We had a wonderful experience thanks to the best guide we had during our entire trip in Peru: Marco Antonio. He told us the history behind the archaeological sites in an engaging and passionate way, and he even quizzed us to make sure we were paying attention! He was amazing at bringing our group of 14 people together, involving everyone and encouraging us to share something personal. He also suggested the best photo spots and answered every single one of our questions with patience and expertise. Thank you so much, Marco Antonio! You made our trip truly unforgettable!
His passion for tourism and history is fascinating, they made us feel like in our country, taking the time to take tours where we understood the magic behind history and the treasure that as a country Peru has to offer. Super recommended....
“A goodbye full of gratitude from Peru after an unforgettable week at the Fam Trip Andarí 2025. I met beautiful and authentic places that left me breathless. I would like to express my sincerest thanks to Mr. Richard Velasquez, manager of Machupicchu Agency, for his warm hospitality and for making this experience truly enriching. Special thanks to Seleni for its excellent logistics, super organized and efficient. To René, for his infectious passion to make known the wealth of Peru and its elegance from day one. To the drivers, especially Mr. Miguel, for their excellent Service and dedication. Carlos Junior, my guide, for his intelligence and the wonderful way he taught me about the history of Peru; and Guadeloupe, the first guide in Lima, for his excellence. His entire team is unquestionably exceptional, 10 out of 10. To photographers, especially Lima, for capturing unforgettable moments. To all the collaborators of Machupicchu Agency, my deepest thanks for making this trip an indelible experience. From Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, I want to say that you have here another ally, Jelyneth Osorio Murillo of Costeña Travel.

The service is mega personalized, the friendliness and warmth in the Service of the guides is really excellent. Peru and its different touristic places are spectacular and traveling with Machupicchu Agency did even better.
The best experience and with the best operator of Peru 💯% recommended the best thanks for allowing me to live this wonderful experience
The agency made a mistake and didn't come looking for us the morning we agreed. We had to do the tour in the afternoon, we were compensated. Still, the tour was very poor in terms of explaining the spaces we visited. It seems that tourism work is unprofessionalized. Instead of making a general plan and going to detail, the guide constantly explained the details without putting anything in context. In the middle of the tour, I had to pull out my phone and search on my own for information about the sites we visited. Then we found out a lot of details on other excursions that I had not explained and were very interesting. It was a shame.
