Excellent, safe, and fun experience! Everything from start to finish was perfect! The communication between Diego/the company and I was seamless. My guide, Rumi, was absolultely wonderful! I went to Peru on my own, and wanted to ensure a safe, easy experience-Cusco Native definitely delivered!
We booked our Peru trip through Cusco Native and Leidy was great help. We had millions of questions and adjustments and changes to our travel plan and Leidy at Cusco Native was very patient and helpful. We had a great time and made memories that will last a lifetime.
Excellent service, great coordination, nice hotels. Everything was smooth as could be.
My husband and I did a day trip to see Machu Picchu, which has been a dream of mine for over 10 years, at the end of January this year. Once we were in Cusco and the day before the trip the team came by and explained everthing and there were no hazzle on the day of our trip either. The day was perfect and it was truly a dream come true thanks to Cusco Native.
