I enjoyed the trip very much. The transfer from Cusco to Puno and to the airport in Juliaca worked very well. The boat trip on the lake was great, the host family on the island very hospitable.The tour guide on the lake was friendly and helpful.
One thing which could be improved is the response time to whatsapp requests. Sometimes, I had to wait the whole day, e.g. for the time of pickups for transports.
Best regards,
Petr

Poor communication from Quechuas; had to wait until after 5pm on the day before I knew pick up time from hotel. They were also unable to tell me who the tour guide was going to be. Each part of tour seemed to be contracted out to other individuals. Our bus was late into Puno due to roadworks, therefore our transfer to an unknown hotel was not there when we arrived. Thankfully a guide on the bus was able to help. Once we boarded the boat at Puno, the tour improved with a guide. There was quite a lot of hiking up hills at altitude, which was not explained clearly enough in description. My partner who was struggling with his breathing had to miss part of the tour due to the hills involved. Overall the tour was ok but could be much better if each stage of the journey was explained in detail.

Visiting the floating island was very interesting, we learned how people live on the islands (men go to town to find jobs, children get a boat to school, etc). They showed us how the island was made, gave a bit of history of how they came to be and invited us into their houses. The woman we spent most time with has two teenage children and is obviously doing what she can to support and care for them. I will admit, we both felt a bit ambiguous as there was a hard sell for merchandise (seemingly made in China) and we all felt pressured to pay a fee to take a "traditional" boat to the next stop, but I guess it helps the families out.
The second island was enjoyable and beautiful, we were able to get out of the boat and walk around, see the small town. They seemed to have a hard time that 3 of us were vegetarian, but eventually we got some rice and veggies.
With only a day n Puno, this was a reasonable way to see a bit of the lake and get a sense of how some people live there.
It was a large group, kind of a floating bus and you spend a lot of time on the boat!

This was a good trip. We had to prod the company a couple times for information on pickup times and then a company under a different name actually ran the tour - which was fine. They all seem to offer the same thing. Our guide gave us the option of a short hike to see the condors which was great because it got us away from the other tour buses.

I have had the absolute worst experience with this company Quechuas Expeditions and 100% do not book with them. I booked “Machu Picchu Tour by train full day from Cusco.” With Quechuas Expeditions. The private transfer from my hotel to the train was great (I even forgot my passport and the driver drove me back to the hotel to get it-so nice). The train ride was great. The bus ride to the entrance of Machu Picchu was great. That’s where the problem started. We found our tour guide provided by Quechuas Expeditions. He asked to see the tickets that Quechuas Expeditions provided to enter Machu Picchu. We showed him our tickets and he said “oh this ticket is no longer valid. But if you give me 150 soles per person and I can buy you valid tickets.” The really nice couple from Europe who was on the tour with us immediately opened their wallets and gave this tour guide 300 soles for “valid tickets.” I am American and not so nice. I said “absolutely not I don’t believe you and I need to speak with the agency.” He said “go ahead and call.” I started calling the agency at 11:49am 21 times. Not a single response until 12:09. TWENTY minutes later. And it was only a text message. I didn’t get a call back until 12:26. FORTY-SIX minutes later. My entry ticket was at NOON. And worst of all I could see that they were being read due to all of it being on WhatsApp. I threaten legal action. Nothing. I threaten going to the police. Nothing. I threaten reporting them to the US embassy. Nothing. BUT the entire time they were on the phone with the tour guide who is trying to rip me off. I obviously took a picture of the guides ID that he has around his neck and even sent it to the agency. Nothing. I decided to just enter Machu Picchu with my “invalid” ticket. And surprise….it worked. As I am in the most magical place almost done with my self guided tour, finally the agency calls me only to inform me “there are two narratives to the story and we need to find out which one is true.” SO I AM A LIAR. Great. I asked for my money back. He said no. The only thing he offered was another tour guide. You think that I want to deal with another tour guide after the first tour guide you provided that tried to scam me. Andddd who successfully scammed the European couple we were on tour with? They did NOTHING to rectify this situation. This is a dream location. One of the seven wonders of the world RUINED by this agency: Quechuas Expeditions
