Incredible review of Cusco’s history and emotions

The experience my wife and had on our tour with Rolly Carrasaco was nothing short of incredible. Rolly shared with us the history of Cusco along with the emotions of the people who lived and still live in the area. What we expected to be tour quickly turned into one of the best days of travel I believe we will ever have, and a new connection to the amazing place and people of Cusco and Peru.

I loved everything. Beside the fact that machu picchu is indeed a wonder of the word and a unique place, I want to express my appreciation to this team that have made it happen so the experience was smooth, 100 % pleasant and unforgettable. They organised everything from A to Z, I didn't have to worry about anything, no hassle, no bad surprises: everything was taken cared so your focus of attention was only what matters: machu picchu. The train journey was unique, and my guide was so attentive. With could walk at my pace, having time for pictures, pausing to breathe that fresh air and taking the energy of this place In. Muchas gracias por todo

Cusco archeological sites with our amazing guide Edward

After returning from our Machu Picchu trip with Valencia Travel, we were picked up by Edward at the Poroy train station, another Valencia Travel tour guide. On our way to the hotel in Cusco, he gave us a lot of suggestions on possible dinner places and things to do in Cusco. We ended up deciding to do a guided tour of the 4 archeological sites around Cusco 2 days later, and coincidentally Edward was our guide for that tour! Edward and the driver showed up to our hotel on time. On the drive to the 4 archeological sites and throughout the tour, he taught us a lot about the history of Cusco and the Incas. He has a Masters degree in architecture and Inca engineering, and it showed — he told us so many interesting details and stories about the places we visited. His depth of knowledge was truly remarkable, and he made the tour so much more interesting and educational than if we had just decided to visit these places on our own. We learned so much from him about those sites and he answered so many of our questions thoroughly. As a special treat, he also took us to a co-op nearby where we got to feed llamas and alpacas! We got a lot of great photos with the animals and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Since our flight leaving Cusco was later that day, we needed to get back to our hotel by a specific time, and Edward timed the tour perfectly — we got back 5 minutes early! All in all, we highly recommend Edward and Valencia Travel!

Operator response

Dear 67nupurg, Thank you for your unique comment! We are so happy to know you had a fantastic experience with Edward and the rest of the crew during your Cusco city tour experience. We will let Edward and all the team know about your kind words. We are sure they will be as happy as we are to know about them! We hope to welcome you back again in Peru soon!
