Frank was our guide to Machu Picchu. He is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and has a wonderful sense of humor. He also helped us get our tickets, which were quite difficult to obtain, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to him, our visit was both enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend him and this tour!
Great experience! Inca rail was very nice and the process was smooth. Machupicchu is incredible. Wear good shoes. Make sure your kids have very comfortable shoes to walk rocky trails and steps. Full House was the best restaurant we ate at. Amazing food. Gringos need to barter at the curio shops as they are charged more. Leave room in your luggage for buying local crafts.
Our your guide, Frank, was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely excited to share his knowledge of the Inca Culture—he also took amazing photos of us! We could have not asked for a better guide of Circuit 2. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you can get Frank!
