    Francisco was a fabulous tour guide! He was especially knowledgeable and passionate about the Incan culture. He gave an amazing tour and the hike was stunning.

    We loved the hike and visiting Machu Picchu, but the very best part was our fabulous guide, Francisco. He set a pace my wife and I could handle at 56 and 58 years of age, while keeping our four kids (16 - 25) interested by his incredible knowledge, story telling and enthusiasm for Peruvian history and culture.

    I did this tour with my husband and 4 kids aged 15-25. Francisco was our guide and he was amazing. On the hiking portion he set a pace that was comfortable for my husband and me and regaled my kids with stories about the mountains, the Incans, and his family’s life in the Andes while we caught up. There was no question he couldn’t answer. In Machu Picchu he gave such detailed information about the civilization and he was so passionate that we didn’t want it to end. He also took amazing photos for us. We have traveled around the world and he was our favorite tour guide!
