View on Google MapsInca Soul delivered an unforgettable sunrise tour from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Our guides, Freddy and Guido. were exceptional—deeply knowledgeable about Inca history and cosmology, narrating stories and symbolism that brought the ruins to life. The commentary was both scholarly and accessible, adding layers of meaning to every terrace, stone, and sunrise glow. Their passion and expertise clearly mark them as some of the best guides around. The logistics for our tour were flawless: seamless transfers in Ollantaytambo ensured we arrived at our PeruRail Vistadome train stop with time to spare, and every step of the journey felt professionally managed. From pickup in Cusco to the return, the service was courteous, punctual, and efficient. If you want a stress-free, insightful, and beautifully executed Machu Picchu sunrise experience, Inca Soul is an excellent choice.
Our two day tour was one of the highlights of our trip to South America. Inca Soul was great to work with and organised all transport making the journey carefree (we were a group of 10). All the stops during the tour were interesting with no random visits to factories for “toilet breaks” to sell you unwanted things. Fredy was a great guide who demonstrated a wealth of knowledge for history on the areas we visited. He was also incredibly charismatic and brought a lot of fun to the tour. Will be using Inca Soul again when we return to Peru.

My husband and I went on the 2-day trip with Fredy and Inca Soul, and words truly cannot describe what an incredible journey it was! We started in Cusco, where Fredy picked us up in a very comfortable van stocked with plenty of bottled water for the drive. Our first stop was Chinchero, where we learned about traditional indigenous textile craftsmanship and purchased beautiful hand-made goods. We then continued to Maras, the salt mines, Moray, an Inca archaeological site, and finally the charming town of Ollantaytambo. Fredy’s wonderful storytelling brought each destination to life! We enjoyed a fantastic lunch in Ollantaytambo before heading to the train station for our first-class Vistadome journey. Although there was a minor delay (not Fredy’s fault), he kept us entertained and informed throughout. When we arrived in Aguas Calientes, the hotel arranged by the company was perfectly located right by the river; we even left our door open that night to fall asleep to the soothing sound of the water. The next morning, Fredy picked us up early for our sunrise tour of Machu Picchu at 5 a.m. Trust me, it was absolutely worth it! We arrived before the crowds and captured stunning photos of this magical world wonder. Seeing the ruins on your own is one thing, but experiencing them with a knowledgeable local Incan guide like Fredy makes it unforgettable. He shared stories and insights that made the ancient walls come alive. All in all, I would 120% do this trip again with Inca Soul and Fredy. The company handled every detail seamlessly, so all we had to do was show up and enjoy the experience. What an amazing journey. Highly, highly recommended!
Our trip to Peru was absolutely unforgettable, and that was all thanks to Inca Soul! Every part of our itinerary was so well-planned and customized to our groups needs/interests— hotels, transportation (including in the middle of the night to the airport!) , & daily activities. Traveling in Peru without any guidance would’ve been extremely difficult, so I am glad we had Fredy and his team to handle all of the logistics and itinerary!! Fredy was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time. His team and other guides were very kind as well and ensured we had a nice trip. I am already missing Peru and thinking of my next trip back, will def use Inca Soul when I return. Highly recommend!!!!
Overall we thought our guide and driver were excellent. What would have made this better? I think some options around where we could eat and maybe the train times to get to Aguas Calientes. We felt this was a great value trip in timing, knowledge of our driver and guide, and cost.
Fredy was fantastic! After speaking with him, we organized much of our Machu Picchu experience with him and his team and it was fabulous! Guido led us on our Inca Trail hike and the logistics were perfectly coordinated - the boxed lunch was especially delicious! The Sacred Valley tour was super scenic, he allowed time for leisurely stops along the way, lots of great photo opportunities. The schedule is flexible, his driver is reliable (clean comfortable vehicles), and we felt completely safe throughout. Inca Soul took care of all the logistics (trains/busses/entrance tickets) so we didn't have to worry about timing and purchasing tickets individually. Everything was on time as scheduled, and the communication was easy and efficient. Highly recommend Fredy and his team at Inca Soul while in Peru!!!
My guide Valerio was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient. We managed to see all the main Sacred Valley sites on the first day such as Moray, Maras, Pisac and Ollyatentambo. The company also gave me clear directions on how to queue for the last minute Machu Picchu tickets at the office in Aguas Calientes, and I ended up getting trail 2a which is the best classic tour. It was really easy to communicate with the tour company over WhatsApp and I felt the service was extremely personalised. I gave my guide tips but I never felt like he was pushy for them, or at any point that I was being upsold the experience. I am a solo traveller who wanted to get the most informative history and culture tour.
If you’re reading this, you’re likely in the planning stage of a major trip. DO NOT do these experiences with a plug-and-play, copy and paste tour company where you’re just another name on a spreadsheet. You deserve better. Inca Soul makes each of their adventures into a genuinely handcrafted experience. I did the 2-day Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with them (off a recommendation), and it was truly unforgettable. I was lucky enough to have Freddy, the owner, as my guide, and it ended up being a private tour. Freddy gave me so much insight into the history and culture (I asked a lot of questions), and it was real, deep knowledge. Not just surface level script reading. We even had time for local cultural moments and places most tourists don’t get to see. Freddy also shared his story and how Inca Soul is built differently: all their guides are heavily vetted, they pay their staff fairly (not as common here as it should be), and they use only high-quality gear. Everything about the process was transparent. The pricing, the planning, and the expectations. They answered every question, not just during the trip, but well before I even got to Peru. You can tell they actually care about your experience. You may never come back to Peru. MAKE THE MEMORY COUNT. Book with Inca Soul.
We had a great experience! Everything was perfect, from pre-arrangement to tour attendance on the day. As the result was a private tour, we were able to respond to a lot of requests carefully and flexibly. I would love to have another tour when I go to Peru again!
Inca Soul has been amazing at organizing everything when we were in and around Cusco. We took three separate tours on three separate days and each one was handled with care and great guides. Honestly, couldn’t recommend them any higher!
