Incredible Experience In Machu Piccu - We had the best experience in Machu Piccu with Isao our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and was passionate about what he did. He also cared about our experience more than anything with my wife and I’s first time in Peru. I would recommend asking for him specially if you can. His company also took care of a hiccup that happened and truly cared we had a good experience in one of the most beautiful places you’ll ever experience in the world.

Peru Hikers delivers! - My day at Machu Picchu with Peru hikers was perfect. From start to finish they set me up with an incredible day that went off without a hitch. The Observatory Vistadome train was incredible – you’ve got views of the mountains around you through the glass ceiling and walls, while a band plays and dancers dance around you. Then, someone met me at Aguas Calientes to make sure I got from the train station to the bus station and all the tickets were sent to me in advance so that there were no problems. Once I got to Machu Picchu, I was lucky enough to have Isao as my guide. He knew everything about the history, archaeology and natural beauty of Machu Picchu and the surrounding region. He took me wherever I wanted to go on the circuit and basically spent the entire day with me, answering all my questions and making sure I drank a lot of water. He will make sure you have the best photos that you will always have to remember the day. He’s also just an incredible person with an amazing life story and a beautiful heart. I cannot say enough good things about him and Peru hikers. If you’re considering this tour company, don’t go anywhere else! You won’t regret it!

10/10 Experience, hands down! - We had an absolutely amazing time! Our tour guide was Isao, who is now our brother. He was so knowledgeable, patient when I caught elevation sickness, and went above and beyond with getting all of our photos, videos, etc. we honestly don’t think the experience would have been as great without him. He even took us to an amazing restaurant with a beautiful view before we got in our train back to Cusco.
Now, to talk about the whole experience all together, it was absolutely a 10/10. The tour was so organized. We were communicated with so well, picked up from our air BnB, guided throughout so we were not lost one bit, and even had a driver waiting for us when we got back!
I will definitely be using this tour company in the future and recommend anyone visiting Peru to do the same. Also, the train and Machu Picchu is absolutely gorgeous!! I hope you enjoy like we did

100% recommend - So very very Happy with my trip to Machu Pichu. Very happy with my guide Isao today. We did Machu Pichu circuit 4, and huchuy pichu. He was waiting for me at the train station and was very informative, helpful taking pictures so I didn’t have to have selfie shots. 100% would recommend Peru Hikers. Door to door service from Cusco to Machu Pichu and back. They took care of everything bus, train, MP ticket, along with guide.
