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!
