The excursion to Machu Picchu was perfect. Everything was very well organized, from my departure from the hotel to the end of the tour. I thank the whole team very much for the excellent organization. A special thanks to my guide, Lucas, in Machu Picchu, who explained everything and even took many photos.
Excellent agency. Coordination makes the experience impeccable. I highlight Leisle’s professionalism and that of the guides who took me to Machu Picchu and the sacred valley. Don Severino is without a doubt the most learned and learned guide I have ever had in my countless trips. 100% recommended.

The service was excellent! Everything was perfectly organized and coordinated throughout the day. Leisse's attention was very cordial, professional and respectful. José Luis, an exceptional guide, explained everything with great clarity and also took amazing photos. Amílcar, a very calm and responsible driver, made the transfers comfortable and safe. We were completely satisfied with the experience

I decided on the full-day tour at very short notice and Leise organised everything perfectly for me. Nothing was missing and I felt very well looked after around
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! 😊 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie mit unserem Service so zufrieden waren und dass Leise alles kurzfristig perfekt für Sie organisieren konnte. Schön zu wissen, dass Sie sich während der gesamten Ganztagestour bestens betreut gefühlt haben. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder in Peru begrüßen zu dürfen!
This was such an amazing day & experience. The transportation to and from Ollyotambo was great, Nestor (our driver) was very friendly and we felt very safe (and enjoyed the views of the Sacred Valley). We HIGHLY recommend the Vistadome experience for your train ride, at least on your way there (in the daylight). There were snacks and drinks included, as well as live music and dancers in the caboose train (with an open air platform to ride from). The views of the Andes were INCREDIBLE. Once we arrived to Machu Picchu Village, we had about an hour-long wait for our bus up to the site, but this seemed about normal (and the bus ride was only about 20 minutes). At the top, Jose met us and we continued on to Circuit 2 (the best circuit, so we've heard). Despite planning for 10-12 people, our group was extremely small, and allowed for our tour to be very personal and interactive. Jose was very friendly and informative, while keeping us entertained and enjoying ourselves. The tour was very thorough, and Circuit 2 was not a very difficult climb / walk / hike, while also allowing us to see SO MUCH. I would highly recommend this tour, and definitely think it's worth requesting Jose for a good time!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing review! 🌟 We’re truly happy to hear that you had such a memorable experience from start to finish. It’s great to know that the transportation, the Vistadome train journey, and the breathtaking views of the Sacred Valley all met your expectations. A special thank you for highlighting José’s work as your guide and Nestor’s professionalism as your driver. We’re proud to have a team that makes each tour personal, safe, and enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be delighted to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure in Peru!
I made the 4-day package with the Cusco Travel Agency and could not have had a better experience. The tours I took were: Sacred Valley of the Incas + Maras/Moray, Lagoa Humantay, Mount of 7 Colors and Machu Picchu, and in all of them the agency made everything happen in the most perfect way possible, with a lot of organization, information, assistance, dedication and punctuality. All guides received us with a lot of sympathy and cordiality, while Agent Leise always provided us with all the necessary information with a lot of clarity and attention through Whatsapp. I recommend everyone who is visiting Cusco to make their tours with the Cusco Travel Agency.
