5.00I completed 5 tours with the company: City tour in Cusco, Maras moray and salineiras, sacred valley, Machu picchu and colorful mountain, out transfer arrival and departure to the airport. I just have to thank you, they made our trip an incredible experience! Their assistance was the best I’ve ever experienced, from the beginning, before we closed the contract, until the last second in Cusco. A special thanks to Ebert who was always available at Whastapp for any questions and information we needed, and to Will, our city tour and sacred valley guide. He was exceptional with us, very attentive and caring, always taking away all historical doubts, very patient and dedicated to the photos. Yonel, the guide of Machu Picchu, was also very dear and patient. Raised in the photos too! Do not doubt that Peru Grand Travel is a serious and reliable company, I have no complaints about my experience!

5.0010/10. No any worries in this trip. They even gave us the best times to visit each places, I believe. I’d rather let them plan the times than my own, they really know better, just an advice.
Great Service

5.00I am happy to have chosen Gran Travel Peru. They were great since the organization, the choice of the scripts, the payment, finally, everything well clarified. Karen who attended me from the beginning was tireless to remove my doubts. Cristian, who has been in charge since our arrival and departure, has shown to be very competent in what he does. Every day, at the end of the tours, he asked if everything was okay and remembered what he would do the other day. It was very worth having chosen is agency and indicate with peace of mind.
