Ahead of the crowd and thorough. My wife and I truly enjoyed the journey Ruben took us on through the Sacred Valley. He was extremely informative, patient and accommodating. We will remember the tour for a long time. Also, Ruben really was ahead of the crowd as he took a route that got us to most of the sites before the crowds formed. So much nicer without the crowds. Thank you Ruben for a wonderful day.

Unforgettable experience thanks to David Condori Having David as my guide back in October was the best experience of my life. David made sure to make a connection with every guest, and I was lucky enough to become good friends with him. He is so fun and youthful, but can also lock in and be serious while spreading his wonderful knowledge about the Inca’s and Peru’s rich history. 10000/10 experience

Great Salkantay 3 night trip to Machu Picchu If your looking for a guide for the Salkantay trek, David is your guy!! We did the hike with him in April 2025 (3 nights track) and it was honestly the highlight of our hole trip. David is so knowledgeable about the mountains and really looked after us the entire time. He's such a genuine person and made the hike feel like we were just out with a friend who happens to know everything about the mountains. Make sure you are somewhat fit as the track is partly challenging due to the height.

Awesome guides This review is a little bit delayed but we are writing it for David, who is an amazing and caring guide. He looked after someone in our group that was unwell and then once he had helped them return he trooped on and still gave us his all. Cheers David!

You couldn't ask for a better guide! I went on a 5 day trek on the Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu as part of a 4 week expedition with school. I was lead teacher. How lucky were we to have Ruben as our guide! Firstly, he is such a lovely soul and so easy to get along with. Safety was always his priority and we never felt out of our comfort zone. He knows the area like the back of his hand, and his knowledge of the local flora and forna is second to none. Also, he is an accomplished musician, and whipped out a homemade flute which he played along a trail one day. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended.

Salkantay trek with David I had such an incredible once in a lifetime experience doing this 4 day salkantay trek with David as our tour guide. The views were absolutely astonishing and we had such good fun as a group. We all really enjoyed the challenge and David was there every step of the way to help us and encourage us. David was so kind, friendly and knowledgeable throughout the whole trip - he really helped to make the trip as amazing as it could be and we all really appreciated his efforts.

Laguna Humantay with the best tour guide! I thoroughly enjoyed the Humantay Lake tour with David! The tour actually began the night before, as David called to make sure each passenger felt comfortable and prepared for early pick up the next morning. This especially meant a lot to me as a female solo traveler. The tour was excellently executed and ran very smoothly. After arriving by car to the base of the mountain, we began the lovely hike. David went out of his way to teach us about the animals and plants we went past, as well as telling us about Incan history. He even gave us the opportunity to participate in a small thanksgiving to Pachamama with stones next to the lake. The hike itself was manageable, especially with his expert guidance and flexibility if we needed assistance. And it was so worth it for the stunning view of the lake in the mountains! We were given the perfect amount of time and freedom to admire the scenery at the top and take pictures before heading back down. I highly recommend visiting Laguna Humantay for a day trip with a mix of nature and history/culture, and I recommend booking it with David. Thanks for a great experience!

Mario nos acompañó con vocación también ayudándonos en cada recorrido. Nos vemos la próxima!
