Trips Visiting Sacred Valley

The Sacred Valley day was a fantastic experience. Our guide was excellent! Our room in the hotel at the Sacred Valley was next to a water pump that turned on and off every time someone used water and kept waking us up.

The whole tour was exemplary from the minute we were collected from the airport to our return. The drivers & guides were excellent with the highlights being the Cusco walking tour and Machu Pichu visit. Travelling on the train and bus to Machu Pichu is a once in a lifetime experience. There probably doesn’t need to be as much time allocated to look around markets in different locations - Cusco, Machu Pichu etc We also had less time in the Machu Pichu site than expected. Our ticket entry time and when we actually went in was an hour after and we didn’t know why.

i requested an upgrade of hotel few weeks before we left and were told we cannot change. our hotel on galapagos was no way a 3 star. rooms had a smell and we had to use a air freshener . on oct 10th our flt was at 1:25 pm and stephanie from our group her flt was 1:30pm. so on oct 11 the bus came to pick up stephanie and not us. we told the driver we were flying out and he said their records showed we were leaving the next day even though we showed our airline booking and boarding pass. the tours were good but the transportation was disorganized

The pace was about perfect. The transportation was confortable. The choice of accommodation was was well above what I expected. This trip itinerary hit so many of the bucklist sites without having to book further tours. The guides were very passionate about sharing their culture. The location of the accommodation in La Paz could have been better placed. The standard was first rate but other activities required travelling into the old town for pick up/drop off.

Highlights for us was Machu Picchu and the ancient Inca ruins. But Rainbow mountain really topped it off. The fact that it snowed while we were there only added to the adventure. Percy's local knowledge of the history and culture was very helpful and appreciated. Our train tickets to Machu Picchu were printed on the reverse of someone elses. When we got off the train our connection was poorly advertised with Kelvin Bishop's middle name used instead of first or last name. The bus tickets up to Machu Picchu hadn't been organised before we got there. Embarrassed to find we had to pay to get into the Rainbow Mountains as no one had any local cash on them and we had to reley on the guild to pay. Also being dropped of in the square rather than back at our hotel where we were picked up from was not great. We did arrange with the driver as it was raining

For me, Macchu Picchu was the highlight and was the reason I booked the tour. Thinking about how the Incas could have constructed this marvel boggles one's mind. Rainbow Mountain was a challenging optional tour because of the altitude, but the sights made it worth it. It was disappointing to see so much of the countryside we drove past littered with garbage and abandoned construction materials. Not that On the Go could do anything about it, it's just that a country that depends so much on tourism, Peru isn't more forceful in maintaining a better standard.

We absolutely loved our holiday. It did start a little rocky as when we arrived at Quito the Wyndham Airport hotel had a free pickup waiting for us. Noting the On The Go transfer was an extra $70AU evidently for arriving a day early, and Noting the hotel was only 1.2kms away it wasnt a good start This tour was different to other On The Go experiences in that it was separate small tours combined however it worked well. The only improve next a day the extra day at start have been more enjoyable to have stayed in Quito town. We would not been miffed to have pay trf then

Tour & local guides, itinerary and accommodation excellent.Airport transfers worked well. However printed itinerary provided at airport and hotel contained incorrect dates. As a result missed city Lima city tour and nearly missed flight to Cusco. First days in Lima missed having tour guide.
