Outstanding Peru Experience – Highly Recommended! - Outstanding Peru Experience – Highly Recommended! We had an absolutely amazing experience on our Peru trip, and a big part of that credit goes to the incredible team who took care of us throughout the journey. Ernesto (Driver) was phenomenal—always punctual, professional, and extremely safe. Navigating long routes and challenging terrains with such calm confidence made the travel portions completely stress-free. His friendly attitude and willingness to help at every step truly stood out. Sendro, our tour guide, was exceptional. His deep knowledge of Peruvian history, culture, and local traditions brought every site to life. He was patient, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what he does, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and had the best possible experience. Overall, the tour was very well organized, seamless, and memorable. Thanks to Ernesto and Sendro, this trip exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this tour company to anyone planning a trip to Peru and would gladly choose them again in the future!

Times noted are NOT accurate - Our major disappointment was the times stated in the description were not remotely accurate. See below for details. I had great communication from the expedition company, via Whats App. They wanted to meet us at the hotel the day prior, to brief us. Since we were arriving that day before and wanted to explore Cusco - this was a little clunky to arrange being back at the hotel at a certain time. The person sent to the hotel was extremely kind - but English was a struggle. We used Google Translate to communicate. He provided us the tickets and times we needed. We were previously asked about T-shirt sizes, which we had provided - but he had not brought those and said we would get them on the tour. The next morning, we were picked up on time. Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes - we could not find our tour guide. We were a little nervous - but he did arrive about 10 minutes after the train arrived, when I was getting ready to message the tour operator. He also was very nice. When we got to the location for the buses to take us to Machu Pichu, we had to wait about an hour to preserve the earliest possible bus departure (several buses make the trip.) Our entrance time to MP was 12pm - which meant we would be on an 11:30-ish bus to the top. The big concern was we had to be back to the train station by 2:50pm. That included time to take the bus back down and walk to the train station. Our guide did the best he could to move things along to get us on an earlier bus (than our tickets allowed) and get us into MP earlier than the ticket time. We did get on an earlier bus - but not earlier into MP. We had exactly 2 hours to move around MP - when the tour description states 3 hours!!! We hustled - which is a challenge at that altitude and hiking up flights of steps. We then waited in line to return down to Aguas Calientes. The tour description then says you will have time for lunch there. This is NOT even close to accurate. We had time to grab an empanada and get back to the train station. This was disappointing, as AC is a neat little town. Also, the T-shirts were not there and the guide had to call. The tour company did have those delivered to our hotel with some pens and bottle openers, the next day - and apologized for the confusion. The tickets you will receive for this day trip are extremely specific. With the crowds (off-season when we were there) aren't flexible if you to decided to take a later bus or train. You will be limited to what has been booked. We booked several months out, also. The description on how much time the traveler has to explore should be modified to be accurate for both MP and AC..
