5.00It was a good trip, they explain everything and fabricio was very friendly, always very punctual, The only thing they could improve is the vehicle as I feel it was not fit for the humantay lagoon, if I recommend traveling with them
Machu Picchu, a dream visit.

5.00Our visit was planned well in advance, so as not to have availability problems, this company gave us the best attention from the beginning, with all the necessary information. Everything was ready and organized, the tickets to enter Machu Pichu were also organized for us. Knowing the living history of the Incas is a unique experience. I recommend booking well in advance, it sells out easily.
Unforgettable Cusco

5.00It was a magical experience to visit Sacred Valley and Machu Pichu. The tour operator Mr. Fredi was very welcoming and courteous, he came personally to receive us at the Cusco Airport. All his crew members were very polite and helpful. His tour guide Michael was very knowledgeable and was enlightening us with the Inca civilization's history. Overall it was a great experience and it was all because of Machu Pichu Latin America tour company. I think we picked the right tour company out of many available.
An Unforgettable Adventure in Peru.

5.00The 4-day tour was incredible! I could not have imagined a better experience. The tour guides, Fabricio and Roman, were hands down the best I have ever had on any trip. Fabricio was exceptionally knowledgeable about Peru’s people, places, and history, so much so that the historical landmarks we visited came to life with vibrancy as his descriptions and compelling historical insight into the details made the experiences visceral and unforgettable. Machupicchu was breathtaking; the tour made it so that every experience was vivid, impactful, and had special meaning. The sacred valley and many other landmarks were in their own right equally fascinating. Roman was an impeccable driver helping us seamlessly traverse the multifaceted topography of Peru, allowing us to have both a fly-on-the-wall experience alongside a deep dive of the best that Peru has to offer. Experiencing Peru with this Tour company was by far one of the best travel decisions we could have made. It had the best aspects of a great trip, memorable experiences, fantastic company, and escapism in the form of submerging into a world so beautiful, compelling, and different from the everyday.
Seamless Machu Picchu tour!

5.00Machu Picchu is not an easy destination, requiring flights, automobiles, trains and buses to get there. A bit intimidating to do on your own so we found Machupicchu Latin America on Trip Advisor and booked through them. Every detail was taken care of from when Fredi picked us up at the Cusco airport to when he dropped us off four days later. He even arranged for a Covid test at our hotel for the return flight! Our tour guide Michael was the best! He is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the Incan culture and history abounding in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, but he also started pointing out plant and bird species when we said we are retired biologists. The entire tour was so enlightening and seamless thanks to Fredi and his team at Machupicchu Latin America. We highly recommend them! Five stars is not enough!

They made our trip so enjoyable. I would absolutely take this tour and specifically request these gentlemen…it wouldn’t have been the same without them!

5.00Great hassle free experience. Fredi helped to plan a 4 day itinerary for our group that took care of everything. We just had to show up. Our tour guide - Fabrizio was amazing! Very knowledgeable and eager to make sure we had a great time. You can feel his passion for his country and his desire to share it with visitors. Also, he knew just the right spots for great photos! Lets not forget our amazing driver Raman, who masterfully navigated us through tight streets and rough roads!

5.00If you’re headed to Peru and, you don’t want to deal with planning the trains, planes, automobiles and hotels, Fredi and his team at Machupicchu Latin America should be your next email or phone call. Fredi helped us plan an amazing trip based on our schedule and budget. Roman, our driver, got us from place to place safely and comfortably. Gary, our tour guide, was professional, punctual and incredibly knowledgeable at each location. I’ve been to over 35 countries and this trip is on the top of the list, thanks to Fredi and his team. Would definitely use this tour company again, thanks Fredi!
