3 Amazing Days in Cusco/Machu Picchu

5.00Our experience with Kantu Peru Tours was absolutely amazing! The communication when every individual was prompt and super helpful. Starting with Heidi when I booked for the wrong days. She was able to catch this based on the flight info I sent her and got it corrected for me ASAP! It was even more impressive since we booked the trip only a couple days prior. Our flight from Lima to Cusco was delayed and both Heidi and Waldir were amazing with keeping track of us and making sure we had everything we needed. They were very accommodating since we missed a part of the tour given the flight delay. Suggestion I would have is build in a full travel day before starting your adventure to account for delays. Cusco was also such a charming and interesting city, so I wish I had more time to just explore it. Evelyn came to our hotel and gave us an overview of our Machu Picchu excursion and did an amazing job of both giving us exact details (helped a lot!) and sharing some cultural insights and answering all our random questions. The entire trip to Machu Picchu was amazing. From the initial drive and getting to see more of the city, to the absolutely spectacular train ride and views (definitely upgrade to the vistadom if you can). When we arrived in Aguas Caliente we were met by someone with a sign with our name and she made sure we got to where we needed (super helpful since it was very crowded and hectic). The bus ride to Machu Picchu was also filled with breathtaking views! When we arrived we found our guide, Karol, super easy (he actually spotted us, not sure how lol) and he was an amazing guide. It’s a bit of a trek up and Karol was very patient and gave us so much good info on the way up. If you can do the extra trek up to Sungate. It’s an extra 40 min up the mountain, but the views are amazing and you get more time on the actual Inca Trail. Karol was also the absolute best photographer and captured the best memories for us. Those pics were worth the price alone! We were again greeted by our driver, Eddie, and it was another great drive back to the hotel in Cusco. The stars were out in full force, so the drive home was another great part of the trip. Eddie was also a great sport helping us with our Spanish and answering all our random questions. The last morning of our trip Waldir came personally to our hotel to escort us with the driver to the airport. He was so helpful throughout and just gave us a sense of ease. All we were focused on was having a great time and they did the rest in the most professional and helpful manner! I will definitely be back to Peru and will use Kantu for all our adventures 😊
