This was the best tour that we have ever done before. We can highly recommend the experience to: the best of Machu Picchu, Cusco and Amazon in seven days. The places we went to, the ancient ruins we saw, the delicious food we had and the picturesque landscapes we experienced through the tour were all memorable. But what made this tour so outstanding and unique were our guides: Peter our Machu Picchu expert and Gris that showed us the other sites in Cusco. They were not only amazing tours guides, very knowledgable and funny, but they also helped us to capture these beautiful sites with pictures. thanks a lot for that.

This was by far the best tour we made before heading out to Peru. The trip included getting picked up from Airbnb and dropped off at the Vistadome train station. Then from the train station to the bus up to Machu Picchu. There was always a guide from the tour company waiting for us. We were never left to wander what the next step was. Our guide at Machu Picchu was very knowledgeable on the history of Machu Picchu and was able to answer all our questions. After Machu Picchu it included a lunch buffet which we also enjoyed. Overall we were left with a beyond great experience.
