Excellent experience in the Sacred Valley! Juan Carlos was an extraordinary guide: very kind, patient, and with a lot of knowledge about the history and culture of the area. He made every site we visited come to life with his explanations and answered all our questions with great enthusiasm. The tour was very well organized, without rush and with enough time to enjoy each place and take photographs. In addition, he shared very useful recommendations and details that made the experience even more special. Without a doubt, one of the best tours we have done in Peru. We highly recommend Juan Carlos to explore the Sacred Valley. Thank you very much for an unforgettable day!
We had a great day exploring the sacred valley with Juan Carlos. We traveled with our 4 kids ages 11-18. JC was very flexible and accommodating to what we wanted to see and do on our timeline. He did his best to get us to destinations ahead of large tour groups which helped us enjoy each location more. He is a great storyteller and we learned a lot about the history of the area and the local people. Definitely would recommend a tour with Juan Carlos if you’re looking for a family tour.
We took the Sacred Valley tour on Aug. 16. We have 8 people in our group. Our tour guide is Juan Carlos. He is knowledgeable and speaks English very well. He and a driver accompany us all day. We enjoyed the tour. The tour company is flexible. They managed pickup us in Urubamba hotel at 7am, and dropped us off at Cuzco hotel after the tour around 4:30pm. Our tour include: - Salt mine of Maras - Moray - Pisac - Sacasayhuaman The van is very comfortable, fits 8 of us and luggages very well. We will recommend this private tour to friends!
Good evening. I can describe the tour as FANTASTIC. The guide Edy was very attentive and organized, managed to complete the whole tour, the driver was very responsible, I felt confident with his handling. I give everyone a 10 out of 10, Thank you very much.
We arranged private transportation to Urubamba on our first day. Unfortunately, our initial flight was severely delayed, causing us to miss our connection but the driver, Leo, kindly waited for us at Cusco airport for hours. When we finally arrived around 5:30pm, he drove skillfully and efficiently to get us to the hotel. For our return from Machu Picchu to Cusco, we booked a private tour with our guide, Carlos. He spoke excellent English, was very knowledgeable, engaging, and made the day truly enjoyable. Even our teens had a great time chatting with him! The company was extremely responsive to both texts and emails, which made us feel secure and well taken care of throughout the trip. Highly recommended!
Everything was excellent in and arouund Cuzco. All the transfers + Cuzco full day tour + Sacred valley full day tour + Palcoyo rainbow full day tour was organized by Miss Ruth from Libertrek Peru. Wish we had not just 5 but more time in and around Cuzco...so if you, world travelers are coming to Cuzco, book that extra day :) Many thanks for you Miss Ruth and all your co-workers...especially to Senor Artemio.
