Best Peru Tour Company
Cannot say enough great things about Tour My Peru Company. Juan Carlos is fantastic, super knowledgable, tells the best stories - both historical, and mythical (or are they!?) I have toured with them a couple of times now and they never disappoint. They are able to personalize to exactly what you're looking for, offer a more "local" experience and visit the off the beaten trail places as well as deliver an amazing trip to Machu Picchu!

Carlitos is a great guide
I did the 4-day Inca Trail with my then fiancee and friends with Carlitos as our guide. He is very knowledgable with the history of the trail and gave us technical tips on how to hike better as well. Would recommend Carlitos as your guide!

Sacred Valley Tour
My friends and I took the Sacred Valley Tour from Ollantaytambo and had a great time! The pacing was perfect. Half of us had altitude sickness and the other half did not but all of us were able to enjoy our day. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very attentive. I highly recommend the tour!
