We did this tour after our Lake Titicaca Trip and this was the best experience we had in South America. The travel company was very well organised and attentive. The guide knew a lot about the archaeological site too. Highly recommended.

Had an amazing journey with John. He showed us the major tourist attractions and then took us to places you’d only know if you’re a true local. John’s has superior knowledge on the history of the region and is also a fantastic translator. Definitely will be choosing John and Machu Picchu Tours for my next trip to Peru
