Incredible adventure with Isao - We had an incredible experience with our guide Isao. Isao thought of everything and had backup options for us if we decided not to make it to Machu Picchu due to bad weather. Despite the poor weather, we had an amazing day at Machu Picchu and learned a lot about the site and the Incans. Isao became not just our guide, but our friend. I highly recommend Peru Hikers!

A perfect day! - Spending a day with Isao, our guide from Peru Hikers at Machu Picchu was the highlight of our trip to Peru! We had rain in the morning and Isao adapted the tour perfectly. I was looking to get a bit more exercise so Isao suggested that we run down from MP to AC. Honestly, a magical day!

Machu Pichu tour with Peru Hikers - Incredible tour with an even better guide. Our guide was beyond knowledgeable and experiences with the Inkan culture. He knew where the best photo choices were and when breaks were needed. I highly suggest this tour specifically with Peru Hikers!

Best Machu Picchu Tour ever! - Saul Isao was amazing! Highly recommend hiring for a tour of any circuit. We did circuit 2 because circuit 3 was closed. Perfect English and we were able to learn great history. If you are coming to Cusco, you need to hire Saul and Peru hikers!

Incredible Machu Picchu tour with Saul Isao! - If you come to Machu Picchu, you have to use Peru Hikers and Saul Isao was the best guide! We did circuit 2 because circuit 3 was closed, and definitely wouldn’t have been able to without his help. Great great trip!

An amazing day!! - Great experience booking Machu Picchu with Peru Hikers. They gave us loads of information quickly via WhatsApp, so we could book the right things, and everything went smoothly, from our taxis with Ever to the trains and buses. The highlight was our private tour with Isa, he was excellent! He was very friendly, told us loads about the Inca & Machu Picchu history, took 100s of photos and even took us up to the sun gate, which we really wanted to see 🤫😅 Would 100% recommend Isa and Perú Hikers 🙌🏻

100 % perfect - Amazing amazing amazing! I cannot say enough about this tour. Peru Hikers organized the whole thing, from hotel pickup to bus drop off. I was met with 2 people as soon as I arrived at the train station in Machu Picchu. Then my amazing tour guide Isa+Saul met me outside the entrance to Machu Picchu. He knew exactly where to take pictures and how to pose. He felt like my personal photographer! He also was full of knowledge and gave me so much info about Machu Picchu. All the tour information was sent the day before, and I truly felt prepared. I’m a solo traveler and I am extremely happy that I chose Peru Hikers! Be sure to get the lunch included option because the restaurant had delicious food and epic views! Definitely recommend that you book with them and ask for Isa-Saul if possible!
