Rating them 15 out of 10 as a tour company. If you are lucky you will book them.

A very impressive tour company. We had a very unique experience with Kawsay. Our guide Tony was phenomenal. Very informative and friendly. No problem with English. They showed us parts of Peru and Machu Picchu that no one else experienced. Would highly recommend the company. Ask for Tony. Rate 15/10 if possible.

EXPERIÊNCIA MARAVILHOSA COM JOSEPH

An indescribable and very special trip, we are sure that the accompaniment with the guide Joseph made everything even more special, we can learn a lot from the culture, the stories, and especially from a person who loves his people, and who lives this culture. In every moment he was extremely requested, careful with us, took several photos of us, and even made part of my marriage request. We indicate to ALL who want to visit machu picchu, and all the other historical centers of Cusco.

The ideal tour to discover the mysteries of Machu Picchu!

A fantastic way to see this magical wonder of the world in Peru. Joseph was so knowledgable and brought the local Quechuan values to life during this 2 day trek, the views were incredible and the journey made all the more enjoyable with such an insightful and postitive guide. I highly reccommend arranging your next tour with Joseph as he will ensure your visit is the most memorable from start to finish. Thank you Kawsay Peru Travel!

Machu Picchu - forever a mystery!

A magical experience as the wonder of Machu Picchu will forever remain a mystery! A must see on the bucket list, as long as you have an expert guide - Joseph went the extra mile from pick up to drop off and all the details in between. I ended the private guided 2 day tour having made a friend as well as really loved the experience on the Inca trail.
