Ronnie's the best

Ronnie was the best tour guide. He was very communicative and made sure we got on all of our buses and trains. He was an amazing tour guide in Machu Picchu and answered all of our questions. We didn't have to worry about anything.

Amazing! 🤩

Our guide, Frank the tank was great! From the beginning to the end was very informative and knowledgeable. The food was delicious!! Our cook and helpers were always professional and made our experience more enjoyable. I would 100% recommend you do any of the tour this company has available, we weren’t aware that they had other excursions like rainbow mountain and Laguna Humantay, or we would have booked with them as well.

Great experience, tiring journey, lots to see

Valuable journey from Cusco through the Sacred Valley and up to Machu Pichu. It was a long and tiring couple of days. First day was ~10 hours between the van, stops, excursions, and train ride up to Aguas Calientes. From there a nice hike up to the hotel. Dinner was included and great. The hotel was wonderful for such a small town. The next day, up at 0500 and in the bus by 7. 3 hours up and back to Machu Pichu and then a few hours to shop and eat and relax. Then the long day continues with 2 hour train to another 2.5 hour van back to Cusco. All in all, a wonderful experience and worth the money. It was a journey though. Luis was our guide and did a wonderful job with logistics, information, and he made the overall experience with Alpaca Expeditions was very good.
