Amazing experience with our guide Fredy! The gist of the experience was unforgettable — perfect organization, breathtak
We had an amazing experience with our guide Fredy — everything exceeded our expectations! The organization was flawless from start to finish, and we always felt well taken care of. Fredy was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was perfectly arranged and that we were comfortable at all times. His storytelling brought the history and magic of Machu Picchu to life — truly engaging and insightful. On top of that, he went above and beyond by capturing beautiful photos and videos for us, which made the experience even more special. One of the highlights was how he arranged an early morning visit to the viewpoint of Machu Picchu — such a magical and unforgettable moment, without crowds and with breathtaking views. The timing throughout the entire trip was perfect, never rushed and never boring — everything was well balanced. It was also my husband’s birthday that day, and Fredy made it truly special by arranging a surprise dessert with candles and a birthday greeting from the restaurant where we stopped for lunch after the hike. Such a thoughtful and memorable touch! Highly recommend Fredy to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and caring guide. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

Charly was a fantastic guide!!! Went above and beyond to make us comfortable and the experience enjoyable. Helped celebrate my friend’s birthday by organizing for a surprise cake. Also spent extra time guiding us through Machu Picchu—which he totally didn’t have to do but did anyways!! 10/10 guide.

This was a great trip. Daniel, Siche, and everyone involved was amazing. I would highly recommend this trip, and I would even more specifically recommend our tour group. They kept everyone upbeat, kept us informed, and allowed everyone to go at their own pace while keeping us safe. Shout out to the chefs (whose names I forgot -- Sorry!). Having fresh meals for breakfast and lunch was really icing on the cake. Daniel was very experienced with everything so I never felt rushed, or we were lost, etc. Highly Recommend!
