Julio cesar made us fall in love with Peru- Machu Picchu Tour You Will Never Forget" - Julio cesar is a gem. Without ever hurrying or preaching, he was humorous, nice, and informed. We had plenty of time to appreciate every perspective, snap beautiful pictures, and even engage with locals. Julio Cesar made sure everyone was comfortable and knowledgeable; the train excursion through the Sacred Valley seemed like a dream. Machu Picchu left us breathless; Julio Cesar helped us really appreciate its spiritual and historical value. This is the one if you want a passionate local guide and a small group experience.

A Must see!! - Excellent tour! Getting there is the hard part, but once you finally get to Machu Picchu, it’s unbelievable. I have been to 20 countries and this has been the best most unforgettable adventure in my lifetime. I could almost cry seeing this beautiful ancient city up in the clouds.

Perfect Family-Friendly Tour: adriana Made It Simple and Enjoyable! - adriana was amazing for us with our four friends. While ensuring the grownups were interested, she made learning enjoyable for them. From tickets and transportation to meals and restroom breaks, she guided us through every stage. adrina even told stories that held their attention all the way through and taught my friends some Quechua vocabulary. Machu Picchu was easy and magical to visit. For families and friends, this is the perfect tour: a guide who really cares, reasonable speed, and deliberate pauses. Go go with elvis adventures.

It was easy, stress-free, and unforgettable. It was really the best way to see Machu Picchu. - This whole experience was perfectly planned from beginning to end. The company was very thorough and on time with every detail. We got all of our tickets, train information, and tour information through email, so we felt ready and encouraged before the trip even started. What stood out most was how quickly everything went, even though that day Machu Picchu was full of people. Our tour guide was amazing. He made it easy for us to find our way around the site, knew when to avoid crowds, and told us interesting things about every place we went. It wasn't enough to just see Machu Picchu; you had to understand it too. It really made a difference how well the whole team worked together, paid attention to details, and talked to each other. There was nothing we had to worry about. Everything went smoothly, from getting there to being on time. Elvis adventures is the tour company to go with if you want to see one of the seven natural wonders of the world. They are dependable, quick to respond, and have a lot of experience. This was more than just a tour; it was an amazing adventure that we will always remember. 100% recommended!

Adriana's knowledge set our Sacred Valley tour apart! - Adriana was among the most methodical and considerate guides we had ever encountered. We investigated Moray's experimental agricultural terraces and were astounded by the Maras salt mines. Adriana brought coca leaves and described local customs that enhanced the authenticity of the event. She planned our train to Aguas Calientes and made sure everything went well. She even carried ponchos just in case on the day of the Machu Picchu excursion. A really thorough and engaging trip into the Andes. Strongly advised for individuals seeking cultural diversity and serenity of mind.

Late booking - My friend and I had dreams of visiting Machu Picchu, but didn’t have any idea how much advance planning needed to happen to make it a smooth trip. We booked last minute and learned that tickets to Machu Picchu were all sold out! Dennis and his team swooped in to help save the day! The guides were kind, professional, and accommodating! They helped us to secure tickets to Machu Picchu so we wouldn’t have to reschedule our trip or stay longer than planned. The guides met us at the train station, stood in line with us to help secure our tickets, and even went back with us to help pick them up. This group was very good with communication, addressed all of our questions/concerns and made us feel comfortable that everything would be taken care of, and it was! I really can’t say enough positive things about this experience! I was very much under the weather, and Dennis offered to have one of the guides take me to a pharmacy to get medication for the altitude sickness. I would recommend this tour with this group 100 times over! This was definitely the experience of a lifetime!
