Unforgettable Experience at Machu Picchu with Our Guide David - Our visit to Machu Picchu was truly unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide, David. His passion for what he does was evident from the very beginning. He explained everything with such clarity, patience, and enthusiasm, making the history and significance of the site come alive for us. What made the experience even more special was the birdwatching session we had outside the main site. David’s deep knowledge and ability to identify birds just by their sounds was impressive. He helped us spot several species we would have otherwise missed, and his excitement was contagious. We felt truly immersed in both the cultural and natural beauty of the area, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, David, for making our trip so memorable!

Fantastic Tour. Highly Recommend - At the time of researching our trip we were unsure of the transport links and how to reach MP. Peruvian Culture Tours made it all so seamless. I highly recommend David and the team, together they ensured that we had the best experience. David always goes the extra mile. We have had an unforgettable trip. A private tour allows you to enjoy the tour at your own pace.

Amazing tour with an excellent guide! - We did the 2nights, one day tour to Machu Picchu with David that included one day walking on the Inca Trail, and we chose to do bird watching on the way. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and David made a lot of effort to take care of us and to find birds for us. He had great knowledge of birds, plants and the Inca sites. He was very personable and we really enjoyed our time with him and the tour was amazing, for sure the best I have ever done! He also was great at changing our train tickets when we needed to get back earlier.

Best trip of my life. - The trip to Machu Picchu was an incredible experience. Our nice tour guide, David, made the trip exceptional by telling us about some of Peru's wonderful history and culture. The entire trip from picking us up at the airport on the first day, hotel reservations, trip to the Sacred Valley, trip to Machu Picchu, until the last day of the trip was very organized. Thank you Peruvian Culture Tours for making this trip unforgettable and exceptional.

WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR IN MACHU PICHU - Hello, I wanted to say that my trip to Machu Picchu with David was excellent from the first day. My partner and I came from Argentina, so we booked the entire service months in advance to be sure we had access to this wonder and everything else, like transportation, hotel, etc. It all came out 10 points!! In everything related to this excursion and the others (according to the Package) He accompanies you, explains, takes the time to discuss any doubt or topic you want to go deeper into. Personally, this is the second time I have traveled with Him and I would do it again, just like my friends are doing. Today, David is no longer a guide for me... but a friend in Cuzco who is committed to making sure that one enjoys and feels the energy of the mountains. At the end of this whole adventure, we know that we will repeat it all with friends and family, because we always have to return to Cuzco.

Best Machu Picchu experience, Cusco trip - Peruvian Culture Tours (David) was amazing. We were a group of 17 people ranging from kids to seniors. We did the 6 day/7 night Cusco Tour. From day 1 picking up at the airport was very swift and organized. Throughout our trip we took multiple buses, trains, and stayed at other hotels. Every tour and transportation was taken care of. We did not have to worry about anything. David has a lot of knowledge on the history behind every site we visited. He explained everything very thoroughly. In our group was Spanish and English only speaking individuals and he was able to accommodate both sides. David speaks both English and Spanish very well but in order to accommodate our group he brought on board another tour guide (Percy) that helped. (We were very thankful for that). We would recommend to book atleast a few months in advance so they can help with the best tickets for Machu Picchu, train and hotel accommodations. We strongly recommend doing the Machu Picchu trip in 2 days. Other companies squeeze everything in 1 day but that is a very long day and a lot of traveling. We spent 1 night in Aguas Calientes and were well rested to explore Machu Picchu the following day. We would highly recommend Peruvian Culture Tours to anyone wanting to visit Cusco and have a great experience.

2 days 1 night in Aguas Calientes Machu Picchu tour - 2 days and 1 night in Aguas Calientes Machu Picchu tour: We booked this tour short notice about a month or so ago and it was absolutely amazing. David’s service and guidance was very good and all was sorted for us. We managed to get circuit 2 which is the best route to explore Machu Picchu. We were recommended brilliant restaurants and had an amazing time. If you are looking to book to complete Machu Picchu and see this amazing wonder of the world, I would highly recommend David and Peruvian culture tours. They offer a range of tours whether you are limited on time or want to see more of the sacred valley and surrounding area they can provide this. From Cusco to Aguas Calientes to Machu Pichuu it has been an amazing tour with door to door service. Thank you so much David and the team I can’t thank you enough. I highly recommend!

Trip of a Lifetime!! - I genuinely couldn’t recommend David, and Peruvian culture tours enough! We spent a month in Peru, and our time with David was undoubtedly the highlight. David is not only extremely kind, patient, and helpful, but also incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, and throughout the few days we learned so much about the rich history and folklore of the Peruvian landscape and people. Not only this, but everywhere we went David was able to point out to us local flora and fauna, that we definitely would never have seen on our own! As well as this, David always found us the best local restaurants (again that we would never have found!) and was extremely accommodating and invaluable in helping us to communicate with anyone we met. At Machu Picchu we learned so much about site, and the people who lived there, and experiencing the magic of Machu Picchu with David as our guide made the experience a million times better, and more special! I would advise anyone booking a trip to Peru to book for at least one tour with David (if not more!!), and I can promise you that you won’t regret it! Thank you so much to David, and Peruvian culture tours for making our experience absolutely unforgettable! Family for life!!

Amazing immersing experience in Peruvian Culture and Wildlife. - Our trek with Peruvian Culture tours was unforgettable. Our guide David contributed hugely to how much we enjoyed our adventure. It was a very beautiful hike, and David had many Peruvian folklore stories to regale us with, and answered every question we had about the land and nature around us. Everything went extremely smoothly, and it was overall a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this tour company.
