The tour guide was very...
The tour guide was very knowledgeable on this tour, and the driver was able to take us to all of the impressive Inca sites in a timely manner without rushing the tour group too much. The guide was also a good photographer. The buffet lunch was also good and had a wide range of options. Note: this is not the fault of this tour organizer, but I recommend bringing toilet paper, because the bathrooms at the Inca sites themselves did not have any available to visitors.

Incredible value! Amazing guide and unique experience
I was picked up by a nice high top van at 4am outside my hotel. We then travel a couple of hours, have a nice buffet breakfast, and then continue the ride to the trail head. Our guide Heber is amazing. I actually was with him the day prior for Rainbow mountain. Heber explained everything clearly. I chose to ride the horse up, 90 soles. Once I got off the horse, it is a 15 minute hike to the lake. We spent a bit of time alone for pictures, and then the group gathered and Heber gave us some background info of the place, and a nice group picture. We hiked back down, rode to the same restaurant and had a buffet lunch. We had a mechanical issue with our van. But it was quickly sorted out as the company has 3 vans. The group was split and got on the other 2 vans. We rode back to Cusco and got dropped off at the main plaza. The experience is incredible especially when you consider the extremely low price I paid for the tour. Heber forever lol

Colorful Rainbow Mountain was amazing!
I had a great time on Rainbow Mtn. Our guide, John, was very supportive with the high altitude and very knowledgeable about things. Food was delicious and communication was clear as I had to switch groups from 8 am departure to 4 am departure. I'd highly recommend it!

Book it now!
I would do this again in a heart beat! This entire experience was well packaged, seamlessly coordinated and well paced. The host was very warm and friendly and super responsive. There was a slight change to the time on our itinerary and that was communicated well in advance. In any event, that change made the experience even more worthwhile! It was definitely an adrenaline filled tour that made me crave more! We got to rainbow mountain without the difficulty of a hike but still had the opportunity to hike parts of it, if we opted to. I enjoyed myself and would recommend !

Once in a Lifetime!
I had an amazing experience through this tour company going to Machu Picchu! Here are some things to note: it’s going to be a very long day pick up probably around 6 AM and you probably won’t get back until 11 PM or so. The train Machu Picchu often has delayed, so it’s not the company’s fault. The instructions were relatively clear, but there are a lot of logistics. As a solo traveler I just kept eyes on people in my tour group and it was totally fine. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and were accommodating to folks of different abilities. I will warn people that get motion sick that the drive to and from the train station was a little rough. But I took a Dramamine and was OK. Every other tour I went on had similar driving, so I’m pretty sure it’s just the windy roads and the culture. But overall, it was an unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend this company!

Amazing team and Samuel is the best tour guide
Samuel was an amazing tour guide. Pick up was stated to meet at 6:15 at the plaza de armas but per there request we arrived at 6:10z they arrived at 6:20 and a gentleman came to the middle of the square and called our name. We were escorted to a private van. The van was comfortable. We enjoyed all the archeological sites. Perfect way to see many ruins in one day, lunch was at a gorgeous restaurant and we enjoyed the corner outside table.

Sacred Valley Trip
The trip started at 7:45 with a pickup from our hotel. Went to Pisco to see the Incan site, then went into the town of Pisco to shop. Continued on to Urubomba for a teriffic lunch. Not the standard roadside food, but real kicking great culinary experience. Then went Ollantaytambo to drop off a few of our group at train station and continued to the ruins near train station. Loaded up for return to Cusco, but wait…..one more stop at a really cool textile factory. Got back to hotel around 7:15p. It was a great day. Thank you Clara and our fantastic bus driver.

Moray, Maras Salt Mines & Chinchero Weavers
Enjoyable tour, seeing the countryside surrounding Cusco, the Saltmines and the process of weaving from start to finish. The driver was good & the guide Hipo was very good. Hipo spoke very good English & explained things very clearly & invited everyone to ask questions.

Amazing and complete experience
This was an amazing tour. Rogelio was our guide. He is local and very knowledgable. We skipped all the difficult hiking and instead drove motorcycles to the highest point possible. Then, the little walk up to the top of the mointain was way more maneagable for us (living at sea level). Afterwards, we drove ATVs around the area were we watched alpaca and llama farming and Mountain Ausangante. It felt that this was much more of a complete experience than the hiking only tours. Also, the brakfast and lunch by locals was really good! Thank you so much for this experience!

A remarkable summary of Inca life in the Andes
What a full day of adventure and discovery of Inca ruins in the mountains around the Cusco area of Peru. Our guide Johnathon was knowledgeable, helpful, and answered questions well beyond the question. The comfortable van ride was long and intense, but provided amazing views of the geography and living areas of the Incas. The visits to places that sold products provided insight into the local methods and production by ancient methods into modern merchandise. It is well worth the time as the locals involved in productive and educational assistance to "we tourist's" understanding should be applauded and should be part of the tour. Thank you for doing so.

The perfect afternoon
With an outstanding guide leading the way, the breathtaking scenery unfolded majestically, and riding tandem on the ATV, I felt invigorated by the adventure and captivated by the opportunity to document our journey. The archaeological sites stood as a testament to the ingenuity of the Incas' sophisticated agricultural practices, making it an unmissable destination for anyone passionate about history and ancient cultures.

It’s no secret that the most famous Cusco day trip is to Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. But Cusco day trips offer many more adventures beyond its star attraction. From the candy-colored slopes of Rainbow Mountain and the terraced ruins of the Sacred Valley, to the turquoise waters of Humantay Lake, Cusco’s surroundings are packed with day trip possibilities. With options to trek, ride a quad bike, or take an air-conditioned bus, day trips take care of everything so you can focus on enjoying the landscapes and ancient wonders of Peru.
