Clearing Your Doubts

Can I choose my hotels?

Yes! This package gives you the flexibility to book your own hotels, or we can provide a curated list of our partner hotels (3-star to 5-star Luxury) and add them to your package for a seamless experience.

Is this suitable for children?

Absolutely. The private nature of the tour allows for flexibility—stops for bathrooms, snacks, or rest are easy. The visuals (salt mines, trains, llamas) keep kids engaged.

What if I want to hike Wayna Picchu?

Let us know at the time of booking. We will secure the specific permit needed (subject to availability) and adjust the Day 3 itinerary to accommodate the hike.

Do I have the same guide every day?

Typically, you will have a Cusco specialist for Day 1, a Valley specialist for Day 2, and a Machu Picchu expert for Day 3. This ensures you get the deepest knowledge for each specific area.
