Fantastic Machu Picchu Tour

Our day visiting Machu Picchu was absolutely unforgettable! We were accompanied by our guide, David, and followed Circuit 3, which offered an incredible perspective on this iconic site. Walking through the ancient terraces and stone paths, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery, felt truly magical. David’s deep knowledge and storytelling really brought the place to life — from the history of the Inca civilisation to the spiritual significance of the different temples and structures. He answered all our questions with passion and detail, helping us to appreciate the genius and mystery behind this world wonder. We were also lucky with the weather, which was clear and sunny, making the experience even more enjoyable. Being able to explore at a relaxed pace, take in the views, and feel the energy of Machu Picchu was something we’ll never forget. We can only recommend visiting Machu Picchu with a knowledgeable local guide like David — it truly makes all the difference in understanding and connecting with this extraordinary place.

Best tour company in Peru

David is one of the best tour guides in Peru. He took care of all our request. We stayed at the best hotels we had door-to-door service. We stayed at Hotel Nobility in Lima, Hilton Garden and Sonesta in Cusco, Hotel Jose Antonio in Puno. We took the expedition Perurail as it was night time and vistadome on our way back to Cusco. This was a good suggestion. Every included lunch option was well thought of and we enjoyed our food in Lima, Ica, Machu Picchu! The views were amazing! All entrances were paid for. We had requested less hiking on our trip due to various age groups, and he made sure that he didn’t have to hike as much. He was equipped with oxygen at rainbow mountain and always made the right suggestions for a group. I highly recommend her services and appreciate everything. He has done for us on this trip. Number one travel agency for your trip in Peru.

Unforgettable Machu Picchu Tour With An Extraordinary Guide

Peruvian Culture Tours gave my family and me one of the best travel experiences we've ever had. We booked this tour to learn more about Machu Picchu, and our guide, David Quispe Baez, exceeded every one of our expectations. From the beginning to the end of the trip, David did everything in his ability to make us feel cared for with meticulous preparation, seamless arrangements, and attention to every detail so that we could fully enjoy the experience. His expertise is extraordinary: as someone of Incan descent who even speaks the native Quechua language, he brought the history and culture of Machu Picchu to life in a deeply moving manner. He didn't just share facts - he spoke to us in stories, connected the past to the present, and allowed us to truly feel the spirit of this incredible place. If I could have David guide every tour in Peru, I absolutely would. His professionalism, kindness, and passion for his culture make him truly one of a kind. I cannot recommend Peruvian Culture Tours enough - by supporting this small, hardworking business, you're not only guaranteeing yourself an unforgettable trip but also helping them continue to grow and provide for their families. Thank you, David, for giving us memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

My favourite tour guide!

Cannot put a higher rating than the 5 stars but if I could I would. My guide David was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and unbelievably kind. Really detailed in his explanations and does not rush. Also make sure that you feel comfortable, that everything is taken care of in the planning. He really takes care of you.

Amazing and very well organized trip

If you want to travel without any troubles and no worries, you should book with Peruvian Culture Tours. David was amazing. I did the 3 Day Machu Picchu tour with him and he prepared everything in advance and came to my hostel the evening before to explain the journey. Also during the journey he was always happy to help and found flexible solutions, for example when I wanted to change from circuit 3 to circuit 2 last minute.
