Edwin was absolutely wonderful! My boyfriend and I could not have asked for a better tour guide to show us around Cusco and the area's surrounding ruins. Edwin was extremely knowlegable on both the history of Cusco and the Incan empire. But more importantly, Edwin was personable and lovely to spend time with - it felt like we were exploring the city with an old friend rather than a tour guide. I would HIGHLY recommend Edwin to anyone visiting Cusco! I couldn't imagine our trip being the same without him!

Edwin covered it all. My husband has waited for 50 years to go to Peru. Specifically Machu Pichu. Yes, we are that old (in our 70's). Truly the trip of a life time thanks to Edwin. Edwin handled all the tickets and arrangements from our arrival in Arequipa to our departure from Cuzco 15 days later. We were in excellent hands. We had full days that were planned to give us the best views, historical sites, and city events with the "least" amount of other tourists. We actually were able to get pictures of Machu Pichu without people. Edwin was flexible and customized the tour to fulfil our interests and abilities. We are not very big shoppers. But, we are big into people, history, religion, art and culture. We managed to join a local wedding and a local political campaign. See the regional clothes and hats. Learn how salt is collected. Learn how to build an island in Lake Titicaca. Try many new foods. See animals in the wild (not in the zoo). Made a successful offering to a smoking volcano for good weather. Celebrated the anniversary of Machu Pichu (very special event). Lots of physical activity for us each day ('cause we can). Heard many personal stories from Edwin about his family and growing up in Peru. How Peru has changed and is continuing to change. We have traveled to many continents and countries. We have used tours by locals for many of those trips. If you would like more specific information Edwin can provide my contact information. We can honestly say that Edwin ranked #1 with us and your trip would be much better with Edwin in charge (even if you like shopping). TRY IT ALL!!!

We hired Edwin for Machu Picchu and later again for the salt ponds, Moray, and Chinchero.  He was excellent in both tours.  Edwin is a walking history book,  with an excellent command of the English  language.  You can’t go wrong hiring Edwin as a guide.  He will go at your pace, which being 74, mine was slow.
