Our guide, Edwin Cusi Huaman, was superb! One of our best ever. Kristy's response when she heard I was sick was *far*beyond expectations.

For learning purposes: 1) when our flight to Cusco was rebooked, we initially weren't told. We rebooked ourselves, then cancelled. And then we weren't told we were now on an earlier flight. Fortunately we arrived at the Lima Airport with time to spare. 2) our booking at the El Mapi hotel in Agua Calientes was changed and neither the desk at the hotel nor us were aware. Fortunately Kristy responded VERY promptly and we actually had a reservation, but for about 10 minutes we were in doubt.

The hotel selections, drivers, and Edwin were all excellent. And the staff at the Antigua Casona San Blas was really, really responsive and helpful. Lima food tour was also fun.

I had the misfortune of getting sick while we were guests. The staff was wonderfully responsive. Lovely people. Lovely hotel. I recommend it very highly. I would be delighted to stay there again.

Very comfortable hotel conveniently close to the endless bus lines to Machu Pichu and the train station. They delivered our bags to the train station directly after our excursion to Machu Pichu. We had the meal plan, and dinner was decent. Breakfast is just okay. But we'd happily stay there again.

Authenticity & Character
It's modern - not trying for that 16th century look.
