Wow, what an amazing experience and tour guide. Our other tour got cancelled two days before and we didn’t think there was a chance we could find anything else decent. Well, we were wrong! Our tour guide, Samuel, was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly. I can’t imagine having had a better experience with our initial tour company. Highly recommend especially if you want to learn about Machu Picchu and its history in detail from a local.
I was very satisfied. It was all very organized. There was assistance from the agency at all transport connections as well as at the entrance to Machu Picchu archaeological park. The guide Miguel made an excellent presentation at each point of the route, which was the circuit 1, with a panoramic view of the city. Don't go into town. The guide took care to complement the presentations with a photo album to better illustrate the information. Despite the organization of the tour, there was a 3 hour delay in the return due to the train company. Even so, the agency's guides provided the necessary assistance. Therefore, I recommend not taking the tour if you consider a possible delay in returning to Cusco. I emphasize that the tour requires a certain conditioning of the participants.
Muito obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência! Ficamos felizes em saber que você ficou satisfeito com a organização do passeio e que Miguel conseguiu tornar o circuito 1 informativo e interessante, complementando as informações com fotos ilustrativas. Lamentamos o atraso no retorno causado pela companhia de trem, mas agradecemos por reconhecer que nossa equipe ofereceu toda a assistência necessária. Suas observações sobre o condicionamento físico necessário e sobre possíveis atrasos serão muito úteis para futuros viajantes. Agradecemos sua recomendação e esperamos recebê-lo novamente em outra experiência em Machu Picchu!
Roy, our guide was super fun and chill except for sometimes he would leave me and my friends behind and had to find them. But overall experience was good. He’s a great photographer and gives a history of Machu Picchu.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed your time with Roy and appreciated his knowledge and photography. We also appreciate your feedback and will make sure future tours are even more seamless for everyone.
