Incredible Valentine! - Valentin and his son have been incredible guides for a day full of history, culture and activities! Valentin is an expert guide with whom we toured all of Cusco. You can tell that he is very well prepared and passionate about his work.
At the end of the day, they told us about their mission to create schools and meeting places for children in Peru, and thanks to our visit, we also contributed to this cause. It was a beautiful end to the day, and we are happy that part of the proceeds will go to such a noble purpose. Highly recommended!

Awesome private tour! - Booked the private full day tour of Cusco for my mother and me and had an amazing time! Valentin and Kenny were so knowledgeable about the cultural significance of every single stop and answered all of our questions along the way. We both learned so much about Incan culture and their way of life, and seeing the sites by ourselves just wouldn’t have been the same.
It was also our first full day in Cusco, and they went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortably acclimating to the elevation during the tour.
Highly recommend!

Amazing Full Day Private Tour of Cusco for the Family - This was a wonderful full day tour exploring the ruins that surround Cusco. Our guide Simon was very knowledgable. He provided lots of history of the Inka empire that engaged the whole family. The tour also took us to the Cathedral and the San Pedro Market. Our driver Daniel was punctual, fun and also provided information of the places that we visited.

The Most Amazing Tour Guide - Valentin was one of the major reasons our group's trip to Peru was such an amazing experience for everybody. He is funny, charming, and so incredibly knowledgeable about a myriad of topics. We did three day trips with him - Cusco/Sacsayhuaman, Moray/Maras/Chinchero, and Ollantaytambo/Pisac - and he gave us such a great understanding and appreciation of Incan culture and history. He also answered every question we threw at him regarding current events, local wildlife, etc.
He is an extraordinary person who has lived a fascinating life. More importantly, he is committed to giving back to his community, raising money to support children, education, and porters across the Andes communities. I highly recommend him and his team for the experience of a lifetime.

First class tour guide in Cusco and Sacred Valley of Peru - Valentine did a two day tour for a group of us traveling in Cusco and the Sacred Valley of Peru. Valentine is so knowledgeable about Inca history and culture and brought this to us in an intelligent and accessible way. He was attentive to our needs. He spent time to explain the sites. He explained many things about Peruvian culture. We received so much from him in such a short time. His driver was excellent and the van was comfortable. His english is excellent. I highly recommend Valentine for any tour in the Sacred valley or Cusco.

Amazing day with an amazing guide. - Everything was phenomenal from start to finish. We were picked up on time and taken on a private tour to several important Incan sites. Our guide, Fernando, was absolutely incredible. He was so knowledgeable and easily answered all of our questions. I'm a bit of a history buff and I learned so much. The views from Saqsaywaman and Puca Pucara were incredible. After visiting the sites we visited a local market that had anuthing you could want. Then we had lunch and wrapped uup the day with cathedral tours. It was a teuly fantastic day. If you plan to visit Cusco you should strongly consider this tour.

Simon Puma was the best tour guide!! - This experience was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. My partner and I were delighted to have the magnificent Simon as our tour guide extraordinaire. Not only did he have vast historical and cultural knowledge of the Inca trail, he was also incredibly personable and charming, with a tremendous sense of humor to boot! He made our experience incredibly enjoyable and unforgettable. We both miss his beautiful spirit and consider him a wonderful friend.
