Don't hesitate. Short Inca Trail is a great option

It was a great experience. Roger's guidance was impeccable. Good information and support throughout the entire tour. Lunch on the mountain was hearty and delicious. A big difference arriving at Machu Picchu after trekking the Inca Trail than doing it by bus. I highly recommend it!!!

Fun and interesting culinary experience in Peru

Fun experience starting with the local market visit and introduction to local fruits vegetables meats and cheeses. The kitchen is well planned for teaching and entertaining, very beautifully designed. The cooking class starts with 3 kinds of ceviche Recipes taught. The chef was very friendly and taught us with good cooking techniques which helped us learn the recipes easily. Other recipes include soup, entrees and desert recipes. All the recipes were explained hands on and my husband and I enjoyed cooking with our chef. We also made the traditional Pisco sour drink and were served chicho morada and wine!

Rene was an amazing tour...

Rene was an amazing tour guide. He was knowledgeable on everything from the history of the Incans to tectonic plates and their effects on the region, giving that extra layer of context to everything you saw. He was incredibly warm, and you could tell he loved his job. We had an amazing time and they dropped us off perfectly for our train to Aguas Calientes to see Machu Picchu the next day, not too late or too early. Would recommend to my friends

ATV Tour to Moray Maras and Salt Mines in the Sacred Valley

Nancy_P, Jun 2026

Amazing ATV Adventure to Moray & Maras

Communication with the tour company was challenging since it took several messages before we received a response. However, the actual tour with our tour guide was amazing. Our family of 4, including 2 teens, ended up having a private tour. Our tour guide, Joel, was professional and knowledgeable. It was a 50-min ride from our hotel to the ATV base camp. After receiving instructions, we practiced at base camp for 10 min before heading out. It was our teen daughter’s first time driving an ATV and she quickly got the hang of it thanks to the clear instructions. It wasn’t stated on the website but there is an additional nominal fee of 3 soles per person paid to the local community of Cruzpata to compensate for the ATVs traveling through the village. The ATV ride from the base camp to Moray took about 45 min each way. It was a beautiful scenic ride and we enjoyed every minute of it. Joel even took a video of us riding our ATVs. Moray was beautiful! Joel explained its history and then we had about 20 min to explore on our own. He was also kind enough to take family photos for us. After Moray, we headed to Maras. We knew in advance (based on other reviews) that there wouldn’t be time for lunch so we packed food and snacks to eat during the 20-min bus ride to Maras. The salt mines were stunning. Afterwards, we stopped at a shop for salted chocolate tasting. We ended up buying some souvenirs. Our teens said that this tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Cusco.

Walter Diaz is the best guide we've ever had on every trip to Peru

Wonderful tour, super attentive Walter Diaz, explains very well, easy to understand the language in Portuguese which made the experience even more amazing. Walter is a first-class photographer (he knows even the best points, how to stay without shadows on the faces and etc.), took photos of the whole group, individual photos, all very amazing. I highly recommend.

ATV Salt mines moray

Great experience! Joel was great and even got some videos of us which I fully appreciate as I always want those! Took some good photos as well! Loved that it was a small group. Loved that we had an hour on the ATV on the way to Moray and also on the way back! Was so fun! Great teaching as well with the not automatic ATV! Salt place was cool. Very informational on tour and perfect timing of just six hours. Bonus of a salt shop to buy the salt and taste some chocolate. Again Joel was AWESOME! Thank you!!!

Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour

ChelseaNathan_G, Mar 2026

Great Food Tour!

Sonia was a great guide, showing us all of the best places that are easy to overlook amongst all of the options in the city. Learning about the blend of Incan and Colonial culture was very unique and eye opening. The street foods were awesome, flavors that speak to the Andean heritage, and the coffee shop was a true gem find. Would highly recommend joining the Curious Monkey Food Tours group, they have great guides that care about sharing their city with outsiders not just for the money but for sharing their culture with others.
