We had an incredible once in a lifetime experience, the booking agents were impeccable and on top of everything. I worked with Christian Perez personally and everything was coordinated with the utmost professionalism. Trying to handle logistics when coming from other countries can always be challenging, but I was so impressed with Christian Perez and the prompt responses that we got to our queries and questions and their sincere responsiveness to everything. We are very impressed!! We are seasoned travelers and Peru has been an incredible experience, we enjoyed the beautiful country, the Landscape, the mountains, and most importantly, the wonderful people who have opened their hearts and home to welcoming us.
No need to tell anyone about how magical Machu Picchu is. This review is about the tour organised by Libertrek Perú Travel. Everything ran smoothly from getting pick-up early morning by a minivan to getting the train, the bus and meeting up with our fantastic guide (Noé). He’s very knowledgeable, energetic and answered whatever questions we had. Although this is not a private tour, it feels very private as there was only 4 of us. Libertrek Perú Travel‘s WhatsApp number gets answered very quickly for any questions/queries. I would recommend booking using this company.
I recommend travelers to visit this wonderful place of Machu Picchu while they are young, can walk, and climb a high altitude mountain. The best place to visit. Highly recommended.
We had an amazing visit to Machu Picchu with our guide Richard! Super knowledgeable and enthusiastic, paced the tour well especially for my parents and ensured that we took the best photos at the various viewpoints. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
We all had an absolutely fantastic trip. EVERY aspect from pick up at hotel to getting back to Cusco was on time and easy to connect with. We received the Circuit 2 tickets as we entered the citadel. Again, everything was on point and extremely enjoyable. The only suggestion we had was our tour guide in Machu Picchu did an excellent job in presenting detailed information about the Citadel, and he just needs to break up the information at intervals along the way. We found it hard on our backs standing in one spot for 15 or 20 minutes during one of the information stops. Our guide was excellent, just that one suggestion. We LOVED, LOVED our tour from start to finish. Would 100% recommend your company. Thanks so very much. A very special thanks to KATHERYN VARGAS from the Libertrek Peru Travel Team. Her attention to detail, quick responses, and overall assistance made this wonderful trip and experience a memory of a lifetime. THANK YOU Byron Hiscock P.S. This is my 75th country visited and plenty of tours, excursions, expeditions, treks, climbs, and summits along the way. I can not say thank you enough to you and your company's efforts and precision. Well done, Katheryn and crew.
Several trains a day, so choose if you want to go straight to Machu Picchu or stay overnight. Try to get seats NOT at a table of four; you get more legroom. There’s an at seat service of a snack and tea. You can also purchase extras. A great way to get there.
I was coming to Peru last minute for work with limited time in the country and purchased this package. They took care of everything! Quick to respond and very accommodating. They made the trip so easy and safe. The travel company was thorough and friendly. The train was an incredible experience and my tour guide was the best. If you are looking for a full service experience I would highly recommend this package!
We had a wonderful day visiting Machu Picchu with our tour guide Augustin, who was fantastic. He shared fascinating facts about Machu Picchu and the Inca people that really enhanced our experience and made the tour memorable. Transportation to the train station in the morning was easy and efficient. But due to the train schedule and bus delays in Aguas Calientes, we arrived nearly an hour late to the site entrance. We were fortunate they still let us in, but the tight schedule was stressful and we would have appreciated an earlier train departure to allow more buffer time. **Recommendation for the tour company:** Allow customers to review the detailed itinerary in advance and share preferences (such as seating requirements or timing preferences) before the tour day. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend this day trip to Machu Picchu!
Our Machu Picchu trip was absolutely amazing. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we knew exactly what to expect, explaining every detail clearly. All of the staff were wonderful, especially our guide, who went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable during the mountain hike. He gave us great photo recommendations and even took some pictures that looked professional. The host also ensured we arrived at every venue on time so we didn’t miss any activities. Out of all the trips I’ve taken, this team truly stood out for their care and attention to detail. A special thanks for holding onto our luggage — it made our journey home so much easier. Five stars aren’t enough!
Very professional, a day earlier I was given all the information of what my tour would be like in a clear and friendly way. They passed on time, a good guide. It was an excellent experience I would do the same tour again
