Sarah H2025-09-02Amazing private tours!! Horse ride & sacred valley. Ronaldo was fantastic! We came to Peru from the US, and did a private sacred valley tour with him, and then did another tour where we did a horse trek to sun gate (intipunku) which was incredible! He was so knowledgeable, on time, helpful, and would highly highly recommend!!Dan B2025-08-17Small group, authentic experience, kind, caring, and affordable I cannot put in words how great Ronald was and how thankful I am that I got to meet him! After our trip was cancelled with a bigger agency, we found Ronald last minute and he had availability. We hiked throughout the Andean mountains and he took us to Machu Picchu. Ron grew up in the Sacred Valley, so the mountains were his backyard and he gave us wonderful perspective from a local as we went on our journey. I highly recommend Ronald as a guide, and I would definitely hire him again the next time I’m in Peru!John V2025-07-24Amazing views on this trip. Roneld Troncoso Santos was very knowledgeable of life in the mountains. Our wrangler was very helpful making a tough long climb to Inka Punku easier. Please ‘be aware, this is a long hike. Hikers should be in good physical conditions.Cesar j2025-07-07Excellent service!!! (2-day Inca Pass) We definitely recommend Roneld. We did the 2-day Inca Trek as a family with my 12-year-old daughter, and everything went very well, from arrival to the escort back to the airport. Congratulations !!!Leonardo S2025-04-28THE BEST YOU CAN FIND You may find the tours under the name inca trail classic, but don't worry, it's them.We did Lares Trek + Km104 to Machu Picchu (4 days/3 nights).Frankly I couldn't ask for more.The itinerary was fantastic, during the first 2 days we saw breathtaking landscapes and passed through remote villages in the mountains. Then we hiked through the jungle to get to Machu Picchu, where we enjoyed both the panoramic circuit and the closer one, exploring the ruins.The organization was flawless, communication was smooth and the food was amazing. We did many other multi day treks with other tour operators but never experienced such good cooking.The real plus of the tour was that we didn't feel like tourists too much, it was not one of those tours where there are 20 people with the same t-shirts, 20 porters and you go through the fake tourist stuff.So to sum up, I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.Raffy P2025-04-16Unforgettable trip to Inti Punku. Gracias Ronald!!! Write a brief review about Ronald. My guide to Inti punku in Ollantaytambo. Emphasize how he was very responsive, knowledgeable, personable. How we shared many stories about Peru and its rich history. It was one of the highlights of my visit to Peru and I feel like I gained a new friend. Highly recommended. Keep it brief and straightforward.Sydney D2025-04-06Incredible experience and team! Ronald and his team are the best of the best. We did the Inca quarry trail, which was (literally) breathtaking. Being from the area, Ronald had an in depth knowledge, with lots of great stories along the way. The team was absolutely incredible at setting up camp and the meals were delicious! My dietary restriction (vegetarian) was no problem for Chef Freddy. I highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking an authentic, enriching experience in Peru!Nathan H2025-04-06Inca Quarry Trek Ronald was awesome very happy with booking with him, very happy to support a local company, highly recommend the Inca Quarry Trek!Franziska K2025-04-05Horse riding to Sun Gate Tour Near the End of March my friend and I did the „Horse Riding to Sun Gate Tour“ starting in Ollantaytambo with our wonderful guide Roger. As we made our way up the mountains on horseback, the view was amazing. We passed some Inca-sights on the way and Roger explained us about the history and significance of the trail. At the halfway point we took a break for us and the horses and ate our delicious lunch, provided by the Tour. When we arrived at the Sun Gate, it was pretty cloudy but Roger had a lot of stories and facts to tell us while we waited for the weather to clear up. I can definitely recommend the Horse Tour with Roger as a less exhausting alternative to get up to the Sun Gate :)Navigator091975906682024-11-21Incredible 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!
