3-Day Cusco and Machu Picchu Tour

We had an incredible experience with Kantu Tours during our week in Cusco. As a family of four (including our two kids, ages 11 and 12), we booked private tours to the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Humantay Lake, and Rainbow Mountain, and every tour was well organized from start to finish. Our guide, Henry, was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Peru, patient with our kids, and always had a positive attitude that made every day enjoyable. Our driver, Jaime, was equally amazing. The mountain roads can be intimidating, but he drove with great care and professionalism, making us feel safe throughout the trip. Kantu Tours was also very attentive and communicative before and during our vacation. Every detail was handled smoothly, and we always felt taken care of. The only reason I'm not giving an even stronger recommendation is the restaurant selection for lunch. Since we paid a premium for private tours, we expected meals that reflected that level of service. While the lunch at Embrujo during our Sacred Valley tour was excellent, the meals on the other tours felt more like standard group-tour restaurants and didn't match the quality we anticipated for a private experience. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I would absolutely recommend Kantu Tours. The exceptional service from Henry, Jaime, and the entire team far outweighed our disappointment with the lunch selections. 10/10 for the professionalism, communication, and overall experience.

Rafael was an excellent guide and showed us some of the most interesting sites in and around Cusco. He had many insights into the history of the sites and the city.

Excellent Service!!! No Tickets, Delays and Availability (in covers). The excellent guides!!! Caesar in Cusco and Ronald in Machu Picchu. David and Ricard always following up and ordering. 100% recommended.

Great tour and attention by Edi without doubt the best of Cusco to guide that Tour. Full knowledge of the area, patience and great confidence

Our experience with Kantu Peru Tours was absolutely amazing! The communication when every individual was prompt and super helpful. Starting with Heidi when I booked for the wrong days. She was able to catch this based on the flight info I sent her and got it corrected for me ASAP! It was even more impressive since we booked the trip only a couple days prior. Our flight from Lima to Cusco was delayed and both Heidi and Waldir were amazing with keeping track of us and making sure we had everything we needed. They were very accommodating since we missed a part of the tour given the flight delay. Suggestion I would have is build in a full travel day before starting your adventure to account for delays. Cusco was also such a charming and interesting city, so I wish I had more time to just explore it. Evelyn came to our hotel and gave us an overview of our Machu Picchu excursion and did an amazing job of both giving us exact details (helped a lot!) and sharing some cultural insights and answering all our random questions. The entire trip to Machu Picchu was amazing. From the initial drive and getting to see more of the city, to the absolutely spectacular train ride and views (definitely upgrade to the vistadom if you can). When we arrived in Aguas Caliente we were met by someone with a sign with our name and she made sure we got to where we needed (super helpful since it was very crowded and hectic). The bus ride to Machu Picchu was also filled with breathtaking views! When we arrived we found our guide, Karol, super easy (he actually spotted us, not sure how lol) and he was an amazing guide. It’s a bit of a trek up and Karol was very patient and gave us so much good info on the way up. If you can do the extra trek up to Sungate. It’s an extra 40 min up the mountain, but the views are amazing and you get more time on the actual Inca Trail. Karol was also the absolute best photographer and captured the best memories for us. Those pics were worth the price alone! We were again greeted by our driver, Eddie, and it was another great drive back to the hotel in Cusco. The stars were out in full force, so the drive home was another great part of the trip. Eddie was also a great sport helping us with our Spanish and answering all our random questions. The last morning of our trip Waldir came personally to our hotel to escort us with the driver to the airport. He was so helpful throughout and just gave us a sense of ease. All we were focused on was having a great time and they did the rest in the most professional and helpful manner! I will definitely be back to Peru and will use Kantu for all our adventures 😊
