Great tour guide!

5.00I went on the two day tour of Machu Picchu with my family, and our tour guide David was great! He was very prepared and helpful, and he has a lot of knowledge that I don’t think I would have easily found elsewhere. He was very nice and funny and made it a great experience.
Best cultural tour experience!

5.00I had the best experience organizing a girls trip to Peru with the help and amazing service provided by David and his team. From day 1, he kept in touch and updated me with every single detail. He was very receptive to all our needs with accommodations and inclusions. Our trip was a success because of careful attention to details. I highly recommend Peruvian Cultural Tours for your next trip!
Unforgettable trip to Peru!

5.00What a spectacular experience all because of David! He was our guide for 10 days and he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, taken care of and enjoying ourselves. He’s extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about everything including all the tourist sites and even the small towns we passed throughout the country. David, you made this trip unforgettable and for that, thank you!!
Unforgettable Experience at Machu Picchu with Our Guide David

5.00Our visit to Machu Picchu was truly unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide, David. His passion for what he does was evident from the very beginning. He explained everything with such clarity, patience, and enthusiasm, making the history and significance of the site come alive for us. What made the experience even more special was the birdwatching session we had outside the main site. David’s deep knowledge and ability to identify birds just by their sounds was impressive. He helped us spot several species we would have otherwise missed, and his excitement was contagious. We felt truly immersed in both the cultural and natural beauty of the area, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, David, for making our trip so memorable!
Fantastic Tour. Highly Recommend

5.00At the time of researching our trip we were unsure of the transport links and how to reach MP. Peruvian Culture Tours made it all so seamless. I highly recommend David and the team, together they ensured that we had the best experience. David always goes the extra mile. We have had an unforgettable trip. A private tour allows you to enjoy the tour at your own pace.
Amazing tour with an excellent guide!

5.00We did the 2nights, one day tour to Machu Picchu with David that included one day walking on the Inca Trail, and we chose to do bird watching on the way. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and David made a lot of effort to take care of us and to find birds for us. He had great knowledge of birds, plants and the Inca sites. He was very personable and we really enjoyed our time with him and the tour was amazing, for sure the best I have ever done! He also was great at changing our train tickets when we needed to get back earlier.
Best trip of my life.

5.00The trip to Machu Picchu was an incredible experience. Our nice tour guide, David, made the trip exceptional by telling us about some of Peru's wonderful history and culture. The entire trip from picking us up at the airport on the first day, hotel reservations, trip to the Sacred Valley, trip to Machu Picchu, until the last day of the trip was very organized. Thank you Peruvian Culture Tours for making this trip unforgettable and exceptional.
WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR IN MACHU PICHU

5.00Hello, I wanted to say that my trip to Machu Picchu with David was excellent from the first day. My partner and I came from Argentina, so we booked the entire service months in advance to be sure we had access to this wonder and everything else, like transportation, hotel, etc. It all came out 10 points!! In everything related to this excursion and the others (according to the Package) He accompanies you, explains, takes the time to discuss any doubt or topic you want to go deeper into. Personally, this is the second time I have traveled with Him and I would do it again, just like my friends are doing. Today, David is no longer a guide for me... but a friend in Cuzco who is committed to making sure that one enjoys and feels the energy of the mountains. At the end of this whole adventure, we know that we will repeat it all with friends and family, because we always have to return to Cuzco.
Best Machu Picchu experience, Cusco trip

5.00Peruvian Culture Tours (David) was amazing. We were a group of 17 people ranging from kids to seniors. We did the 6 day/7 night Cusco Tour. From day 1 picking up at the airport was very swift and organized. Throughout our trip we took multiple buses, trains, and stayed at other hotels. Every tour and transportation was taken care of. We did not have to worry about anything. David has a lot of knowledge on the history behind every site we visited. He explained everything very thoroughly. In our group was Spanish and English only speaking individuals and he was able to accommodate both sides. David speaks both English and Spanish very well but in order to accommodate our group he brought on board another tour guide (Percy) that helped. (We were very thankful for that). We would recommend to book atleast a few months in advance so they can help with the best tickets for Machu Picchu, train and hotel accommodations. We strongly recommend doing the Machu Picchu trip in 2 days. Other companies squeeze everything in 1 day but that is a very long day and a lot of traveling. We spent 1 night in Aguas Calientes and were well rested to explore Machu Picchu the following day. We would highly recommend Peruvian Culture Tours to anyone wanting to visit Cusco and have a great experience.
2 days 1 night in Aguas Calientes Machu Picchu tour

5.002 days and 1 night in Aguas Calientes Machu Picchu tour: We booked this tour short notice about a month or so ago and it was absolutely amazing. David’s service and guidance was very good and all was sorted for us. We managed to get circuit 2 which is the best route to explore Machu Picchu. We were recommended brilliant restaurants and had an amazing time. If you are looking to book to complete Machu Picchu and see this amazing wonder of the world, I would highly recommend David and Peruvian culture tours. They offer a range of tours whether you are limited on time or want to see more of the sacred valley and surrounding area they can provide this. From Cusco to Aguas Calientes to Machu Pichuu it has been an amazing tour with door to door service. Thank you so much David and the team I can’t thank you enough. I highly recommend!
