        Not all we hoped for
        The tour included sites we wanted to visit and we were hoping for information about each site. Unfortunately, our guide’s English was difficult to understand. My son, who speaks a little Spanish, said that he understood more of her Spanish than English. There was a lot of confusion initially about meet up.

        Great travel service
        Great service. Mr. Alex (driver) helped us a lot. He has took us to a group of Ketchwan families who presented us with dance and songs, offered to buy hand made Peruvian souvenirs, displayed how to clean alpaca / lama wool, die with natural colors. Next took us to Chinchero, Salineras de Maras and Moray. Finally took us Ollantaytambo train station since it was time for our scheduled travel. He was very nice and took care of us very well. Thank you very much.

        Great experience
        Alex from Palomino taxi service and Ricardo our guide were thoroughly professional and provided us with a memorable experience. Alex was always available through WhatsApp patiently answering questions and accommodating last minute schedule change requests. Ricardo was pleasant and knowledgeable and showed us around the area at our own pace.

        Amazing service on tailor-made travel
        Alex was a kind and amazing driver. Communication was easy, service reliable and fair price. He picked us up on our hotel door in Cusco. We visited the Palcoyo mountain after the tours hours and had the place almost for ourselves. Impressive. We took all the time we wanted and Alex then took us for our next destination in Ollantaytambo. He was always concerned with us, taking great care. Always flexible. And drive safely. It’s a great way to craft your own tour, at your own pace with very fair prices. Thanks Alex for the amazing day!

        Super service to see the Sacred Valley and also for transfers.
        I used Palomino Taxi for 2 trips. The first was a private transfer from Cusco airport to Ollantaytambo train station. Our driver met me with a little sign right outside of baggage claim. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. After 2 days at Machu Picchu, I had booked Palomino Taxi for a tour of the Sacred Valley. Our guide Richardo met us at the train station and we had a great day touring the Sacred Valley on the way back to Cusco where he took us to our hotel. Loved the visits to the salt production site and to the Woman’s Cooperative to see how alpalca wool is made. Great and easy trip.

        Excellent, 5*!
        We booked Yuban for a round trip tour to Humantay Lake from Cusco which involved a lot of driving. He was so friendly and kind and we really enjoyed chatting with him! His driving was brilliant especially considering the roads weren’t always great and we felt very safe. He told us where to get snacks, buy our entrance ticket and the direction to head in and was waiting for us after the hike. We had an excellent day and enjoyed Yuban’s company :) we booked the day before and the company responded quickly, highly recommend :)

        Alex is AWESOME
        Amazing company! Alex, our driver is the best. We booked a private transportation from Cusco airport to Ollantaytambo and then to Cusco and other attractions ( Humantay and Rainbow mountain) , we love how we get to do the tour at our own pace and the price is very reasonable. Alex took great care of us, he was also very patient with out children. I recommend this company and Alex to anyone who wants ro see the beauty of Peru. We plan to hire them again when we come back for Puno next time. Thank you Palomino Taxi and Alex! You guys are THE BEST!

        The best service at the best rates
        The best service at the best prices. We originally had booked just one tour with them but ended up arranging for several tours and transfers after realizing that Palonimo offered, by far, the best prices around. Our drivers and guides were consistently courteous, patient, and enthusiastic. Our visit to Peru would not have been the same without Palomino and I 100% recommend them.

        Super recommended
        The trip went really well. Our driver Alex picked us at the scheduled time (we left at 3.30 am to get there before the crowd). I had a bit of hard time walking, so Alex helped us find a horse and even reduced the price. Alex was very attentive and helpful, equipped with coca leaves, and his driving was safe and secure.

        We took 4 day taxi service from them . Our driver "Mr. Ramon" gave us the best service. He was very very helpful and knowledgeable . We all love his company. The taxi service was well accommodating. We used it for local tours , ollyantaytambo, pisac , moray , maras. The entire trip was on our pace from beginning to end. Mr. Ramon taught us kechuya language too. I would highly recommend this taxi service , if you want memories for life time.

        Best driver's services in Cusco - Palomino Taxi
        We have booked in advanced a full itinerary with Palomino taxi which include pick up and drop off from/at airport, Cusco to Ollyantatanbo and back with stops in the valley and rainbow mountain. Alex our driver was amazing, on time, polite, patient and share his knowledge about the area and sites, always was willing to stop for us whenever we requested to buy fruits or anything else, he recommended places to eat and play wonderful Andean music during our travels. The communication was in Spanish. We highly recommend his services. Alex played a significant role in the success of our trip to Cusco and the area.

      I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this experience, the company and are truly excellent guide, Alex. We have been doing tours all over Peru, and this one was the last of them and stuck out so much. We were nervous because it was too late to book tours to Lake Humantay, but the company arranged private taxi transportation for us at our preferred time and even said the driver would be able to accompany us on the hike. Our driver/guide Alex was so professional, caring and supportive. I'm traveling with my 63 year old mom, and he was patient in getting us up to the top at our own speed. He taught us so much about Peru! And was a truly excellent driver, who put us at ease on the long road to Humantay. I will be telling my friends about this experience for the rest of my life and will certainly recommend that they book Palomino Taxi Tours for when they travel to Cusco, and especially to go with Alex! I don't know if I can ever do any of the grueling bus rides again when I know that this fun, sensible, and thorough but comfortable option exists. A top travel experience that I've ever had.

      We were with the services of Palomino during our entire stay in Peru. We definitely recommend! Mr. Alex is very punctual, kind, attentive and helped us optimize our time and include the routes we wanted to make, making adjustments of routes and schedules. He helped us from our arrival until our departure. Peru is amazing and we are already planning our trip! Thank you, Alex! It was a pleasure!

      Great trip and good price. The driver was very kind and professional and the communication via Whatsapp (price negotiation, planning of the trip, asking for extra info) was very convenient and in good English. We also cancelled our third trip which and this was no problem at all, even though we got a discount because we were going to do 3 trips. Would definitely recommend!

      After a week in Cuzco , we can gladly say that Julio was the best driver we had from the whole trip. We hired him to drive us to Humantay Lake, and the whole process from coordinating through WhatsApp to dropping us off after the hike went smoothly. He was courteous and very friendly in giving us lots of information during the ride. You won’t regret choosing Palomino Taxi as your transportation in Cuzco !

      *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
