What are people saying about Cusco

Ashwin_B, Oct 2026

An unforgettable journey to Machu Picchu

An unforgettable day trip. Circuit 1 gives you the classic panoramic viewpoint over the entire Machu Picchu citadel, and seeing it spread out below you is simply breathtaking. The journey itself was a highlight. The train to Machu Picchu follows the river through spectacular scenery, with live music, entertainment, and snacks served along the way. The bus ride up from the station is a short 20 minutes of winding hairpin turns that is genuinely fun. One tip: bring bug spray if you plan to linger at the viewpoint, because the bugs are relentless. The return train is plainer, with no food or entertainment, but that is a small tradeoff. The operator handled every leg of the logistics from Cusco seamlessly. Highly recommended.

2-Day Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu

Juan Fabrizio (sp) was an amazing and professional tour guide. From the moment he picked us up at the hotel till we parted our separate ways after our Machu Picchu tour, we appreciated his kindness and knowledge of Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo, Pisa’s, Textile, and Sacred Valley. He gave the kids time to take their selfie-photos but shared information along the way. We can only say that after coming home, the family continues talking about this trip and Juan.

Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Adventure with ATV

Rebecca_E, Oct 2026

Rainbow Mountain-a must, well worth the effort!

ATV’s easy to master. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly short incline beyond the plaque to the point where you can see Rainbow Mountain. Listen to the guide, take his help & if needs be ride pillion on back of motorcycle (or ride a horse). It’s a sight you must see - extra special as young condor’s were flying about too! But the altitude must be respected, so take your time & enjoy trip

Best cooking class in Cusco!

AMAZING class with Jesus! Food was incredible and very easy to accommodate the food restrictions in our group. We had a vegetarian and I have alpha gal, both of which were easy to accommodate without any hassle. Jesus is very personable and funny and clearly a great chef. One of our favorite things we’ve done in Peru

Best planned Machu Pichu and Sacred Valley Tour

Amazing tour. Everything from pick up to the day 1 experience of salt mimes and sacred valley and Andean village was well planned with informative narrative from the guide. The train ride is very beautiful with a surprise music and dance car for a period of the train ride. The hotel was clean and comfortable and was booked by the tour. The 2nd day had an early start which was a good decision and everything from the bus ticket to the machu pichu 2A circuit tickets were booked for us by our guide. So the whole experience was seamless. The information provided by our tour guide was in depth . Also the beauty of site is something that can’t be expressed in words and even pictures. Though we did have some amazing pictures with our family. It is definitely worth the trip and can be seen why this is one of the wonders of the world and a heritage site.

Excellent experience!

The tour was really well run. Our guide, Jesse, was knowledgeable, funny, and patient. They provided water for us, and the van and driver, John, were excellent. We had plenty of solo time at the sites for pictures and exploration. And the visit to the alpacas and llamas was a great finale. I would highly recommend this tour.

What a great day! John,...

What a great day! John, Alex, and Christian were fantastic and led a great experience for all of us. It was nice to leave later in the morning because it wasn’t as crowded as it states in the description. John was our guide was always checking on us to make sure we were okay getting up the mountain! He made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He gave us some cool fun facts about the mountains on the way up too. The lunch at the end of the hike was also great. Nothing but good things to say about our experience. Thank you again!

Worth every cent

Its a very long day, take sunscreen (we got badly burnt and had.it on), and its incredibly physical, our guide Francisco was incredible, my husband has mobility issues and Francisco was patient and helpful, his knowledge made the tour exceptional and he could move people on when we needed a photo!! All up and exceptional experience, thankyou to Francisco also, only downside was our train home derailed, but that's another review

2-Day Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu – Vistadome & 4-Star Hotel

Max_T, Sept 2026

Unforgettable 2 day experience

The short 2 day Inca Trail is a definite highlight if you want to see Machu Picchu. You don't need to be marathon fit to complete this, but do make sure that you are acclimated to the altitude before you go. Sunscreen, lots of water and bug spray is a must! Patience, endurance and a positive attitude will get you to the top! Appreciate your guides and porters, they are well trained and very accommodating. Without them, it will be way tougher.

Machu Picchu Full Day Tour from Cusco with Panoramic Train

Amanda_S, Sept 2026

This was such a great...

This was such a great experience. All of the transportation steps were easy to follow. I’m seriously terrible with directions, so I was a little nervous when I read some of the other reviews from people saying they were confused about where to get the train, bus, etc. If you pay attention to the signs and instructions given to you by the staff, it doesn’t seem possible to get lost. The panoramic train was a lot of fun. You get a little snack and a drink, like what you’d get on an airplane. In the open viewing carriage, there are 2 guys playing live music and everyone was dancing. I was dying when they started playing the Macarena lol. The tour guide I had for Machu Picchu was Antony and he was amazing. There were only 3 people in our whole group. I was traveling solo and then there was another couple. He took tons of pictures and there were times when it felt like he was doing a full on photoshoot with everyone. I’m not in shape at all and I wasn’t really prepared for all of the steep steps, but Antony was so nice and patient and made sure I could get up and down safely. I did Circuit 3B, which I think is supposed to be the easiest route, but FYI “easiest” doesn’t mean “easy.” There are a lot of big rock steps to climb up and down without handrails. Going up the steps is physically difficult if you’re out of shape like me, but it’s worth it. Going down the steps is harder because it’s more mentally difficult and scary, but Antony walked with me and made sure I didn’t fall and crack my head open. The weather was a little rainy and the views weren’t ideal since it was foggy, but I actually thought the fog made it look cooler. The tour itself started around 10am and ended around 12pm. My return train ticket was for 4pm, so I had a lot of time to kill in Aguas Calientes where there’s not a ton to do. So just be prepared to have a few boring hours at the end. Overall it was an awesome experience and I’m so glad I didn’t have to figure out the transportation logistics on my own!

Machu Picchu Day Trip from Cusco: Full-Day Guided Tour

Averi_F, Aug 2026

Awesome experience!

My boyfriend and I did the one day Machu Picchu tour with Happy Gringos and we loved it! We were supposed to go August 5th but there was a rockslide on the train tracks and Happy Gringo rescheduled us to the next day free of any extra charge and handled getting us the new train tickets and ensuring that our Machu Picchu Tickets were honored for the next day. Our only complaint is that we weren’t sitting next to each other on the way back on the train but other than that it was a great. Our favorite part was Mauro, our amazing tour guide of Machu Picchu!

Machu Picchu Full Day from Cusco

Arvis_S, July 2026

The best Machu Picchu tour with Julio

This was the best tour. Julio was great from start to finish. He knew a lot about Machu Picchu, but explained everything in a relaxed and interesting way, not like a rehearsed lecture. He was patient, easy to talk to, and made sure we stopped at the best spots for pictures. He also took some really good photos of us. We had an amazing day and would definitely recommend him.
