    This was my dream come true, the tour company was incredibly well organized. They briefed us the night before the tour and we knew exactly what to expect at each point. The guide, Roxana was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. She brought the history to life with her knowledge about the Incas and Machu Picchu.
