Liz was our guide for both our trip from Cusco to the Sacred Valley and also Machu Picchu. On our trip to Ollantaytambo, Liz and Juan Carlos (our driver) took us to Chinchero and stopped to see a textile demonstration, had lunch and drank chicha. We also made stops at Maras and Moray. Liz and Juan Carlos were both very friendly and informative. I would recommend them for this trip as we would have missed a lot of things otherwise. Liz also took us on two circuits of Machu Picchu. It was nice to have her walk us through the site as we didn't have to worry about any logistics. We could just relax and enjoy it &while she explained the highlights and answered our many questions.
We did the Lares Trek with Sam Travel. It was very well organized and the staff communicated well with us, both before leaving our country and when we arrived. All the staff in the trek were great and so hard working. The food was plentiful (more than we could eat), had lots of fresh vegetables and they accomodated dietary needs of our group. Our guide, Juan Carlos, was amazing. He was professional, respectful to the team and travellers, knowledgeable and personable. He was great to hang out with for four days and we learned so much from him - history, language, culture, flora and fauna. We were impressed with his genuine and respectful interactions with the local communities we visited. Our two kids also loved Juan Carlos and were sad to say goodbye to him. We were surprised and incredible grateful when Sam Travel somehow acquired circuit 2 tickets for Macchu Picchu on our behalf, and we were able to see more of the site than we had expected. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!
En nuestro último día en Cusco, hicimos el city tour con 69 Explorer, nuestro guía Jhony fue muy informativo y nos dio la mejor información sobre la ciudad de Cusco y Sacsayhuaman.
Take the 7-color mountain tour with 69 explorers, the whole organization was spectacular, from start to finish. Our guide Ray, he was very patient with the group, helped us all be together and we could get to the top. The views are spectacular and everything was worth it.
Visiting Machu Picchu with 69 Explorer Perú was the best thing we did, everything was perfect and our guide was super helpfull.
We were very lucky to have found 69 Explorer Peru, they got us tickets at the last minute to do the 2-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. The whole organization was great and our guide Josep did a great job.

Pasamos dos días bajo la experta atención de Ray, nuestro guía turístico. Ray nos acompañó a todos los sitios históricos del Valle Sagrado y luego a Machu Picchu. Ray fue muy amable con nosotros y nos explicó nuestros horarios a diario, ya que algunas mañanas madrugaban mucho, así que sabíamos en cada paso del camino dónde encontrarnos y a qué hora. Su vasto conocimiento sobre todos los sitios que visitamos fue increíble; es un maestro en su oficio. Nos animó a hacer preguntas, las cuales respondimos con gran acierto. Al final de nuestro tour, sentimos que se había convertido en un amigo, más que solo en un guía. ¡Recomendamos ampliamente su experiencia y conocimiento sobre todo lo relacionado con los incas! 12 de 10 para Ray. 😊
