Enchanted with the structure!

We had an initial disagreement with the guide, but when we found her, she was excellent. He explained the details, answered our questions about the structure and organization. Very friendly and attentive!

An Amazing Journey into Inca History!

We had a truly wonderful experience in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu! A huge thank you to our guide, Rómulo, who made this trip truly amazing! You can really tell how passionate he is about what he does. He was always available to answer all our questions and was wonderfully kind with our kids. ​He shared so many interesting stories and genuinely made us feel as though we were traveling back in time to the Inca era. We learned so much, and our kids absolutely loved him! He was also exceptionally accommodating and caring when one of my children wasn't feeling well one day, which meant so much to us as parents. ​The whole team was incredible, including our amazing guide at Machu Picchu, René, who gave us a fascinating and unforgettable tour. Thank you for your patience and for taking all those wonderful pictures for us! ​We will never forget this trip and, as you told us in your language, see you next time! Simona, Alessandro, Luca, Alice and Giulia

I didn't like it entirely.

It is a very expensive tour for what it offers, you can get cheaper tours with lunch and everything, I have not been satisfied with this tour.

Operator response

Estimado Diego, Nos resulta sinceramente difícil comprender que una experiencia en la que, sin ningún costo adicional, transformamos su reserva grupal en un guiado completamente privado en Machu Picchu y le otorgamos un upgrade al tren Observatory, uno de los servicios ferroviarios más exclusivos hacia Machu Picchu, no haya cumplido sus expectativas. Más allá del precio pagado, nuestro compromiso siempre ha sido ofrecer una experiencia que supere las expectativas, razón por la cual decidimos brindarle estos beneficios exclusivos sin costo adicional. Su reserva fue realizada apenas dos semanas antes de su viaje, en una temporada de muy alta demanda y con disponibilidad extremadamente limitada. A pesar de ello, hicimos todo lo posible para ofrecerle una experiencia superior a la originalmente contratada. Lamentamos sinceramente que, a pesar de este esfuerzo, su percepción no haya sido la esperada. Agradecemos su comentario, ya que nos motiva a seguir mejorando y ofreciendo el nivel de servicio que caracteriza a Travel & Living Peru. Saludos cordiales,

Value or every minute

The tour was amazing, Guia Nicole was very attentive and very explaining on the tour. I did circuit 3, and you don't lose anything to the others. My friend and I got a train cab upgrade, we went first class.

Complete service and it's worth it.

I almost didn't go because I got very sick from the altitude, but Rómulo convinced me and even sent me to get something to help me. I wasn't at 100% and with a small mishap where we almost missed the bus to Machu Picchu, I have to say that Edison, our guide in Machu Picchu, was excellent. Machu Picchu is everything they say and more.

Last minute

Everything has to be followed up before and during the trip. First they did not have trickets for MP , which they informed 4 days before I was going there. I had to change to a two day trip to by tickets in Agua C. myself for the next day. I had to constant follow up at WhatsApp the days before and during the trip. Seems like no control, and doing everything in the last minute….. I would not have used this company. I got to Machu Picchu, and that was amazing😀

Operator response

Dear Guest, you yourself mentioned that had a wanderfull tour in Machupicchu, which we truly apreciate, At no point -and with out our organization adn support -would you have been able to handle this process or access the site, specially securing Circuit 2, the best. Adicionally, you did not pay any extra fees for this complex operation. our teem providd full assistance at all times: we provided the money for the tickets accompanied you to the official office and guided and guided you throughtout the entire process. One inportant thing is that your reservation was made only a few days before your travel date, when tickets had already sold out for weeks a situation entirely beyond our control. You clarely informed in adavance and given the option to cancel with a full refund, yet you chose to proceed with the 2-days alternative. it s importand to emphasize that this is highly complex coperation requiring detailed cordintion and on site-support. Despite this. no addicional fees were charged , and this service was succesfully complete without any issues. King Regards Romulo

Unreliable

My tour was canceled with twenty four hours notice. No reason explanation no nothing. Utterly worthless waste of time. I was advised I could reschedule in a month or I could make my way to Aguascalientes and stand in line at 3:00am to try to get a ticket. I kid you not. Would you rely on these people? Me neither.

Operator response

Dear Guest, we regret your comment, but it is necessary to clarify that the information you provided is not accurate. After your booking was made, we informed you that there was no availability for the selected date. The messages were sent through the platform, but you simply did not read them. Additionally, you did not provide any active contact information: the email address was ineffective for communication, and the WhatsApp number provided was not linked to an active account and did not respond to our attempts to reach you. It is important to note that tickets to Machu Picchu were sold out nearly three months in advance, and you made your reservation just four days before your intended travel date, making it virtually impossible to secure a standard entry. For this reason, we immediately offered you an alternative two-day tour with a guaranteed entrance via on-site purchase in Aguas Calientes, at no additional cost beyond what had already been paid. You also failed to provide pickup details or any of the basic information necessary to coordinate a tour of this nature. Without valid communication channels, it was impossible for us to assist you or confirm the service. You only contacted us one day before your scheduled tour, when it was already too late to activate a personalized service. Even then, we offered viable alternatives, including the guaranteed Machu Picchu visit through the in-person ticket purchase option, at no extra cost. We strive to provide solutions to all our passengers, but we also expect responsibility and commitment from those who book our services. We sincerely regret that you experienced this situation and trust that better communication in the future will help prevent this kind of inconvenience.
