The whole week I stayed in Cusco I took Mr. Carlos's tour and honestly I recommend it. Very punctual and good service. Always attentive to WhatsApp for the pickup notification and contact with the guide. I went alone and felt safe throughout the Tour. Recommended
Carlos was a great choice to hire for our tours. We did 3 tours and all of them were perfect: Colorful Mountain; car to hydroelectric plant for Aguas Calientes trail; Sacred Valley. On all the tours we were well assisted, on the Sacred Valley day, Carlos took us to a great restaurant! I recommend to everyone, Carlos is very attentive.
We booked all the tours with Carlos at the agency itself and it was all incredible! Transport, calm and helpful guide! An experience that was worth every penny, I recommend it with my eyes closed!
Amazing service, they drive us from Cusco to the rainbow mountains safely while being engaging and answering any questions we had about Peru. They helped my parents get a bike to the top and took care of them while the rest of us hiked. These guys are very trusting, engaging, and welcoming. Thank you for making Cusco trip happen for us. See you again!
Of all the tours I tried in Cusco, this is the best; it fulfills everything agreed upon in the contract, in addition to having an affordable price. The walking sticks they gave us also helped us climb the mountain.
Amazing experience with Carlos and Alex. Early pickup so we were the first people to rainbow mtn. Beat the crowds and very reasonable pricing. Next day drove us to Pisac and waited for us to hike, shop, eat. Very good trips and very nice people.
This was very good value for money- easily organised, I enjoyed the trip very much. I then booked 2 more amazing trips with Carlos. Machu Pichu and the Amazon. 5 star highly recommend.
He was an agent who walked in the road and explained it very kindly. I was very concerned about traveling with a small child, and I explained and recommended the most convenient of the many tour methods so that the families could come without much difficulty. It was really good where we had breakfast and lunch! Starting at dawn, you shouldn't be on the road in advance, and if you call me that the vehicle has arrived, tell me to come down, and if you ride a motorcycle and go up, I would like to take care of a small portion of your hand, such as asking me to take the gloves. Recommend!
From planning (we met to finalize details such as costs and itinerary), on the day of the excursion and after it (as we were taken to the airport for the trip we had scheduled) the care has been excellent. The planned was 100% fulfilled, we ate delicious and had time for each activity with tolerance, as we went at our own pace on the hike. We were constantly asked how we were going and if we needed anything because we were between 4600 and 5100 m.a.s.l. We also knew, and within the time stipulated for the route, the Red Valley which is an impressive visual spectacle and from which we returned happy. The whole team of Andean Path tours super friendly and full of information to share, which made us feel like family. It is my second trip to Cusco with them and I always recommend it for the human and professional quality they have.
Muchas gracias amigos por confiar en la agencia y desearles feliz viaje y hasta la próxima vez
Excellent organization, all calculated by Carlos not to worry about absolutely anything. We did all week with organized tours and we can't complain about any. Super recommended. We are going to come back because we have things to see and we will definitely organize the next trip with him.
