Machu Picchu's visit My trip to Machu Picchu was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! Everything was perfectly organized and exceeded my expectations. The views were simply breathtaking — seeing Machu Picchu in person is truly something unforgettable. Our guide Yeni was excellent: very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more special by sharing interesting information and giving us enough time to enjoy every moment without feeling rushed. The timing of the whole tour was great and allowed us to fully appreciate the place and take in the incredible atmosphere. Overall, an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Peru. Thank you for making this trip so memorable!

Amazing Machu Picchu Experience My trip was last minute and unplanned, but Illa Kuntur Travel put everything together for me perfectly. They arranged hard-to-get tickets and delivered everything to me personally in Cuzco. The train ride was amazing and Machu Picchu was incredible. Especially because my tour guide Miguel was so helpful, knowledgeable, and his English was perfect.

Phenomenal experience at Machu Picchu The experience visiting Machu Picchu was phenomenal! Me and my fiancé did the full day tour and were amazed by how well we were accommodated and how much time we had to take in the place! The admission fee was very fair priced for the experience.

Excelente servicio! Sin duda no me equivoqué de elegir esta agencia, estuve una semana en Cusco con mi familia y me regreso feliz y con ganas de regresar. Son un equipo de personas profesionales en lo que hacen, puntuales, amables y sobre todo te ayudan en cualquier momento, siempre atentos. Si volvería a Cusco no dudaría en volver a contratarlos. Conozco a Ricardo hace 3 años, cuando envié a mi mamá y hermanas a conocer Cusco, una ciudad mágica y llena de historia, mi hermana tuvo dificultades en un tours (La Montaña de Colores), cayó de emergencia por el mal de altura, la llevaron a un hospital y Ricardo (trabajador de esta agencia de tours), jamás la abandonó, la acompañó, mostró empatía; para nosotros fue un gesto bonito que marcó totalmente nuestra perspectiva. En lo personal recomiendo mucho esta agencia a mis amigos y a todos en general si desean visitar Cusco y tener una experiencia inolvidable.

Discovery of Inca culture Since from our initial communication we received a positive attitude and professional approach from Ricardo through offering us concrete options to choose. Entire tour programme offered was well coordinated in terms of timing, attention and content despite our limited time for coordination. Even we succeeded to visit Machu Picchu as a unique experience. Quality of service and professionalism of Illa Kuntur as agency is highly recommended. Desde nuestra primera comunicación, Ricardo nos brindó una actitud positiva y un trato profesional, ofreciéndonos opciones concretas. El programa del tour estuvo perfectamente coordinado en cuanto a horarios, atención y contenido, a pesar de nuestro tiempo limitado. Incluso logramos visitar Machu Picchu, una experiencia única. Recomendamos ampliamente la calidad del servicio y la profesionalidad de Illa Kuntur como agencia.
