Awesome. The tour guides are amazing with knowledge. They make sure you’re ok. Worth every penny

S

A great 2 day trip taking in the unforgettable Machu Picchu. Amazing guides for both Sacred Valley snd Machu Picchu. I’d recommend the tour operator reconsider the hotel they use in Agua Caliente. I wasn’t given an option to choose and whereas clean, it really wasn’t an acceptable standard overall.

We were picked up on time from our hotel in Cusco and spent the day with “F” our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and was a great tour guide. We had to pay extra for the Moray Ruins (70 sols) and then Ollantaytambo (20 sols). Lunch was nice but super crowded at the time we arrived. We were dropped off at the train station and then met someone from the hotel to take us to our accommodation. It was very nice and breakfast was good. We had to start the next day at 7:30 to get in line for a 10am tour. Its a long wait but lots of people watching made the time go by. We had a guide ride with us up the mountain and spent 2 hours giving us the opportunity to learn all about the area. The guide was fabulous and really spoke good English.Had to stand in line to get down. Beware the bus ride up and down is harrowing but we made it. We had to race for our 2pm train and didn’t have enough time for lunch. Picked up by a driver who drove us the 2 hours back to Cusco.
