Machu Picchu Panoramic Circuits Tour From Cusco

David was absolutely AMAZING! From start to finish, he made our experience unforgettable. He was incredibly patient with our group, extremely knowledgeable, and had such a great way of making history come alive. He made learning interactive, engaging, and genuinely fun. We never felt like we were just listening to a lecture! We also felt incredibly safe and well taken care of throughout the entire tour. David was attentive to our group’s needs, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. And as if that wasn’t enough, David has an AMAZING eye for photography! He captured some of the most beautiful photos of our group and somehow managed to get all the perfect angles and moments. We left with not only incredible memories, but beautiful pictures to remember them by. If you’re visiting Machu Picchu, BOOK WITH DAVID! You will not regret it. He was truly one of the highlights of our trip and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Our day visiting Machu Picchu was absolutely unforgettable! We were accompanied by our guide, David, and followed Circuit 3, which offered an incredible perspective on this iconic site. Walking through the ancient terraces and stone paths, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery, felt truly magical. David’s deep knowledge and storytelling really brought the place to life — from the history of the Inca civilisation to the spiritual significance of the different temples and structures. He answered all our questions with passion and detail, helping us to appreciate the genius and mystery behind this world wonder. We were also lucky with the weather, which was clear and sunny, making the experience even more enjoyable. Being able to explore at a relaxed pace, take in the views, and feel the energy of Machu Picchu was something we’ll never forget. We can only recommend visiting Machu Picchu with a knowledgeable local guide like David — it truly makes all the difference in understanding and connecting with this extraordinary place.

David is one of the best tour guides in Peru. He took care of all our request. We stayed at the best hotels we had door-to-door service. We stayed at Hotel Nobility in Lima, Hilton Garden and Sonesta in Cusco, Hotel Jose Antonio in Puno. We took the expedition Perurail as it was night time and vistadome on our way back to Cusco. This was a good suggestion. Every included lunch option was well thought of and we enjoyed our food in Lima, Ica, Machu Picchu! The views were amazing! All entrances were paid for. We had requested less hiking on our trip due to various age groups, and he made sure that he didn’t have to hike as much. He was equipped with oxygen at rainbow mountain and always made the right suggestions for a group. I highly recommend her services and appreciate everything. He has done for us on this trip. Number one travel agency for your trip in Peru.

Peruvian Culture Tours gave my family and me one of the best travel experiences we've ever had. We booked this tour to learn more about Machu Picchu, and our guide, David Quispe Baez, exceeded every one of our expectations. From the beginning to the end of the trip, David did everything in his ability to make us feel cared for with meticulous preparation, seamless arrangements, and attention to every detail so that we could fully enjoy the experience. His expertise is extraordinary: as someone of Incan descent who even speaks the native Quechua language, he brought the history and culture of Machu Picchu to life in a deeply moving manner. He didn't just share facts - he spoke to us in stories, connected the past to the present, and allowed us to truly feel the spirit of this incredible place. If I could have David guide every tour in Peru, I absolutely would. His professionalism, kindness, and passion for his culture make him truly one of a kind. I cannot recommend Peruvian Culture Tours enough - by supporting this small, hardworking business, you're not only guaranteeing yourself an unforgettable trip but also helping them continue to grow and provide for their families. Thank you, David, for giving us memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

This was an incredible experience. Our tour guide, Ruben, was very patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. We learned so much information about the Inca civilization.

My local tour guide (David) He’s so nice. Take care us all the way trip long. Picked us up at the airport and he got us to know about history of Machu Picchu. We appreciate all trip long. We recommend to use Peruvian Culture Tours and you won't be disappointed.

Cannot put a higher rating than the 5 stars but if I could I would. My guide David was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and unbelievably kind. Really detailed in his explanations and does not rush. Also make sure that you feel comfortable, that everything is taken care of in the planning. He really takes care of you.

David was an exceptional guide and went above and beyond. Made everything clear and the whole day was seamless. Would gladly recommend this to anyone!

If you want to travel without any troubles and no worries, you should book with Peruvian Culture Tours. David was amazing. I did the 3 Day Machu Picchu tour with him and he prepared everything in advance and came to my hostel the evening before to explain the journey. Also during the journey he was always happy to help and found flexible solutions, for example when I wanted to change from circuit 3 to circuit 2 last minute.

David was an excellent guide and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond

I was incredibly fortunate to have David as my guide for Machu Picchu. From the very beginning, it was clear that David's knowledge and passion for the site went far beyond the typical historical facts. He not only shared the rich history of Machu Picchu but also gave us fascinating insights into contemporary archaeological projects happening there, offering a deeper understanding of the site's ongoing significance. David, who founded Peruvian Culture Tours with his wife, puts such care and attention into every detail. His expertise, combined with his warm, welcoming nature, made us feel comfortable and completely engaged throughout the entire day. He brought the ancient city to life, pointing out details we would have missed and answering all of our questions with enthusiasm. David is an indigenous guide and runs a thoughtful business rooted in a deep personal knowledge of the region. He is also a truly incredible person to know/have in your life. If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable experience at Machu Picchu, I cannot recommend David and Peruvian Culture Tours highly enough.

We completed the 5 day Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu, and the final day was absolutely incredible. After 4 days of strenuous hiking, we decided to take the stairs up to Machu Picchu rather than take a bus. When we arrived at the top, our wonderful guide, David, was there to meet us, and reserved the best circuit for us. This circuit provided the most extensive tour of the religious sites in Machu Picchu, and David’s knowledge of the Inca people, Machu Picchu, and the history of the entire region outshined every other tour group we passed. This was more educational than any book you could read on this wonder of the world - David’s unique knowledge and ability to answer every question left us more in awe than when first seeing the site. Peruvian culture tours is an amazing operation run by an Indigenous family, and it is a wonderful way to support sustainable tourism. We will never forget this experience, or David! 10/10.

The tour guide was epic There every step of the way from before the trip, explaining everything. Making sure all transport was sorted even with delays. Extremely caring and that human touch was epic!!! Honestly these guys were amazing to take the stress of planning away from you.

If you’re thinking of doing any kind of tour in Peru you need to do it with Peruvian Culture Tours! My group and I did the Condor Chonta day tour and the Incan Jungle Trek. Both of these trips were fantastic all due to our wonderful tour guide David and the team at Peruvian Culture Tours! David is the best tour guide you could ask for. His enthusiasm and passion for Incan history and Peru are obvious and made our trip one we’ll never forget! I really think that I learned more with him as our guide than I would from other guides. He’s a local and his love of the land really increases your appreciation of Peru and its history. He is able to point out all the plants and animals along the journey (and makes sure you get to try some delicious fruits). This company makes sure that their tours benefit the small communities living in the Andes and the stray dogs in Cusco. As a tourist, it feels great knowing your money is going to a good cause. Peruvian Culture Tours makes sure you don’t have to worry about a single thing during your tour. All the food we had was delicious and they made sure we’d never be hungry! On the Incan jungle trek you get to do multiple activities like white water rafting, hiking, and biking. I loved the variety of activities and each was so fun! They made sure everything went smoothly, from luggage transport to timing. They really go the extra mile to make sure you have a good experience. They even picked us up from the train station after our tour had technically ended! I really can’t recommend this tour company enough. You’ll get to learn so much about Peru and its history and have a great time doing it! I wouldn’t have wanted to visit Peru any other way!

This tour, our guide David, and the company are amazing!! After meeting other travelers and hearing about their experiences, I'm convinced this was the best way to see Peru. You'll do a wide variety of activities that are both physical and not; we journeyed from Cusco to Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, and finally Aguas Calientes by biking and hiking through the mountains. We tasted (and roasted!) coffee grown in the cloud forest, picked mandarins and passionfruit off the trees along the Inca trail, listened to our tour guide's stories/info and asked all of our burning questions, and ate many delicious meals. [BTW, I was amazed at how little I had to worry about food along the way... there were plenty of stands selling fruit and snacks, and our tour guide had booked our meals in advance so we ate at restaurants along the journey with almost no wait time, which was perfect since we were starving from the hikes! Also, I am vegetarian and the tour company made sure every place we ate at during the tour was able to accommodate.] The physical activity was intense at times but David made sure that we were comfortable and was able to cater to our ability and how we were feeling that day (especially given the altitude.) Longer hikes were broken up with plenty of stops for rest, as well as activities like coffee tasting. David himself is wonderful. He is kind, knowledgeable, patient, and funny. He’s worked in tourism since 2011 and you can definitely tell… not only did he have extensive knowledge about flora & fauna in Peru and Incan culture/history, but he managed our small group very well. He told us everything we needed to know the night before each day of the tour, and had good tips for things like altitude sickness. Felt really safe with him guiding my friends and I. Also, my birthday fell on the last day of our tour and he bought us a cake to celebrate!! In all, this tour was an unforgettable experience. You are missing out if you do not see Peru through this company! I can’t wait to come back. P.S.: If you’re someone who cares about ethical tourism, this is the company to go with. It’s owned by locals and supports locals. The best choice by far!

Amazing experience. We went to Machu Pichu with David as part of a larger tour with Peruvian Culture Tours. David took care of everything and was brimming with knowledge of the Incans and the significance of Machu Pichu. My friends and I got to relax, and enjoy and learn about this ancient wonder with no stress whatsoever. So much fun! Definitely recommend!

Incredible tour of Macchu Picchu with David. The guide gave us a wonderful and thorough tour and was extremely sensitive to our needs and preferences. I would absolutely recommend this to everyone, it is fun and informative and the guide took such good care of us. Thank you David, I’ll be coming back with my family to do the same tour again.

One of the 7 wonders of the world, it was an amazing tour with David as he explained all of the Inca history and how Machu Picchu began! The whole process was seamless and going early helped to have more time to explore and see the beautiful llamas. Thanks for the thought provoking and deep conversations about my ancestral roots!

We loved the day in Machu Picchu with David! He was very knowledgeable, well-prepared and really friendly. Him and his company organised the entire day-trip for us and it flowed incredibly well, going to the extent of taking us back to our hotel after Inca Rail dropped us off in Cusco. He made sure to emphasize how it was our tour and tailored the day to our choices. We even took a bit longer in Machu Picchu then we had planned but not once did we feel rushed by David. I can only thank David and his wife for organising such an incredible trip for us. Booking with David is an incredible experience and you will also be helping a local family prosper and grow their small business. We also loved to hear about all the work he does for the dogs in his community. Just make sure to confirm which circuit will be booked, they initially booked circuit 1 but it is circuit 2 and 3 that include the main sites. Thank you David!

Excellent service and attention, from the beginning of contact with the agency. Very organized!! The excellent David Guide!!
