          Machu Picchu, the trip of a lifetime.
          Machu Picchu has been on my bucket list for a very long time. It exceeded my Expectations in every way. I couldn’t be more please with our guides, Sandro and Saul, their knowledge and easy to follow explanations made our trip all the more special. I would recommend them both to anyone visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu.

          Cusco one week solo travel trip review with Sandro and Saul
          I traveled to Peru mainly to see Machu Picchu but Sandro and Saul showed me how much more Peru had to offer. This was my first big trip outside of the United States by myself and it didn’t take long to not feel alone, if you’re looking for the two best tour guides in all of Peru, these are the guys. I went to Peru alone and left with family, they have a passion for their visitors and their country unlike anyone else and i can’t wait to come back and see them again.

          Meaningful tour with Sandro
          Sandro made all of our time touring Peru so meaningful. We toured Cusco, Rainbow Mountain and Machu Picchu with him gaining rich insight into the history and culture of these beautiful places. He is a special individual indeed. I highly recommend him as your local tour guide.

          Life-changing experience due to the tour leaders
          We have traveled the world and have never had a more incredible experience than we did with the You Can’t Steal My Happy team. From Bailey answering our many questions to prepare us for the trip, to Sandro, our lead guide who was more of a life guide who deeply touched our hearts, to Saul who never stopped working and anticipated needs before we knew we need them, to Betsy, our ambassador who brought the joy and dancing and all of the restaurant and spa suggestions. The beauty of Peru and its people is amazing and this team showed us things that regular tourists don’t get to experience, like interacting with a real community and watching how they make their food and textiles. Truly a life-changing experience.

          We had an amazing experience with our guide Domingo, who was very knowledgable, patient and funny. He was able to answer all of our questions with factual answers, he was very attentive and patient with us, especially during the hike when we needed breaks, and he was a fun easy going spirit to be with. Hotels were really good and the company was very communicative throughout the whole excursion. We highly recommend booking with them and especially asking for Domingo to be your tour guide.

          Amazing Trip and very accommodating
          There was a little car trouble in the beginning but they made sure to resolve this issue very quickly to begin the trip. Domingo was very informative, patient, and very accommodating to our limited mobility needs!! The highlight of the trip was going to the alpaca farm and learning how to make the alpaca garments!! The restaurant had amazing food and great entertainment! I would recommend this excursion a lot especially for people who may have limited mobility but still want to see all the fun sites!

          The hiking tour was well prepared and organized by the travel agency and our guide.
          The 9 day hiking tour from Choquequirao to Machu Picchu was intense but also an amazing experience. There is nothing to complain about.

          Excellent tour! Our guide, Domingo, was great! He was very informative and made the whole experience easy and comfortable. We enjoyed all the excursions along the way. We took the Vistadome train which was comfortable and provided great views. The hotel was comfortable and had a good breakfast. Again, a great trip! Muchas gracias!

          Excellent experience with a few small problems that do not deserve attention
          We communicated very well with Freddy in planning our vacation in Peru which is 16 hours flight away. The company organized our entire stay and contracted all services for us. Our opinion is that the excursions were well organized with local guides and drivers to provide transportation. Not all the drivers were reliable but that is Peru. One driver was late at the airport and another drove chaotically. The guides were professional and answered all questions. We thanked Freddy for taking good care of us and responding promptly to all our questions and requests including early or at very late hours. We were not happy with Guadelupe Lodge as it lacked hot water and electricity but this did not spoil our vacation. We shook hands in Cusco after tours and thanked them for all their service. We highly recommend the travel company which we found out is a family owned company. Note :We booked 2 years in advance but due to social unrest (the country is suffering from protests over high level corruption and the Chinese are taking advantage of this by exploiting the country's underground riches) we received a voucher and a freeze on costs for next year.

          Unforgettable Experience!
          We had an absolutely flawless experience! We were in Cusco for 4 days. As soon as we met our guide at the airport we felt very welcomed! Our tour guide Saul was very knowledgeable and flexible, especially as I was traveling with my 80 year old grandparents. He could answer all of our questions and knew a lot about all the sites we went to. He made sure they were comfortable and safe in the heat, and made sure they weren't overtired. Most importantly, we had some much fun with our guide at all times! The tour guide and driver were also equipped with oxygen and trekking poles which were very useful to have on hand for my grandparents. Everyone was very professional and accommodating and truly made it an unforgettable experience!

        We did a private Machu Picchu full day tour with this travel agency. They were a great company to deal with as they kept us informed from the day we booked to the day of our tour. This is a great tour, we took the Vistadome train and the views were amazing. We had to Jose Champi as our guide and he was fantastic, He was knowledgeable, informative and spoke perfect English. He knew a lot of history. Our driver Junior was excellent and drove with safety in mind all the time. We highly recommend Machu Picchu Viajes Peru for the full day tour to Machu Picchu.

        We had a fantastic day trip to Machu Picchu!! We also spent the day prior doing a day tour of the Sacred Valley…both days we were fortunate to have Juan Carlos as our guide. He was awesome!!! I loved how passionate he was in explaining all the history and culture. Both trips were ery well organized and traveling alone with a 12 year old I never had any worries as they took such great care of us. They explained everything in detail and made sure to remind us each day of what to bring. We even had the same driver both days who always made sure we were comfortable. We initially had a 10am Vistadome train scheduled because the early trains were sold out, but Fredy, the owner, kept checking the schedules for us and got us on an early train which we appreciated! It allowed us to enjoy a late lunch in Aguas Calientes and visit to the hot springs after our fantastic Machu Picchu tour. Highly recommend Fredy and his team!

        Wow!!! We had the absolute best day ever with Domingo! He came to our hotel the day before our experience to meet us and give us our train tickets and explain what the day would look like. He even walked us to the Plaza after where we were going for dinner which was so kind and above and beyond. From the start everything was just so perfect and well organized. Communication from the time of booking all the way through the experience was perfect. The day went off without a hitch. Domingo was so patient with us as relatively novice hikers and never made us feel bad about our slow pace. He had SO much extensive knowledge about Machu Picchus history and it added a whole new dimension to the experience. He shared stories and his own personal background and insights into Incan culture and the history of MP which was SO interesting. Additionally he took amazing photos. He is an expert photographer. We left with amazing photos and lots of knowledge about the area as he is truly an expert on all things Machu Picchu, from the best sites to the history. We left with a strong appreciation of the spiritual significance of the area and historical importance (as well as amazing photos taken by Domingo, the best guide and photographer). The biggest thanks to Domingo for a once in a lifetime experience, our tour guide and new friend!

        Appreciated Freddy meeting with us the night before to go over the itinerary and logistics. We had a private car take us to ollantaitambo train station, then we had a our guide meet us at aguas callientes with a sign with my name so I knew who to look for. It was a wonderful experience to learn about the history of Machu Picchu. Would recommend Freddy and our guide, Ramiro, again!!! 😊

        Absolutely breathtaking and spectacular, the only reason I gave it four stars versus five is because I had expected to do the whole climb. However, I found out that in order to do that you need to make a reservation 3 to 4 months in advance which we didn’t do. We went through a travel agent to book this entire trip and it was never mentioned which was unfortunate. A great trip you have to be in decent shape to do all the climbing but wonderful for all family members

        This company took care of our entire Cusco and Machu Picchu trip so efficiently. Our guide, Domingo, was a gem who went the extra mile to cater to our needs and make us feel comfortable. The company organised airport pick and drop, our hotel stay in Cusco, all transportation to and from Machu Picchu and a private tour guide to accompany us all through. Domingo offered us a detailed and fun tour of Machu Picchu. Made my trip memorable. He and Benjamin were punctual, friendly and efficient. They were also readily available to answer our queries on WhatsApp. A pleasure to deal with this company.
