José was the best guide I have ever had! Punctual, super helpful, very informative!
Dear Elke, Your comment says a lot in just a few words. José will be very happy to know that his punctuality, helpful attitude, and informative guidance made such a positive impression during your Machu Picchu tour. Thank you for choosing Valencia Travel and for sharing your recommendation.
A very long day but the detailed planning by our guide Edwardo ensured it all ran smoothly and seamlessly. He was always on hand to ensure his extensive knowledge of the area was given to us. My husband became ill with altitude sickness at the end if the day and Edwardo was very attentive and ensured all avenues for the care of my husband had been covered before he left the hotel.
We are pleased to know that your full day to Machu Picchu ran smoothly despite being a long journey. Edward’s planning, knowledge, and attention clearly helped make the experience seamless. We are also glad he was able to support your husband with care when altitude sickness appeared at the end of the day.

Awesome holiday in Peru. Oscar was our tour leader for the 13 days while we were travelling around Peru. He was very informative, polite and helpful to our group. His organisation skill and caring attitude made our trip memorable. Machu Picchu was breath taking. The colours of Rainbow Mountain were stunning! The views from the train were absolutely beautiful. If we ever come back to Peru, will definitely try to have Oscar as our guide.

Our visit to Machu Picchu was truly one of the most extraordinary days of our lives and that was largely thanks to our wonderful guide, Elizabeth. From the moment we met her, she brought warmth, knowledge and genuine passion to every part of the experience. Her storytelling made the history of the Incas come alive in a way that felt deeply personal and meaningful. Learning about the Inca messenger runners carrying knotted rope messages across the Andes, the spiritual beliefs represented by the condor, puma and snake, and the traditions honouring Pachamama (Mother Earth) added such depth to the visit. Elizabeth shared history with such clarity and enthusiasm, but she also had a beautiful way of weaving in personal stories about her mother and grandmother, helping us understand the cultural traditions that still exist in Peru today. It made the entire experience feel authentic and deeply connected to the land we were standing on. When we reached our first breathtaking view of Machu Picchu, Elizabeth allowed us time to pause and absorb the moment before guiding us through the site with fascinating insights about its construction, history and rediscovery. Her knowledge was exceptional, yet she shared it in such a natural and engaging way that it never felt like a lecture, more like walking through history with a friend who truly loves what she does. She also made sure we noticed the small details we might otherwise have missed, from the water mirrors in the House of the Chosen Women to the incredible engineering used by the Incas to shape the stones and build the city. By the end of the day we felt not only that we had seen Machu Picchu, but that we had truly understood its story. Elizabeth is an extraordinary guide, knowledgeable, thoughtful, passionate and kind. She transformed what could have been simply a sightseeing trip into a deeply memorable and emotional experience. Tupananchiskama – until we meet again. We could not recommend Elizabeth more highly.

This was a once in a lifetime bucket list opportunity for my partner . The day started with the Observatory Train ride (separate review). On disembarking we were met by Elizabeth from Valencia Tours. We took the classic route 1&2 routes. She was friendly polite and most important of all knowledgable she see multiple methods of getting over the information, but not in a traditional stuffy guide way- she used personal reflection and knowledge to bring Macchu Picchu to life thereby enhancing the visit even further she was happy to take photos to ensure we had the best of memories of our visit. This tour and particularly Elizabeth are highly recommended.
