5.00An absolutely amazing experience. Isao was such an amazing tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Other tour companies should be head hunting him. A great ambassador for any tour company. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

5.00It was a great experience. Our tour guide Isao at Matchu Pitchu was knowledgeable and patient. You did not feel rushed ever an he answered every question. Our driver who picked us up at the hotel and train was lovely as well. It is a long way to go and exhausting but still worth it.
Machu Picchu in one day

5.00This is an excellent tour. There is a lot of transportation involved but it is clearly communicated and there are people there to help if needed. Our tour guide Isao was exceptional for the Machu Picchu portion of the day. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He is also a fun and creative photographer who takes pics for you on your own phone. We love the pictures he took and will have them as keepsakes. Thanks so much for a memorable day Isao!
Perfect day at Machu Picchu

5.00It was a long day but the experience was wonderful. Machu Picchu is one of those places that pictures never do justice. Our tour guide did a wonderful job of answering out many questions but not importantly he geared our pace that was suitable for our 70 year average age.
Excellent tour highly recommended

5.00Peru Hikers were exceptional from precooking to drop off to hotel after tour. Danny answered all questions before we booked and continued throughout. Our hotel pickup was on time and the Vistadome train provided great views. Our tour guide JD met us at the train station and was friendly, engaging, extremely knowledgeable about the history of Machu Pichu along with the history and culture of the Incas. He is a native of the area and has much passion and pride in his heritage. We had a group of 4 and did circuit 2 which ware very happy we chose. We were told this is the best choice. There is a reason this tour company has 5 star rating and all the excellent reviews. We looked at many other options and we are so glad we chose them. I would highly recommend using them for your day trip to Machu Pichu if want a hassle free exceptional experience. Thanks JD. Steve and Cathy
Amazing Machu Picchu hike with Isao

5.00Just finished doing the circuit 2 with Isao from Peru hikers. He is one of the best guides I have ever had, not only was he friendly and knowledgeable, he was just an overall great guy. The Machu Picchu hike was way better than expected. Some things I recommend to bring if you see clouds are a rain jacket, we lucked out and didn’t get any rain but it was seeming to.
