About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- veronikae3760 contributionsMust visit tour in Sacred ValleyVery well planned and well organized tour, was glad to visit all these historical places and take beautiful pictures. Many thanks to our tour guide Sandro who shared many insights on the history and the current state of affairs - with his input and attitude the tour exceeded our expectations. Lunch included, all the stops properly organized - you do not feel the time flying by till the end of the day. Thank you!Written October 3, 2024
- chrissT7995BQ0 contributionsSandro is the bestThe whole tour was awesome, fantastic sceneries and great views! Our tour guy, Sandro, was very helpful and gave us all the necessary informationWritten October 3, 2024
- Chris S0 contributionsWillka Travel has the best tours and guides.Willka Travel arranged 4 day trips from Cusco as well as guides at Machupicchu for us. We went to the Sacred Valley, Moray and the salt mines, Rainbow mountain, and a Cusco city tour. All of their tours were excellent. Their guides spoke perfect English, were knowledgeable, and made our tours fun. Thank you to Rolando, Jayder, and Joel for making our Cusco and Machupicchu trip one to remember.Written October 1, 2024
- Stay049903135790 contributionsHighly recommended tours!We took both the Marasand Moray tour and the Pisac and Ollantaytambo tour with Willka Travel. Both tours were very enjoyable and informative. The Pisac and Ollantaytambo tour included a lunch buffet, which was delicious. All in all, a fantastic experience and highly recommended. Our guide, Emil, was also very friendly and knowledgeable, making the trip even more pleasant.Written September 30, 2024
- Karissa B0 contributionsEfficient tour, bad lunchThis tour does take you through a good portion of the valley for one day and the sites are quite incredible. Our tour guide has a different style, he will give you lots of information about the site to begin, and then lets you go explore on your own, about 20mins per site. This is fine, but sometimes I would have wanted more insight as I walked thru the site on my own. I could always ask questions afterwards when we met up but after the 2nd site I felt like googling it later might be a better less annoying approach. The lunch buffet was not great, I stopped eating after I found 2 hairs, and I’m 99% sure I got my food poisoning from there. Overall, our guide was nice and informative, and the incredible sites speak for themselves.Written September 30, 2024
- 417jonip0 contributionsBest tour from CuscoI did the day trip from Cusco to sacred valley: pisaq and ollantaytambo. This was the best tour I had out of Cusco and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s visiting the area. Not only did each location take my breath away (both from elevation and from the beauty) but the tour also allowed me to purchase all of my souvenirs from rural local shops that provided authentic Peruvian goods. Jhonnatan was an exceptional guide he provided significant history and knowledge about each site we visited and was more than happy to accommodate everyone’s needs and answer every question with enthusiasm. The tour was information and very fun. Walter was an amazing driver navigating heavy traffic areas in a safe manner and providing great music along the way. 10/10 would do this tour time and time again.Written September 25, 2024
- 451mitchellp0 contributionsSacred Valley Day TourWas a fantastic trip through the Sacred Valley, so many amazing spots and views. Jhonnatan was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable and informative. Made the day a lot of fun. Was a delicious Buffet for lunch as well. Shout out to Walter for being a great driverWritten September 25, 2024
- 519heenac0 contributionsThe Sacred Valley, Pisac, Ollentaytambo and Chinchero tourI had a brilliant time exploring the sacred valley, Ollentaytambo, Pisac and Chincero with Jonathan as our guide and Walter, the driver. Jhonattan was extremely informative and happy to answer my questions. He was friendly, approachable and professional in his manner. The tour was well-organised, Jhonattan and Walter arrived on the agreed time to collect us. The lunch was excellent. Everything was great and I highly recommend Wilka tour, this specific tour and, Jhonattan and Walter team.Written September 25, 2024
- jasoncornwell0 contributionsGreat trip thanks to JhonnatanWe did the Sacred Valley tour with Pisac and Ollantaytambo. What a great day, we learnt so much and got to visit more places than we thought. Lunch was also great with lots of vegetarian options. What made the day great was our tour guide Jhonnatan who was fantastic, very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions - the best guide we've had on the 3 tours we've been on during our time in Cusco.Written September 25, 2024
- H9333RXbena0 contributionsSacred valley tourWe had a very good time on this tour. Our guide Jonathan was extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic about the sites, and was happy to provide comprehensive answers to any and all questions. The sites were impressive and the whole day engaging. Highly recommend this tour!Written September 25, 2024
- Ray H0 contributionsAwesome all day tour of Sacred Valley with WarnerWe did the full day tour from Cusco visiting for a view stop at El Mirador de Taray, Pisac for beautiful views and moderate climb. We continued to Ollantaytambo for a fantastic experience of witnessing times from so long ago. Our tour guide never made us feel rushed. He set a slow pace and stopped from time to time to allow us to catch our breath. Our last stop was Chinchero . We also stopped for a nice buffet lunch in Urubamba. We were picked up near our hotel around 7:30am and returned to Cusco around 6:50pm. This was a perfect day and Warner, our tour guide, was considerate, knowledgeable and took our pictures whenever we asked. We would do this tour again in a heartbeat.Written September 24, 2024

If you are traveling to Machu Picchu I highly recommend asking for Joel to guide you around the ruins. Joel was very knowledgeable about the Inca site. He was very friendly and accommodating for a couple of people in our group who needed extra help navigating some of the terrain. We took. the walk slow and Joel allowed time for breaks and photo ops. He met us at our hotel the night before our visit to the Citadel to let us know what to expect then took us to the bus the next morning where he handled the tickets for us. Joel made sure we had a amazing experience. This tour is definitely worth your time.

We did the tour with Joel. I really have to say that Joel is the absolute best guide you can imagine. He knows a lot about Inca history and Machu Picchu. But he also knows a lot about the history of Peru in general. He himself is fascinated and you can feel it. Joel is very polite and nice. He took his time and he really gave us time to take photos and answered all of our questions very competently. I've done a lot of tours. Joel really is the perfect guide. we had a lot of fun and recommend the tour with Joel.

Our tour guide was Roni. He picked us up at the train station at 9 pm. when we arrived to Aguas Calientes. We had a tour in the next morning at 7:30 am. Roni carefully guided us to the top to make sure we'd have the best opportunities to enjoy amazing views and take terrific pictures when clouds would be away. Roni was very informative on Inca's history. To our surprise we had a chance to watch wild chinchillas hiding in inaccessible area. We were back in town after 12 pm. We visited Machu Picchu in mid of April 2023.

1st the upgrade to the longer circuit above the city is well worth it. This was my 2nd tour with Wilka and due to mobility issues I was very worried about being able to transverse this route. After my 1st tour I contacted Wilka through WhatsApp and they arranged a private guide, again well worth the upgrade and a very good value. Whether mobility issues, a couple or family I highly recommend.
Not only did I get the individual experience with my guide William but I could move at a pace I could handle and take time to take pictures.
Keep in mind this tour like others only meets you off the train, arranging everything to make your way to Machu Pichu and back. If I had a question Wilka was available by WhatsApp until final pick up fron Inca Rail to return to my hotel.

Absolutely amazing experience! Our guide Roni was so knowledgeable and informative. Not only did he thoroughly explain the history and stories of Machu Picchu, but he made sure we had plenty of time in all the best picture spots. The clouds were low during our tour but he had us wait for them to clear so we could get the best photos. Couldn't have asked for better! We've had a little trouble understanding some of the tour guides during our trip but Roni was easy to understand and happy to answer all of our questions. Our group was nice and small too, which was perfect! I could go on and on about how awesome everything was, but just take my word for it and book this tour!

Joel our guide met us at the station when we arrived and showed us to our hotel and then met us later to get the bus which was really helpful. Very important you have your documents, tickets and passports as these are checked multiple times
The bus ride up is scenic and then entering the park, some steep steps to get up but wow, such amazing views and our guide paused in places to take out time.
It really is quite incredible. The afternoon excursion after 2pm is best. Less crowds, sun and a light breeze and clear skies. Joel was a great guide, we've done a fair few tours and he was really knowledgable, easy to follow and we learnt a lot. He knew all the good spots for photos and where to navigate past the crowds and get the best photos.
An amazing day and experience, one for adults and teenagers as some steep steps but wow what a view and definitely making memories. Thanks Joel

The trip was very organized from beginning to end thanks to our tour guide, Joel! He met us at our hotel in Aguas Calientes the night before to let us know what we needed to bring and what to expect, then picked us up the following morning to get to the bus going to the citadel. The weather was AMAZING so we got to see the citadel in it’s full and mesmerizing glory! Joel was very accommodating and would allow us a couple of minutes for breaks (it’s breathtaking up there - literally and figuratively), and to take pictures. He is very knowledgeable on the history of the ruins and is able to answer all our questions. Overall, the tour was worth every penny!
They did however, changed the entrance/exit routes so we had to wait longer to get inside Machu Picchu, though out of the tours control, be prepared to stand in a long line for 15-20 minutes.

My guide Roni was exceptional. I decided to walk up from aguas calientes to Machu Picchu and underestimated the amount of time so I couldn’t get to the group at the time agreed but Roni was super supportive and kept checking in on me to make sure I was fine. Luckily I didn’t miss much of the tour. Roni gave us such a good explanation both in English and spanish of the different sites in Machu Picchu and really leveled up the experience. I would definitely recommend Roni for the tour of Machu Picchu!

Thank you Willka Travel for an incredible experience at Machu Picchu. We received our train/bus and tour tickets a couple weeks in advance, and ended up getting a private tour experience with a tour guide Roni, who was very knowledgable about the archaeological site, and helped us take really great photos. I liked that the meals were not included so we could pick what we wanted to eat once in Aguas Calientes after the tour. Highly recommend if you want an intimate tour experience for this world wonder.

Joel was a great guide! He met us at the train station, walked us to our hotel and prepped us for our Machu Picchu excursion the next day. He gave us all the information we needed to succeed. The day of it was wonderful. Joel met up with us after we hiked Machu Picchu Mountain and gave us a great tour of the historic site. He then went down the bus with us and walked us to the train station.
