Excellent experience with Percy

5.00Percy was an excellent guide for the duration of our trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything to do with Machu Picchu, but also Peruvian culture generally, history, food, flora and fauna. He made sure we had as much time as we needed around the site and didn’t rush us, which we really appreciated. We had an amazing time. We are planning to come back to Peru in a few years to stay for longer. We will definitely be contacting Percy again when we do!

5.00Wonders of Peru help setup all transportation (other than train) and had people waiting for us with signs at each location. Even when our train was 2 hours late. They were still there waiting for us. They gave us all the info we needed to properly get our next day pass by waiting in line. The guide Percy was extremely knowledgable about the entire history and answered all of our questions. He was really fun to spend the day with. And he catered to our family which had a 3 year old. He was very patient and kind with her all day. Amazing experience
