Really informative guide and the whole experience made it smooth and I had very few worries throughout the trip.
Yapa Explorers was amazing! Our guide, Javier, at Machu Picchu was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the history of this incredible site. He made the experience both educational and enjoyable, answering all our questions and sharing fascinating details throughout the tour. I would highly recommend Yapa Explorers and Javier to anyone planning a visit to Machu Picchu. They helped make our trip truly unforgettable!
Before we've even started our tour, Luigi has already made a lasting impression on us. Planning a trip to Machu Picchu during peak season can be stressful, especially when tickets seem to disappear within minutes. We had countless questions, concerns, and "what if" scenarios, and Luigi patiently guided us through every single one of them. What stood out most was not only his professionalism, but his kindness. He never made us feel like just another booking. Every message felt personal, thoughtful, and genuinely focused on helping us have the best possible experience. Even when circumstances changed and we had to consider alternative options, he took the time to explain everything clearly, honestly, and with remarkable patience. As travellers, we know that great customer service is rare. Service that makes you feel completely looked after is even rarer. Luigi managed to turn what could have been a stressful and uncertain situation into something exciting and enjoyable. We found ourselves looking forward to the journey even more because we felt we were in good hands. If this is the level of care Yapa Explorers provides before the trip has even begun, we can only imagine how wonderful the actual experience will be. Thank you, Luigi, for your patience, warmth, honesty, and incredible support. We truly appreciate it and can't wait to meet Peru through the eyes of people who clearly care about their travellers. Warm greetings from Latvia, Mairita & Reinis
What an experience! The Inca Trail and Machu Picchu are even more magical than I anticipated. Pictures do not capture the essence. Reny, our tour guide was amazing! He is knowledgeable, passionate and most importantly patient and dedicated to ensuring we had a safe and comfortable hike. His instructions and guidance for all the logistics (which are multi step) were on point. I highly recommend this tour and Reny specifically for a challenging and rewarding experience!
Guide Samuel was very friendly and kind. He explained to me things about Machu Picchu and was proactive in helping me getting the best shot of photos and videos. The pictures and all came out to be amazing. Thank you. Another thing I felt could be better is the hotel, it's a 1 star hotel and I had no hot water. With this price, accoms could have been better. On the transfer esp the bus from cusco to ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes you are pretty much on your own. Same goes to free time in Aguas Calientes. The guide only happened in Machu Picchu itself, other than that just different Peruvians receiving you which was very confusing for me.

We completed the 2-Day Inca Trail with Yapa Explorers, and it was one of the highlights of my trip to Peru. Just to clarify for anyone considering this tour, the actual hike takes place on the first day and lasts about 6 hours. At the end of the hike, you are rewarded with breathtaking views of Machu Picchu from above before heading down to your hotel. On the second day, you enter Machu Picchu itself and explore the site in detail with your guide. Our guide, Angel, was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. We had initially been a little intimidated by the hike, but Angel provided a thorough briefing the day before and carefully adjusted the pace to suit the group on the hiking day. Thanks to his guidance, we completed the trail comfortably and enjoyed every moment of it. Throughout the two days, Angel shared fascinating information about the Inca civilization, Peruvian culture, local nature, and the history of the region. His explanations greatly enriched the experience. Honestly, if I could, I would give him 20 out of 10 points. The package lunch during the hike and the dinner included after arriving in Aguas Calientes were both delicious. The hotel included in the package was also comfortable and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants not only to experience a beautiful hike, but also to gain a deeper understanding of Machu Picchu and the history behind it. It was an unforgettable and very informative experience.
Very well organised tour. The guides were excellent throughout with excellent English and the briefing the night before handed over a full set of printed tickets for everything - buses, trains, machu picchu entrance.
Amazing time in machu pichu! Pickups and transportation was all on time and stress free. Our guide for Machu pichu was named Samuel and he was awesome. Knew everything you needed/wanted to know about Machu Pichu. He was very friendly and took awesome pictures. Overall great experience.
The experience went fairly smoothly compared to other services or tours. There was always someone the help you through the painful process of getting to and from certian legs of the trip. Javier Flores was absolutely amazing the day of the machu picchu tour. His knowledge of history and his pride as a local made the tour feel personal. Thank you so much for the experience ❤️
Sam is the best tour guide! 5 stars for Sam. Very knowledgeable and takes fantastic photos! Thanks Sam!
