Incredible experience! - Although, our original itinerary was changed, we ended up with an amazing visit to Machu Picchu with the Peru Hiker’s team. The communication was excellent prior to the trip, and Daniel was very accommodating with necessary last minute visit changes. We had an incredible time during our Machu Picchu visit and were ushered through the site, ticketing lines, and the somewhat confusing transportation system by JD and Nino. Thank you to Peru Hikers team for their hospitality during our visit! 🇱🇷❤️ 🇵🇪

Ridiculously awesome experience! - This guided tour was amazing. Isao, our guide, was a wealth of knowledge about the history of the ruins, as well as a spectacular photographer, and a hilarious guy. Would very highly recommend this tour through Peru Hikers, especially because they specialize in small groups. An amazing bucket list tour!

An excellent tour guide - Our tour guide Isao was magnificent and made this day extra special. The attention to detail, patience and personal touch far exceeded our expectations.
The information was thorough, clear and he is an enthusiastic speaker. This trip to Machu Pichu was that much memorable because of Isao and his amazing work ethic. A trip both my mom and I will cherish.
