Incredible Guide! Ronald was truly an incredible guide! We had such a fantastic time on both the Short Inca Trail and the Sacred Valley day tour. His deep knowledge of Inca culture, coming from Ollantaytambo, really brought everything to life for us. He was super patient while we hiked, always making sure we were okay and enjoying the experience. I can't recommend him enough, and I'm already looking forward to taking another tour with him when I return to Peru!

Incredible Experience at Machu Picchu I had the most incredible visit to Machu Picchu and Ronald went above and beyond to ensure our experience was tailored to us. We were booking at a time where ticket releases were extremely unpredictable, Ronald checked in with me every couple of days to ensure I was well informed. He was extremely well informed with the history of the site, and is an incredible story teller. I highly recommend booking with Ronald and Machula Expeditions for your Machu Picchu trip!

Amazing 2day trip with the best guide! I did the 2 day Inka Trail led by the knowledgeable and friendly guide, Ronald. The organisation run smoothly, food and accommodation were perfect! Ronald took the time to walk me through his Inka culture and traditions and he shared many interesting things about plants and flowers. It was an unforgettable experience and I really recommend anyone to go for it with the best guide you could ask for: Ronald. The hike itself is feasible and definitely enjoyable! Thanks Ronald !

Amazing trip! It was very easy to coordinate the trip, even though we both don’t speak Spanish at all. We had a short meeting before the trip to discuss details and make sure we have all needed documents and equipment. Frank was extremely knowledgeable about Machu Picchu, he answered all questions we had and explained the magnificent history behind the smallest part. It was a real pleasure to listen to him and spend time in this beautiful place. Would highly recommend everyone going to Machu Picchu!

Best private guide in Cusco Me and my fiancé Went to Peru for the first time, spend 5 days in Cusco and the best decision we did was to Take a private guide to truly understand the Incas’s culture and how they lived. Ronald (our guide) has more than 15 years of experience, he told us everything he knows about the Incas, the Peruvian culture, the food, the population and answered every questions we had! I can honestly say that I learned so much and I have made a new friend. Thank you Ronald. He did everything for us to have the best experience possible! He speaks Spanish, English and Quechua (which helps a lot when you want to learn more about the local population)! I can’t recommend him enough. You will have a real adventures based on your wish. He does hikes, day tour and plan everything for you. Most important you don’t pass by an agency or tour company therefore you cut the middle man. Thank you Ronald for making this trip even more special. BEST guide in Cusco, and remember Ronald you have a home in Canada!

A REAL journey into the Quechua culture & history of Machu Picchu - Locally Ran Roneld is simply spectacular & my experience of the short Inca Trail exceeded my expectations. Not only was the trek and the landscape breathtaking, but Roneld's knowledge, vibe and conversation made it truly unforgettable experience. I wanted a truly local experience, and was very skeptical of taking one of the million agencies that claim to be sustainable and inclusive, and I was so happy to have found Roneld through instagram. From the very beginning he was very honest and helpful in picking the right trek for the time I had available, and his attention to detail was exceptional. For 2 days we shared stories, debated the impact of tourism on local communities, compared Aztec and Quechua cultures and laughed. I really recommend traveling with Roneld and to support small, indigenous ran, and fair-pay agencies. Yes, Machu Picchu is amazing, but actually understanding how the Quechua lived, why it is important, how life has changed and the challenges that come with receiving so many visitors each year is far more important. 5 stars on logistics and on organizing every aspect of the trip! Not only did I get to experience the magic of the trek, but I made a great friend along the way.

Incredible 2D/1N Rainbow Mountain journey, the trip of a lifetime This trek was both breathtaking and unforgettable. My guide, Ronald did his best to arrange the 2D/1N private nature trek for me as requested. He knows about all these mountains and all the locals living in this area as well.The crew consisted of 1 chef, 1 helper, 1 horsemen with 3 horses. We hiked 12km on the 1st day passing through Ausangate Mt. along the way to our camp site in the valley by a little lake. The mountain views are well worth the effort.We woke up early in the 2nd day morning and started to hike another 6km to Rainbow Mt. By 7:00am we arrived at the summit of Rainbow Mountain before all other day-trippers arrive.All the surrounding scenery are so beautiful and this trek is simply incredible. After taking photos, we hiked up to another summit to overlook the Red Valley. The view was stunning up there. Didn't want to leave but we still had to slowly came back down to the trail head to have our lunch before our private vehicle to take us back to Cusco.My guide Ronald gave me a lot of encouragement along the way and the crew did an excellent job making me as comfortable as possible. Delicious food for both days. I love so much that they really care for me and give me the best experience about their beautiful country.Without Ronald and the crew, this journey will not be possible at all. Big thanks to them for making this trekking a trip of a lifetime.
