Everything was excellent! Highly recommended for this type of experience where there are many things to consider and coordinate. The agency was attentive at all times to ensure that every detail went well, from picking me up in Cusco to dropping me off back in Cusco two days later. The team always responded super quickly to any questions that arose. Efraín and the team are amazing! Thank you.

The best tour of my life
Visiting the Sacred Valley and then going to Machupicchu are experiences that have nothing to describe. You need to be there, feel the energy and understand the mystery with the explanations of the guides. It was the best experience I've ever had.

Machu Picchu Last Minute 2 day Tour
I booked the "last minute Machu Picchu tour" with this agency and it was great! The staff was super attentive and genuinely helpful and kind. They arranged transportation directly from my stay in Cusco and made sure to drop me off where I needed to upon getting back to Cusco. They also handle the lodging and train ride for Aguascalientes and bus ride to Machu Picchu. I was traveling alone so it was really nice to not have to worry about all the logistics at the crack of dawn in a country I had not previously visited. I ended up getting a private tour guide which was awesome! They walk you through the process for acquiring entrance tickets to Machu Picchu, which was also nice to not have to navigate, as it is a 2 day process(the wisest thing to do is getting entrance tickets several months in advance), but I didn't book in enough advance. So I waited in line with the help of the guide was able to get a decent circuit. Now I know that even if I would have gotten an entrance ticket in advance, I would still book this tour as you definitely get your money's worth having all of the travel logistics taken care of for you. The staff was amazing and super sweet the entire process, including the million questions I had before booking. I highly recommend this agency. I am so grateful for them, as they made my experience phenomenal! The tour guide was knowledgeable and took great pictures of me, which I was not expecting a personal photographer, it was really nice to have pictures of me there!!! I am quite happy with the experience and service provided.

Awesome experience!
I've always been skeptical about letting a tour agency do all my vacations planning but they've proven me wrong. The itinerary was executed to a tee and the customer service was exceptional.

Thank you @cuscoperu for making the trip a wonderful experience
We traveled to Cusco with nothing planned, no excursions, no tickets to Machu Picchu, nothing.
I contacted several companies, and none offered a solution... except CuscoPeru, which offered us some options at reasonable prices.
They took care of us from day one, at every moment of our trip and excursions.
They assigned us specialized guides who passionately shared their culture with us. Each excursion was a masterclass in the life, culture, and history of the Inca Empire and their people.
We would like to special thank Maria Condori Valencia, our operations agent, for her daily concern; Juan Carlos Bello, our guide in Machu Picchu, for sharing his knowledge with us with passion; Richard Bandera, our guide on the excursion to the Sacred Valley, for sharing his culture with us; and Rosa Madera for her invaluable excursion in the citytour of Cusco.
Thank you @CuscoPeru for your efforts in making this trip exceed all our expectations.
Highly recommended to make your trip a magnificent experience

Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to seeing you again to continue sharing more adventures!

I would highly recommend this tour agency CuscoPeru for making tour! My husband and I just enjoyed our trip and the guides made all tour for us😻😍 from Cusco-Ollantaytambo-Aguas Calientes-Machu Picchu and back to our hotel 😻 The hotel which they recommend for us was also good, despite on 3 stars, which we chose there in our room we even had jacuzzi🤠
