This was a perfect tour to Machu Picchu, we visited the Maras and Moray archaeological sites in the Sacred Valley of the Incas before visiting Machu Picchu. This gave us a detailed insight into the Inca civilization. The tour company was very organised and took excellent care of us. On the day of Machu Picchu tour, the guide met us at the entrance of the citadel and gave a detailed tour of the complex. We visited many notable sites in the complex. I am very much convinced with the whole experience.Eddymcgrath
