My parents and I traveled...
My parents and I traveled by train, and we were provided with clear instructions and guidance throughout the journey since it was a long trip. The train itself was very comfortable, with spacious seating, snacks, beautiful scenic views, and even a live dance performance on board.
Upon arriving at Machu Picchu, we had a private guide, which made the experience even better. We were able to ask questions freely, learn in depth about the site, and take plenty of photos without feeling rushed.

Perfect way to acclimate to the altitude
This was hands down the best tour we took while in Cusco. Gabriel is an absolute gem. If you have the opportunity to learn from him about the local culture, the Inca people, and life in the region, you'll leave both happier and more knowledgeable.
He guided us on a wonderful ride through the mountains and hills, sharing fascinating information while allowing plenty of time to take in the breathtaking scenery. The horses were well cared for, gentle, and easy to ride, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience.
This tour was the perfect way to acclimate to the altitude while enjoying some of the most beautiful views around Cusco. We only wish we had booked another tour with Gabriel during our trip.
I cannot recommend this horseback riding tour highly enough.

Beautiful Horseback Riding Experience at Gabriel’s Ranch
Amazing horseback riding experience at Gabriel’s ranch! The views were beautiful, the horses were well trained, and Gabriel and his team were friendly and professional. Everything felt safe, relaxed, and well organized. Highly recommend this as a fun and memorable activity near Cusco.

Rainbow Mountain Hike
The Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley are a sight to see - obviously a little different than what you see in photos online but still fantastic to visit. The hike itself isn’t too difficult, but the elevation is extremely high so it can make it difficult to breathe. Acclimatize and drink lots of water/coca tea before doing this hike. Alex was a fantastic guide and helped a lot in moments where we weren’t feeling well.

Amazing and Wonderful Tour!!!
I had an amazing time touring Machu Picchu with the Happy Gringo company. First off I want to give a HUGE shout out and thanks to Frank for helping me make this tour happen. My first 3 attempts of scheduling a tour were all canceled for a variety of reasons. Frank was amazing in helping me with a last minute booking to visit the site especially since I only had one day I could do it. Frank you are amazing!!!
Secondly I want to thank Ruben my guide for an amazing and informative tour. Ruben gave me the history at each location and even helped take some fantastic photos during the tour. Afterwards, he made a wonderful restaurant recommendation where I got to try some delicious local peruvian food.
If you ever plan to visit Machu Picchu, I highly recommend you use these guys. You won't be disappointed and will make some amazing lifetime memories. 🫶🫰❤️😁🇵🇪

Horse back riding with history and amazing view!
This was one of our favorite activities in Peru. Arnold was incredibly knowledgeable about his culture and the horses. He introduced us to all the horses, shared their traits, taught us how to interact with them and let us pick our horse. My son (8yr) had a guide who tied his horse to my son’s very mellow horse. He had a blast! The Inca ruins were incredible and the scenery along the way was beautiful!

Most Educational!!
The guide, “Benni”, was exceptional! Confident in her knowledge of Inca history, she was extremely adept in her responses to even our poorly worded questions and was professional enough use words and phrases that made understanding her explanations easier. She was very engaging, but personable and courteous. Having traveled extensively worldwide, I can confidently say, this was the most engaging and educational tour I have ever taken. Don’t lose her!

So convenient
Great experience. Easy to find once we landed even with our flight being delayed. Got a few tips and recommendations on our way to the hotel and a little bit of history. Would recommend for the ease and convenience of booking a ride in advance to have one less thing to worry about.
