Fantastic tour! Victor was a great guide for day 1; very knowledgeable about not only the places we were visiting, but about everything related to Peru's history and present. He also answered all our questions about both days' activities. Judy was our day 2 guide (Machu Picchu) and very pleasant and thorough about the Incan history. She met us at our hotel and took us to the top of Machu Picchu and explained everything is detail. Transportation was first class on both days, as was the lunch included for day 1. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The tour overall was great, it was made memorable because of the first part of the tour. John and Martin were the greatest. John was super knowledgeable, friendly, caring and super fun! Martin was our driver and kept us safe, on time and was also super friendly and courteous. From Cuzco to the train, all of our stops were super amazing! Peru is full of beautiful gems and amazing food! I didn’t enjoy the second part of my trip and the moment John and Martin left us at the train station we were informed of how to proceed to our next guide in Aguas Calientes, after a long train ride we were picked up by our guide and walk perhaps 4 min and he told us that was our hotel, told us the time to be ready in the morning and left. He was not what we expected since John n Martin were exceptional. The hotel was horrible, the mattress had a dent that you literally sleep in the hole, sheets were hard and nasty, the towels looked like the rags I use for my car and there is a sign that if you dirty them with makeup or use them to clean your shoes they will charge $30.00 USD. Water was hot n bathroom was clean, no toiletries. Breakfast was not bad but was not good! Hotels are super cheap in the area, the tour company could do so much better! That place was a dump. Our tour guide was ready and on time you our journey to Machu Picchu and that was super amazing! Words and photos can’t describe what your eyes see! At the end of Machu Picchu our tour guide instructed us to take the train back in about 3/4 hours and we just walked around, had lunch took photos! We went back to the hotel to pick up our luggage that they were kind to hold for us and walk to the ocean of people and the madness to take the train back to Cuzco. All this on your own! You figure it out! When we got back to Cuzco, it was like seeing family you haven’t seen in years. Martin was there to get us at the train station and take us back to our wonderful hotel in Cuzco. The JW Marriott. We shared our experience with Martin, he was very professional about it. Overall great experience, John, Martin and Perus amazing sites made our journey a memorable one!

It was an amazing tour for sure! The first day we went to the sacred valley and the tour guide, Efrain, is very professional by providing so much history knowledge. We were lucky of only having 3 people in our tour, so Efrain could focus more on us. His knowledge definitely led me wanting to learn more about the Inca history. The second day, we were heading to Machu Piccu, and the new guide Edwin was also amazing by providing so many information about the ruins. He also knows where to take the best pictures and was able to took pictures for us. Since we are very small group, we were able to slow down and enjoyed the stunning Machu Piccu. I really appreciated these two days with amazing tour guide! Definitely worth it!

This was such a great trip from start to finish. Jhordy was so helpful explaining everything to us and helping us get tickets to Waynapicchu mountain. Effy was an incredibly knowledgeable, kind tour guide - even assisting one family member down the stairs whose knee was hurting. By the end he felt like family. I highly recommend this tour!!

Jhordy from Fly Cusco helped us book the tour. He was very professional, responsive and caring to work with. He helped us join the 2-day tour from our hotel in Urubamba valley rather than trekking back to Cusco early in the morning. We were picked up from Urubamba Valley in a nice transport (nominal cost) and he also took care of our luggage as well. The tour itself was great. Small group and we had a great tour guide in Ifrahim for the first day. On hindsight, I should also booked my Cusco airport pickup with Jhordy. Carlos Alberto Sifuentes Sullcaccori was our guide at Machu Pichu and he was a great guide! We are a family of 4 with 2 tweens. He met up with us at our hotel the night before our tour of MachuPichu and gave great advice to tackle altitude sickness. He got the hotel way before time….(early morning 5.30am!) and had all the information ready. We had a great tour of Machupichu, he was well mannered and patient in explaining and answering all our questions. He even hiked with 2 of us to Huayana Pichu…again very patiently as we took many pictures along the way. We highly recommend him if you are looking for a private guide. Thank you Carlos!

Everything went perfectly for our 2-day tour organized by Fly Cusco. Our family group of 7 adults saw the most amazing sights in Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Pisac and of course, Machu Picchu were our favorite parts of the tour. Our tour guide Victor did a great job of making sure we saw all the things we requested; he was so knowledgeable about the history of the area. I was so impressed and grateful to our Machu Picchu guide Jorge, who made the climb to the top of Machu Picchu work for me. He was so helpful and told us all about the place and history during our resting stops along the climb to the top.

What an amazing tour!! It was so well organized from beginning to end. On day 1 we had Eferaim and he was a great story teller and told us very interesting stories about the multiple sites we visited. On day 2 we had Wilma who showed us around Machu Picchu and she was so knowledgeable about the history. We all thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it!
