The trip was excellent, we had 24/7 support and guidance from Aline (Peru Top Experience) who, besides giving us instructions for the tours, also gave us daily tips about places like restaurants, cafes, free day trips, etc... We were very well supported. Highly recommended!
Unique experience!!! A dream trip and totally recommended. Peru Top Experience, in the person of Mileny, were attentive to every detail and requirement!! MAGNIFICENT!!
Excellent attention and willingness from Aline..
It was my first visit to Peru, and meeting Machu Picchu was a dream of years ago. The experience was fascinating: the place, its culture, its food, its people and all its attractions are just amazing. The Peru Top Experience agency made everything even more special, organizing every detail clearly and kindly, always providing us with facilities. I am especially grateful to Aline Nascimiento, who received us from the airport and was watching us throughout the stay. In the end, the detail and the certificate he gave us were a very nice gesture that is really appreciated. Undoubtedly an unforgettable experience.
The agency is very helpful, including the employee Aline answered me all the time no matter the time. I liked the reception until the exit.
A fantastic experience, the reception, the guides, the places have left us shocked and satisfied, as if to return again, a special thanks to Rosaura
We booked the tour for 5 days with Mileny by WhatsApp, a quick attention and good explanation of the tour, they always kept an eye on each day of crossing and personalized attention in airport transport, guides and tours for each day. Super recommended!
You have to be aware of the height those who are not used to it, there are alternatives of solution nonetheless. The weather's not that harsh. Suitable clothing not so heavy. Be in the peak moments relaxed!
Beautiful experience thanks to the Service provided by the Enterprise. They complied with everything set out in the package. Steve provided us with accompaniment and support throughout the trip, until the last day where he surprised us with a beautiful present on behalf of the Enterprise. During the tour we were accompanied by the excellent guide Manuel who was with us every day. I highly recommend this Enterprise and the services they provide. Peru To Experience makes the trip much more enjoyable thanks to the great organization they have.
Excellent experience. Everything was as promised at the time of contracting the Service. For me very good surprise the gastronomy on the mountain. Total willingness during the crossing to Salkantay of Manuel Latorre our guide, of Felix the cook before our requirements regarding the menu. Special mention for Steven Castro for his assistance before, during and after the tour.
From the moment of arrival when Steven met us until the last day we felt accompanied. The attention is amazing, they are always aware of any need and respond instantly. Our guide Manuel Latorre who accompanied us on the mountain was excellent, providing tips and all the help we need to make the experience the best. Very happy with all the staff (felix the cook, ruben the arrowman, citytour guide Jimmy) and the Service provided.
The experience of this excursion was very challenging for us, as the second day was very demanding, and we doubted if we would succeed but the accompaniment of our guide Willman was more than strategic and container. I did a part on horseback, which is an adventure plus experience. Transitioning this experience is unforgettable. The service from the start with Rosmeri was excellent, and during the trip with Wilman, (guide), Ruben (horseman) and Felix (cook) we felt feted all the time. I have a gluten-free diet and Felix cooked for me and others in a very careful and professional way. We rented the sleeping bags with distrust, and they were spotless with an internal cover that makes it super hygienic. It's just thanks to all of them, who took care of us and gestured towards us from start to finish.
Everything is beautiful and recommended. The service, the guide, the cook and his exquisite food, the kindness of everyone! Agency information and attention too!
I contacted this agency from Chile, from the beginning they attended me very well orientated me in everything regarding my trip, as I travel alone, they went to visit me at the hotel explained what all the activity consisted of and delivered useful things for my personal use, always a great concern at all times
Dream fulfilled with this Agency, at all times we feel well accompanied. And thank you very much Mileny we will soon meet again
Amazing attention and care of every detail! Lucia was always super attentive to all our queries and was taking care that the experience is unforgettable. Super recommended.
I did the Salkantay road with my girlfriend and we went with Peru Top Experience on Recommendation of friends. The tour is spectacular, although demanding. I recommend making sure you are in good physical condition to enjoy it. You will know the “natural” part of the road to Machu Picchu (unlike the Inca Trail which is more cultural). — Separate paragraph for our Guide William, a freak. In addition to knowing a lot about Inca history and the road, he is a super friendly, companion and didactic person. He has a lot of insight to understand the needs of the group and adapt the trip to them. Together with Fausto (our cook), they made a great team, super resolute (they helped me recover money that I had forgotten in a camp hours away by coordinating the solution between those responsible for different camps so that one would give me the money I had left in the other), and made sure that we were always comfortable and at ease. I recommend you ask to travel with the two of you! You will not regret :)
We did the 4 day Salkantay trek and it was amazing! We walked through the mountain seeing spectacular scenery until we reached Aguas Calientes, where the reward on the last day was to reach Machu Picchu. I recommend taking the entrance to Waynapicchu! Special thanks to William who accompanied us step by step telling us in detail all about Cuzco and its culture and of course everything about Machu Picchu. Ask that the tour be with him! And with Faust, the chef. They're a great team!
This experience was the best that could have happened to me, I didn't know I needed this trip until I did it, the hike from Salkantay to Machupicchu was a great choice. The landscapes were incredible, the path beautiful and the company unmatched. The attention that those from Peru Top Experience gave us was the best, the best food and the best stay. A trip that can reunite you with yourself and without a doubt you would repeat it again.
Excellent service, the guide is very cool and willing to help. Punctual and very reliable. I really liked the food offered, and the good attention of the agency workers.
It was an incredible experience that I would gladly repeat. The views are spectacular, the path to get there is very beautiful.
An excellent experience, the tour was perfect. Dharnely's attention was spectacular, very attentive at all times. Without a doubt, the experience is incredible and the attention in particular is quite precise.
It is one of the best experiences I have been able to enjoy, highly recommended TOP experience Peru they have planned it wonderfully.
