After a 10 day Traveling adventure with a group through another traveling group, my friend and I opted for a private tour of Rainbow Mountain! Unfortunately it snowed on the day we reserved our tour; however it was one of our most enjoyable days due to the kindness of our guide Richard. He was very informative regarding the history and culture of the area and people. We were able to see some beautiful sites on the way to and home. We met some local folks, stopped by a lovely place to eat Los Cabanas and have coffee. The food was awesome!! Richard took some beautiful photos and was patient with us when we wanted to stop to view some sights/alpacas!! The time with Cusco Holiday Peru Servicios Turisticos was one of our most favorite and memorable!! Thanks for such a wonderful time and adventure!!

In a spectacular location, it’s the best-known archaeological site on the continent. This awe-inspiring ancient city was never revealed to the conquering Spaniards and was virtually forgotten until the early part of the 20th century.

My wife and I did the tour Machu Picchu by train tour from cusco. The day started early and ended well into the night. But it didn't feel exhausting for a moment partly because of the spectacle that's Machu Picchu. But more so because of the meticulous arrangement and attention to detail provided by Jose Ttito and his crew. Thank you for the 5 star experience. If and when we get a chance to get back to this part of the world, we'll be sure to ring you up for a repeat experience.

My wife and I have just finished the 2 day tour with our guide, Domingo. From the night before the tour to stepping off the bus after Machu Picchu Domingo was excellent. As was, Jesus, our driver on Day 1. The scenery was unbelievable throughout and we never felt rushed at any stage - we were at Machu Picchu for 4.5 hours. Domingo also helped us take photos which we will cherish forever. I cant recommend this company and tour enough. Thank you, Domingo.
