We were a group from Langdale Holidays in the UK guided by Alberto and Julio. At Winay Wayna one of our group fell and had an epileptic fit. Alberto sent Julio on to the nearby cafe / campsite to get porters whilst he dealt very professionally with the casualty and the remainder of the group. At all times he was calm and reassuring. When the porters arrived Alberto went with them and the casualty while Julio led the rest of the group to continue the trek (the casualty was eventually OK and rejoined our activities us in Cusco.)

All of the time Alberto was with us, (the next day too) he impressed us with his professionalism (particularly his pacing of the walk to the ability of the participants) and his knowledge of the Incas and their trails, and of the flora and fauna. We have been on many guided events all over the world and he is amongst the best. (I was a qualified UK Joint Services (Army, Navy, Air Force) Mountain Leader, so I know a good one when I see one!)

Julio, too, impressed. When he took over we thought that he would just take us on to Machu Picchu, but he stopped many times to tell us of the local flowers and birds, and not only did his knowledge appear good, but his enthusiasm for his environment was very evident.

We shall recommend Enigma to our friends, and when we return to Peru we shall use you directly.
Please pass on our congratulations and best wishes to Alberto and Julio. Thanks!.

In general, a really wonderful experience and our guide, Alberto, was very professional, patient, reliable, timely and gave us a lot of great information throughout the journey. He always made sure we were well- prepared for the day, and even helped my mother buy a pair of shoes (when hers broke during our trek) so She could enjoy the second day of her hike. An unforgettable experience! Awesome! Legendary!!

He and his assistant Mila took great time with Joe’s needs. This was a memorable experience and more so because of Franklin’s attention to and our group.
Also we had a medical problem with one of our students who couldn’t come & he made arrangements for the group leader who stayed behind to join us later.
