I booked this trip via Viator as I was a woman travelling solo with little spanish. It was well organised with good communication and collections / drop offs precise. If I knew what I know now then perhaps I could have just arrived in Cusco and organised with local tour companies and it would have been cheaper I am sure. The idea of the tour was also to meet other people but as it happens I was the only person so I had my own tour guide and private driver.
Day 1 and day 6 are just collection and drop off days. The tour is really only 4 days. Hotel Waspi Inn. Nice hotel walking distance to Cusco Centre but due to its layout I found it quite noisy as the lounge area is in the centre.
Day 2 Abdul was my guide, He was great, His English was quite good and he took loads of photos for me as my phone camera stopped working! We did 4 very interesting stops along the sacred valley route. The restaurant in Urumbamba was amazing.. delicious food.
Ended up in Ollantaytambo where I was put on the train to Aguas Calientes. Unfortunately I was given a seat on the mountain side not the river side.
Met at other end by person taken to hotel ‘Gringot Bills’. Looked a bit rough from outside but actually it was nice.
Day 3. The next morning met again by my own guide who came with me on bus to Machu Picchu and did a tour for a few hours before leaving me to make my own way back and re catch the train back to Ollantaytambo. My train was at 13:07. I wish I had opted for a later train but I did not understand the relevance of the chosen train time despite posing this question to Viator. So a tip , go for the 3pm option on your booking ! A bit disappointed to find that yet again I was seated on the mountain side which can be frustrating when people on the good side are asleep.
Back to hotel in Cusco where I had left my main luggage overnight.
Day 4 Next day early transfer to bus tour to Puno. Great tour with good stops to break up the long journey. The bus was so comfortable with snacks along the way and stropped in a restaurant with music for lunch.Hotel Intigua - dogs barking outside all night long !
Day 5 - collected for Lake Titticaca tour ( pleased to say some others from yesterdays bus were also on this day trip although they were with other tour companies) A great tour to floating island and Tequille. So beautiful- lots of walking and it was hot and altitude makes Hill walking a little breathless. Had an amazing lunch on this island along with dancing and a market along the way to the other side where the boat met us again.
Day 6 - organised collection and transfer to my own hotel.
So overall it’s a great tour and I really enjoyed it

We were so impressed by how Fly Peru Cusco planned and carried out this tour. Everything was precise. No guide or taxi was late. The guides was good, especially Jesus at Machu Picchu. We felt that we were VIP-customers all the way. Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca are must sees. We could not be more satisfied with anything!

I really recommend this agency! They were very nice with us. It’s expensive but for a first experience in Peru I guess is the best way.

What a memorable and amazing experience and adventure The Best of Peru tour was! I felt well looked after at all times and loved my tour guides - Efi who thoroughly explained all the nuances of the Sacred Valley to me; Ivonita who introduced me to the magic of Machu Picchu; and Nestor who was in charge of the Puno leg of the tour. Jorge was a great driver; and both the guided bus trip from Cuzco to Puno and the Lake Titicaca experience were made fantastic thanks to the guides - Marco and Percy respectively. The accommodation provided during the tour was very comfortable and clean; the breakfasts and lunches included in the tour were all delicious. The unsurpassed beauty of Peru combined with the friendliness and expertise of the guides + the physical comforts provided throughout the tour will make my memories last forever ❤️

Very good combination: history of Inka state, impressive monuments of old cultures and overwhelming landscapes of high Andes. What's more, our guides and organizers - Jhordy, Efraim and Nestor took care of us for the whole week, so we had no problems with finding interesting places and even avoiding the national strike which happened exactly during our stay in Peru.

A super nice deal. I booked the tour as it included all major attractions. It was a pleasant experience from the start. Jhordy the travel co-ordinator was responsive to all my questions.
They took great care of everything. I just had to travel. It was nice having a local expert in each attraction who knew a lot about the culture, traditions and history.
Machu Picchu always topped my bucket list and it was very nice to have a guide who spoke fluent English and had an in depth knowledge.
If you are looking for a budget friendly and an allinclusive trip, i highly reccomend this.

This tour is without any doubt a must to do when you come to Peru 🙏🏽
We started with Ticicaca’s lake and the visit of the Uros floating islands.
We discovered the Uros community and the fabulous Taquire island.
Then we headed to Cusco city with its typical architecture that is the result of a mix of Inca’s and Spanish Conquistator’s culture.
Finally, we visited the incredible Machu Picchu, an unforgettable moment in a life, discovering this royal Inca’s city.
I highly recommend this 6 days tour, Jhordy, our guide, has been attentive, very kind and incredible adaptable to our needs.

Hermosa experiencia. Queríamos destacar la amabilidad y profesionalismo con el que se manejan. Mención especial para Jhordy quien está atento las 24hs, y los guías: Efran, Víctor, Cesar y Néstor. No queríamos dejar de agradecerles haber estado en cada detalle y haber hecho de este viaje a Perú un viaje memorable. Cómo mujeres nos sentimos muy cuidadas y respetadas por todos en Fly Cusco
