5.00Excellent tour! Getting there is the hard part, but once you finally get to Machu Picchu, it’s unbelievable. I have been to 20 countries and this has been the best most unforgettable adventure in my lifetime. I could almost cry seeing this beautiful ancient city up in the clouds.

5.00My friend and I had dreams of visiting Machu Picchu, but didn’t have any idea how much advance planning needed to happen to make it a smooth trip. We booked last minute and learned that tickets to Machu Picchu were all sold out! Dennis and his team swooped in to help save the day! The guides were kind, professional, and accommodating! They helped us to secure tickets to Machu Picchu so we wouldn’t have to reschedule our trip or stay longer than planned. The guides met us at the train station, stood in line with us to help secure our tickets, and even went back with us to help pick them up. This group was very good with communication, addressed all of our questions/concerns and made us feel comfortable that everything would be taken care of, and it was! I really can’t say enough positive things about this experience! I was very much under the weather, and Dennis offered to have one of the guides take me to a pharmacy to get medication for the altitude sickness. I would recommend this tour with this group 100 times over! This was definitely the experience of a lifetime!
