Machupicchu! Tour con la mejor Agencia! El tour fue único, me encanta que nos dan recomendaciones sobre horarios, cuando es la mejor hora de ingreso, horas menos concurridas, mejores ángulos para las fotos, etc. La explicación del guía 10/10, respondió todas nuestras dudas y tiene una gran pasión por la historia del lugar la cuál transmite. La logística excelente, desde que llegamos a Cusco nos entregaron todos los ingresos de todos los tours y no hubo absolutamente ningún retraso. La puntualidad fue increíble.
