Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great trip to Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu in January, and that you enjoyed your stays at Palacio del Inka and Tambo del Inka. It’s wonderful to know the weather was perfect and that Machu Picchu met your expectations! We’re especially happy that you had such a positive experience with your driver/guide. We truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to help you plan another unforgettable adventure in the future! Howlanders Team

The team at Howlanders.com would like to thank you for your kind review. We hope to see you again soon!
INCREDIBLE. The 2 day tour is where it's at. Every destination is more breathtaking than the next. All of the guides were professional and courteous. Ulysses was our guide at Machu Picchu and he was excellent. Very funny, animated, and informative. Be prepared for lots of time spent in busses and trains. You will almost certainly arrive at least 1 hour later than expected to every place so keep that in mind when planning return flights, etc. This wasn't the fault of the tour organizer, just seems to be the way peru operates. Expect large crowds at every site and tons of vendors trying to sell you things at every turn. The hotel we got in Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu Adventure, was not great. Very loud and very bright. If you need a good sleep consider booking your own hotel as there are some nice ones around. We also booked the panoramic train option but didn't get it. We got refunded for the error but ultimately, the train we got was just fine with lots of huge windows to observe the incredible landscape. Final tips: read the Google reviews for restaurants in Aguas Calientes carefully as some of them are terrible and sketchy. Also buy your souvenirs in Ollatayntambo as they will be much cheaper than Aguas Calientes and its all the same stuff.
The Howlanders.com team would like to thank you for your kind review. We hope you enjoy the rest of your journey!
The whole trip was amazing and so well organised. We really enjoyed the sacred valley, but nothing topped Machu Piccu. We were lucky with the weather and got some great shots.

The Trip to the sacred valley, Pisac, Ollantaytambo was excellent. Jimmybour guide expressed himself very well and knew a lot. Then we took the train to Aguas Calientes and the next tour had a great guide, Fernando, who allowed us to take our time in Machu Pichu. Fernando was the best guide we had so far.

Everything exceeded our expectations. All of the guides were wonderful, the lunch spot was fantastic, and all the details were meticulously planned & carried out. We met a couple of folks from other tours with similar itineraries and ours was clearly a step above the rest. The only thing I might change is not going with the Velodrome as it didn't seem like that much of a difference from the regular passenger area.
Thanks for your great review for howlanders ☺ We really appreciate how you highlight the quality of the tour, that really makes the difference. About the trains, the Vistadome category has panoramic windows on the roof and includes some snacks and dance shows, but no doubt that the Expedition category is already great. Hope you can travel with us again! Regards
Even when there was a strike and we had to move the experience Ronald took care of it amazingly well. We basically had an individual tour guide and we always had someone to pick us up. I was so relieved I had them and would totally recommend
Dear traveler, What a joy to read your review for howlanders :) Thank you for your understanding, strikes sometimes happen and we cannot control them, but we can do our best in those difficult moments to offer an excellent service and have travelers as happy as you. Undoubtedly travelers can find many options to visit Machu Picchu, but in this kind of situation is when a professional company makes a difference by offering an excellent service. We hope you will be able to travel with us again in the future.
Yes!,.. our initial booking and pre-tour assistance for a May adventure was all one could ask for, but as importantly, the inevitable termination of our travel plans due to COVID-19 restrictions was handled very professionally, and resolved most amiably , and quickly, given the circumstances. We fully commend Howlanders and staff for their handling of what must have been very trying times for them. We certainly look forward to re-engaging with them when things return to 'open skies', and encourage others, thinking of their revised plans when the time comes, to include these guys.
Hola! Thank you very much for describing how your experience with our staff has been :) At Howlanders we work every day to help travelers plan the best routes for their vacation, and we will continue to do so when the time comes to travel again!
I had to cancel our trip because of Covid-19. Howlanders employees were very cooperative in cancelling the trip and refunding us almost the entire amount paid. If we decide to make our trip later we will certainly do business with Howlanders. They're really professional.

The entire two days was perfect and we’ll operated. The local lunch was fabulous. Recommend this tour for all.
Hola John! Howlanders wants to thank you very much for the recommendation :) Peruvian food is really good and exquisite. We hope that we encouraged you to visit Latin America again!
