I booked this tour very last minute, less than a day before the tour begin. I was extremely amazed by the speed of response from Magical Cusco. Everything was so seamless to the extent I was doubting was it a scam. Magical Cusco travel agency did all they can to gave me the support I needed, I was extremely grateful to manage to find them last minute. The journey was challenging (car ride from Cusco to train station around 3am and dealing with jet lag etc) but it was 100% worthwhile the moment we standing at the top of this sacred magical place, accompanied by experienced tour guide arranged by the travel agency.
This was a wonderful experience! Jaime David was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The driver was great, too!
100% recommended this agency since at all times they were aware of my trip and tours, always answering questions and questions
From start to finish this team was amazing and delivered an amazing experience. First they arrived bright and early for pick up then walked us through the next steps to meet our guide in aguas calientes. David knew all the steps around the town and the ruins. So knowledgeable. Karen and Mario greeted us upon our train arrival back into Ollaytambo. WOW we had an amazing day and would highly recommend this team.
It was actually very nice, because they were always aware of my needs and in the moments I stopped to rest they never left me alone
Mario was the best guide we could find, he was accompanying us for a week on our trip and really his work is his passion.
Mario's knowledge of the history of his country is simply wonderful. He is a very attentive person, funny and passionate about what he does. Thanks to him, the tour was much more than just a visit: we learned, laughed and really enjoyed every moment. It is rating that he loves to share his culture and enthusiastically conveys it. I recommend this tour 100%!
