We had a wonderful experience! 🌟 George picked us up from hotel and went above and beyond to take care of us. As we started at 0340 AM . He was so kind and attentive, even helping us overcome altitude sickness by providing medicine, and later arranging a free drop-off to the airport the next day — truly exceptional hospitality. Our Machu Picchu tour was equally amazing. Roy, our guide, was excellent — very knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic. He shared fascinating insights about the site and also took beautiful photos of us, making the experience even more memorable. Overall, everything was well organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team with short notice . Highly recommend both George and Roy for anyone planning a trip to Machu Picchu

Cannot thank Jorge and his team(Edson, Cesar) enough. I booked my trip to Peru with very short notice and totally non refundable. I didn't know the situation with the Ministry of Culture and with Machu tickets being sold out online for months. I booked several other tours that were cancelled by the respective agencies for this reason. Jorge made a miracle happen for me and was able to secure my entry to the mountain. In addition, got me on Rainbow Mountain the next day and arranged my transportation to and from my ENTIRE trip. Great communication and execution of everything for me. They went above and beyond. I could not recommend them more. Amazing guys

A disappointment. I bought the ride through the Viator to not bother me. What an illusion... As soon as I made the purchase, the local operator contacted me and informed me that this tour (battle and return) was not available, but rather the 2-day program, with overnight stay in Aguas Calientes with the additional payment of 60 dollars per Cover. Until then, I agreed. I received the train tickets and the information that my MP tickets would be delivered by the guide in Aguas Calientes. From Viator, I received the tour voucher (including the information that MP tickets were included) and informed the billing. The day before, in Cusco, I received a Cover at the hotel and paid the difference of $60 per Cover, which would correspond to the AC hotel. On the scheduled day, with more than an hour of delay, we finally found the guide from Cusco who led us to the train station. When we arrived in Aguas Calientes, an unprepared guide, who was even at the station, informed us that we would have to buy tickets for the next day, but that, unfortunately, they were already exhausted!! That is: there were no entries for MP. After a lot of conversation with the operator, he assured us that we would make the visit with another local guide. However, this Cover also did not have the tickets and offered the possibility to enter the sanctuary clandestinely, through the exit door and, if we could enter, he would be there inside waiting to guide us. We turn our backs. I am not a criminal in my own country and I would not do anything wrong abroad. With a lot of frustration, we are back. Should have a transfer at the train station in Ollantaytambo. I didn't. After a lot of discussion, at 22:00 in the interior of Peru, a local taxi was provided. With fear and distrust, we accepted and happily arrived in Cusco well. But without visiting Machu Picchu, which was the goal of the trip. There were other perrengues, but what I told was the most important. I bought a package ready for guaranteed entry and tranquility and that was my mistake. There were no tickets. Now, I will try to return what I paid (more than 5,000 reais), but the frustration remains. I disseminate so others don't fall into that hole. At the end: we were, on that day, 6 people injured: people from Brazil, Spain and the USA. All with the same operator and version.

We booked this trip in June for September. Right away Mr. Jorge was caring - he was the tour operator. He arranged everything for our trip. He arranged transport from the airport to and from, took us on a tour to archeological sites and to purchase authentic alpaca sweaters and had lunch with us. He made our trip to Cusco amazing. He checked on us even though we werent with him making sure we were ok. Our guide Cesar for Machu Picchu shared his knowledge with us, even slowed down a bit for us. Jorge also had a driver waiting for us to take us home from when we got off the train from Machu Picchu. You wont go wrong booking this tour because you gain a guide for your entire trip.
