Repetiría sin dudar
Nada que reprochar, todo salió como estaba planteado. Llegar a Machu Picchu fue impresionante. Buena logística, se ve que lo hacen todos los días. El autobús para subir y bajar a Machu Picchu nos resolvió el día. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe. Lo recomiendo sin dudar.

Recomendable
Cumple con lo que ofrece. La explicación en Sacred Valley nos dejó pensando. Salió todo en horario, sin sobresaltos. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe. Ideal para tener un panorama general y después volver a lo que más te gustó. Algunas paradas necesitan más sombra para esperar. Nada grave, pero vale saberlo antes de reservar.

Nada que reprochar, todo salió como estaba planteado. Lo de Cusco fue lo mejor de la visita. Cambiamos la fecha dos días antes y no hubo ningún problema.

Not to be missed
Absolutely worth every penny. Booking was straightforward and confirmation came through instantly. Valle Sagrado blew us away, we were not expecting that. We finished with a clear picture of how the city fits together. Easily one of the best things we did.

Muy buena atención
Muy recomendable, sin vueltas. Lo de embarque y desembarque en Bulevar NNUU - parada de Cusco Tour Bus es un acierto. Sale más que hacerlo suelto, pero te ahorra toda la organización. El guía manejaba los dos idiomas del grupo sin problema. Faltó un baño disponible en una parte del recorrido. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite Cusco.

Better than expected
We spent the evening talking about how good it had been. I compared prices before booking and this was the best deal. The guide gave us restaurant tips that turned out to be spot on. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Cusco.
