A scare, but it worked out!!!

The place is Wonderful, we unfortunately had the downtime of arriving in Cusco we were informed that the tour to Machu Picchu had been cancelled because the contracted company had not been able to buy the tickets to the Machu Picchu Site, but offered us an alternative tour of 2 days in which we should personally with the Passport in hand buy the tickets in place. An unexpected surprise which left us worried, but faced with the circumstance, the only alternative to continue the visit. Faced with the situation then, we accept the alternative offered, but sincerely, unpleasant surprise.

Paul was an excellent guide—professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He guided us through a full day at Machu Picchu and shared clear, engaging explanations about the history, culture, and significance of the site. The pace of the tour was well organized, and he was always attentive to our needs and questions. Thanks to Paul, we gained a much deeper understanding of Machu Picchu and truly enjoyed every moment of the experience. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable memories

It is definitely a memorizable trip. This agent is well known on RedNote with fair price. The 24 hour customer support makes it easier for planning, booking, and emergency reporting. The trip to Machupicchu was well organized and it saves us a lot of efforts. The guide Samu was trustable and experienced. He speaks good English and knows the history well with updated knowledge basement. His explanation definitely improved our experience. The weather is very changeable, thanks to Samu that he provided the feasible solution. The pick up was quite early (it is worthy), however the pick up was delayed. I called the service number at 3am, they picked up and solve the problem immediately. Thank you so much for the great team work!
