What people are saying about Pisac

Although i'm sure we could have paid less, it was well worth go. Our guide, Herbert Vidal, was very knowledgeable and explained more the more we asked. We didn't worry about anything, just enjoyed the Inca monumentos and ruins. The trips were confortable and the only lateness was on the train to Machupichu. We Will recomend this trip to our friends. The one thing that could be better would be us chosing the time of the train to and from Machupichu

The tour is sensational. The points visited are very good. All organization of the tour is to be congratulated, all very well organized. The agency team is very helpful and gave all the necessary guidance so that we could enjoy everything with tranquility.

The excursion and the guide were just awesome. Very interesting and really a highlight. I disliked the multiple commercial stops and commercial intervention what lead to having missed Chinchero. The site was already closed when arriving.
