Ruben was an amazing host and tour guide. The excitement he shared with our group almost seemed as though he was also experiencing Machu Picchu for the first time along with us. The culture and history he shared was eye opening about the Incan culture and this amazing site. This will not be the last time I visit this amazing country.

Ruben was an amazing guide. He passionately shared his amazing Inka culture, history, food and he performed a sweet Inka ceremony. We've enjoyed his time, efforts and ability to teach us about Machu Pichu, his wonderful people and his life. He seems like a wonderful young man who will go places in life. He is a great lead and understands people's skills very well. He is truly an asset to your company. Wishing him blessings in his future endeavors!

Our guide Ruben was very knowledgeable, nice, personable and all around great guide. He kept us moving through Mach Picchu without feeling rushed. He was an excellent photographer knowing how to best position to take advantage of the best views. Cosmo tours provided an all around amazing experience with impeccable timing. It was a long day making the round trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu and back. Our 4:40am pick up was right on time. Our 6:10 drop at Inca Rail was perfect. This continued throughout the day until our final drop off back to our hotel a few minutes earlier than expected. Great trip! Many thanks to Cosmo for putting it together and Ruben for an all around great experience.

Visiting one of the 7 wonders of the modern world almost requires the guides of Incan blood. Ruben and Jorge are passion of their heritage and move up and down the mountain like a couple of Llamas. Great knowledge of Machu Picchu and the region as a whole.
