What an amazing experience!!!! It is difficult to get to Machu Picchu from the airport. You need a taxi, train, and bus. They made it manageable and were very professional and thoughtful. They provided us a place to rest while we waited for our tour. They are excellent and effective communicators. We knew exactly what was next and they reassured us by calling and texting. Someone was already waiting for us at each stop. Bryan, our tour guide, was wonderful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Circuit 2 was incredible. Once in a lifetime experience. Since it was my first time in Cusco, I really appreciated the exceptional service I received from the staff. Worth every penny.
