Things to do in Cusco

I am so happy with this tour. They know the best time to see Machu Picchu without the fog. I was the only one who speaks English on the tour, so I had my own private guide, which was so cool. Oh, just a suggestion: don't get the one with lunch. You can find a lot of good restaurants in Aguas Calientes at a cheaper price. Secondly, don't get the Vistadome. There isn't really much to see, especially during the return trip because it's going to be nighttime. Just get the regular train and no lunch.

Jose was fantastic, very accommodating and approachable, and did not leave us throughout our journey to Machu Picchu. He served as our guide from Cusco to Aguas Calientes. If you are looking for trusted guidance to Machu Picchu or other places to explore in Cusco, I highly recommend this tour and the amazing Jose as your guide. Hasta la vista!

Would have been a 5-star experience if I hadn't been left waiting for 20 minutes at the meeting point in -1 degree weather. Don't expect too much from the free buffet breakfast and lunch – it'll fill you up, but the food isn't great. As a solo traveler, you'll need to stick with the guide so they can take photos of you. The 25 soles entrance fee is not included.

Luis was our guide for our tour and he was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable on all the history of the sites we visited throughout the day!!! 10/10 recommend.

Very good guide Antonio and professional driver. Antonio encouraged us during the climb up the mountain and helped us cope with altitude sickness. I recommend this tour!

2 days prior to the start of the tour, i was informed that domestic air ticket from Lima to Cusco not included in the package. i have checked my booking amd it was only mentioned that international air ticket is excluded. thus, i expected domestic ticket to be included. would appreciate it that you check and revert. thank you

The Sacred Valley's Pisac ruins, Ollantaytambo ruins, and Machu Picchu are must-visit attractions to learn about Inca history and enjoy the local customs. The only fee that is not included is the 70 sole entrance ticket for the four Sacred Valley attractions, which must be paid separately. The travel agency arranged professional and enthusiastic guides for both the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu sections of the tour. The journey was so smooth and natural under the guidance of the tour guides that I can recommend it to friends and family. The only things to pay attention to are reminding the local travel agency to be on time for pick-up and drop-off, and ensuring that the self-service lunch on the first day is scheduled at the optimal time to avoid running out of food.

I joined this tour hoping to experience it during my stay in Cusco. I was picked up around 4 AM near my hotel, and the tour ended around 3 PM. The guide provided explanations in both Spanish and English. At the site, I paid about 70 Soles each way to ride a horse or motorcycle to near the summit. I was told it would take about 1 hour and 20 minutes to walk slowly, but since I felt motion sickness from the bumpy mountain road during the drive from Cusco to the trailhead, I chose the motorcycle up. I walked back down, which I think took less than an hour. Some of the tour participants experienced altitude sickness and seemed to be struggling, and another person vomited on the way back in the car. To be honest, the 4-hour drive each way isn't on smooth roads like in Japan, so I can't pretend it was perfectly fine. The tour itself was reasonably priced and the guide was good, but you should seriously consider whether you want to go there or not.

Moreover, the guide was attentive to our needs throughout the tour. He ensured everyone was comfortable and had the opportunity to ask questions. His friendly demeanor made the group feel at ease, fostering a sense of camaraderie among us travelers. He even took the time to help capture memorable photos, knowing how important these moments were for us. The breathtaking scenery combined with such exceptional guidance made this trip a highlight of my travels. I left Machu Picchu not only with stunning photographs but also with a deeper appreciation for the Inca culture and history. This experience reminded me of the importance of knowledgeable guides in enriching our understanding of the places we visit. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in one of the world's most iconic destinations.
