This guy is amazing… any tour with him would be great - As a seasoned world traveler of over 30 years, I’ve learned that choosing the right excursion guide can make or break the experience. Money matters, but the guide is essential for ensuring the best adventure. Recently, I embarked on a 4-day hike with Julio, and his impact was profound. Julio stands out as the best guide I’ve encountered across my global travels. Fluent, empathetic, educated, and passionate, he hails from the highlands of Peru. His storytelling skills bring the country’s culture and history to life. After just four days together, I consider him a kindred spirit.

10/10 Recommend - thanks Julio! - This private tour with Julio as my guide was amazing. Everything worked out perfectly, he was so helpful with the preparation and throughout the process, had everything figured out (tickets/time-schedule etc.) which made the whole day so easy and fun. Julio explained the fascinating history of Machu Picchu and pointed out all the interesting spots throughout the tour. In addition to learning a lot about Machu Picchu we also had great conversations about Peru and the Peruvian way of life. All in all I had the best day and am very thankful to have had Julio as my guide. Can 100 % recommend to anyone wanting to explore Machu Picchu in a day!

Awesome Trip - We'll start by saying that this trip was excellent! Our guide was Mr. Julio and he facilitated this excursion for us. The reality is that we left the tickets for Machu Picchu at the last minute. We thought we had no choice but to miss the trip but we found Julio and he helped us. Since all-day Machu Picchu entry tickets are sold about 1 month in advance, the only other way to get in is to buy tickets the day before the early morning entry. And you have to make sure you are one of the first in line to buy one of those tickets. This after getting on the train to get to Aguas Calientes...etc. Well it sounded a little complicated but Julio assured us that everything was already planned. So it was! From the second they picked us up at our hotel in Cusco until returning us back to the hotel, everything was very coordinated. We didn't have to worry about anything. He made it possible for us to enjoy Machu Picchu to the fullest. We had a beautiful cloudless day at 10 am. We could see everything clearly. Our guide Wilmar gave us a lot of information and history about any questions we had about Machu Picchu. He was patient with us and went at our pace (there are sections more difficult than others). We used circuit 1 and we could see everything. Machu Picchu was an unforgettable experience. Julio was very attentive to us and helped us with any concerns we had. Thanks for the gifts Julio! We recommend Apu Ausangate Trails and Julio as a guide.

Machupicchu experience - It was an amazing experience! Our guide Jonathan with Apu Ausangate trek met us on time in Cusco with a cheerful smile and made us smile for the duration of the trip! We visited incredible Machu Picchu, and many of the other amazing cultural sights in The Sacred Valley. Jonathan was helpful efficient and very informative in each place we stopped. He had an excellent background knowledge of all the areas we visited and answered all our questions. We had different ability levels and he carefully walked us through the options available to maximize our experience and accommodate our physical needs. We were also impressed by his involvement and his wish to help local communities. He and Pablo, our driver were truly exceptional! We will never forget our time in Peru with Jonathan and Pablo I highly recommend them Thank you !
