EXCELLENT Based on 1240 reviews Posted on Google Pientje PluisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We joined the tour last minute and are so glad we did! Ronny was a fantastic tour guide who went out of his way to organise so much for us. Because we booked last minute we didn’t have Machu Picchu tickets included, but Ronny was very helpful in organising a way for us to get them in the end. I would recommend the tour to everyone, I made some really good memories!Posted on Google Colby McClaughertyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good experience, sick views, cool time.Posted on Google Sam SydenhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ronny was my tour guide, he was very helpful, funny and helped me learn spanish across the tour. One of the best 4 days of my life !Posted on Google Helene MüllerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the Salkantay trek with Rony and couldn’t be happier! When I had foot trouble, he organized a horse so I could keep going on the second hiking day. On day three, he arranged a private car and lunch for us so we could skip ahead to Aguas Calientes to still get tickets for Machu Picchu, plus sorted our train back. He was incredibly caring and attentive the whole way, and shared great insights on Inca history too. Highly recommend Rony to anyone doing this trek!Posted on Google Mikel EtxaizTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ronni nos hizo disfrutar del Salkantay trek gracias a sus explicaciones y su buen rollo. Tambien se tomo la molestia de traducir lo que decia ya que en el grupo la mayoria hablaba otro idioma. Muy recomendable hacer este tipo de rutas con el!Posted on Google Sonya KanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Roni was fantastic!

Roni is the best guide! Lots of history and logistics were clear. This was an unforgettable experiencePosted on Google SaschaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time doing the Salkantay trek with Machu Picchu Team! Alexis (Nachito!) took the best care of us. During the first night I got food poisoning from food from the night before in Cusco, and he really helped me through in a responsible way with his encouraging words and good care. Alexis is truly passionate about what he does! He told us lots about the nature, different plants and the Inca culture! The group of 10 was wonderful and the vibes were great! Nacho blended in perfectly with lots of humor. The food on the way was wonderful and plenty thanks to our cook Braulito. Everything was very well organised and taken care of during the trip. Would recommend!Posted on Google Lola GUETTATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous revenons du Salkantay Treck, avec le meilleur guide Alexis ( nachitos !!). Ce fut clairement notre plus belle expérience du pérou, tout était incroyable et très bien organisé. Nous sommes tombés sur un groupe de jeunes de notre âge, l’ambiance fut à son comble tout le long du treck ! Alexis a été une source d’informations incroyable sur toute l’histoire des Inca, et tout les endroits dans lesquels nous sommes passés. Il a toujours su nous booster, même dans les moments les plus difficiles et garder une super énergie pendant les 5 jours. Il prenait vraiment soins de nous, particulièrement face à l’altitude, toujours à s’assurer que tout le monde va bien et nous aider en cas de difficultés. Nous revenons pleins de souvenirs en tête, et très content de notre expérience que nous vous recommandons à 100%. Le rapport qualité/ prix est imbattable, go for Machu picchu team !!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
