A truly unforgettable trip

An absolutely exceptional experience! From the first contact, the team at Magical Cusco Travel Agency was very professional, kind, and attentive to every detail. Our tour of the city of Cusco, to Humantay Lake, the Rainbow Mountain, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu was perfectly organized, with punctual transportation, a well-planned itinerary, and a very knowledgeable guide who explained the history and culture of each place in an interesting and entertaining way. The commitment they have to providing high-quality service and making sure every visitor enjoys the experience to the fullest is evident. Thanks to them, getting to know Cusco was much more special and unforgettable. Without a doubt, I recommend Magical Cusco Travel Agency 100%. If you are looking for a reliable, organized agency with excellent customer service, this is the best option. I would travel with them again without thinking twice! Thank you, Karen, for all your warmth, help, and professionalism toward my whole family.

Seamless last minute trip

I booked this tour very last minute, less than a day before the tour begin. I was extremely amazed by the speed of response from Magical Cusco. Everything was so seamless to the extent I was doubting was it a scam. Magical Cusco travel agency did all they can to gave me the support I needed, I was extremely grateful to manage to find them last minute. The journey was challenging (car ride from Cusco to train station around 3am and dealing with jet lag etc) but it was 100% worthwhile the moment we standing at the top of this sacred magical place, accompanied by experienced tour guide arranged by the travel agency.

Day trip to Machu Picchu

From start to finish this team was amazing and delivered an amazing experience. First they arrived bright and early for pick up then walked us through the next steps to meet our guide in aguas calientes. David knew all the steps around the town and the ruins. So knowledgeable. Karen and Mario greeted us upon our train arrival back into Ollaytambo. WOW we had an amazing day and would highly recommend this team.

Mario's knowledge of the history of his country is simply wonderful. He is a very attentive person, funny and passionate about what he does. Thanks to him, the tour was much more than just a visit: we learned, laughed and really enjoyed every moment. It is rating that he loves to share his culture and enthusiastically conveys it.
