    Gio made our trip to Peru so very special! He had a genuine passion for sharing the historical context of where we were, and his love for reading inspired the quality of information he presented. Gio was a natural storyteller, was very engaging, and was interesting to talk to and get to know. He is a skilled guide, and he took really good care of us the whole time. We did two tours with Gio: 2-Day Machu Picchu and 1-Day Rainbow Mountain. For both tours, when he said we would arrive somewhere by a certain time, every time he was accurate with his predictions. The tour’s pacing was good each day; we never felt rushed and we felt like we got a good amount of time in each place. FlashPacker’s teams were well-organized, and everyone had clear roles to help make the experience great for us (e.g., they had a designated food/lunch person who hiked up to set up lunch for us in advance of our arrival one day). An unexpected highlight of being matched with Gio as our guide was how willing he was to take pictures of us and capture video of us throughout both journeys. He has an excellent eye for photography . . . so much so, that he would sometimes direct us to walk or stand a certain way, to ensure he could capture the best shots. I would have never thought we would come away from this trip with such a rich portfolio of photographs and video — that was a priceless gift. Also, FlashPacker as a company was very accommodating: 1) we booked two tours less than 3 weeks out, and they had availability for us, whereas many other tour companies did not have space left, 2) when one of the people in our party got sick, the company was flexible to reschedule our trip to the following day. They were also responsive very late at night via text so we could work out an alternate plan. I would highly recommend FlashPacker as a company for your Peru tour, and I hope we can do tours with Gio again in the future!

Jacob was main guide. he is very knowledgeable and professional. from the amazing views, rich history, and difficult hike, the time spent with Jacob made it a little bit more memorable. Thank you flashpacker connect team and Jacob for your excellent service.

    Aiben was incredible! This was our first time in Machu Picchu and Aiben was an amazing tour guide! He took the time to really help us understand the historical significance of this amazing site and was there for us the entire time. I highly recommend booking a tour with Flashpacker Connect and ask for Aiben!

    We did our Machu Picchu tour with Aiben and he was fantastic! We booked the private tour, they came to pick us up on time, everything was a smooth process and the explanation and tour of the site was everything we wanted and more! I highly recommend this company! Thank you Aiben!

    The experience was amazing and our guide Ricardo was professional, timely, and had lots of insight into the ruins and Inca people. The day is long so be prepared for that, Ricardo prepared us well for the various means of transport. If you are doing it in the summer season then I highly advise to bring sun screen, water and a hat

    What an experience this was. Jacob Diaz was my guide and he’s the real deal. I learned so much of Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain’s history due to Jacob’s extensive knowledge. He encouraged me through the toughest parts of the hikes, and he made sure I was comfortable and satisfied with my train commutes, the hotel stay, and meals. I definitely intend on coming back and I would love nothing more than for Jacob to be my guide again. These two days I will never forget. Thank you very much.

    both of my guides (Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain) did a fantastic job on the tour. They get a great job explaining the cultural and geographical features of the sites I saw. I feel like I learned a lot and had a great experience. The lunch provided at the end of the Rainbow Mountain tour was delicious.

    We read hundreds of reviews before making the decision to book with FlashPacker. We are so are on day 3/8 and things couldn’t have gone much smoother. Our guide Aiben has been nothing short of great. He is extremely knowledgeable about not only the current culture, but the great history of the Incas as well. We highly recommend!

    I had an incredible time hiking the Inca trail with Aiban and three friends! The trail was beautiful and Aiban was very knowledgeable, and consistently accommodating and flexible. The setup itinerary by flashpacker really allowed us to be able to maximize our time there. Would 100% recommend!

    Amazing experience with FlashPacker LLC. Especially Joaquin. He was very informative and head a great sense of humor. You can tell when someone is passionate about what they do in the way things are presented. Also he saved my life I was going for the record of fastest man down the 7 color mountains lol. Also like they take you to a home cooked meal for lunch on the rainbow mountain portion. The weather was great for Machu Picchu and the 7 color mountains. He picked up on time for the tour and was very flexible and patient throughout. Can’t recommend them and Joaquin enough
