“Hyame was excellent as a tour leader. We only had a few hours in Cusco before heading off to do the Macchu Picchu trek. This was a great tour to get a glimpse of some sites that were too far to walk to, especially when needing to adjust to the high altitude. Her English was good and responded to questions well. I was well-pleased with this last minute booking and would have missed out on many Cusco treasures without booking it.”

He even picked up the trash on the ground during the tour, showing his pure passion for preserving the beauty of Machu Picchu. The tour was fun and incredibly informative. They picked us up from the train, helped us skip the waiting line at the bus stop and helped us skip the line at Machu Picchu. We booked super last minute, and they were still somehow able to get us into the circuit we wanted. Our guide extended his time with us just to show us more. I can’t say enough…”
