Our tour was absolutely incredible, from start to finish! All of our accommodations were comfortable and very clean. We were met at the airport and train stations as soon as we arrived, and our transportation was clean and comfortable. By far the best part of our trip, however, was Julio, our guide. We had him for the first three days of our trip, and he went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best time possible. We truly appreciated everything he did for us! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone that want to see some of the highlights of Peru. It was excellent!!Show more

Excellent tour. Good variety of sights. Our guide, Julio, had a lot of great knowledge about Machu Pichu and the Sacred Valley. He also shared some interesting history about the Inca culture. He was a little challenged because the tour included a family group from Mexico and myself, from the US. While I know some Spanish, unfortunately I am too slow to be conversational. Julio did a great job splitting the tour between Spanish and English explanations at each stop. And he was still able to keep things moving.Show more

★★★★☆ The tour was a very enjoyable experience. Jonathan, our guide, was super helpful, professional, and knowledgeable, and provided valuable insights into the history and culture of this amazing country. There are just a few areas where the tour company could improve communication. For example, it was not clear before booking that luggage would not automatically be transported between hotels and that additional arrangements and costs might be required. Jonathan helped organize this for us. On previous tours, I was used to having a dedicated bus for the group during the tour. I had no issue with the arrangements used on this tour or the additional costs involved, but I would have preferred to know this before booking. We were told this would be explained during the briefing, but due to exceptional circumstances, the briefing took place by phone on the first day. Overall, it was a great and enjoyable trip.Show more
