Jerver did an amazing job! We had a mixed language group and he did a wonderful job of explaining everything in both languages. He was incredibly knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining things and had additional photos to share at times as well.
Good tour, Jerver did a great job explaining the sites we visited Moray and Maras Salt Mines.
The guide Fernando very experienced, shared a lot of knowledge with the whole group, especially about moray
Maras and Muray is very beautiful. Our guide Fernando is extraordinary, shared a lot of knowledge and history.
Fernando. Great experience and passion for his work; he undoubtedly makes a difference in the tour we enjoyed. He is a great guide and an even better person. The agency has been slow to respond or provides brief answers. For those of us traveling from another country, we do not know in detail what is required; it shows a lack of experience and training of the staff in charge. It lacks empathy for the client, which is the most important thing.
It was a wonderful trip; the guide Fernando was excellent; his experience in his work and his enthusiasm are evident. Everything very good!!! As for the agency, its service leaves much to be desired. They do not answer WhatsApp, they reply when they want and how they want, they do not provide the service and attention. We asked them for information about tours and never got it, neither from the salesperson nor here, until one day before. And they asked us to make arrangements with the hotel, such as ordering a box lunch, etc., knowing that we were arriving at 12 pm, instead of them taking care of it.
Our guide Jerver has been very professional in his work, commenting in detail on all the processes and with precision on all the information provided. We have enjoyed the experience with him very much.
Very good guide. High knowledge of the information. Detailed explanation. Very attentive
Tour: Maras Moray and Salineiras Guide: Fernando Agency: Machu Picchu Hotels The team is punctual and the experience is different. It is a more focused tour to get to know the culture of the Incas and how they worked. Very interesting.
Machu Picchu Travel is a great tourism company. The tour was quiet and with interesting explanations about the local culture.
