VISTADOME OBSERVATORY by QESWA TRAVEL

We traveled from Spain to see Machu Picchu as a family and chose Qeswa Travel to organize our experience. Everything was perfectly coordinated from the first contact. The Vistadome Observatory service exceeded our expectations: the train ride was comfortable, with spectacular scenery and first-class service. Our guide was very professional, kind, and always attentive to us. Thanks to Qeswa Travel, we had an unforgettable trip to our beloved Peru. Without a doubt, we recommend them to those looking for a serious, personalized, and high-quality service.

Totally recommended

The experience was complete, from the personalized attention to the recommendations for places that were not part of the tour itself; the agency was very professional, as was the staff that accompanied us. The Vistadome Observatory is undoubtedly the best value for money for everything experienced inside and the vibe that exists on that trip to Machu Picchu.

once in a lifetime journey!!

Yvan absolutely took the best care of us on our trip to machu picchu. I was introduced to Yvan through a mutual friend who told me I must book our tour with Qeswa. Yvan was completely on top of everything, from booking our tickets for machu picchu to coordinating all of our transportation including bus and train rides as well as our personal tour guide for machu picchu. The communication was top notch. Yvan was always texting to make sure we were on schedule to board our trains and buses and arrive to our destination on time. He was constantly checking in to make sure we were okay and having the best experience possible. And he was always super quick to respond to any questions or issues that came up during the trip. Do not hesitate to book with Qeswa! They will take all the stress out of figuring out the complicated details of your machu picchu experience. They will take care of you from beginning to end. Thank you Qeswa for everything!
