Tour of a lifetime! Isao was the best guide I have ever had. It has been my lifelong dream to visit Machu Picchu, but I wanted to do it special. Isao saw to it that it was special, and safe. We learned a lot historically along the way. I also have knee injury from a very old running injury, and Isao saw to it, that we took a steady pace without making me feel bad. Best tour ever! I highly recommend!!

Perfect trip with Saul This trip couldn’t have been any better. Our tour guide Saul made it perfect. Peru Hikers is the best possible company you can book with, communication was great, they speak perfect English and are extremely knowledgeable of not just Machu Piccu but the entire region. They truly care that you have a great experience and will go out of their way to achieve that.

Is was an incredible tour guide! He made my experience unique, and I would love to do it all again. He is knowledgeable, punctual, and adaptable. He constantly adapting the tour to your requests. It felt really easy to do such a cross-country tour. In addition to being a great photographer, I had some fantastic pictures. Overall, I'm very happy; you can not go wrong with choosing his company.

Our guide for 3 days was Isao. He was amazing - extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and fun. Isao was a great guide for our family trip. We toured the Sacred Valley with him, and he shared many personal stories and history of the area with us. He also led our 1 day hike on the Inka Trail to Machu Picchu to the Sun Gate, and along circuit 1. We then explored circuit 3 with him the following day. He was energetic and always willing to answer our many, and repeated questions. And he's an amazing photographer! He went above and beyond. Also, the travel logistics organized by Peru Hikers were seamless. they made our reservations for hotels, train and access to the sites. Worked out flawlessly

Isao is an amazing guide. He was really good with communication, sent instructions the day before and called to introduce himself as well. He shared history of Incas with us through Machu Picchu, and does really well with photography. He’s personable, friendly, and made the visit much more enjoyable with him as our guide. I’d recommend asking for him directly!

Isao was an amazing guide. We researched a lot about Machu Picchu but Isoa taught us so much about the history and culture we were amazed. He also made it fun and enjoyable for our whole family. He’s also fantastic at taking photographs. He knew more about good iPhone pictures than we did!

We had a great time at Machu Pichu. Our guide Isao was wonderful, he made sure we paused and enjoy the views, he took great pictures for us and also gave us the best explanations about the history behind this wonder. Also very the entire trip was very well schedule, every leg of our trip fell well scheduled and managed. We definite recommend Peru Hikers and Isao as a guide in Machu Pichu.
