They Saved Our Trip! - We were stuck without a way to get to Machu Picchu when our initial plans fell through. We contacted Machu Picchu Viajes through Viator to see if we could book a last minute tour. They contacted us promptly through WhatsApp to let us know that they did not have any availabilities left. Blossom however, was absolutely amazing and came up with a customized itinerary for us. This itinerary allowed us to get tickets for Machu Picchu in-person. Blossom, William, and the rest of the team made sure we were taken care of each step of the way. They organized all our transportation and made sure we were at the right place at the right time. We ended up with the coveted Circuit 2 tickets and was able to enter Machu Picchu at the most ideal time. We did not have to worry about a single thing and had time to enjoy ourselves. Their efficiency and care really made our trip memorable! Thanks again! PS. If you get William as your tour guide in Machu Picchu, he will go above and beyond to get you the perfect shot!

THE Experience - We had done all of our planning for our trip to Perú but we somehow forgot to book a Machu Picchu tour. We tried tons of places and they were all booked for the days we were going to be in Cusco. Finally we found Machu Picchu Viajes Perú!! They responded within an hour of receiving our requested days and not several days like other tour agencies. AND THEY HAD ROOM! We met with Fredy the night before and he was prompt and very thorough with telling us about everything that would transpire the next day. We were picked up by Roger who was also on time! We picked the Vistadome Train which I would definitely recommend. So much more fun to see the huge mountains! Our tour guide Sandro Ismael was AWESOME! He was patient with our kids and did such a great job at explaining the history of Machu Picchu to us and them. He was also an excellent photographer 10/10. This company is AWESOME!
