Machu Picchu was amazing...

Takahiro_O, Jan 2026

Machu Picchu was amazing and guide was so kind. Going Machu Picchu is bit complicated, however using this tour was really helpful for us.

A scare, but it worked out!!!

Sergio_C, Apr 2026

The place is Wonderful, we unfortunately had the downtime of arriving in Cusco we were informed that the tour to Machu Picchu had been cancelled because the contracted company had not been able to buy the tickets to the Machu Picchu Site, but offered us an alternative tour of 2 days in which we should personally with the Passport in hand buy the tickets in place. An unexpected surprise which left us worried, but faced with the circumstance, the only alternative to continue the visit. Faced with the situation then, we accept the alternative offered, but sincerely, unpleasant surprise.
