For our annual trip this year we decided to go to Peru. Prior to going we knew we wanted to hike Machu Picchu & Rainbow Mountain. We reached out to a few tour groups and decided to go with FlashpackerConnect, and they did not disappoint. They helped us organize the two-day Machu Picchu trip from Cusco and the one day Rainbow Mountain hike. The team was very responsive, kept us in the loop, and everything was planned out perfectly.
The day of the Machu Picchu trip, our guide Albert, met us in our hotel lobby and immediately gave us the rundown of what we should expect over the next two days. Over the next two days Albert was incredibly helpful and insightful. He answered all of our questions, knew a lot about the history of the region and the Inca Empire, and was a very kind, helpful person. He added a level of professionalism that made our trip perfect. He took pictures for us, taught us information about Machu Picchu we would have never learned without him, and helped us get the most out of the experience.
The trip itself is wonderful - from the car ride through the mountains and Sacred Valley, to the train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes, and eventually stepping into Machu Picchu, everything was planned seamlessly by FlashpackerConnect. We had free time to adventure around Aguas Calientes on our own but also knew that we could reach out to Albert if we needed anything. The hotel accommodations they arranged for us were also great.
We can't say enough good things about the trip, and specifically about Albert. He was a great guide and we would highly recommend FlashpackerConnect and Albert to anyone going on a trip to Cusco.
