Absolutely breathtaking

This trip was absolutely amazing. Isao was the best tour guide I have ever had. His knowledge on the site was very extensive and he thought of everything to make our trip enjoyable. We arrived the night before to hike Wayna Picchu and met the rest of my family the next day and he was both our guide and their’s. Definitely recommend this company and guide. Our trip was unforgettable

Spectacular experience in Machu Picchu thanks to Isao

We had an excellent experience in Machu Picchu, thanks to the impeccable service of Isao, our tour guide. From the first contact he proved to be extremely professional, punctual and attentive. The night before the tour he wrote to introduce himself and explain clearly where he would be waiting and remind me of important indications. He kept an eye on the arrival of the train and sent me a message confirming that he was already outside waiting for us, which gave me a lot of peace of mind because there are many stops and changes to get from Cusco to Aguas Calientes and it can feel overwhelming for those who do not know about the process. When the train arrived, he met us immediately. Throughout the process, Isao was very helpful: he gave specific instructions, made sure we met all the requirements and guided us in an organized way so as not to lose any details. You can see that you know the place and the procedure perfectly. Already inside Machu Picchu, his explanation was extremely interesting and complete. He is very knowledgeable about the history, details and cultural implications, which made the visit even more charming and meaningful. He was also friendly, compassionate and very helpful throughout. An unexpected “plus”: know all the perfect angles for photos and many during the tour. Honestly, I didn’t expect to have practically a photographer included with the tour, it makes sure we have beautiful memories forever. I highly recommend the company and especially Isao as a guide. It is safe to be with a serious company and an excellent guide.

Estimada Edna, Muchísimas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de compartir una reseña tan detallada y especial. Nos alegra profundamente saber que su experiencia con Peru Hikers y, en especial, con Isao como guía, haya superado sus expectativas. Isao es un profesional muy comprometido y apasionado por la historia y la cultura de Machu Picchu, por lo que nos enorgullece saber que su conocimiento, organización y acompañamiento hicieron que su visita fuera tan significativa y bien guiada desde el inicio. También nos encanta saber que disfrutaron de sus consejos para las fotos y que ahora se llevan recuerdos tan valiosos de este lugar único. Agradecemos mucho su recomendación y la confianza depositada en nuestro equipo. Será un placer recibirlos nuevamente en Perú para seguir compartiendo experiencias auténticas y memorables. Un cordial saludo, Equipo Peru Hikers

Tour guides!

I loved this experience very much. My tour guide was isao and alfe, they were very nice and patient. One day isao had to step out, so alfe was our guide,when we were going to rainbow mountain, one of the hardest hike I did, he was able to lift up my nine year old cousins up the Mountain. Alfe was very patient and kind with us. Isao was also very good, it was 11 people he had to take care of. He was able to settle on what some people wanted and what other people wanted. He was very patient,kind, and informative. I’m 12 years old and I loves this trip!

Operator response

Dear Sandhya, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We are very happy to hear that you loved your trip and that Isao and Alfe took such great care of your group. Rainbow Mountain is definitely a challenging hike, and we’re proud of Alfe for being so patient, supportive, and kind—especially helping your cousin along the way. Isao will also be very grateful to know that his organization, patience, and explanations made the experience enjoyable for everyone in the group. At Peru Hikers, we always do our best to make sure every traveler feels safe, supported, and included, no matter the group size or difficulty of the adventure. It means a lot to us to know that you had such a positive and memorable experience. Thank you for traveling with Peru Hikers, and we hope you and your family keep enjoying many more adventures in Peru! Warm regards Peru Hikers
