Best experience with Peru Hikers! - Peru Hikers and our guide Isao were the absolute best. We did the Machu Picchu day trip and full day Rainbow Mountain trips from Cusco on back to back days. The attention to detail in all the travel plans and the organization was top tier. On the tour Isao was extremely knowledgeable of all the details, moved at our pace, and more than anything a blast to hang out with. Also, added bonus — Isao was an amazing photographer! I can’t recommend Peru Hikers enough will be coming back to do more with them in the future.

Isao is just a fantastic guide. - Simply amazing service, our guide Isao was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate everything. He was able to answer all our questions. He never rushed my elderly parents as we navigated Machu Picchu stairs. He even took family pictures for us.

a once in a lifetime experience, simply the best 🇵🇪 - truly worth all the time, effort and energy spent here in Macchu Picchu, made better by our energetic and helpful guide, Isao Mayta Perez. Perhaps once in a lifetime may not be quite enough 🇵🇪

Best Guide to Macchu Pichu Mr. Isao! - Since the moment I booked the tour 3 months ago I was very well served. The service team responded promptly to all my questions and was always very attentive at all times of the tour (initial service / reception in Aguas Calientes and transfer / taxi). I thank in particular the Guide Mr. Isao, who showed us incredible details of the Shrine of Machu Pichu, explaining the story with illustrations and examples, in addition to positioning us for the best photos and waiting for the best moment due to the bad weather. It was an amazing experience and I recommend it!
