        Cusco Tour
        We had a great tour in Cusco with Mi Guia Machupucchu. Our guide, Joan, is very knowledgeable, and speaks very good English. You can tell he loves Inca culture and loves to share his knowledge with tourists. Together with our driver, Juan, Joan took very good care of us. We will definitely consider using Mi Guia Machupicchu if we come back to visit in the future.

        The best transport and guide company in the Cusco/Sacred Valley region.
        I don’t know if anyone will read as much as I want to write about how great the guides and drivers were from Mi Guía Machu Picchu. From the moment we arrived my family and I were greeted with a smile and hospitality that you would expect from a five star guide and driver. They were very accommodating allowing us to make stops as necessary or requested within reason. Initially I was not thinking of hiring the guide and driver but it made the trip so much more enjoyable and educational. The time flew by between sites and the experience was so good that all I can think about is when am I coming back to see more with this guide company! Highly recommend them as a transport company as well as a guide company they operated in both capacities for us and I don’t expect to use anyone else when I come back next year.

        I finally realized my long-time dream of seeing Machu Picchu
        The Mi Guia machupicchu travel agency professionally organized trip to Machu Picchu by a guide with a lot of practice and a huge amount of information not only about Machu Picchu but also the area around Cusco. Wonderful understanding for the physical limitations of older people and personal care caused total relaxation while overcoming terrain elevations and other obstacles in the field. I definitely recommend this guide and The Mi Guia machupicchu travel agency especially for people with limited physical and health capabilities.

        Amazing Day Cusco
        This tour was amazing. Both the driver Juan, and Joan the tour guide were very amicable and cared about what me and my husband wanted to do and see. They even arrange transportation for us after the Tour to take us back to the airport. Joan is very knowledgeable and hope to one day be able to read the book he’s writing. They even provided the tour disregard that the city had a strike so that they can make sure that the tourist get to experience the city without being affected by what other people are doing in their city.

        Exceptional tour!
        We had an incredible full-day tour with Joan and couldn't be more satisfied! Joan's extensive knowledge of Peru's history, culture, politics, nature, and wildlife is truly impressive. He answered all our questions with ease and provided fascinating insights that made our tour even more enjoyable. His passion for sharing his expertise is evident, and his enthusiasm is contagious! We also want to commend our skilled driver, who ensured our safety and comfort throughout the tour. The combination of Joan's expertise and our driver's professionalism made for a seamless and unforgettable experience. We felt comfortable and supported throughout the tour, and Joan's warm personality made us feel like we were exploring with a friend. If you're looking for a comprehensive and engaging tour experience in Peru, look no further than Joan! He exceeded our expectations in every way. Don't hesitate to book your tour with him – you won't regret it!

        Great toure with a great agency
        The tour was amazing. The agancy did their best. They went above and beyond to make this tour pleasent. They even have medical kit, our guide Juan gave us even the shot of oxygen. They made it possible to go with motorbikes. Since our toure ended quicker than we expected, Juan took us to see two more places (free of charge). He gave us a lot of info about history etc.

He gave me very detailed introduction to the various sites we visited . He even played music for me during the tour. The driver and the guide were extremely polite and professional.

        Great private transport option
        I booked private transport to do a custom Sacred Valley tour with Mi Guia Machupicchu. We booked the night before we decided to go and they were so responsive! It was organised in minutes! Luigi was our driver. He was so lovely- he was prompt and accommodating to our requests. Head office was also very communicative and checking in on how our tour was going throughout the day. Would highly recommend this service!

        Book with them!
        I had an amazing experience visiting Machu Picchu thanks to this company! My guide, Joan, was very knowledgeable and my entire visit went so seamlessly! My pictures came out so beautifully, Machu Picchu is so breathtaking! I would highly recommend using this company! I traveled solo and felt so well looked after! My ticket was for 7am and they handled my entire experience from 3am pickup to drop off back in Cusco!

        5 star tour of Rainbow Mountain
        I went with this tour company based off recommendations from a friend that used the company and Joan was their guide.. I reached out to Joan who asked what I wanted to see at Rainbow Mountain and within minutes I had an itinerary to review. Joan took the stress out of trying to make plans and bookings to get to Rainbow Mountain. His tour company handled all my bookings including pickup at hotel, entrance fees, a driver Juan in a new SUV for exploring. Joan is very informative, great with photos and always available to be reached via WhatsApp. I felt totally safe on this tour and opted for the private tour to keep things on my pace. You will not regret choosing this company. 5 stars on everything and loved Peru.

        Go to Peru 🇵🇪
        I loved my tour with this company. I was lucky enough to get Joan whom a friend had referred. Joan asked what I wanted to see and took care of booking everything all I had to do was show up in Peru.. if your have ever considered going to Peru and hesitate don’t be call and ask that you get Joan and his driver Juan and you will not be a tourist when you leave but a friend/family. Itinerary provided by the company was spot on. Tours were always on time. English speaking and private tour took all my stress away knowing I was being taken care of and my needs meet everyday.

      My Machu Picchu visit with Mi Guia Machupicchu included a one night’s stay in Aguas Calientes, all necessary transportation/tickets, and a guide. I am so glad I chose this company because my experience was PERFECT!

      The team was communicative, detailed, and friendly from the beginning. Once it was time for the trip, Joan met me in-person to explain step by step how it was going to work. He even regularly checked in with me throughout the two days to ensure everything was going well.

      As a solo traveler, I expected the Machu Picchu tour be with a larger group, but instead, Joan told me that they hired a private guide for me so that I could get the most out of the experience. The guide they hired, Yoel, was excellent and gave me a truly unforgettable tour.

      Once I returned to Cusco, Joan met me as soon as I stepped off the bus and then dropped me off right at the door of my hotel. He and his team provided me top notch service from start to finish, making my visit smooth and easy. While other travelers were rushing around to buy tickets and find their way, my visit was not one bit stressful because Joan had everything so organized for me.

      I highly recommend Mi Guia Machupicchu!

      Generally we are very independent traveler's, we hiked the Salkantay trail on our own, but I highly recommend a guide for Machu Picchu. Honestly it's almost insensitive not to, as I wouldnt have known what I was looking at or all the cultural and historical significance, and it is their cultural heritage afterall. They helped us plan out everything and were able to get us last minute passes and bus tickets that would otherwise have been unavailable and difficult to navigate on our own. Our guide spoke fluent English and was extremely knowledgeable, he stayed in communication with us the days leading up,
      and even offered to help us navigate the train back to Cusco. It was a great experience and a great way to see Machu Picchu, which is an absolute must. Our guide even got us to a great viewpoint which would have otherwise required a reservation made months in advance.

      I booked the tour a few weeks before the trip. They contacted me about my travel arrangements and said they would meet me day of at 9:15 at the Aguas Calientes train station. A few day later, I contacted them to ask if the 10am entrance time to MP was appropriate as I was being asked by the ticket seller. The tour guide service said yes. Then at a later date, they texted and said for $50 more I could have a better deal and stay later at MP. I didn’t see that text but by the time I did they had retracted the offer and now were saying I needed to meet them at the gate of MP at 11am. Their written English was poor and when I asked why the change in plan, they said it was a group tour and I needed to accommodate the group and either enter at 7am or at 11am. I explained that I had paid for a small group semi-private tour of up to 4 people. But they insisted that I was wrong and said that if that had been the case I would have been charged more. When I looked at their website they appeared to have changed the tour options and details. Then they cancelled my tour the day before the trip telling me if I wanted a private tour I would need to re-book it. Of course, I chose to re-book with another company instead.

      sorry for the inconvenience we will work to improve our services. We are sure that you got confused when booking a shared tour thinking of a private one. and the best thing was to cancel that service so as not to incur a fault. thanks for your understanding.

      The experience that was most impressing for me was traveling to the mountain of Machu Picchu. The vast mountains and the beautiful architecture fill every corner of your eyes like nothing else I’ve ever seen before. This isn’t the only beautiful place to visit in Peru.

      I had a really good experience in Machupicchu with Mi Guia Machupicchu! My guide was Edith Fanel and she did a very professional and pleasant trip. We walked calmly around the Inkas ruins while Edith explained the history of this historic place. In a 3 hours tour, we visited every important place and had plenty of time to take pictures (Edith took my pictures as my phone run out of memory, I'm grateful). The explanations were accompanied by a book full of essential pictures.
      I recommend this service and Edith as a guide. Thank you!

The company was very responsive to all my questions while organizing the travel parts of the trip. Highly recommend this company and this guide.

      By far one of the best tours I have ever taken. My original tour was canceled hours before I was to take off and this one appeared. I booked and they were extremely helpful in getting me an entry ticket. Juan Carlos met up with me at the plaza and we rode up together. He was so informative and proud! I learned so much from the information he gave. He was also the best photographer. I usually never take photos but he told me where to stand and how to pose. I have so many photos to show my family and friends. Grateful for his help. Would recommend to everyone!
