The tour was excellent, I would definitely recommend it. We were the first to get picked up around 7:30, then the van went around picking people up from their hotels. There were 15 of us total and we left Cusco a bit after 8. The tour guide, Eddy, was excellent. He explained the history of Cusco its people, and the culture on the ride, and told us about each place we stopped at. We were dropped off and had an hour for lunch. The buffet at T’ika Wasi Restaurant was underwhelming and bland but the restaurant was very pretty. After lunch, most of our group stayed in Ollantaytambo. Our van was made up of people who had purchased different tour packages. Most of them were getting the train at Ollantaytambo to Machu Pichu. A few of us continued on to Chinchero then Cusco. Chinchero was great, some of the most beautiful genuine alpaca, bring cash! A great tour, learned a lot, really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend it.

I had a bit of trouble communicating pre-trip but I didn’t need to worry. They went over and above multiple times in using right before the trip and everything was clear. I got such and they graciously moved everything back a day. A day before the trip. The guides and package were amazing. We had our own personal guide for Machu Picchu. He was highly knowledgeable and lovely. The hotels, service, communication was top notch. Highly recommend and would use them again.

Our to our tour was great. Our guide Mija was very knowledgable and he made the day interesting and fun. I definitely recommend this tour to others.

Wonderful day trip! Our guide and reaver were wonderful. Great way to see a good bit of the sacred valley in a day. Absolutely beautiful!

very through, fun, and, educational. one of the best tour experiences I've had
