The guide was excellent... - The guide was excellent and explained the entire trip so well - given it was a private trip and I was only being attended by the personal guide who was very caring ! The only challenge was to wait in a long queue for the bus to go up near the Machu Picchu entry gate !

Machu Picchu - Peru hikers has been a dream! They accommodated so much for our group and did not make anything seem a problem from pick up to drop off.
Isao Isao, man you are the bomb. The best photographer, and the best tour guide anyone can get for a tour. You flooded us with information but we never got bored. I actually only wanted more (sorry for asking a million questions)
You are fantastic!
This is one of greatest days of my life.

Amazing day! Super informative. Well planned out and lots of amazing pictures! - We fully enjoyed our private tour with Peru Hikers. From picking us up at our hotel in Cusco, dropping us to the train station in Ollantaytambo then meeting our guide in Aguas Calientes and after the tour picking us back up in Ollantaytambo and dropping us to our hotel in Maras. Everything was super easy and so well planned out.
We especially enjoyed tour guide Isao, he was absolutely amazing, his English was fantastic and he provided us with so much information on the history of Machu Picchu. Making the tour an overall great experience - not to mention he took the most amazing photos of all of us - top tier really! We had a lovely day with Peru Hikers - THANK YOU!

Isao is the one - Our journey to Machu Picchu was nothing short of magical, and that magic was made possible in large part thanks to our incredible guide, Isao. From the moment we met him, his passion for Incan history and deep knowledge of the region shone through. He didn’t just give us a tour—he told us a story. Every stone, every trail, every view came alive through his words.

Amazing day at Machu Picchu with Isao and Peru Hikers! - We arrived in Machu Picchu and knew we wanted a local guide to help us appreciate the wonder of Machu Picchu. We were VERY fortunate to book with Isao and Peru Hiker. If you are staying in Cusco or the Sacred Valley you will not find a more engaging and knowledgeable guide. The day was already going to be memorable and Isao made it the best possible! Whether you are in Cusco or Aguas Calientes be sure you travel with Isao and Peru Hikers!
