One of the best experiences in life

5.00Everything perfect, the attention before and during the tour, very professional, the pick up service very punctual, and the train vista dome observatory a marvel, the first part of the tour we were few and we touched the fortune of being the only ones who spoke Spanish in the car so the staff on board interacted a lot with us, the dance, the drinks, the music all beautiful, the best part was the journey to Ollantaytambo, after there was filled the train and it was already something noisy and chaotic with so many tourists, they will only have 2 opportunities to take photos in the back of the train in motion, take advantage of them and be of the first, then the other people arrive and everyone will leave in the photo, arriving in Aguascalientes the guide very punctual and very clear gave us the instructions to follow, I already had all the access tickets and then I tell you, Machu Piccchu, not for nothing wonderful, divine all the route, advice for this site, be careful with what they carry, are very strict in terms of letting in and that not to the sanctuary, if they see that you want to promote something they will remove it, the return was half by train half by bus, everything very tidy and the transfer to the hotel again very punctual, definitely the best day of my trip through Peru, a little bit expensive, but mega worth it, they will not regret, tips, comfortable and warm clothes and much sunscreen.

5.00Absolutely brilliant service and extremely reliable. The amount of personal care that Irwin, Dario and others showed was genuinely awesome. We went on trips with them daily and they did an amazing job of organizing everything and communicating regularly. Nothing was too hard and they were absolutely patient to work within our requirements. I would highly recommend Minka to anyone and won't hesitate to use them again when we are here next. Thank you so much Irwin for making this so enjoyable and stress free.

5.00Julio was the nicest, kindest guide we could have imagined. He was so generous with his knowledge, his time and his photography to ensure we got the most out of our afternoon at Machu Picchu. He even escorted us to a lovely local restaurant in town while we waited for our return train. If I could award Julio and his company 10/5, I would! They elevated what was already one of the best days of our lives and come highly recommended by us!
