Recomendo, sabendo o que esperar. Usamos uma experiência noturna única nos Mountain Sky Huts / Skydome o tempo todo e funcionou perfeitamente. Voltamos a Epic Hike no dia seguinte por conta própria. Muito bom para uma primeira vez na cidade. A única ressalva: o grupo era maior do que imaginávamos.

Estuvo bueno, con altibajos. Se agradece que venga con transporte Cusco â Salkantay inicio. Se puede hacer sin experiencia previa, te explican todo antes. Se respetó al minuto el horario de regreso. El wifi que prometían no funcionaba. Con esos detalles arreglados sería un 10.

Absolutely worth every penny. We went back to Cusco on our own the next day. It costs more than going alone, but it saves you all the planning. One of the best things we have booked online.

Muy buena experiencia en general. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. Lo de Caminhada fue el momento del día. El audio se cortaba en un par de tramos. Lo recomendaría igual.

Good experience
Good experience, with one thing worth knowing beforehand. Ideal if you want a day out of the city. Cusco justifies the early start. For what we paid, it is exceptional value. I would have preferred less transfer time and more time on site. A good experience on balance.

Vale cada centavo
Terminamos el día hablando de lo bien que había estado. El tiempo en Machu Picchu fue suficiente para disfrutarlo de verdad. El guía se acordaba del nombre de todos, un detalle que se agradece. De lo mejor que contratamos por internet.
