This was such a great trip from start to finish. Jhordy was so helpful explaining everything to us and helping us get tickets to Waynapicchu mountain. Effy was an incredibly knowledgeable, kind tour guide - even assisting one family member down the stairs whose knee was hurting. By the end he felt like family. I highly recommend this tour!!

Great tour, well organized, our guide Efraim explained everything very well and in detail.
We were glad we decided on a 2-day tour, which meant that visiting Machu Picchu was much more relaxed than a day trip. Lots of interesting spots. Lunch in an excellent restaurant.
Everything was great, we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Jhordy from Fly Cusco helped us book the tour. He was very professional, responsive and caring to work with. He helped us join the 2-day tour from our hotel in Urubamba valley rather than trekking back to Cusco early in the morning. We were picked up from Urubamba Valley in a nice transport (nominal cost) and he also took care of our luggage as well. The tour itself was great. Small group and we had a great tour guide in Ifrahim for the first day. On hindsight, I should also booked my Cusco airport pickup with Jhordy.

Carlos Alberto Sifuentes Sullcaccori was our guide at Machu Pichu and he was a great guide! We are a family of 4 with 2 tweens. He met up with us at our hotel the night before our tour of MachuPichu and gave great advice to tackle altitude sickness. He got the hotel way before time….(early morning 5.30am!) and had all the information ready. We had a great tour of Machupichu, he was well mannered and patient in explaining and answering all our questions. He even hiked with 2 of us to Huayana Pichu…again very patiently as we took many pictures along the way. We highly recommend him if you are looking for a private guide. Thank you Carlos!

Everything went perfectly for our 2-day tour organized by Fly Cusco. Our family group of 7 adults saw the most amazing sights in Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Pisac and of course, Machu Picchu were our favorite parts of the tour. Our tour guide Victor did a great job of making sure we saw all the things we requested; he was so knowledgeable about the history of the area. I was so impressed and grateful to our Machu Picchu guide Jorge, who made the climb to the top of Machu Picchu work for me. He was so helpful and told us all about the place and history during our resting stops along the climb to the top.

What an amazing tour!! It was so well organized from beginning to end. On day 1 we had Eferaim and he was a great story teller and told us very interesting stories about the multiple sites we visited. On day 2 we had Wilma who showed us around Machu Picchu and she was so knowledgeable about the history. We all thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it!

This experience was incredible. The company’s organization of the details was impeccable. We were notified of everything and had all the necessary documents needed to transition from one activity to another. The sites we visited were beautiful, and we had sufficient time to explore.

The highlight were the guides for each part of the trip. In Cusco, Effy (sp) was friendly and provided quite a bit of information about the history of the country and all of the sites we visited. Our guide, Carlos, in Aguas Calientes, was simply INCREDIBLE! He was extremely informative and patient as we explored. He took great pictures of us at different points, and he was a joy to spend the early morning hours with for this tour. Both of these guides were fantastic, but Carlos was honestly one of the best tour guides we have ever had. If you book this tour, ask for these gentleman.

This was such an excellent tour! I highly recommend this operator and that visitors take this tour to visit these areas.

It was virtually seamless and easy. The logistics and transports - from hotel pick-up to tours to meals to trains to hotels to busing - were all taken care of. This can affect your entire trip if you try to do this on your own as a foreigner and don’t get it right, so save yourself the aggravation and book the tour. All we had to think about was enjoying our trip and the price was reasonable for everything you get.

Justino was our guide on day one. He was very personable and knowledgeable, and made the longer road trips in between sites fun.

Velma was our guide on day two at Machu Picchu and was also very knowledgeable and patient. Our group obviously wanted to take pictures at all the sites and she made sure we all had a great experience and memorable photos.

Our guide, Efrain, he is the best guide you can get! He could be the history teacher of Inca, he is very knowledgable. It was a wonderful trip. The trip is a life time experience and views across all different sites. Especially Machupicchu, must see!

We had an excellent experience witnessing the magic of Machu Pichu and more. Our guide, Orlando, went ABOVE and BEYOND making sure that all of us are very comfortable. He made sure we are informed of the itinerary and the details of the tour. He is very knowledgable about the history of Peru; and he integrated and shared his own insights with regards to current Peruvian everyday life. He volunteers to take our photos, and sometimes even carry our bags / drinks. We were also lucky to have a great small tour group which made the experience even better. This is a shoutout to James, Enza, Nikita, Michel, and Manu! We were a great group bonded together in laughter for 48 hours. My partner and I figured, that it could take 1 person in a tour group to ruin the whole experience! This tour is definitely a must. If you have a chance, do request for Orlando to be your Machu Pichu / Sacred Valley guide. Kudos !
