Mejor Compañía Turística en Perú Nuestro guía era Franklin y era el mejor. Era un grupo pequeño, así que podíamos solicitar paradas de baño adicionales o descansos para comer algo. Frank era tan conocedor y era de la zona. Realmente hizo la gira. Su personalidad era contagiosa. Nos encantó Franklin y recomendaría esta compañía. El recorrido fue impresionante.

Gran experiencia! Usé Cachi Life para reservar un guía privado para dos circuitos de Machu Picchu. Mi guía era José Luis y era genial. Me recibió en mi hotel, y fue una experiencia perfecta conseguir boletos de autobús y llegar al sitio. Él estaba bien informado, sabía los mejores momentos para entrar en los circuitos, y conocía los mejores spots de fotos. Fue paciente y me dejó tomar tantas fotos como quería! También pudo ajustar el recorrido para complementar un circuito que ya había hecho el día anterior.

¡El mejor viaje! Thanks to CachiLifePeru Mi esposa y yo acabamos de regresar de un viaje de dos semanas a Perú, todo el viaje lo hicimos con Cachi Life, especialmente con David y Frank. Fue un tour privado que incluyó varios destinos, todos ellos realizados íntegramente para nosotros dos, con coche privado y siempre en compañía de ellos. Su profesionalidad fue evidente desde el principio: presupuestos enviados por correo electrónico, asistencia en la planificación del itinerario, y se encargaron de comprar todas las entradas para atracciones y actividades. El viaje comenzó en Lima, y pasamos por Paracas, Huacachina, Ica, Nazca, Cañón del Colca, Arequipa, Lago Titicaca, Puno, Valle Sagrado y Cusco, con excursiones a las Montañas Arco Iris, Huayna Pichu y Machu Pichu. ¿Qué puedo decir? Fue simplemente el viaje más hermoso de nuestras vidas. Descubrimos un país maravilloso no solo por sus lugares y vistas, sino también, y sobre todo, por su cultura y gente local. Gracias a Cachi Life, entramos en contacto con la auténtica cultura peruana, comiendo comida tradicional en cada ciudad, apoyando a la comunidad de comida callejera y descubriendo los valoresestas maravillosas personas comparten. No sentimos que tuviéramos un viaje turístico, sino más bien una experiencia única e inolvidable con dos personas expertas y profesionales, enamoradas de su país ysu cultura. Gracias Cachi Life Perú, y especialmente David y Frank; nunca te olvidaremos!

Love Cachi Life! My mom and I had a private 3 nights /4day Salkantay trek with Cachi Life. Upon booking our trip (while in Canada) David was very helpful through WhatsApp and email. He answered all my questions and sent pictures of the tickets for Machu Picchu in advance. Before the trek, David arrived at our hotel in Cusco with our guide and gave us a great briefing about what to expect for the trek. The trek with our guide, Adrian was amazing. Adrian, our cook and horseman were kind and helpful throughout the whole trip. They always ensured we were happy. The food was delicious, the trek was beautiful and the tent /sleeping bags were comfortable.We recommend Cachi Life for safe, fun and local experience.

Excellent guide and tour with Cachi Life! We had the most wonderful two days with our Cachi Life guide, Franklin, touring Sacred Valley (Moray, Maras, Chinchero, Ollantaytambo and Machu Pichu). He was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and had a clear love for his country which helped us learn and appreciate the things we were seeing and the lands we were standing on. He took his time to point out details that we would have never noticed had we decided to tour on our own. We never felt rushed through any of the sites and he took the time to answer our questions (especially our son who had so many questions!!). David, the owner of Cachi Life, is also Franklins brother. It was nice to know we were working with a local owned company. David was also very responsive to our questions while we were planning. Our experience in sacred valley and Machu Pichu would not nearly be what it was without Franklin. Highly highly recommended Cachi Life!!

Gran viaje a Perú con la ayuda de Cachi Life! Me comuniqué con David con Cachi Life cuando comencé el proceso de planificación de nuestro viaje a Perú. David era tan agradable y me ayudó a incluir ver casi todo lo que queríamos en nuestro corto viaje de 7 días! ¡Él respondió a todas mis preguntas! Cuando llegamos a Cusco se reunió con nosotros para asegurarse de que conocíamos nuestro itinerario y de nuevo respondió a todas nuestras preguntas. Su hermano Frank era un guía turístico increíble! Él era tan conocedor de la historia y la cultura. Siempre se aseguró de que tuviéramos mucho tiempo viendo todo lo que queríamos y nunca nos sentimos apresurados. Recomiendo encarecidamente utilizar Cachi Life cuando se necesita un guía turístico en Perú!
