Especially I want to point out Karen! The planning and conversations were easy and everything went well! Moreover! My guide Gerky at Machu Picchu was excellent! He was one of the best guides I had in South Amerika for the last 2,5 months. He is empathic, has profound knowledge and could answer really special questions about books and documentations from the 15 th century! Thank you very much!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

We are truly happy to hear that everything went smoothly during the planning process and that Karen was able to assist you effectively. She will be very pleased to know she made a positive impact on your trip. It is also wonderful to hear that your experience at Machu Picchu with Gerky was so memorable. We take great pride in working with passionate and knowledgeable guides who love sharing the history and culture of Peru. Your feedback means a lot to us and motivates our entire team to continue creating unforgettable experiences.

This was an amazing experience! I'm so glad we did the tour because the process of getting to Machu Pichu can feel overwhelming but this made it so much easier to navigate. Julio was an incredible guide and really made our experience next level! Absolutely recommend this tour and this company!

RAP Travel guided me every step of the way to Machu Picchu

John_U, Jun 2024

Booking a trip to Machu Picchu at the last minute like I did is fairly complicated, involving multiple modes of transportation and waiting in line for tickets the day before, but Jose angel and his team guided me every step of the way. They picked me up at the airport, drove me to the train station in Ollantaytambo, arranged train and bus tickets, booked a hotel in Aguas Calientes, walked me through the Machu Picchu ticket process and arranged a private guide on the morning of my visit to the site. I would not have known where to start had I been on my own, but RAP Travel's expertise was invaluable and the whole process was seamless. Highly recommended, they made the entire experience stress-free!

Muito satisfatória.

Excelente passeio, uma verdadeira viagem no tempo. Um pouco cansativo, porque a saída do hotel é as 5 horas da manhã, e retorno a noite, por volta de 21h. Mas é visita praticamente obrigatória para os turistas de Cusco. A caminhada pela cidade história não exige preparo físico alto, bem tranquilo.
