  I want to say Marco was amazing after the horrible experience I had with the booking at Viator.

I paid for a first class train rides but I ended up not receiving that due to the negligence and dishonesty of viator. We were tough group to break the ice with but he never showed that he was irritated with us and just kept pushing through with his positivity. On top of that we woke up late so we almost missed the train, but he made sure we got there on time. I must say this man went above and beyond!!!!!!! Thanks to Marco he took my husband, his best friend, and myself out of our disappointing moods and gave us the tour of our lives. He himself is apart of the Incandescent which was amazing to have the tour with a person like him. He educated us on so much ( I won’t spill the beans because I don’t want to ruin what you will learn for your future tour). As a black woman I had no idea that they have Black Peruvians! #Blacklivesmatter ! He also took us to get really good food after the tour while we waited for the train to go back. I never had such professionalism, fun and educated tour all in one.

  My favorite was the town we stopped at in Pisac, the children in traditional clothing was adorable and the animals but you do have to tip them to take pictures

  Marco gave us a really great experience on this trip! He was very patient and took every opportunity to point out wild life and tell us interesting facts about Peru... read more and Machu Picchu. We were really impressed also by the great communication from happy Gringo. It is obvious that they are a family business and really cared about our experience. Marco even went out of his way to arrange an extra ride for us to get back to our Airbnb and called later that night to make sure we made it back okay. You will definitely not regret my choosing happy Gringo! And this hike and trip to Machu Picchu is the perfect length if you are only spending a short time in Peru!

  I made a serious error when booking this tour. I had my days mixed up and was not able to do my full day tour as I arrived in cusco... read more at noon. Happy Gringro could have just kept my payment and not honored my trip as it was my error in booking. They actually called me and made arrangements to Make a modified personal tour for me and my wife later the same day. That is customer service at its best. I had the error they had no obligation to help and they did. I strongly recommend this group. Marco was very knowledgeable .

  Thank you Marko Andinauta for taking us on this amazing journey to Machu Picchu and for sharing your expert knowledge and passion about Inca/Peruvian history and culture.
... read more /> The journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu was fascinating. We passed through remote villages by bus then took an enchanting train ride through the mountainous of "Valle Sagrado" to Aguas Calientes. In Aguas Calientes we visited a nice restaurant overlooking the Vilcanota River to enjoy some Pisco sour's - Peru's national drink. Finally, we boarded a large van on the way to our final destination.

Once in Machu Picchu the experience really starts to hit you. WOW. This place is an archeological marvel and one of the 7 wonders of the world. As we toured the site, we took lots of great pics and our tour guide stopped along the route to share information and perspective on key details.

Marko is a multilingual tour guide who speaks Quechua, Spanish, English and some Italian. We had both English and Spanish speakers on the tour and Marko switched between languages without missing a beat.

I highly recommend Marko Andinauta and Happy Gringo Tours!
