understands our situation and helps us to arrange to go slow but yet managed to cover everything at our own pace. The one night stay in Machu Picchu was good, our tour guide Alex is the best of the best. He is so sincere and passionate about the history and his work. Most importantly he did discussed with us, how slow we want to do this. Cos it was raining in the morning. He suggested we wait for half an hour. Which we agreed to that. When the rain stop, we went up. He told us to go very slow and try to absorb every corner every steps along the path. He never once try to rush us. We spent three hour plus up there in Machu Picchu. Taking all the photos and videos we wanted, asking all the questions we are curious about. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in explaining the story of inka and Machu Picchu to us. He made the tour super fun. And made us fall in love with Machu Picchu in a deeper way. Thank you Alex and Orlando. I will definitely recommend this tour to my family and friends
        An amazing experience
        Antigany_T, Jan 2024
        We loved every moment of this trip. A representative met us the evening before the trip with our tickets and detailed itinerary. He took the time to explain stop everything for which we were very grateful. The trip has a few moving parts where we we’re responsible for being at the correct place at the correct time to catch a train or meet a new guide. This was immensely helpful. Our guide and driver the first day were great, extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. The ladies in Chinchero were so kind and informative, meeting them was absolutely a highlight. I want to highlight our guide for Machu Picchu, Alex. He was so accommodating and really took interest in how we wanted to see the Machu Picchu. It was rainy and foggy when we arrived and he had the best advice on where to wait to get the best photos. He took the time to explain in such detail and we could tell he is very passionate about his work.
