What people love about Active Tours in Machu Picchu
- Inca Magic
We had an amazing time during our tour in Peru. It was well-organized, and it was great not to worry about our transportation arrangements going to different sites. The hotels were also ideally located within Cusco and Miraflores so it was a walking distance to restaurants. During our trip, we were mostly with Spanish-speaking visitors but the guides were able to smoothly transition to English translation. Also when shopping, it's recommended to look around Cusco markets first so you can compare prices to other shops in Sacred Valley trips. Lima Tours also provide an emergency contact number for any questions or issues, and they confirm pickup times daily with the hotel, so there is constant communication about the tour itinerary. Overall, it was a great trip and will be using Lima Tours if we visit Peru again.
- Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu 4D/3N
The guide knew a lot of things, was speaking english very well and the trip was highly organized. Each day was great. We practice physical activities and also enjoy time outdoors. It’s fine for any age and for sure the best way to go to Machu Picchu. Another good point was the quantity of food provided.
Wow! What a trip. Eddie (Edison Romero) and JC (Jeiko Cuenco) were entertaining, well informed and very engaged with the whole tour. They seemed invested in our success and they really bonded with the group. Food was unreal! The chefs outdid themselves in their meals. Also accommodating for people with dietary restrictions. I never went hungry! The trek itself was breathtaking (sometimes literally). The views were stunning and the trails were great. Felt like something out of a movie. Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat!
