My journey through Cusco was a delightful blend of history and adventure, especially while exploring the ancient sites of Machu Picchu. I loved the private tour aspect, which allowed me to soak in the details at my own pace and engage deeply with the local culture. The meals were a culinary highlight, particularly a delicious traditional Peruvian dinner that left me craving more. One small hiccup was the initial confusion about the meeting point, but the guides were quick to help me navigate that. Overall, it was a rewarding experience packed with Inca treasures that I won’t soon forget.

Exploring the treasures of Machu Picchu was an adventure we’ll never forget, especially with the private touch that made each moment feel special. While the stunning scenery and rich history were a highlight, we did find a couple of the planned activities a bit rushed, which left us wanting more time to soak it all in.
