Our guide was Juan de Dios, and he was the best tour guide we could ask for! He was super clear and organized with directions on where to go, where to meet, what time we enter / exit each Inca ruin, etc. Juan was also incredibly knowledgeable about Machu Picchu and the other ruins we visited like Ollantaytambo or Moray. He explained the differences between pre-Inca, Incan vs Incan imperial style architecture and pointed out examples, and for each ruin also gave a history of the peoples and events that occurred in each place. Juan also taught us the Quechua names for most of these as well! Overall, Juan was the best guide we could ask for, and I would highly recommend Inka Trail Explorer
Juan de Dios was our tour guide, and he always went above and beyond to help us learn and make us comfortable. He has been so patient and kind to us. He is like an encyclopedia of Peruvian history. We like to call him professor. He took us to so many different places and highlighted the importance of each place. He has a heart of gold and made our trip the most amazing experience. Highly recommend booking with the Juan and only! ☺️
My friends and I (group of 5!) came to Cusco and had Juan de Dios as our tour guide for 4 days. One day we did a city tour, then sacred valley, then Machu Picchu. We added the sanctuary. It was a beautiful experience. Juan really made me feel like he cared about my friends and me, he shared so much about Incan history and about himself. I LOVED him as a tour guide and will definitely recommend all my friends who come to Peru in the future. Juan is amazing.
