When we reached Machu Picchu, our tour guide was already waiting for us. Her name is Lucy, and she stayed with us the whole time. Lucy was incredible—knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient. She explained everything in great detail and made the whole visit feel more meaningful. We also took plenty of photos, and she always waited for us without rushing, which made the experience…”
