The knowledge our experienced guide Elder showed every step along the way was outstanding. He was like a magnifying glass into history. I highly recommend Elder. He is a very special person.
We had an amazing private guide with Elder!! He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions about Machu Picchu. I greatly enjoyed how in-depth he went with the history of the Incas. His photography skills were impeccable and made sure we went to the best locations for pictures within our circuit! I would book with him again!
Value of a tour with a guide, you learn a lot....................................................
Elder was excellent!! Thank you very much for everything :)
The bus ride went as expected. It was punctual, drove safely, took us up to Machu Picchu and drove us back down to Aguas Calientes.
Alfredo was very helpfull and kind in order to arrange the tickets and the tour. We had a great visit with him.
I had an incredible time with Elder! His explanations throughout the tour were clear and engaging. He was exceptionally kind and took stunning, high-quality photos for us along the way. To top it off, he recommended fantastic local restaurants after the tour ended. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!
This excursion was very well curated. We had the opportunity to book a private car ride from our hotel in Cusco to the train station in Ollantaytambo. Once we arrived in Aguas Calientes, Elder, our guide, greeted us and had us moving on time. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, with a great attitude and kindness. We learned so much about the peruvian culture! I highly recommend this service.
We had an excellent tour guide, Jorge Elder. He was very knowledgeable and kind. He gave us time to rest and was very patient. We recommend him 100%
Jorge was an absolute gem of a guide. Explained everything well, and made the experience the easiest I’ve ever had.
