Ronald paced the route through Machu Picchu very nicely, with enough time for explanations of the history, culture and architecture of the ancient city. Also enough time for pictures, Ronald is also a great photographer.

Great trip arranged by Vipac. We were well taken care of from the moment we arrived Lima. The guides were super during the excursions. In particular Marcelo in Cusco was fantastic.

We went during the pandemic after it was safe enough to travel. Peru is beautiful, and this tour made all the difference. We experienced Lima, Cusco, Aguas Calientes, and Machu Picchu to the fullest. The guides were phenomenal, the sites were breath-taking, and the food was to die for. We can't recommend this tour highly enough.

The airport transfers were all very timely and efficient. The hotels were nice, per se, but after exploring the towns (Lima, Cusco, Aguas Calientes) the locations were not ideal. Having opted for the most costly accommodations on the tour, I think that having nice hotels in more centrally-located areas would have been preferable. The tours of Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu were all very good. I would have preferred to tour Machu Picchu the day after arrival in Aguas Calientes (not the same day), as the 4am wake up call, 5 am two-hour bus ride and 90-minute train ride led straight to the MP tour - that was an exhausting day! Overall, I would recommend this tour to travelers. Do some research beforehand to see where your preferred hotel locations are and ask for those when booking.

Every guide we had was on time, courteous, proficient in English and knowledgeable.
How those divers maneuvered the bus so well in traffic was a miracle!
Not knowing the hotel names and pick up times in advance was a little unnerving but the system of leaving messages at the front desk worked ok.
We selected the first class upgrade but in our opinion, the rooms were just standard. We had to pay extra in Aquas Calientes to avoid getting a room facing a busy street.
Because we arrived in Lima by cruise ship rather than plane, figuring out how to get to our hotel was a major headache. No thanks here to Viajes Pacifico who offered no alternatives.
Can't remember all the guides names but special thanks to Stefanie, Laura, River, Johnny and all the touring staff who were so helpful.

For a booked tour this tour caused me more stress than I can handle.
Before I arrived I sent my flight details about 3 times, and they did not input them into their system. I was paranoid I would not be picked up.
Upon arrival, I was told I would be left a message. No one ever left messages for me other than 2 nights.
When I flew out to Cusco, it was emphasized that I have to arrive before 10 as the tour starts in the afternoon. It was actually 2 pm for the city tour. I could have booked a later flight and slept in. Also, they brought me to the airport 3 hours early for a domestic flight in the morning when it was not busy.... leaving me lethargic for the 2 pm tour.
The cuty tour was dull in Cusco, but amazing in Lima.
Sawsaywaman was fine, nothing to complain about.
Matchu Pitchu where I am now was fine.
The thing that irritates me is that they did not give a detailed itinerary of times, not keep adequate records.
For Day 7 (no accomadation) I was told that I would be picked up from the airport and transferred to my hotel, and to let the company know once I booked my hotel. I booked it the morning of the flight to Cusco. I gave the drivers details of my hotel and departure back in Lima several times to convey and organzie.
Some other travellers had issues so the guide showed up to my hotel. He asked if he could help with anything, I wanted a confirmation. Again no information about my arrival and hotel was conveyed, so nothing was organized. He told me to contact Viator, Biator said talk to local company, then he said “sorry miss cant help”
If I knew this company was such a hassle I would have never booked a 7 day tour and expect departures and arrivals to be taken care of.
Book the activities yourself rather than dealing with this company.

We were satisfied with Viajes Pacifico's 7 days tour. they were very good, pick ups, transfers were all ontime, everything went smooth. Most Guides were good. every day we got message from our hotel front desk regarding information for next day. Although on the transfer from Cusco to Machu Picchu there were no guide with us on the train, but we were directed in every station by Pacifico's local guide. no worries all the way from beginning to the end. We gladly recommand this tour company.

South America is my favorite place to travel and Peru is right up there because of the rich history and varied places to visit. Lima is a wonderful city but beware of the water. Cusco is a very interesting city and Machu Picchu is an architectural wonder that shouldn't be missed. The train from Cusco to Machu Picchu is a must trip.
