Isao is just a fantastic guide. - Simply amazing service, our guide Isao was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate everything. He was able to answer all our questions. He never rushed my elderly parents as we navigated Machu Picchu stairs. He even took family pictures for us.

a once in a lifetime experience, simply the best 🇵🇪 - truly worth all the time, effort and energy spent here in Macchu Picchu, made better by our energetic and helpful guide, Isao Mayta Perez. Perhaps once in a lifetime may not be quite enough 🇵🇪

Best Guide to Macchu Pichu Mr. Isao! - Since the moment I booked the tour 3 months ago I was very well served. The service team responded promptly to all my questions and was always very attentive at all times of the tour (initial service / reception in Aguas Calientes and transfer / taxi). I thank in particular the Guide Mr. Isao, who showed us incredible details of the Shrine of Machu Pichu, explaining the story with illustrations and examples, in addition to positioning us for the best photos and waiting for the best moment due to the bad weather. It was an amazing experience and I recommend it!

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!
