Isao is an amazing guide! - Isao was an AMAZING guide. I would recommend him to anyone visiting Machu Picchu. Peru Trail Hikers gave us a great experience and we’d definitely go on another tour with them and Isao. Isao was so knowledgeable and helped us get great photos!

First timer in Peru - This experience was everything. Seeing Machu Picchu up close was absolutely breathtaking. Our tour guide Isao was very friendly and knowledgeable. He allowed us to take our time as we climbed the steps there and back. I would highly recommend this tour. The train ride was great as well.

Sergio was a great tour... - Sergio was a great tour guide explaining all aspects of life in Machu Picchu do very long ago. His tablet helped explain and relate to modern day. A bit of confusion on the hotel pick up and we did NOT receive transportation back to our hotel at 18:00 (9:00pm) as was described in What's Included.

Machu Picchu Is A Must - Machu Picchu was an AMAZING experience! This is one you don’t want to miss. It’s a very long day but well worth the time and money. Our tour guide Isao was the Best! He was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. Make sure you send a copy of your passport after you book your excursion so you get the circuit you want and make sure you book your excursion well in advance. This is an experience you don’t want to miss!

Great company with professional guides - We had an absolutely incredible experience with our tour guide Isao at Machu Picchu! From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and magic of this breathtaking place.
His explanations about the Inca civilization, architecture, and spiritual significance of Machu Picchu were detailed and fascinating, yet easy to understand. He answered all of our questions patiently and made sure everyone in our group felt engaged and comfortable throughout the tour.
What truly made the experience special was his enthusiasm and attention to detail, he showed us the best photo spots (and trust me he did the best pictures and videos of you), pointed out hidden features we would have completely missed, and shared stories that brought the ancient city to life.
If you’re visiting Machu Picchu, we highly recommend asking for Isao. He turned an already unforgettable destination into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Five stars all the way!

The tour was magnificent. Isao, our guide was exceptional. He took into account my mobility issues making trip amazing! - Even though I have mobility issues, our guide made all the difference in helping me enjoy the experience to the fullest. From the very beginning, they were attentive, patient, and incredibly accommodating, ensuring that every part of the journey was accessible and comfortable for me. They took the time to adjust the pace, offer support when needed, and point out the best spots so I wouldn’t miss out on anything.
Thanks to their thoughtful guidance, I was able to truly immerse myself in the experience without feeling limited by my mobility challenges. What could have been a difficult or overwhelming outing turned into a memorable and joyful adventure. I left feeling grateful, knowing that I had experienced everything I hoped for and more, all because of their dedication and care.

Must try experience - The trip coordinator provided the trip and ticket booking information ahead of time. While there was a small mishap happened on the day off (the greeter at the train station took us to the entrance gate 2 hours early), the overall experience is pretty positive. Our guide, Isao is very knowledgeable and fun to tour with. He provided interesting facts and history about Machu Picchu and also double duty as our personal photographer/videographer. It was a nearly perfect experience and I would highly recommended it.
