Our guide and driver could not have been more helpful. The bus was just for us but was modern, clean and tidy. The visits to the archaeological sites and the weavers were fascinating and breaks were timed around our needs. I can't recommend this outing too highly.

Sacred Valley, Machu Pichu, Rainbow Mountain
We spent 3 full days with Domingo combining the 2-day Sacred Valley/Machu Pichu tour
with 1-day Rainbow Mountain, both originated in Cusco. The entire trip was awesome! Domingo
provided everything we could as and more for our small group. He was punctual, helpful,
knowledgeable, and a pleasure to travel with. His experience and local knowledge was evident
as he (and our drivers) guided us across and through these cultural and geographic spectacles.
Domingo provided insight we couldn't have achieved on our own,
while giving us our space to explore and enjoy the surrounding at our own pace. Domingo
also provided technical assistance if required, such as assisting us with train schedules.
Domingo help make this trip a marvelous and memorable adventure..

An unforgettable tour
Excellent planning and accompaniment of the whole team. A lot of professionalism on the part of agents and guides.
The only thing we didn't like was the little lunch option. While the buffet was optional, there were no other options either or told us in any previous village if we wanted to buy our lunch beforehand. We were practically forced to buy that lunch which by the way we found expensive.

Above and Beyond! The Best Way to See Peru
Our 14-day trip to Peru with Machu Picchu Valjes was absolutely seamless from start to finish. Traveling to a new continent with children where there is a language barrier can be daunting, but this team made us feel completely at home. From the moment we landed until the moment we departed, we had professional, prompt guides and drivers by our side.
