- ACathy· August 23rd, 2023Obviously, Machu PIcchu was the highlight of the trip in terms of sites we visited, but our guide, Ernesto Morales, was himself a highlight - so knowledgable and patient, thoughtful and kind. He made the trip so much more meaningful by sharing history, family stories, interesting local information, etc.Show moreTrip date: August 2023Review collected by Explore!

Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for your great review! We're really glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip.Trip date: October 2019Review collected by Explore! - A7 Crabtree Lane· December 23rd, 2019Although not Explore's fault we did have an issue with flights from Cusco airport (this was the airlines fault). First flight was delayed so check in staff booked us on alternative which was not for another 5 hours. This flight was then delayed by 3 hours which meant we almost missed the connection in Bogota. Apparently there are quite often issues with flights to and from Cusco airport due to weather conditions.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your overall positive feedback about the trip, although we're sorry to hear about your issues with your return flight. I hope this didn't impact on your overall impression of the trip.Trip date: October 2019Review collected by Explore!
