Excellent attention and explanation of part of the guide in each of the activities the schedules were adequate in each of the activities with Justin and driver Joel
We did the 3-day Essential Cusco & Machu Picchu package with Inkayni Peru Tours, and having Yeny as our guide elevated the entire experience. Her knowledge of Inca history, Cusco’s cultural heritage, and the spiritual meaning behind each site made every stop—from Qoricancha to the overlooks above the city—feel richer and more meaningful. What we appreciated most was her patience and thoughtfulness. She checked in often about our pace and comfort with the altitude, made sure we had time for photos and breaks, and handled all the logistics seamlessly. When we reached Machu Picchu, her explanations helped us see details and stories we never would have noticed on our own. By the end, it genuinely felt like we were traveling with a friend rather than a guide. If you’re booking this tour, ask for Yeny—she made our short trip smooth, joyful, and unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Widely recommended and reliable our guide Ernesto Cusi (everything explained and shared, worried and busy that we were comfortable, cared for and enjoying) from Inkayni Tour made our vacation an unforgettable experience. Always attentive and watchful that we had great experience
Excellent experience when taking several tours with guides Justin, Johan and driver Roni, people of great heart and moral quality. Pending at all times of the members of the group and with the highest security measures. My respect and thanks to them. If in the future I had the opportunity to come back, I would definitely request to be integrated into your group to continue to know more beautiful places in your country. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This tour was one of the hardest but most rewarding experiences I have ever had. Especially for the company of the group and for the care and guidance of Julius Caesar, who has given us all help and knowledge. I found him super passionate about his roots and culture, he shared it with us with a lot of fervor and knowledge. I am very happy to have shared this adventure with him and highly recommend him as a guide.
It has been a great experience accompanied by lisseth yupanqui a great service, with spectacular views and good talk
Excellent experience! Our guide Lisseth Yupanqui was very good and always attentive to us being well and feeling comfortable, always took us to the best places to take amazing photos and take an unforgettable memory.
It was amazing the experience and the guides were incredibly attentive to all the scheduled tours and very punctual in everything, thank you to everyone involved, Liset Yupanqui, Johan and Roni, are amazing
Our visit to Cuzco, Chinchero, Moray and Maras and Machu Pichu was an amazing experience thanks to the guide Julius Caesar “JC” for friends. He explained about the Inca culture and in every place we went he had the patience and cordiality necessary to explain everything to us in detail. We recommend 100% the tour with you as you will have one of the best experiences on your trip.
Very well organized and punctual especially Mr. Saul very good organizer and Guide of the trip we loved taking it with the
