Tour Cusco surroundings with the best guide ever
We had a wonderful experience thanks to the best guide we had during our entire trip in Peru: Marco Antonio. He told us the history behind the archaeological sites in an engaging and passionate way, and he even quizzed us to make sure we were paying attention! He was amazing at bringing our group of 14 people together, involving everyone and encouraging us to share something personal. He also suggested the best photo spots and answered every single one of our questions with patience and expertise. Thank you so much, Marco Antonio! You made our trip truly unforgettable!

Charming, magic and history

“A goodbye full of gratitude from Peru after an unforgettable week at the Fam Trip Andarí 2025. I met beautiful and authentic places that left me breathless. I would like to express my sincerest thanks to Mr. Richard Velasquez, manager of Machupicchu Agency, for his warm hospitality and for making this experience truly enriching. Special thanks to Seleni for its excellent logistics, super organized and efficient. To René, for his infectious passion to make known the wealth of Peru and its elegance from day one. To the drivers, especially Mr. Miguel, for their excellent Service and dedication. Carlos Junior, my guide, for his intelligence and the wonderful way he taught me about the history of Peru; and Guadeloupe, the first guide in Lima, for his excellence. His entire team is unquestionably exceptional, 10 out of 10. To photographers, especially Lima, for capturing unforgettable moments. To all the collaborators of Machupicchu Agency, my deepest thanks for making this trip an indelible experience. From Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, I want to say that you have here another ally, Jelyneth Osorio Murillo of Costeña Travel.
