Worthwhile and unforgettable adventure! - This was a wonderful and memorable experience! The tour was nicely scheduled, and the logistics seemed effortless. Since it was a private tour, we felt like we could go at our own pace and not feel rushed and trying to squeeze everything in. We also liked how we had enough time in Machu Picchu to not only take beautiful pictures but also gaze into the scenery and really look around the old city and imagine and discuss what could’ve been. Our driver drove responsibly and safely, and our amazing tour guide, Domingo, was extremely knowledgeable, caring, trustworthy, attentive, passionate, fun, and energetic. We learned so much history and culture from Domingo, and he was able to answer every question with ease! It was so insightful to learn more about the background of these places and find out more information from a local than what you read on Wikipedia. We really appreciated the logical and practical approach Domingo applied to the potential theories of these places versus sensationalizing elaborate theories. Highly recommend this tour and its setup. We felt really cared for and comfortable throughout this trip and so grateful for this incredible adventure! Thank you, Machu Picchu Viajes!

Unforgettable experience, fully organised and made even better by our wonderful guide Domingo! - This was one of the best tours my partner and I have ever experienced, made all the more enjoyable by our fabulous tour guide, Domingo! From start to finish, everything was enjoyable, informative and effortless. On day one we were picked up in a very comfortable van and taken to see so many highlights of the Sacred Valley, including traditional textile making in Chinchero, Moray, the Maras Salt Mines and the Ollantaytambo Sanctuary. We then took the Vistadome train to Aguas Calientes - staying in a very comfortable hotel for the night before making the trip to Machu Picchu the next day. And Machu Picchu - wow! Being there amongst the clouds in that stunning scenery made you feel like you were travelling back to the time of the Incas. It was absolutely magical! Domingo kept us informed at every step of the way, with good humour and a big smile. A truly unforgettable experience. Upon taking the train back to Ollantaytambo our driver picked us up and returned us to our hotel at Cusco. Having every little detail organised made us be able to relax and be able to 100% enjoy this wonderful part of the world. I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough and 10 stars to our guide Domingo and our wonderful driver. If you’re in Cusco - don’t look anywhere else - just book this tour!

Great private tour for older adults! - Amazing! Sandro and our driver Bengi were so kind and helpful. My father has a hard time with stairs and Sandro was with him the whole time. Sandro is so knowledgeable and passionate. We learned so much. He walked us through every step of the way. Highly recommend this private tour. You get to move at your own pace and have peace of mind that the itinerary is complete and ready for you. Remember to tip your tour guide and driver seperate first all of their hard work.

Awesome! - The trip was really incredible, we really enjoyed the tour! The beautiful views, accompanied by an excellent guide (Ramiro De Los Ríos), made our tour an unforgettable memory. As suggestions: 1. Do not stop doing the Pisaq walk because you are tired, it is a unique and very exclusive place 2. Carry a backpack with water and buy the basic rain pilot for 5 soles 3. Patience at the train station in Ollantaytanbo, it is usually a bit messy 4. Ramiro is an open book, the more prepared they are, the richer the exchange will be Greetings from Uruguay Ignatius

Great company with personalized exploration of Peru - Freddy and his team did a great job in organizing a very personalized tour for our family. As soon as we arrived in Peru we were greeted by Domingo and Benjamin - our tour guide and driver, respectively. Domingo did an amazing teaching us about the Incan structures, Peruvian culture and history. He was also an excellent guide on the Inca trial itself and helped all of us get through the trail even though we were not all experienced hikers. The hotels that were included in the trip were high quality and ideally located. The restaurants were also great — we are vegetarian, and Domingo went out of his way to find vegetarian options for us for all the included meals (and to point us toward for meals that we had on our own). Overall I cannot speak highly enough of this trip. We will be recommending to all of our family and friends. Special thanks to Domingo, Benjamin, Freddy, and all the people who put so much work into creating our trip.
