Jimena and Jesus recently organized our vacation in Cusco and were outstanding! They were responsive, clear in their communication and incredibly helpful in planning. In addition, they lined up local guides who were also outstanding! Our local guide, Ceasar, and driver, Ollidon, took extremely good care of us and more importantly, we kind and nice to be with.

Everyone explained what was needed, what to expect and plan for, and how to best navigate our short time in Cusco. Highly recommend them and Peruvian Sol if you are looking to book a trip to Peru.

Hotel Review
Costa del Sol Wyndham Cusco
Cusco

The hotel TV and aircon didn't work well. Room was basic and had a slight moldy smell. Would have also liked a hotel with a fitness center. Although they advertised one they didn't have one. Service in the bar was not as friendly as reception and the restaurant.

Authenticity & Character
lots of peruvian character in design
Location
very easy to walk to restaurants and shopping
Staff
Bar staff could be more friendly like reception and restuarant.
Cleanliness & Comfort
air con and tv should work and rooms shouldn't smell moldy

Cesar was so informative, kind and has a fun sense of humor. He was a treat to spend time with during our stay. If we do another trip, will definitely ask for Cesar!
Transport
My daughter and I get motion sickness easily. However, even with the winding roads and traffic, our driver, Ollidon, didn't make us sick while driving and was an exceptional navigator. We felt very safe and cared for and would use Ollidon again and again.

Extremely well organized by Peruvian Sol and our guide and driver. Train travel was ok and worth paying for the upgraded experience. Bus travel to and from Machu Picchu was rough, scary, and seemed dangerous. Unfortunately, it's the only way to the site unless you want to hike up the hill which requires a lot of time and to be in good shape. Overall the site was crowded and so many people taking social media pictures it wasn't the best experience.

transport to and from Macchu Picchu was great and the trains were great. Bus travel to and from the site was horrible.

Our driver, Ollidon, arranged a lovely picnic with flowers and excellent food from Cicciolina. Highly recommend this restaurant! So thoughtful of our driver and he took care of every detail for the picnic.
