Awesome Experience with Sacred Valley Tour

Luis is a fantastic tour guide! He is super friendly, humorous, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Also kudos to the tour owner who are very accommodating to allow us to bring our large suitcases on the tour bus. Due to high attitude sickness, we are not returning to Cusco after the tour so need to bring our luggage and store them at the train station. Overall Latin America is a great tour company. The driver Roman has also done a good job transporting us. Highly recommend this tour!

Machu Picchu with expert Luis

We had an amazing time learning about an amazing place from our tour guide, Luis. He was very knowledgeable and we made the experience so much better in our opinion. My financee asked many questions and Luis always had the answer. He also did a great job explaining where archaeologists and historical theories differed and why. Also, the driver knew the best routes and areas to park so we used our travel time much more efficiently.

Operator response

Hi Joseph, Thank you so much for your time ans share this amazing review which made our day so great. We are delighted to hear that Luis could provide such deep insights, especially regarding the different archaeological theories—it really does make Machu Picchu come alive. We're glad your fiancée’s questions were answered so thoroughly! It’s also great to know that our driver’s expertise helped save time, allowing you to focus on the experience. We’ll be sure to pass your praise along to both of them. Best wishes @MachupicchuLatinAmerica team!!!

Trip to Cusco

Freddi is a great resource and organizer. He coordinated our trip with precision with barely 2 weeks to spare at a very reasonable cost. .Bryan our guide for our Machupicchu was fantastic. He spoke impeccable English , guided us through the crowd and showed us the best spots to take pictures. He was ever so willing to take pictures of us and took some fabulous shots. I would definitely recommend Freddi and his tour group.

Absolutely phenomenal

Michael was an incredible tour guide! He was not only knowledgeable about the Inca culture but also made the experience so fun with his humor and engaging stories. He went above and beyond, catering to my mother-in-law’s needs with so much care. We learned a lot and laughed even more. Highly recommend Michael if you want a tour that is educational, heartwarming, and entertaining!
