Rajat B2024-04-22Best curated tour of Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley - at an extremely competitive price. Elizabeth at Adventure Cusco curated a beautiful trip of Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu for us. The team ant Adventure Cusco arranged the best travel options and tour guides, for an extremely competitive price. I would highly recommend Adventure Cusco. Their service providers are extremely helpful, reliant and accommodating of all needs. We had the best time at Machu Picchu, all because of a private tour arranged by the team. Their tour guide Edwin at Machu Picchu is extremely knowledgeable, funny and patient. He knows the best spots for Instagram and literally takes the best pictures. The ATV tour at Sacred Valley was organised so well. I would do the entire trip again because it was organised so well and was so much fun. Go with these guys. I can vouch for them. I have spoken to some 7-8 friends who have visited Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley. None of them were able to do it in such an affordable price, especially with high quality travel options and tour guides.Verified
Claudia B2024-04-21Machu Picchu, Valle Sagrado VIP We had an amazing experience with Adventure Cusco. They were in charge of our entire itinerary from airport transfers to each tour. They adjust to perfection to our needs and interest and exceed our expectations. We visit Machu Picchu by the Vistadome Observatory train and the views were breathtaking. Our tour guide Alex was just perfect. He knew the site to perfection and it seems we had Machu Picchu to ourselves. On top of that he took the most beautiful pictures and knows the best spots for the best pictures. I can’t recommend this company enough. We just relaxed and enjoyed while Elizabeth was in charge of each detail. Make sure to contact them if you are planning your trip to Cusco Peru.Verified
