My friend and I did a VIP tour with the amazing guide Ruben Andrade. Ruben is very passionate and energetic, his energy is contagious to our group all along the trip! He is also a very knowledgeble guide knowing every detail about the Inca culture with vivid stories and pictures, it’s eyeopening following his tour! Ruben is very considerate to the guests, accommodating our schedule and pace during the tour. We feel fascinating listening to Ruben’s personal stories as well. When standing on Machu Picchu, we enjoy our spiritual moments together with Ruben and to feel the connection with The Inca Empire. This trip is amazing and we highly recommend our guide Ruben!susanlH6153AA

It was a great trip to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Ruben Andrade is our tour guide and he is the best. Ruben is very knowledgeable and passionate about Peru and the Inca culture. We learned so much on this trip as he explained the stories behind the amazing historical and natural sites. Ruben also knows all the good spots for photo taking. My friend and I do not speak Spanish, but Ruben makes sure everything work out well and we always know that we are in good hands during the two days. It’s been a fun and enriching journey.Counselor2022

Our experience with Alpaca Expeditions was incredible. Jaime was our guide, and took us on the "Super Sacred Valley" tour. Our tour was canceled on the first day due to strikes, but Jaime still took us out for day 2 and fit as much as possible into one day. All of the main roads were still closed, but he took us through back mountain roads to ensure that we were still able to experience the Sacred Valley. We were the only tour group to do so. We had every site to ourselves, and it was absolutely incredible. Despite the strikes (and a bit of off-roading), he also made us feel safe and secure the entire time. He also stayed with us an extra night to take us to Machu Picchu, even waiting for us at the train station. Jaime had the answer to every single question that we asked (and we asked a lot!) I can't even begin to explain how knowledgable he was - we spent 3 hours at Machu Picchu alone, learning all about the Incan culture and history. Incredible experience and can't say enough positive things. If you're planning a trip to Peru - plan as many tours with Alpaca as possible!
