Thanks to Peru Private Tours we were able to see this wonder of the world!!! The energy of our guide Joel together with that of this surprising place turned our day into a moment that we will never forget. The pickup with Marco, our train trip, our guide Jocelyn who met us in Aguas Calientes and again Theo, Angie and the team behind it, allowed us to live a safe and incredible experience that will remain engraved forever in our lives.
¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir una reseña tan especial! Nos llena de alegría saber que pudieron conocer Machu Picchu y que la energía de Joel, junto con la magia de este increíble lugar, hizo que su día fuera inolvidable. 🇵🇪✨ Nos alegra también saber que cada parte de la experiencia estuvo bien acompañada: desde la recogida con Marco y el viaje en tren, hasta la bienvenida de Jocelyn en Aguas Calientes. Y, por supuesto, agradecemos muchísimo sus palabras para Theo, Angie y todo el equipo que trabaja detrás de cada viaje. Para nosotros, lo más importante es que nuestros viajeros se sientan seguros, acompañados y puedan disfrutar plenamente de cada momento. Saber que esta experiencia quedará grabada para siempre en sus vidas es la mejor recompensa para todo nuestro equipo. ¡Gracias por confiar en Peru Private Tours y por permitirnos ser parte de un recuerdo tan importante! Esperamos tener el placer de recibirlos nuevamente en Perú. 🇵🇪❤️
It truly was the best day ever. We had a break in the rain for Machu Piccu our guide Julio was the absolute best. And we got a double rainbow, which is very rare: all the guides were asking for their pictures taken as well. Communication all day was perfect and we were handed off at each transport change. The only struggle was there wasn’t a lot of time to get food in between each transportation change.
Thank you for sharing such a magical day—a double rainbow at Machu Picchu and Julio at his best sounds incredible! We’re thrilled communication and handoffs were seamless throughout. We truly appreciate your note about limited time to get food between transport changes; we’ll adjust our timing guidance and add a dedicated snack/meal window (or offer pre-ordered box lunches) so guests have an easier break. Thank you again for the wonderful feedback—we hope to host you on another unforgettable day soon.
