We had a great trip to Machu Picchu booked with Cusco Unique Experience. It was a private tour, which I highly recommend for this important site. Karina and Brian worked with us to plan the perfect trip for us. They are flexible and will plan the trip that you want. Prior to the trip they sent the itinerary so we knew what we were going to do. We were met at the airport, even though out flight was very late, and driven to our hotel in the sacred valley that used to be a hacienda. Our guide for the sacred valley and Cusco was Rina, and we felt we saw and learned so much about the Incas. Our guide for Machu Picchu was Alex. He met with us the night before we were going to Machu to tell us what to bring, what not to bring, and what to expect. He met us at our hotel on Machu Picchu morning to walk to the bus with us. He explained so much about the Incas and Machu Pichu. He helped us with our photos and suggested good places to take photos. It was so great to have a private tour. We spent two more days touring with Rina ending in Cusco. We were offered one more activity to end our tour and we chose a cooking class. That was a riot because the chef spoke Spanish but the restaurant provided a someone to translate for us. The food was delicious. Our driver picked us up at 4:30AM for our vert early flight to Santiago, Chile. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. We loved Peru and we were totally satisfied with Cusco Unique Experience.

Valentin conducted a Zoom tour of Cusco for our group in Chicago. Simply using an i-phone (remarkably good images), he was able to tell us about the history and culture of Cusco.

My husband and I returned shortly from our trip to Cusco and were well taken care of. Luis our point person reminded us daily about our itinerary and touched base with us after our tours ended. Every day we had different tour guides, but they were all very patient, knowledgeable and polite (Fabricio to Sacred Valley, Ceasar to Maras and Moray and Eder to Machu Picchu). I thought the price was amazing considering that it covered transportation and lodging. If purchased separately we'd end up spending slightly more. The hotel in Cusco was nice and a short walk to the town center. The hotel in Aguas Caliente was very nice but our room was the size of a closet! Overall, we enjoyed our time. Luis left us with a very thoughtful gift before we departed (a doll I was looking for). I definitely recommend Andean View Travel especially for those who want a thoroughly planned trip. This package did not leave much room for self exploration, perhaps you can add a day or two before or after if that's what you'd like.

We used View Peru to book a private Inca trail camping trip. Unfortunately we could not make it because of COVID-19. However, they were really helpful and responsive in giving us back our deposit unlike a lot of big companies who are still keeping us hanging. They were very professional through out the process of both booking and refunding. We were really excited to do this trip with them. Whenever, we are able to make this Peru trip, we will definitely use them.

Incredible experience!!! Our family of 2 out-of-shape parents and 2 teenage kids went to Peru for Spring Break. We booked a 2-day tour of the Sacred Valley, Pisac, Ollyantaytambo, Machu Picchu, and Huayna Picchu. Kevin met us the night before at our hotel, exactly on time. He carefully walked us through all the events of the trip - their timing, the tickets (he’d already purchased all of it), the items we’d need (passports & a backpack with a change of clothes, some snacks, camera, drinks). We met the following morning & had a HUGE minivan and driver just for our family!! We took a wonderful drive to Pisac, stopping at a llama, alpaca, and vicuña preserve, some beautiful photo stops, and then Pisac. The whole time we got a comprehensive overview of the region & it’s history. We climbed Pisac and took a bunch of photos. Kevin was super engaging with our teenagers, which was so nice! We further had lunch in Pisac and walked through their incredible market (hint!! Get your souvenirs here!). We continued on to Ollyantaytambo and our kids climbed those ruins with Kevin while we chilled down below. He was so darn flexible about what we did and where we went, it was amazing! We took the train to Machu Picchu - note, you can upgrade to the VistaDome train. Your guide would take a separate train if you do this, which scared us, but he informed us we’d be met on the other end by a representative, and sure enough a young lady had a sign with our names at the other end. It’s a tiny train station, you cannot get lost! The entry/exit points are about 10 feet wide and the waiting rooms for the trains only hold about 15-30 people! The city is in the jungle, the train takes about 90 minutes to get there & runs along a river all the way there. You’ll get a little snack & drink on the train & a small cultural presentation that was a lot of fun (not going to ruin it but it’ll make you laugh!) The hotel in Machu Picchu initially worried us as the city is clearly not well off and I’m used to the Ritz, but it was clean, very quiet, and very safe! There are no cars in Machu Picchu Pueblo, there’s a river that runs through town just outside the train station and maybe 3 streets about 1/4 mile long each. Most hotels are on the same street, right on the river, and another parallel street behind the hotels is where all the restaurants are. It is on a long slope, think of a San Francisco street but in the middle of the jungle. We wandered around for the evening, had our dinner, and felt quite safe. The next morning Kevin met us at 7am and we lined up for the buses up the mountain. We were in Machu Picchu by about 8:30am. We walked around the site with Kevin for some time before we headed to the check in for Huayna Picchu. Sole important thoughts here - firstly, I had in my mind we’d climb Huayna Picchu first but Kevin had booked our tickets to do Machu Picchu first. LISTEN TO HIM AND DO MACHU PICCHU FIRST!!! Yes there was fog at Machu Picchu initially, but we were patient and just as Kevin predicted, all the fog lifted while we were there and we got amazing pictures. We took a fog one just for fun and one about 7 minutes later that you’ll see below - that’s how quickly the weather changes! Climbing Huayna Picchu in the second group is smart because you are passing people as they’re coming down the mountain and once they clear you have the whole mountain to yourselves. It was incredible!! It isn’t for the faint hearted - my husband had to quit about 30% of the way up the mountain, and I had to take breaks all the time, but Kevin was so amazingly encouraging and patient we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Tip: take 2L of water per person. We ran out of water coming down and were parched at the end! A few thoughts about the climb - when you begin the trek you actually have to climb DOWN first. You must get from Machu Picchu to the next mountain over, so you go down into the valley to cross over to the other mountain. Just remember when you’re aching and tired at the end of your trek, you have to climb back up out of the valley to leave....it’s a bit of torture :) When you near the summit you’ll arrive at some terraces. Stop here & just enjoy for 10 minutes, because next you climb the “stairs of death” - steep, small depth stairs to get to the elevation check point. These stairs are no joke in how scary they are if you actually stop & turn and look while you’re on the stairs...essentially you can drop right into the valley from them in you slip. My 13 year-old daughter had a bit of a panic attack here, but Kevin stayed right with her and soothes her and encouraged her up those steps!! So, after this you’ll hit the elevation check point where you can sit & chill a while. Take some photos, etc. Climb up further to the very summit where there’s only room for 3-4 people to take a photo on a rock with Machu Picchu behind you, and then you start your descent. Here’s where our hero guide again cane to the rescue - there’s a cave you have to maneuver coming down the mountain. It is VERY tight & for a claustrophobic person, I found it terrifying. Kevin coached me through it, and even scrambled down into the cave with me to stop me from hitting my head as I panicked & tried to stand up! After you’re out of the cave, you’re pretty much following the same path down as you took up, so not much more to say here other than Kevin is so conscientious about your safety that he warned us and even jumped ahead of the kids in steep sections to point to the rocks they needed to walk on for the most stable descent. Now folks, this is a huge mountain for our family, we’ve never experienced ANYTHING like this before. We felt in such capable hands. It took us 3 hours and 7 minutes from start to finish. Kevin has made a round trip of the entire mountain in under 40 minutes, so we could only imagine how he must have felt with slow people in tow, but he was positive the entire time!! On the return from the region, Kevin’s train was about an hour ahead of ours because we again chose the VistaDome train, so we did a little shopping & picked up our backpacks we’d stored at the hotel while we climbed. He met us back in Ollantaytambo and back we went to Cusco! This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us. We were nervous storing bags in Cusco (when we left for Machu Picchu), and Machu Picchu while we climbed, but Kevin and our driver made it all so darn easy, safe, and enjoyable! Kevin even made sure to get Machu Picchu stamps in our passports, which we’d have never thought to do. He made sure we kept change for the bathrooms, and that we had emergency electrolytes in case of dehydration. He really thinks of everything! Couldn’t be happier with our experience, our children have memories that they’ll cherish their whole lives because of Kevin!

Because of Covid 19 we needed to cancel our trip. I contacted Fredi about getting a refund but was unsure whether MLA would send us back our payments or if they would even survive what must have been many cancelled tours. I was pleasantly surprised when Fredi refunded our money. I imagine not all tour groups have done that for their customers. I very much recommend MLA and I definitely will be re-booking a trip with them in the future.
