Our flight arrived just in time for the start of day 1 of the tour. There was someone already waiting for us in Cusco Airport, he took us to our hotel and the tour started right away. Great environment, the tour guides we're very friendly and informative. We had all of our tickets delivered and explained to us in the spot and the guides were always available to solve any question. Great experience, highly recommended. PS: If you can try to reach Cusco one or two days beforehand, the altitude really affects you, luckily Macchu Picchu is not that high.
