Best experience - Isao was the best leader. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and he took the best pictures of our group. He also sent us to the best restaurant, right on the river.

Peru Hikers – Amazing Experience and Photos! - We had a great experience hiking to Machu Picchu with Peru Hikers. The team was friendly, helpful, and made the whole trip enjoyable and stress-free. One of the best parts was having a photographer with us. He took incredible photos throughout the hike — from the beautiful mountain views to our special moments at Machu Picchu. The pictures came out amazing and are a perfect way to remember the trip. If you're planning to visit Machu Picchu, I highly recommend Peru Hikers. The hike was beautiful, and the photos made it even more unforgettable!

Exceptional experience - Everything was well Organised and effortless. Unlike any other guides Isao speaks great English and has answers to all our questions. If you’re looking for great content for social media he is the guy. He took loads of great pictures and videos. Needless to say the site is absolutely magical and worth all the money. 100% recommended.

Isao the greatest tour guide ever! - Isao was an excellent guide who made sure that we had the most high quality experience as possible. He met us from the bus and helped us see extra things such as Humming birds and helped my 70 year old dad up and down the strenuous parts. One of the most informative guides I've ever met bro deserves a pay rise

Incredible adventure with Isao - We had an incredible experience with our guide Isao. Isao thought of everything and had backup options for us if we decided not to make it to Machu Picchu due to bad weather. Despite the poor weather, we had an amazing day at Machu Picchu and learned a lot about the site and the Incans. Isao became not just our guide, but our friend. I highly recommend Peru Hikers!
