Genuine reviews from travelers on 1-Day South America tours
Alex Kotsch | Traveled in March
We have booked the 3 day tour including the Sacred Valley, short Inca Trail and Machu Picchu and enjoyed it very much! Our guide (Ronald) was very knowledgeable and a good company. They have also chosen very good accommodation and restaurants for us.
Kate Reese | Traveled in July
I booked the 2-days inca trail with David, the tour manager of this tour company. It was a smooth process, he is the best at organizing cars, trains, permits, tickets, nice hotel and nice meals in a very short notice. Very impressive for amount of work he did compare to the time I gave him, really. Rom, my trek guide is patient, knowledgeable and cares about your once in a lifetime experience to get how you want it to be. I have joy when I looked back at those photos from the trip. Every part of itinerary was on time, professional and customer satisfaction base. I feel safe and happy. Recommend this local operator, look no further. I will use them again in the future. Thank you.

"Excellent tour! We (50f, & 2 teens) found this tour operator from great reviews and had a great experience. Two-day Incra train tour with hotel. Clear and thorough communication before and during the tour. (Definitely follow tips about needing 6mos on passport, collecting and rechecking baggage in Lima, and arriving at least 2 days before tour for acclimation to altitude.) One of our group had altitude sickness so bad they couldn't do the hike, and the company helped us find an alternative so one of us could still do the hike and two of us took the train all the way to Aguas Calientes and were still able to tour Machu Picchu on the second day. Excellent service and hotel. Wouldn't go with another company.
Emily Becker | Traveled in August
The most incredible experience!! I can not recommend this trip more highly! We had the most wonderful guide Ruben, he was absolutely fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and so much fun, he made sure every single person on our trek had an amazing experience. The local travel specialist truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible Inca Trail experience. We even had an issue with our flights out of Cusco and Ruben went so far as to rebook us on an earlier train from Machu Picchu, set up transport from the train back to cusco to pick up our bags, and then to the airport - we made our flights all thanks to Ruben and the spectacular team! Henry our second guide was also wonderful!! Everyone should do this trek, it was the most unforgettable adventure!!

The tour operator's customer service team did an outstanding job planning our tour. An error that was out of our control popped up and they took care of it and waved the additional fee. I can't express just how wonderful it was to plan our trip with this tour operator and its customer service team.
M. Cem Karakus | Traveled in October
I joined the 2 day Machu Picchu hike with this travel operator. The communication prior to hike was great. They answered all my questions. Our tour guides Reynaldo and Marizol were great. Very friendly, very knowledgeable and really made it a great hike. The hotel we stayed in Agua Caliente was clean and comfortable with good breakfast. 👍🏻
