After another tour company canceled my Machu Picchu tour a few days before my trip, I was scrambling trying to figure out what to do. I found Sakura Expedition, and they immediately stepped in to help me. Yajaida and the entire team was incredibly responsive, reassuring, and efficient throughout the entire process. Yajaida helped me secure both Circuit 1 and Circuit 2 tickets, which I honestly thought would be impossible that last minute. My actual tour with Jair ended up being amazing. He was knowledgeable, patient, and made the experience feel very personal and enjoyable instead of rushed. He genuinely cared about making sure I had a great experience and understood the history and significance of Machu Picchu. I’m so grateful Sakura Expedition was able to turn a very stressful situation into one of the highlights of my trip. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a visit to Machu Picchu, especially if you want a company that is responsive, organized, and truly cares about you.
¡Qué emoción leer tu comentario! 😊💚 Saber que pudimos ayudarte en un momento tan complicado y convertir esa situación en una experiencia inolvidable significa muchísimo para nosotros. Nos alegra saber que todo el equipo haya estado a la altura de tus expectativas y que hayas podido disfrutar de Machu Picchu como lo habías soñado. ¡Esperamos verte nuevamente en una próxima aventura por Cusco y Perú! ✨
The tour Company I originally booked for Macchiu Picchu cancelled on me the night before I was supposed to go for the tour. I was so devastated as I didn’t know what to do in that moment as I planned my vacation to do Macchiu Picchu(P.M.) and return to my country the following day. I stumbled on this tour company by chance while calling several companies to see if anyone could help me go to Macchiu Picchu from Cusco. The customer service agent who picked up the call for the company was very polite, spoke good English and explained to me that I needed an extra day to be able to go M.P. I had to cancel my return flight and book a new day and the lady pulled every string possible from staying on the phone with me to get early morning train tickets to M.P., organizing my pickup from my hotel in Cusco to Ollyantanbo train station where there was a guide there to recieve me and show me how to get the entrance tickets to M.P. I was finally able to visit M.P. as that was the only reason why I flew to Peru. This tour company is well organized, they have a solid communication system making sure you stay informed every step of the way. If you are looking for a wonderful and stress free experience in Peru definitely go with Sakura Express. I couldn’t thank them enough. 🤗
I had a very nice time, everything wonderful I recommend total, the first attention, I knew very beautiful places thanks to you
my trip to Machu Picchu was one of the best travel experiences i have ever been on. i wish to thank the Sakura Tour Operator for arranging this for me. i especially wish to thank your travel specialist, Liz Guerra for all the planning and care that she spent on making this such a memorial day for me. thank you all.
Excellent, the organization, were always very vigilant about us. That’s why we don’t just take your tour in Machu Picchu with the Colca Canyon and live the experience of Paracas and the Huancachina Oasis. 100% recommended.
