Great Service!!!

Isaac was a great tour guild for trip to Rainbow Mountain. We were a little unsure what we wanted to do, and booked last minute, and he was great to communicate with and get back to us quickly. We booked a private tour and he was a great driver and got us there before most of the tour buses. We rented mules, which was a little crazy, glad we had him, since they totally tried to overcharge us. He walked up on the pedestrian trail, keeping up with the horse most of the way. That’s pretty dang impressive! He was kind and patient with us. He spoke good English and provided an all-around great experience.
But what really made me impressed with Isaac is as he was dropping us off, he told us to make sure to gather all our belongings. My daughter of course left her favorite hat in his van. She was so upset, that I sent Isaac a text asking if we could find a place to meet up the next day to get it back. We had a tour the next day until 3 pm and we agreed to meet up after. Our tour that day went two hours over, and when we returned to our hotel Isaac had already dropped the hat off for my daughter. Talk about above and beyond service. We will definitely book with them again!!!

We are an adventuresome family that enjoys having freedom and flexibility when traveling. Because of this, we were seriously considering renting a car to travel throughout the Sacred Valley, Humantay Lake, and Rainbow Mountain. The lack of parking in the historical section of Cusco as well as rental car clauses that negated insurance when traveling off the asphalt persuaded us to hire Isaac instead. What a great decision!!! We spent 3 full days with him and had a wonderful experience!! Isaac is one of those rare individuals that instinctively understands when the group is eager for a guide, and when we are tired from the days excursion and just want to relax. He understood when our group wanted him to come along with us on a hike, and when it was better to give us a little space. He speaks excellent english, and is extremely knowledgeable about all of the sights in Cusco and throughout the region. He is also an extremely nice and interesting person, having grown up in a small, extremely rural village, worked as a trekking porter for years, and then ultimately put himself through “tourism school” and formed his own business and become an official guide. His van is large, modern and comfortable, and even comes with a couple of oxygen tanks for those that need it when suffering altitude sickness. He is also a very safe driver, and his prices are extremely fair. I can’t recommend a better guide/driver for your Peruvian adventure!!!

Outstanding tourist guide, Isaac
We travelled to Sacred valley and Cusco region for 1 week during Dec 2019. Right from start we were greeted and taken good care by Isaac and his team in guiding us to one of a kind spots in this region. Isaac was very mindful in planning out trip and ensured the comfort of our family (we travelled with our toddler). He is extremely knowledgeable about the entire Urubamba region and the fascinating history of Incas. During our day trip to Chinceros, I suffered severe altitude sickness (@4000 meter) having breathing difficulties and losing my conscious. However, Isaac was proactive and immediately provided me oxygen and followed up monitoring my oxygen saturation and pulse. I am thankful to Isaac for prioritizing on our safety and quickly turning the bad incident to just a minor lapse.
Thanks again to Chacras. Looking forward to traveling to beautiful Peru soon.

Isaac is the man! We are a family of 5 and Isaac picked us up from Cusco airport in his super comfy van and took us straight to Ollantaytambo. He has an endless amount of knowledge of the history of Peru and speaks perfect English. He’s super flexible and we spent many enjoyable hours with Isaac experiencing the wonders of Peru. Isaac was also very prompt in replying to emails and very helpful in planning our very successful week. We highly recommend Isaac 🙂

Fantastic and wonderful service around Cusco area
Isaac did a fantastic job in designing our 6 days trip to Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Rainbow Valley. As this trip is for our 25th wedding anniversary, we wanted to make it special and Isaac found many unique boutique hotels, restaurants and customized our trip to our needs. Isaac is also trained in Emergency Medical procedure which was helpful. As I had high altitude sickness for most of the trip, he prepared and packed 2 oxygen tanks in case I needed it climbing Rainbow valley. My wife lost her mobile phone in Ollantaytambo and he went out of his way to help and we were very appreciative of his efforts. He is very thoughtful, courteous and kind. Because the tour was just my wife and I, we were able to custom tailor the trip to our needs and he was very flexible when we needed changes throughout the trip. He is a reliable, dependable and knowledgeable guide. We will definitely highly recommend him and use his service again.

This was our first time in Peru and we feel so fortunate we found Isacc. We had Isacc for 2 days of tours and he also picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. He speaks perfect English and is knowledgeable about everything Cusco and the surrounding towns have to offer. He was flexible and helped us to create 2 days of unforgettable travel memories. I’m not sure when we will return to Cusco but when we do we will use Isacc again without question.

Amazing amazing amazing. The pick-up was simple and on time. He took us to rainbow mountains where we got on the horses and had the tour. We had a private tour. Nothing was rushed. He even took us to some awesome local restaurants! We got to Cusco late and most tours start at 5/6am but we were able to get him last minute and he picked us up at 12pm!!!! We ended tour around 6/7. If it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have been able to get it done at all. Amazing. I recommend to everyone!!!! Amazing price as well and fast responses I had written him at 12am when I landed in Lima and my flight arrived at 8:30an in Cusco and he had already had everything ready for us! We felt saved and cared for the entire time! When my friend had a hard time breathing bc of altitude he took care of her!! Honestly just amazing. Very accommodating! I will be back and will use him again!

The best!
Many people have said it, but Isaac is amazing and has demoted other tour guides and company’s for me, he is the gold standard. And I have traveled to 25 countries.
We originally planned just one tour with him to lake Humantay. We needed to leave from Cusco and be dropped off in Ollantaytambo. That meant we’d need a private tour and transfer. I found Chacras website, and Isaac responded straight away on WhatsApp. He offered us a good price, his van had oxygen, and we gave it a go.
When you are with Isaac, you feel like a team. He isn’t leading you around; you’re exploring together. Because he is both a guide and a driver, you get the best of both worlds.
For the Humantay Lake tour, he walked us to the head of the trail and then was there waiting for us when we returned. He then drove us back through the pass before it closed an onwards to Ollantaytambo. He named us “champions” for our speedy hike.
So, we arranged another tour with him the very next day, this time a tour of the sacred valley : Ollantaytambo, Moray, Maras, Chinchero, Huillac village. Another great day. We avoided the crowds since we made our own schedule together, he explained everything in terms of Inca history. took photos of us, and waited for us patiently when we got distracted by some amazing alpaca clothing.
So, guess what? We arranged a final transfer with Isaac a few days later going from Cusco to Puno. Again, good price and flexibility to stop, etc.
Isaac is fun, experienced, interesting, super flexible. His prices are competitive and in many cases, much better value than what other tours are offering. He gives you great advice about other parts of Peru. I wish I’d known about him when I planned the trip! We strongly recommended him, you will not regret arranging any tour or transfer with this man. We literally spent the rest of the trip saying “if only we had Isaac…”
