Top Cusco 4WD Tours - page 4

I can’t say enough about this tour - It was amazing! The quads were so much fun and well maintained and easy to drive. We saw the most beautiful scenery! We were a family of 5, 3 teen boys - 16,16,18. We felt safe and enjoyed every moment. Our driver was very safe and professional and our guide, Lisandro, was very informative and excellent. Thank you for an amazing experience!

If you are visiting Cusco, this chocolate-making class is an absolute must! Our family had such a fantastic experience from start to finish. The class was engaging, interactive, and incredibly fun as we learned about the entire cacao process—from bean to bar. The team made the experience both educational and entertaining, and getting to create our own chocolates was such a memorable highlight. It was the perfect blend of culture, hands-on learning, and delicious fun. This was truly one of the highlights of our time in Cusco. Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience while visiting the city!

Great explanation of Peruvian products, both history and usage, by chef Dael in the vibrant central market. Followed by a great time cooking a 3 course meal together. Food was both beautiful and delicious. What a lovely way to spend a morning in Cusco.

Great trip today! Alex and his driver were very helpful and attentive. It's an early start but the 3.5 hour ride is split into 2 by a breakfast on the way and lunch on the way back. ATV's were awesome, some of the most spectacular views of the Red Valley. Then you take a 45 minute very strenuous hike (mainly due to altitude, not steepness). The air up there is thin and no matter what kind of shape you are in, you will feel it. I would highly recommend this to everyone in the Cusco area.

1. Guides Grobber and Pepe were amazing ... Grobber's English was exceptional and his understanding of the Inca history, culture, trek, and Machu Picchu were amazing - he genuinely wanted to share with all of us (he was from a village along the trek and was VERY proud of his family's role). Pepe - was an amazing complement - his English was good but not as strong ... but he made up for this with his trail navigation ... Our twin boys ran/speed walked up front with pepe with endless stories and challenges ... while mom and dad (61) hung near the back happy to complete each day's mileage. 2. Equipment - Sleeping tents, private bathroom, dining tent, kitchen equipment, walking poles (and if needed sleeping bags and air mattresses were high quality) - we had lots of rain on the last night and had NO water in the tent ... I was a boy scout leader for years with lots of camping - I was impressed. 3. Food - blown away impressive ... I served in the US Army for 30 years ... was a boy scout leader for 10+ years, and have now taken some very engaging adventurous trips (white water rafting in Patagonia, Chile, and Northern Canada) and the food they prepared on two propane burbers with pots/pans they carry on their backs was amazing ... we had chicken and rice dishes, beef and quinoa dishes, cakes for dessert - suffice to say there was an excessive variety and amazing flavor - no one went hungry and everyone bragged about the quality 4. Water - available at every Meal to refill bladders or Nalgene's - never an issue - most came from mountain springs. 5. Porters - we had 13 Trekkers and 23 support (2 guides, 2 chefs, 1 waiter, one head porter and 17 actual porters (the individuals that carried everything) ... they were amazing ... always beat us to the next location and had tents set up waiting for us ... water available, tea and snacks for an appetizer, and then an hour later dinner ready for all. 6. 4-days of trekking ... d Day 1 relatively flat (shakeout) - 10K (6.2M) ... traveling along the river to start passing through villages and neighborhoods [first night we slept in a great location with a store and wifi available for a small price $3.30). Day 2 - this was 12K and included a VERY challenging climb through Dead Woman's pass (13,843 feet) - followed by a down hill to the camp for the night. Day 3 - 90 minute uphill again and then rolling up and down - this was 16K (~10M) ... to the final campsite Day 4 - 6K total with a climb to the sungate ... and then descent into Machu Picchu) - the view was amazing ... surreal looking down on that level of history after having walked the Inca trail for 4 days. The closeout was a bus ride down the mountain, a lunch in the nearby town, train ride to our shuttle pick up point, and a shuttle back to Cusco ... Bottom Line: it was grueling & challenging - but amazingly rewarding! You must be in reasonable shape ... Altitude sickness medication is recommended (my family of 4 all took it ... ) - but you'll come away with a feeling of accomplishment that will leave you looking for the next grand adventure!

Super fun and educational activity. Chris was great and his English was very good. It was fun to go to the market and have him explain what things were and how they were used. His studio kitchen was top notch and his instructions were clear and professional. The food we prepared was amazing! This was one of the highlights of our trip to Cusco. Make time to do it. Thanks, Chris.

Book your visit to Machu Picchu early! Like months in advance. I waited until a month out, and this was literally the only reputable tour left. Thankfully, it ended up being wonderful. The night before your visit, you’ll be sent train tickets through WhatsApp. I was picked up right from my hotel, and the various legs of the journey all went smoothly. Jorge was an awesome tour guide who helped facilitate all of our transportation and provided a ton of interesting information while in Machu Picchu. If you book this tour, you need to be comfortable with getting your train ticket info the night before and entry ticket info the day of— we ended up on Circuit 2 and thought it was great, but you will get whatever circuit is available.

The young lady met us on exit and took pictures for us while waiting for the driver to come around. Smooth ride from airport to hotel in the cool evening. Mild altitude sickness however after we got up two flights of stairs (no lifts at the otherwise very nice four star hotel!) to our room.
