“Our guides were literally the best! We couldn’t have asked for better! The only thing we would recommend to improve on. My husband and I train tickets were not seats next to eachother and the whole group was on different trains on the ride back. The bag drop off and transportation back to our hotels process could improve. There was a lot of waiting around and extra steps that seems could be done more streamlined and organized especially when participants are tired and ready to go back to their hotels. Thank you!!”

El chofer tenía mucha prisa por llegar a destino y lo justo hizo las paradas obligatorias, muy breves. En el trayecto Chivay Arequipa, el guía muy bien, pero el autobús era muy antiguo, no tenía cinturones de seguridad operativos. No volvería a reservar con esta agencia.”

“The Viagen agents were very supportive and punctual. They texted you to update status of the tour and the plan before the trip and standby for inquiries. In Sacred Valley, i was put in a main Spanish speaking group but Franco the guide translated everything in Eng, only to me. Bus is comfortable- small leg rooms but manageable. Instruction are clear where to go next. For MachuPiccu, I got a private tour (as I book only one month in advance). I decided to start at6am and I got MachuPiccu view without other tourists!”

Everything was perfectly organised (tickets sorted, timings seamless), meaning whole day felt completely stress-free. The buffet lunch in Urubamba was more than we expected, with loads of choice for different dietary needs. The PeruRail journey was genuinely one of the best train experiences ever. On Day 2, we met Carlos (A. Sullcaccori Sifyentes), and from the first moment his expertise and kindness really stood out. He carefully guided us up to Circuit 1 at Machu Picchu at a comfortable…”
