Being able to explore every archaeological site and so on with a sizable group of people was an amazing experience. Although they have experience, I emphasise their commitment and availability for any issue that may come up. Congratulations to every employee we encountered.

Highly recommend - This was a bucket list experience & the entire team ensured it was unforgettable going above and beyond! We booked very last minute which meant we couldn’t get the best tickets but once we arrived, Caesar worked his magic and got us upgraded with Circuit 2 tickets!! Danny was our tour guide & he was fantastic very informative and got us all the best shots. Once the tour was finished the guys took us to a restraunt for lunch it was a great way to end the best day. Thanks again to the team highly recommended!!

Outstanding logistics, thoughtfulness. - Outstanding logistics, thoughtfulness, and organisation. They made all of the arrangements for my trips to Machu Pichu, the city of Cusco, and the Sacred Valley. Airport transfers, train tickets to Machu Pichu town, and admission to sights and archaeological sites were all handled. Consistently on time, and using WhatsApp to track our stay and routes. Kevin and the staff as a whole are excellent. They take their business very seriously. to have faith in. They were the reason this journey to these amazing locations was ideal.

There are several sites to explore in Peru. - There are several sites to explore in Peru, which is unquestionably a fascinating place. For this reason, a lot of locations come to mind when you're creating your adventure itinerary, and the hardest part is nearly always finding the time to finish the trip. This website was quite helpful in organizing my schedule and the attractions I wanted to see, therefore I heartily suggest it. He was always alert, making recommendations about locations, trekking schedules, lodging options, and, in other words, always monitoring my progress. Regarding my actions and destination, I felt secure and directed. I am deeply grateful for you all. I am really appreciative, and I enjoyed my holiday to the most.

Trust Cosmo Expeditions! This was a wonderful experience! - I had a wonderful time visiting Machu Picchu on this tour. The experience itself was incredible and truly life-changing, and everything came together very well on the day of the tour. There were some complications leading up to that day, and it was necessary for me to travel to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town), one day before my scheduled visit to the ruins, to acquire a next-day ticket for the ruins, and to spend the night in that town, but the Cosmo Expeditions team, and in particular Dennis, completely facilitated that process. Furthermore, by securing my entry in this way, I was able to get the ticket for Circuit 2, which is the one I wanted, and the photos taken by the guide are spectacular. Machu Picchu town is absolutely adorable and has several restaurants and a lovely artisan market. On the day of the tour, the team arrived a little later than expected, but everything was handled with care and professionalism once we got going. Communication in the days leading up to the tour could have been a bit clearer, but overall, I’m very satisfied and grateful for the experience. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the personalized care. I highly recommend the tour with this company, and thank you, Cosmo Expeditions!

Machu Picchu Trip July 25th, 2025 - Dennis from Cosmo Expeditions was able to help us arranged our entire visit to Machu Picchu. We had an issue that due to being high season and July 28th weekend (Peru Independence), every thing was sold out. He helped us get tickets to the best circuit (circuit 2) into Machu Picchu and was able to setup the train tickets, bus rides since we had to exchange our train tickets due to Machu Picchu being sold out on the specific date that we wanted to go. Once in there, our tour guide by the name of Julio Cesar was able to tell us many stories and chat about the history of the Inca empire and also take amazing pictures. We liked him so much that took him out for lunch afterwords. I highly recommend Cosmo Expeditions and Dennis in particular.
