Carlos and his team were very quick and efficient on this trip. I did this tour to machu Picchu in a day from Cusco which was sufficient to see the site. The guide explained every bit in detail. The transport was ontime and was comfortable and the train ride specially was fantastic.
Certainly it was trip of a lifetime. Machu Picchu is an amazing place and the culture is well preserved. It has a different vibe altogether. My guide, Carlos was very nice and explained many things about the place, people and culture. I am very thankful to him and Treks in Cusco company for such an unforgettable trip.
I can totally recommend this tour company. They were just amazing. The guide service was very nice and the guide was very informative and helpful. Carlos from Treks in Cisco went above and beyond to help me. I can very much recommend them.
Excellent day trip option from Cusco. It was time saving and provided a good value for money. Carlos is a very good guide and knows a lot about the place and history. Although we did this in a day, we never felt rushed or tiring. Certainly a good option.
