A perfect day trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu by train with mauro. This was quite an interesting experiecne, we had a through trip of Machu Picchu and it was quite immersive. Mauro, our guide was genuinely nice and took time to explain so many things in detail. The trip in the citadel included visit to tll prime sites which gave us a detailed understanding to the traditions and history. It was a good value for money.

Mauro was an incredible guide - informative, clear, and professional. The logistics were easy to follow and efficient. Overall, a fantastic experience - I will be booking subsequent visits to Macchu picchu with him / this company.

I can highly recommend Happy Gringo Tours and my tour guide Mauro was really great. Happy Gringo Tours are very responsible and really did their best to look after my needs. Mauro is a very likeable excellent guy and great guide. His in depth knowledge of the history, best viewing spots, photographic spots and ability to take good photos made my visit so enjoyable. These are the most impressive mountains I have ever seen in my life and I have been to quite a few!! Definitely the trip of a lifetime. Don’t miss out on Machu Picchu and Cusco.
