Really nice tour! The 11 hours were spent so quickly! Many stops and shorts distances. We visited three differents archeologic sites and not to mentionned the lunch! Wow! Everything was above expectations. Marcello, the guide was super nice and new a lot about history.
Our Sacred Valley day tour with Marcelo was the highlight! Marcelo is such a kind, respectful, warm-hearted, and genuinely positive person. It was an absolute joy to spend the day with him, and his passion for sharing the history, culture, and beauty of Peru made every stop even more meaningful. What made this tour truly special was not only the incredible places we visited, but also the atmosphere Marcelo created. By the end of the day, our small group of strangers had become friends, sharing conversations and memories together. That sense of connection doesn’t happen by chance—it was thanks to Marcelo’s welcoming personality and thoughtful guidance. Thank you, Marcelo, for your kindness, professionalism, and for making this such a memorable experience. Your company was truly appreciated, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Peru!
We enjoyed our Sacred Valley tour with Wilbert and our 2D1N Inca Trail with Primo. Both of our guides were so knowledgeable, we learned so much from them. We were grateful for Primo going out of his way to assist my mom on the Inca trek, he helped carry her bag when she was feeling exhausted and was patient when we needed to go a slower pace. He also took many wonderful photos of us at Machu Picchu that we will cherish forever. Thanks again!
Amazing tour, the whole experience was nicely planned, with enough time at each location. Great food that was included and an awesome tour guide Marcelo, highly recommend!
This tour is highly recommended, we covered the key sites and had enough time to explore and take photos. Our guide Marcello was super insightful and made us feel welcome. Everything was well communicated from the day prior via whatsapp and clear instructions with the itinerary of the day. Highly recommend!
A very relaxing trip, not exhausting, with an excellent guide, Reny, who gives it his all to ensure you have a great time; he knows a lot and is very attentive.
The day was perfect. We had the time to visit each site (Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero) without pressure, as well as a weaving workshop (Manos de la comunidad) with a presentation of the four types of camelids (llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, guanacos). The included dinner in Ollantaytambo was excellent. Angel, our guide, provided excellent explanations of historical facts and took care of everyone. The vehicle was very comfortable compared to others we took for different activities. I highly recommend this expedition with Angel.
5 star, learned a lot about the incas
Great excursion we all enjoyed it very much. We saw three historical sites and also along the way stopped at artisean shops one was a silversmith and also a weaving studio. Luncj was included and was great. Very worth the price of the excursion.
All wonderful, amazing day, very worth the experience, especially to see and learn more about the Inca empire.
