Excellent tour with breath taking views. Wealth of history. Very knowledgeable tour guide. Pick up on-time in a clean, comfortable bus.
Excellent tour! Our tour guide, Jose, did a magnificent job of providing history and context at each of the sights. We took an English tour. They provided water (and at one point, umbrellas). I would have never understood the depth of the Inca culture and traditions without his education and the excellent book of illustrations he used to complete the time into an understandable landscape. Thanks Jose!
We had a great time on the tour. The tour guide was great and he was very patient with my mom. She has a hard time walking. He made her feel good while he was in the tour.
Jose was great! Knowledgeable and provided context to the sites we visited. We had a private transport for our group which was great and the driver had plenty of water available for us during the tour and kept cleaning the car each time we stepped out.
Great tour experience. Very knowledgeable and very hospitable. The views and experience was spectacular.

Jose the guide was excellent, knowledgeable, kind. Alex was an excellent driver. The trip was full of great knowledge, camaraderie and culture.
Beautiful experience, the history and culture were very interesting
Our guide was exceptional. He led us with all tours and kept us informed of the schedule as well as the history. Best of all he steered us away from cheap souvenirs and led us to the real stuff.
Walter was an excellent tour guide and the same can be said if Mr. Charles's driving. The tour was well paced and informative without being overwhelming.
