Fantastic!!! - Isao was an absolutely amazing tour guide! He answered all our questions not only about Machu Picchu but also about many other topics, including economics, politics, and general life in Peru. He kept our interest the entire time. I am impressed by his knowledge and would recommend him to everyone.

Peru Hikers to Machu Picchu excellent - Absolutely excellent. The best experience I have ever had. Perú Hikers organised everything from the trains to the Machu Picchu circuit tickets. We did circuit 3 and 1 in a day and it was amazing.

Best Guide for MACHU PICCHU - We had the best experience with Isao as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and also a great photographer. His English was very clear, and we had no issues understanding him — which can sometimes be a challenge when visiting a country where English isn’t the first language. Our visit to Machu Picchu was the highlight of our trip to Peru so far.
