Our 6 days tour from Lima to Cusco and Machu Picchu was booked with Greatperu tours, through Viator. Our trip was well arranged every step, we did enjoy our trip with peace of mind. We like Greatperu tours had our itinerary in detail and printed out . Nilo is our guide in Cusco, he guided our visit with knowledge and experience. Driver Arturo is a very nice man, not only driving skillful ly, he would point to us the unexpected scene on the waywhich is not on the itinerary. We enjoyed our trip with them very much. We are thankful to have them during the trip. Its so special to have Beltron as our guide in Machu Picchu. He explained to us about Inca culture, construction, building Weve learned how a good guide to demonstrate his knowledge about his culture, he also shows other visitors what not to do in Machu Picchu, he has our respect. The hotel while we stayed in Cusco-- Hoteles Royal Inka is in old town, its convenient to venture out by ourselves. Very good service .
