Traveler Comments

Initially we did not have the greatest experience when we boarded the train as our seats were not together. Since Machu Picchu was our main reason for coming to Peru and we were very excited to board the train to go there, we were very disappointed by the seat arrangement. However, we contacted Sara and her team to let her know and to check on our returning seats. Not only did she confirm our returning seats, she really exceeded our expectations and somehow was able to contact the train, even though it had already left the station. The manager on the train came and found us, personally moved us to seats where we could be together and made the experience amazing! We were very surprised that Sara was able to do this and did not expect it at all. It showed the highest level of customer service! Very impressed!
