I booked two tours in total with David of Cusco Travel Agency. Machu Picchu Full Day Tour on July 10 and Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) Private Tour on July 11. I went with my husband and we truly had a wonderful time. The tour guides on both tours were each kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I for one, have lots of questions during tours, and they were so patient in answering and explaining. We had Javier Flores for Machu Picchu and Ricardo for Vinicunca. We highly recommend requesting for them when possible. They were also patient in taking photos for us. This trip to Peru was our visit to South America and it exceeded our expectations mainly because the two places we wanted to see most was made very convenient by David and his team. David is also quick to respond to questions via WhatsApp and you can really see his effort to make sure that he takes care of his customers. Thank you, David and team. We will carry and treasure these memories for years to come and sincerely we have only great these to say about your company’s role in a trip so memorable for us. We highly recommend you to everyone.

I want to highlight Amílcar, he was in charge of planning my tours, always concerned and attentive to everything, which made our experience by far the best, thank you very much Amílcar!!! I also want to highlight our guide in Machu Picchu, Ronald, he took the tour of the citadel to another level.

I had an incredible experience in Cusco. The tour of the archaeological parks was very comprehensive and well organized by Leise. We were able to visit impressive places, learn about Inca history and culture, and enjoy spectacular landscapes. Our guide was very professional, attentive, and explained each site in great detail, making the experience even more interesting. The visit to Machu Picchu was simply unforgettable. It is a place that exceeds all expectations due to its beauty, history, and the energy felt while exploring it. The tour was perfectly coordinated, with adequate time to enjoy, take photographs, and visit the main points of interest. The information provided by the guide allowed for a better understanding of the importance of this wonder of the world. I totally recommend this agency to anyone visiting Cusco. It was an enriching, exciting, and very well organized experience from start to finish. Without a doubt, one of the best trips I have taken.
