This experience was incredible. The company’s organization of the details was impeccable. We were notified of everything and had all the necessary documents needed to transition from one activity to another. The sites we visited were beautiful, and we had sufficient time to explore.
The highlight were the guides for each part of the trip. In Cusco, Effy (sp) was friendly and provided quite a bit of information about the history of the country and all of the sites we visited. Our guide, Carlos, in Aguas Calientes, was simply INCREDIBLE! He was extremely informative and patient as we explored. He took great pictures of us at different points, and he was a joy to spend the early morning hours with for this tour. Both of these guides were fantastic, but Carlos was honestly one of the best tour guides we have ever had. If you book this tour, ask for these gentleman.

This was such an excellent tour! I highly recommend this operator and that visitors take this tour to visit these areas.
It was virtually seamless and easy. The logistics and transports - from hotel pick-up to tours to meals to trains to hotels to busing - were all taken care of. This can affect your entire trip if you try to do this on your own as a foreigner and don’t get it right, so save yourself the aggravation and book the tour. All we had to think about was enjoying our trip and the price was reasonable for everything you get.
Justino was our guide on day one. He was very personable and knowledgeable, and made the longer road trips in between sites fun.
Velma was our guide on day two at Machu Picchu and was also very knowledgeable and patient. Our group obviously wanted to take pictures at all the sites and she made sure we all had a great experience and memorable photos.

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!

We had an excellent experience witnessing the magic of Machu Pichu and more. Our guide, Orlando, went ABOVE and BEYOND making sure that all of us are very comfortable. He made sure we are informed of the itinerary and the details of the tour. He is very knowledgable about the history of Peru; and he integrated and shared his own insights with regards to current Peruvian everyday life. He volunteers to take our photos, and sometimes even carry our bags / drinks. We were also lucky to have a great small tour group which made the experience even better. This is a shoutout to James, Enza, Nikita, Michel, and Manu! We were a great group bonded together in laughter for 48 hours. My partner and I figured, that it could take 1 person in a tour group to ruin the whole experience! This tour is definitely a must. If you have a chance, do request for Orlando to be your Machu Pichu / Sacred Valley guide. Kudos !

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.

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!

Had a wonderful day touring the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. I was initially skeptical about the price. However, our guide and driver picked us up on time. They took time to care for my daughter when she was feeling car sick. They allocated the amount of time we wanted at each location and made sure we had every detail to complete our trip successfully. The moment you leave Cusco you realize all of the coordination required to make this trip stress free. It was worth every dollar.
Highly recommend!

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!

We had such an amazing tour with Efrain on day 1 going through the Sacred Valley, as well with Alex at Machu Picchu on day 2!
Both Efrain and Alex were very knowledgeable, and had very valuable personal anecdotes to share that gave more insight and really added to the tour. The tour itself had all of the things that we were looking to do on this trip, so that was really fantastic. We felt well taken care of and enjoyed our time! We got so lucky with the weather in March, it was actually almost too good-- the sun was shining so brightly and the view of Machu Picchu and Wayna Picchu was excellent!
