Being escorted from my hotel to the tour bus by the tour guide was fantastic. Having someone meeting and my party at the train station to take use to the next location was superb. Both tour guides were outstanding, very personable and knowledgeable about the history and people. I would suggest this trip a thousand times over.”

“Our trip began very early and when we met our guide Richardo we've already traveled in a minibus and a train for 3 hours. Richardo was excellent with his knowledge of Andians and Machu Picchu experience. After the guided tour, I had the afternoon to walk around and go to the hot springs which was recommended by Richardo and it was awesome! I would like to only add that my return trip was little confusing catching the bus and train and the bus back to Cusco was not explained very well. I had to make my own way back from the train station looking for a bus to take me…”
