We had wonderful, attentive tour guides who were extremely accommodating and helpful... they made the entire experience worth every penny. From start to finish the communication was always clear and easy. Andres could be reached at all times which we sincerely appreciated. Edson was a wonderful guide through Cusco, Julio took us to Machu Picchu and our favorite tour guide was the guy who drove us from Cusco to the train station in Ollantaytambo (I'm so embarrassed I don't know his name) but he picked us up early enough to make some stops (like we stopped at the Sacred Valley, Urabamba and the most incredible pit stop in Chincheras where we were able to see how alpaca fur is washed, died and sewn into gorgeous blankets, sweaters and poncho's.) Highly recommend you go there and buy the gorgeous work they create right in front of your eyes. All of the guides made us feel like they really cared about us and wanted us to have a great experience, and they were SO knowledgeable of everything in the area!! We got really lucky picking this tour. The only thing we wish we could have changed is our train rides to and from Aguas Calientes. To get there, we got picked up at 9 am and our train ride was at noon in Ollantaytambo, so we got to Aguas Calientes pretty fast (only about 1 and a half hour train ride) and we really did not have much to do once we got there. I wish we could have had much more time in Cusco that morning because there is SO much stuff to see/do there - so I feel if our train ride could have been in the evening that would have been nice. And then our train ride back was from Aguas Calientes to Poroy (the Cusco station) - which was like 3 and a half hours! Plus almost an hour in the mini-van back to our hotel. We definitely wasted time there. I highly recommend this tour but see if when you are booking the train rides you can do a round trip to AND from Ollantaytambo so you never have to go to Poroy, and see if you can head to Aguas Calientes around 5 or 6 pm and really spend most of the morning exploring Cusco. I will say there are amazing restaurants in Aguas Calientes there but aside from that, Cusco is really where you will want to spend more time. And last tip: DEFINITELY spend the night in Aguas Calientes before you go to Machu Picchu - this way you can get a good nights sleep and head to Machu right when they open - this way it's before the sun rises and before it gets packed! What a wonderful trip. Thank you Valencia!!!!
We had used Viator for day trips but never a multiday trip and had some trepidation about that but we were pleasantly surprised The rep.from Valencia Cusco Travel, Andres, did a good job of briefing us, was knowledgeable and was a great people person! Everyone showed up on time, and it ran smoothly. We had good guides for Cusco and Machu Picchu. Other people joined us for different parts of our small group tour which was fun.
