Good reliable company. Good communication, timely pickup, great guide. - Booked 3 trips through the company 1) Private tour with guide to Sacred Valley 2) Private transfer from Cusco to Puno. 3) Floating Island tour in Lake titicaca Both the private trips went perfectly well. All bookings done through whatsapp and payment made in cash. The driver arrived promptly at the time we arranged for pickup. He was knowledgeable about all sites we visited in the sacred valley and explained everything in detail and answered our questions. For the transfer to Puno as well , it was timely and smooth. The boat trip was a group trip. We enjoyed it as well.

Day learning about Incas - We did this day trip in April 2024. It was a very beautiful experience! The day is packed with various locations and incredible views. You learn a lot about Incas from the tour guide. Some of the locations require climbing stairs, so please plan accordingly!

Fantastic sacred valley and more tour - Junior did a great job showing us the “super sacred valley”. The tour was very informative and action packed. Team was great at communicating before and during the tour; it felt well organized.

Experienced guide and organized - Guide was knowledgeable and experienced. Everything was smooth. Made ~6 stops and felt organized well. Could be better to skip the first stop (trying to sell fabrics) and last stop (trying to sell jewelry at a shop). Be careful at the first stop, the fabric shop is a tourist trap scam. We asked a young lady about the price for a scarf and she said 160 soles. We offered 120 soles and she seemed pretty interested but then she started eyeing nervously at an older lady. The older lady is probably the boss here, she came over and said 700 soles! We’ve experienced similar “tourist” markups at other Cusco stores but this was by far the craziest and there’s no way the tour company doesn’t know about this. Otherwise the rest of the tour was great

Started with a small... - Started with a small delay in pickup from the hotel but is expected when you are picking up other passengers. Our tour guide did a great job giving information on the sites (Spanish/English) and keeping up with time at each site. Driver and the tour guide made us feel safe and we even kept our stuff in the bus when we were visiting sites. Overall great tour for the price... highly recommended.

Good value for the price - Our tour guide Linda was great. She had great knowledge of the Inca culture and the places visited. It is a lot to do in 13 hours and it is very tiring. I did it care much for stopping at the chocolate store or the jewelery store in Pisac. It is a good value for the money .

Too many shops - Interesting archeological sites and good lunch with big buffet. But way too many stops in shops to push you to buy every kind of souvenirs. Could have lasted two hours less (or could have spent more time in Pisac instead of arriving at closing time).
