Michael was a wonderful and experienced tour guide. We really love the first part where he bring us to the llamas sanctuary that also had two beautiful condors. Loved feeding the llamas, alpacas etc. Michael was also very knowledgeable about Ollantaytambo and told us about the history there. Machu Picchu was also very fun, Michael was funny and gave us lots time to take pictures and told us lots about the history of Machu Picchu.

We had a fantastic time on our 2-day tour. It is the ideal way to hit all the major points in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu if you're short on time, and the experience itself is incredible and unique. The tour was very organized, and we stopped at both major areas like Ollantaytambo as well as smaller, less-busy sites like a snake temple and terraces near Pisac. Our guide, Fabrizio, was excellent -- very knowledgeable, kind, fun, and made sure all the details were taken care of during our trip. I would definitely recommend this tour!

What an experience! Our tour guide Fabricio was a gem. He was punctual, knowledgeable and respectful. He allowed us time for pics and was super patient throughout the two-day excursion to Machu Picchu from Cusco. Sacred Valley, Pisac and Machu Picchu are a MUST DO while in Peru.

I had the pleasure of embarking on a 2-day tour to Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu guided by Fabrizio, whose passion for his work and deep knowledge illuminated every step of the journey. His kindness and warmth created an atmosphere of genuine appreciation for the stunning views surrounding us. The lunch spot provided a delicious culinary experience, while Fabrizio's efforts in breaking the ice among our group fostered camaraderie and friendship. Fabrizio's keen eye for the best views ensured that we didn't miss a single breathtaking moment. Thanks to him, we not only saw Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu but truly appreciated its beauty and its history. If you're looking for a guide who will turn your trip into a magical adventure, Fabrizio and his team at Machu Picchu Latin America is the one to choose.

If you’re considering a tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, you absolutely must go with Michael! He made this trip truly unforgettable. Michael is an archaeologist with an incredible passion for his country, and his knowledge is second to none. Every stop was filled with captivating stories and insights that brought the ancient sites to life. Our tour group felt like family because of Michael’s warm and inclusive nature. He went out of his way to ensure everyone was comfortable and engaged, creating an atmosphere where we could enjoy every moment together. What made this tour even more special was getting to visit Michael’s private collection of artifacts. It was like stepping into a hidden treasure trove, and he shared each item’s history with contagious enthusiasm. But the highlight for me was getting engaged on this trip, and Michael played a big part in making it happen. He helped orchestrate the perfect setting, and his genuine excitement for us added to the magic. It’s clear that he loves what he does, and that energy transformed our journey into something extraordinary.

This tour was so much fun! Fabrizio was the best guide ever! He is so knowledgeable, taught us so much about different types of animals in the region, Incan culture, and the history of the area. He was very kind, very patient, taking the time to point out all the small details at the sites we visited and teaching us about them. He is clearly very passionate about what he is talking about. Highly recommend!!!
