About this trip
Seven days around Cusco with a private guide, built around two of Peru's biggest draws: the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu itself. Because it's a private package, the pace and order of days can be shaped around what you actually want to see.
You'll spend time getting into Inca history and the region's culture at the main sites before heading to Machu Picchu, then round things off with a hike out to the Mountain of Seven Colours for a different kind of scenery entirely.
This suits people who want a guided but flexible trip — good for families or anyone who'd rather not follow a fixed group schedule.
What you'll do
- Explore the Sacred Valley's key historical sites
- Visit Machu Picchu with an entrance ticket on the classic route
- Private guiding throughout, with room to adjust the itinerary
- Hike to the Mountain of Seven Colours near Cusco
- Time in Cusco itself taking in Inca history and culture
- Machu Picchu tickets are booked for Circuit 2 where possible, but if that's unavailable you'll be offered Circuit 1 or 3 instead
- This is a private trip, so timings and stops can be tailored to your preferences
Worth it if you get David or Raul as your guide and accept early starts and rushed pacing. Think twice if organisation and staff consistency matter—ticketing errors and unreliable coordinators have derailed trips.
- Guide quality makes or breaks it; David and Raul consistently deliver knowledge, humour, and genuine engagement.
- Poor coordination and communication from staff; wrong Machu Picchu ticket dates issued, inconsistent pick-up times, unprofessional coordinator Bernardo.
- Some guides rush through sites, skip sections, and seem more interested in finishing early than explaining context.
- Food and accommodation quality exceed expectations; driver Fernando was professional and safe throughout.
