A glimpse of Peru, before you arrive.
“ It was an amazing experience ”
Love the tour guide, he was very informative and shared some spectacular information about the citadel. The service onboard the train was impressive and comfortable, and the journey back was filled with dancing and singing from the live concert. Would choose your company again.
“ Incredible experience ”
The best option to visit Machu Picchu. Cesar and Diana took great care of us on board the train, and our guide Víctor was amazing: he gave us a perfect tour, the time we needed for photos, and a complete explanation of the ruins. Everything is perfectly coordinated.
“ The experience gets my approval ”
Overall, the experience gets my approval. The train, transfers, and the day's organization delivered on what was promised.
