Wow, what an amazing experience and tour guide. Our other tour got cancelled two days before and we didn’t think there was a chance we could find anything else decent. Well, we were wrong! Our tour guide, Samuel, was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly. I can’t imagine having had a better experience with our initial tour company. Highly recommend especially if you want to learn about Machu Picchu and its history in detail from a local.

Roy, our guide was super fun and chill except for sometimes he would leave me and my friends behind and had to find them. But overall experience was good. He’s a great photographer and gives a history of Machu Picchu.

Absolutely an amazing trip! We were very worried initially due to all the complexities, but Rony exceeded our expectations and made it totally a smooth process.

"My tour to Machu Picchu was absolutely awesome. Every moment, from the scenic train ride through the Sacred Valley to the breathtaking views atop Huayna Picchu, was filled with wonder and excitement. I couldn't have asked for a more incredible experience."
My husband and I had a lovely day touring Machu Picchu with our superb guide, Fernando. Fernando was a wonderful guide to our group of 8, and made the park entrance process smooth. Fernando was personable and led us through the site at a leisurely pace so we could really take in the beauty. I enjoyed his style of providing historical information along with describing his own personal connections to the site. It did not feel like a lecture but more of a conversation. I came away better understanding the spiritual importance of Machu Picchu because of the emphasis Fernando put on the flora and fauna of the space we were exploring. He was an extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide.
Wonderful experience - visit was amazing. Our guide, Fernando, was a wealth of knowledge. He was patient with the questions our children (9, 11, 17) asked, and went out of the way to take care of our group. Logistics was well coordinated, as long as you understand that though you will have three segments of travel each way (1 - to the rail station w/ driver in a shuttle, 2 - train travel, 3 - bus ride & tour with guide). Bottom line - you won’t have the same person with you for the entire trip, but the handoff between segments is well coordinated. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend using this company for travel.
Fernando was very knowledgeable about the place, and he was extremely patient answering all of our questions and also waiting for us to take photos/helping us get the best spots possible. He also went beyond expectation by helping us settle down at the food place. Definitely recommend him for future tourists!
Fernando was an excellent guide! Really appreciated his depth of knowledge and detail. It was a great trip and I would highly recommend!
Fernando was the BEST tour guide I’ve ever had, he was so knowledgeable about everything we saw and answered all questions thoroughly (even the silly ones) and was so polite with everyone on the tour! You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. Machu Picchi is a beautiful, intricate, and astounding place. So much bigger than I originally expected and you can’t beat the mountain ranges & views! I hope to visit it again soon!
everything went as we were instructed. We had a nice overview of the trip the day before we came fully prepared. The trip was turn key! Buses came on time, trains, depart on time, hike began on time.all the tickets were provided right on time our guide Mijail was the best for this tour he made us enjoy highly recommended.
Our tour to Machu Picchu was excellent. Everything was arranged for us. Fernando was our tour guide. The level of details, the friendliness and knowledge, makes Fernando one of the best. I would recommend 👌.

my partner and i had a wonderful time at Machupicchu ,Ronald as our guide was incredibly amazing,we loved every minute of it ,from beginning to end they were very responsible with what have been told ,our tickets were provided on time and we always been well taken care of ,gracias amigos
The Inca trail and Machu Picchu were amazing. The visit was strenuous and amazing but worth every step. We took lots of pictures and learned about the Incas.highly recommended this tour
I was very satisfied. It was all very organized. There was assistance from the agency at all transport connections as well as at the entrance to Machu Picchu archaeological park. The guide Miguel made an excellent presentation at each point of the route, which was the circuit 1, with a panoramic view of the city. Don't go into town. The guide took care to complement the presentations with a photo album to better illustrate the information. Despite the organization of the tour, there was a 3 hour delay in the return due to the train company. Even so, the agency's guides provided the necessary assistance. Therefore, I recommend not taking the tour if you consider a possible delay in returning to Cusco. I emphasize that the tour requires a certain conditioning of the participants.
After so long we were finally able to make our dream come true! Everything was planned excellently! We enjoyed every moment and we didn't waste any time! We loved it! Very thankful!
Excellent attention despite the difficulties we had to get to the wonder, but it was worth it, everything was done according to what Joseluis told us, tired and worrying but we finally did it, thanks to the entire team of this agency, they were always on hand. pending everything that was happening, if you are planning to come to Peru I recommend this company
