Memorable experience - Is was an incredible tour guide! He made my experience unique, and I would love to do it all again. He is knowledgeable, punctual, and adaptable. He constantly adapting the tour to your requests. It felt really easy to do such a cross-country tour. In addition to being a great photographer, I had some fantastic pictures. Overall, I'm very happy; you can not go wrong with choosing his company.

Highly recommend and the best personalised experience - We did the Machu Picchu and sacred valley private guided tours with Peru Hikers and it was nothing short of amazing. The Machu Picchu trip was well planned right from the train to the bus where we always had a guide to help us with the arrangements. Noe who was guide at Machu Picchu was very knowledgeable and helpful. The Sacred valley tour was very well organised by Danny right from our hotel pick up to taking us to all the right places and took the time in each place to provide history and take some wonderful photos. He was very humble and provided the personalised experience which we will carry in our memories. Highly recommend especially if you don’t want a rushed tour with too many people in a packed bus. Peru hikers will tailor according to your needs and our tours with them was the best in our Cusco trip.

Will be booking with this tour agency again upon our return - I miss Peru already! My sister and I are already planning a trip back and will be choosing Peru Hikers again, but a different tour this time; there's so much to see! It was hands down the best tour we've been on. The history and beauty of the Sacred Valley, Cusco and Machu Picchu especially left me stunned. Our guide really tied the experience together for our group. He was knowledgeable, respectful, fun yet professional. There are more than a few travel agencies/guides to choose from and I am so happy we went with Peru Hikers. We made lifelong friends and witnessed some of the most beautiful places on earth. Thanks, brother!

It was an amazing experience with a very nice, funny and knowledgeable man. - It was lots of fun, beautiful setting and good vibes. We woke up early which I wasn’t happy about but it was definitely the right call as you can miss the peek heat of the day. Breakfast and lunch was included, they were both all you can eat buffets of delicious food. Tour guide spoke perfect English and was very kind.

Peru Hikers give the BEST tours - Wow. My boyfriend and I just finished our time in Cuzco and the Sacred Valley of the Incas. I’m not much of a review person, but the guided tour really made the experience authentic, holistic and fun. Peru Hikers and our guide Juancho added so many layers of insight, depth and personal experience, sharing his generations of knowledge and love for culture, science and history. His whole vibe just took things to a new level. His passion for Peru and nature was contagious. His stories about growing up in the middle of Incan history made everything come alive. It wasn't like your usual tour guide spiel; it was like hanging out with a friend who's super stoked about their hometown. Walking through ancient ruins or checking out bustling markets felt like a behind-the-scenes tour, complete with all the cool insider info. It wasn't just about the history; it was about connecting with the culture in a way that felt down-to-earth. If you're up for an adventure that's part history, part cultural immersion, and a whole lot of fun, this tour with Peru Hikers is the way to go. It's like getting a VIP pass to the heart and soul of Cuzco and the Sacred Valley. They adjust the timeline if you want to stay at places longer, know all the best food spots along the way, are your cheerleader when the stair climbing gets arduous, answers every question you could possibly have with a smile. 10 on 10 highly recommend.

Great tour through Peru - My girlfriend, and I just finished up our three day tour of Cusco, the sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. What a fantastic experience! I’m so glad that I checked this off my bucket list finally. It was more than I had hoped for. Cusco is such a Fascinating city with a mix of old world, European charm, modern amenities, and a glimpse into old South American colonial/Inca culture. The sacred valley tucked into the Andes mountains and visiting Inca sites was amazing to see. Then when we got to Machu Picchu it was much more than I expected. The archaeological site is so much bigger than I thought and the information taught to us about it by our amazing Guide, who I would highly recommend named Juancho was fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about this tour. It was recommended to us by friends who had used it several months ago and they were right. The guide spoke several languages and made us feel very comfortable. Not only did we learn a lot, but he also guided us through our shopping experience because we were looking to buy gifts for family members back home. This is one of those trips that I will remember forever . Thank you for Peru Hikers.
