The very well organised Happy Gringos took care of everything, allowing my brother and I to sit back, relax and enjoy and incredible journey to the breathtaking Machu Picchu.

Marco picked us up from our hotel in Cusco and organised our transportation to Aguas Calientes. Once we got to the town we met our amazing tour guide Ruben, who took us to our hotel which was again organised totally by Happy Gringo.

We got to know Ruben over dinner that night where we talked and laughed about everything from Peruvian delicacies to our families back home. Ruben made us feel like we were visiting an old friend in a town that we had been to many times. We felt completely comfortable and at home.

Having always wanted to see the sunrise at Machu Picchu we woke up at 5:30am and met up with Ruben again. He rode with us on the bus and ensured that we had a smooth entry into Machu Picchu. Again, I literally just stood there and did nothing.

The magical beauty of Machu Picchu was complimented perfectly by Ruben’s knowledgeable insight into the history of the citadel. He provided the context behind what we were seeing, which allowed us to appreciate the experience much more than if we went on our own. He also knew all the best places to take photos and made sure that we were happy with them before we kept on walking. After the tour we had lunch and played billiards together before heading to our train which was again all organised by Happy Gringo.

If you are looking for a well organised, reliable and friendly tour company then Happy Gringo is for you. The stress-free experience allows you to relax and properly appreciate once of the most magical places in the world. We can’t thank Ruben and all the Gringos enough. Gracias.

  I enjoyed my trip and everything was well orgainsed and picked and dropped from hotel on time. I love the humble nature of tour guide.

  An amazing experience! This is definitely a long day, but Mauro’s guided excursion of Machu Picchu was well worth it. He knows a lot about the site and is very... read more kind and helpful.

  Mauro was incredible. He explained the history of Machu Picchu, took his time taking our photos, showed us how to pronounce the word “Picchu”, explained what it meant, how the... read more Quechua people lived and so on. He made the entire experience worth while.

Big Ups to Mauro! Definitely recommending him from Gringo Tours next time I visit.

  The day was jam-packed with information and sights all interesting in different ways. Jose Maria was more patient than me as some of the guests repeatedly returned late but he... read more managed to keep us on schedule, and we didn't lose anyone.

One sign of a good tour company is how they deal with issues and Happy Gringo Tours excels in that regard. Traffic was bad in Cusco so my pickup was very late but Juan kept me apprised of the situation so I did not feel abandoned or concerned that nobody would come as has happened with other companies. Thanks, Juan and Happy Gringo Tours!

  I cannot say enough good things about Happy Gringo Tours. I tried to book the 4-day Inca trail on Viator and kept getting cancelations from the vendors on Viator with... read more no explanation. My fifth try was with Happy Gringo Tours and instead of just cancelling my booking Juan reached out to me on WhatsApp to explain that classic Inca trail was fully booked months in advance. He worked with me to choose other options (including this one) to maximize what I could do in Cusco. How refreshing to have personalized service! They were even kind enough to transfer my luggage from my first hotel to the second while I was on the hike.

And speaking of the hike, Ruben, our guide was great in explaining where we were and what we were seeing. He told us about the history and even pointed out various plants and animals native to the location. We didn't see a bear, but you can't have everything!
