Machu Picchu was a dream destination for such a long time, and with all the latest restrictions and changes we decided to put such travel in the hands of someone with experience and well rated in the market. Jose Luis was an amazing guide, he waited for us by the side of the train trek for over a hour for our train to drop us off. He was incredibly informative and constantly pointed things in the trail out to us. He also has an amazing knowledge of the history, biology and archeology of the area. The time went by incredibly quickly and couldn't recommend the experience enough! We ended up doing a 1 day trek as due to unforseen circumstances the 2 day was no longer an option. Just Amazing ;)

My husband and I did the one day sacred valley and machupicchu tour and were very satisfied! Jose Luis , our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the Inca history and knew the exact spots for best pictures. The hotel pick up and drop off were great as well. Highly recommend tour!

We’ve had a great trip under the guidance of our expert guide JJ. During our 2-day tour we got to know the different Inca structures and their functions, while enjoying the beautiful panorama views along the way. Jose Luis also took his time to answer all questions we had and take a lot of pictures on the different viewpoints.
