Highly recommend deep dive into Inca past - Our tour started with a timely pickup from our hotel. A private driver (Luis) and our guide (Gary/Garcia) came in a private car. They set out the itinerary for the day and let us choose stops to get snacks or go shopping.
My favourite part of this trip was that Gary is a local with deep ancestral knowledge of the Inca. This meant the depth of knowledge he was able to give and the explorations behind the cultural places we visited were beyond what you’d ever receive in a normal group tour. If you are curious and truly want to learn and understand beyond a superficial tourist depth the ways of the Inca and every aspect of their lives and history, this tour is simply amazing.
We covered major highlights like the Maras salt mines, Moray, and Ollantaytambo and in each case I could write a trip report on each site with the things we learned. Our guide answered every random question I had and dove in the deep history of each place. He knew exactly when to be where to avoid the large crowds and tour buses so we got the best possible experience and photos. It truly felt like a perfectly tailored experience. We left feeling so amazed by the Inca and were thankfully to have such a knowledgeable guide. This is a highly recommended tour!

Fantastic tour with Luis from Machupicchu Latin America!! - I booked the tour with the Machupicchu Latin America tour operator for September 5th, 2023. My tour guide - Luis, and the driver - Luis, arrived at my hotel on time. My tour guide, Luis, was very informative and knowledgeable about all the historical sites we visited that day. Since this is a private tour, our itinerary was flexible and accommodative. I was not pushed to any "shopping" souvenir places; it was all about visiting the historical sites I wanted to visit and see within the recommended destinations. I highly recommend this tour operator and Luis, the tour guide!!

Excellent family tour with Gary and Román - Excellent family tour. We were with our guide Gary and driver Román on a very complete tour with our little 5-year-old children and it was spectacular. We did Cuzco, Chinchero, Maras, Moray, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu. 3 unforgettable days with excellent historical explanation. Very good attention and service. Attentive and attentive to everything, especially our children. We recommend them 100%

Marvelous time with Michael and Latin America - Once in a lifetime experience starting from the booking process, transportation, accomodation, great weather and the best tour guide Michael at this point I totally agree when travellers say that a tour guide can make your trip a great experience or a complete disaster, thanks to all stops that we had Michael had always something to say, tell and explain regarding history, flora or fauna, local tales he is knoledgeable I had such amazing time while I explored the high andes. I wouldn't ask for any better experience all thanks to this amazing crew and of course thanks to Michael who was always there for the group he went above and beyond. All in all a trip of a lifetime regarding weathet I would recommend to ask and request for Michael he is one of a kind
