Amazing experience, Rogello is the best
It was an incredible experience. Taking the atv up to Vinicunca really helped with the altitude sickness, we beat most of the crowds to take good photos, the atv rides to see the Andes mountains was really fun. Rogello was an excellent guide that's good at speaking english who told us lots of fun facts. I would highly recommend this tour

Fantastic day out. Tremendously well organised..
This was a great experience. One of the best organised tours that I have ever taken.
Guide arrived bang on time to transfer me from the hotel to the train station, and explained well how the rest of the day would work.
Experience on board the train was incredible - a band playing (two separate sessions) in the observation car, great views from the train, and free drinks and snacks (with opportunity to purchase beer, etc.)
On arrival at Machu Picchu Pueblo station, another guide was waiting with my name on a board and swiftly ushered us towards the included bus to go up to Machu Picchu. Only a few minutes later, an English-speaking guide appeared and explained that I would be getting a private tour as I was the only English speaker that day!
The guide at Machu Picchu was incredible. A really good amount of time was allowed to walk around the site at a leisurely pace, take lots of photos, and ask questions and discuss the history of the place. He also had a great photo book of historical pictures, etc.
The guide then escorted me back to town and was happy to recommend places to eat with no hard sell. At every point, he was only interested in what I wanted to do (explore, eat, do something else). There was plenty of time to then wander the town before boarding the train back.
After arriving back at Poroy, another representative was waiting with names on a board again to whisk me back to the door of my hotel in Cusco.
Really, really well organised and really maximises time at Machu Picchu (which is an incredible place, it goes without saying). Would recommend this company without hesitation. It’s a long day, but totally worth it.

Awesome tour!
Arnold was friendly, informative and a very knowledgeable guide. He made the full day experience so fun. It’s a long day but action packed. If you are into learning about the Sacred Valley this tour is for you. Ask for Arnold. Our driver was awesome too!’

Great
Both places are very interesting for their uniqueness. They picked me up on time. Good communication from the company. If asked, the guide will stop at a store to buy some snacks since the distances are far. The guide explained the details very well. At the morray you get to walk arround the whole place. Bring water and sunblock. Bathrooms available.

This tour is not for everyone, but for tuff only
O yes, the experience was a great, special one, the gide of Tito was perfectly. Even we're was injoy, can't recommend this activity for everyone, a specially for old people's.
There's thing, if no sunshine over there you can't to see that beautiful mountains, because it's will covered by clouds, ha ha ha, then thinking twice to choose this activity.
Tour operators have to inform well about that activity, not just mind about money receive.

Incredible experience
Really well organised, Ronald was a fantastic tour guide, keeping us entertained on the really long bus ride to the rainbow mountain by giving us extra info about the villages along the way. We opted for the later comfort tour and were the last people on the mountain. We got such incredible views all to ourselves. Such an amazing experience and Ronald got some great photos of us too.

wonderful experience
wilbert was great! he made sure everyone was okay and stayed with members of the group that needed extra help, which in this case was us😅 he never left anyone behind and he gave us enough time up on lake humantay to take pictures and recover before going down. he even took our pictures and sent the ones he took on his phone to the group. the tour was organized and on time, except the pick up wherein they were 35 minutes late. but the free breakfast and lunch were great! provided us color coded hiking sticks so we could tell who was part of our group and who wasnt. overall amazing experience!

Great Tour
A great way to see Machu Picchu without having the hassle of working out all the transport yourself. This tour was very good, they arrange all the transport from getting you from your hotel or wherever in Cusco all the way to Machu Pichu without the stress of hoping there's tickets available etc

Best full day tour you can get in Cusco
This was the best tour we have gotten in the whole of Peru and we have come twice already. Our guide Oscar and our driver Don Zenón “The best driver in the whole of Peru” were nothing short of amazing! The tour was absolutely tailored to everything we wanted or needed and they made sure to give us options so that we could pick which ever was a better option based on how tired we were. The place they took us to have lunch was amazing in a beautiful scenery! 100% recommended and if we brought other relatives or friends to Cusco we will take them on this tour. Even make yourself a favor and check their direct contact on the website of EXCLUSIVE INKA TOUR our only regret was not finding them earlier and booking the rest of our tours in Peru with them

Wonderful hike with stunning views
Fantastic day, the early wake up is absolutely worth it. You’re one of the first groups on the mountain. We were so lucky and got to see everything, the colourful mountain, glacier, and red valley. Yuri and Vicki were excellent guides, providing lots of fun information and making sure everyone got up the mountain safely.

Enjoyable way of seeing Rainbow Mountain.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable time on our quadbike tour. The journey to and from Rainbow Mountain enabled us to see more of Peru. Our guide, Cristian, ensured that we were informed of pick up details before the day and, throughout the excursion, checked that we were coping with the elevation. I recommend this tour to anyone wishing to view Rainbow Mountain.

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.
