The 2 days Machu Picchu...
The 2 days Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley tour was very worth it. There are so many things to see, but the time allocated for each site is sufficient, there is no rush from places to places, everything was well organized and the instruction is clear. Our guide Christian is very knowledgeable and friendly. He shared a lot of things with the group and patiently answer our questions. This tour is highly recommended if you do not have the luxury of time to explore the area.

Great experience to see...
Great experience to see one of the wonders of the world...I did a same day trip from Cusco...it was a lot of traveling from shuttles to buses to trains...if I did it again, I would stay a night or 2 in Agua Calientes to not be so rushed...that said, the tour was well organized, all the staff were friendly and helpful...my tour guide (Francisco??) was great and Machu Picchu is a must see

Wonderful experience
This experience was unforgettable. It’s incredibly complicated to get to and from Machupicchu, and our guides made it as seamless as possible. Our tourguide was amazing, very thoughtful and knowledgeable. This was an absolutely amazing experience and I would highly recommend booking with this team in the future.

Simply wow! Experience of a lifetime
It was a once in a lifetime experience brought alive by the Luis our guide. Even though we reached Machu Picchu at a time when nothing was visible, he kept us engaged for a full 2 hours. He also explained to us where we could wait for the best views until the weather clears, which it eventually did. Must visit! And ask for guide Luis

Wonderful guide to see and learn about Machu Picchu!!
My guide, Abraham, met me as planned at the train station and efficiently guided me to the shuttle bus and on to Circuit 2 to see Machu Picchu! He did a wonderful job explaining the sights to me and taking multiple photos for me to remember this special time in his country. Thank you!!

Everything we wanted and more!
Jorge Elder was a great guide. He took his time with us, gave us a lot of great information, and overall history about Machu Picchu. He took us to a nice restaurant after the tour was over which we appreciated. We loved everything about the tour, the weather was perfect and the views were amazing. If you take this tour choose circuit C2, this allows you to see everything. The overall hike took about 2.5 hours.

Great and informative stay to Mach Picchu
The start of our trip was a bit complicated because the Company forgot that be booked a 2 circles private visit. The rest of the visit was perfect. Edgar our guide was great and very well informed on Inca history, political situation and living circumstances. We enjoyed the trip and the guidance to Machu Picchu very much and had a great time. The booking was absolutely worth its price.

Machu Picchu tour
Wilson is fun guide, very knowledgable with inka heritage and history of machu picchu. We take time in each view point, give us time to catch our breath and drink water. He took really cool pictures . He is highly recommended.

Breathtaking
Machu Picchu is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The ancient Inca city sits high in the Andes surrounded by lush green mountains and clouds that make the whole place feel almost magical. Walking through the stone terraces, temples, and pathways gives you a real sense of the history and engineering brilliance of the Inca civilization. It’s a challenging trip to get there, but the views and the atmosphere make it absolutely worth it. A true bucket-list destination.

Excellent Tour Guide and View
Jonny, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Machu Picchu and surrounding areas. He brought his fact book and explained a lot of things we would never be able to find online. The vistadome train was terrific. We got nice views, food, and entertainment along our way to and back from Machu Picchu. It’s a lifetime experience we will never forget.

Well Coordinated Machu Picchu Adventure
This was a well coordinated trip including interesting sites. You’ll need WhatsApp to communicate with your team. The guides were prompt, courteous, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. Advisable to arrive a day early and take it easy to adjust to the altitude in Cusco. We would have liked one more day in Urubamba added to the end after Machu Picchu before returning home.
