Best trip to Machu Picchu

Eileen_V, Jul 2026

It was a long journey but worth every minute. We had a guide just for my family. Vilma was fantastic answering our questions and giving us so much information to the history of the place.

The tour company was very detailed in disclosing the full day itinerary. My driver was timely to pick me up in the morning, the train ride you’re kinda by yourself but that’s fine, and a person was there to meet us once we got off the train to walk us to the bus stop. He told us our guide name and then the guide met us at the entrance. My guide was great, super informative, great at taking photos, very engaging. I got C3 tickets because I booked so late, he was very good at making it a great route. I disn’t realize we couldn’t linger inside so I boarded the bus back to Aguas Calientes immediately after and went to get lunch even though it was like 10:45AM. I messaged the WhatsApp number to see if I could change my train time and they never responded. So I just had to kill time till 2:50PM. Make sure if you don’t want to spend a full day in Aguas Calientes, to ask if you can be on an earlier train back. I felt this was a waste. I didn’t need 4 hours here. The train also dropped us off at a different location than where the station was. When I asked the question on WhatsApp, they said it was the same spot. I felt like that was wrong - thankfully I asked a police officer who pointed me to the right area or I would’ve missed the train. The driver meeting us was late and when I messaged them again, I got not response. Thankfully, I saw the driver wall by with a sign with my name on it with a big group. I think pre-trip and getting to Machu Picchu, the communication and plan are all great, but after, they kinda disappear. They should also give an option to be on an earlier train. Not sure I’d book with them again, but the day was okay and I managed to figure out all the hiccups by myself.

Hard to believe was able to see Maccu Picchu in just one day. FYI - you are on your own with respect to getting on the train but was meet with a guide after each step of the way.

This Trip should...

Daniel_L, Mar 2026

This Trip should definitely be on everyone's bucket list. Viator made everything easy to coordinate and I found everyone that was part of this Trip knew exactly how to make the experience over the top!!!

Priceless

John_S, Jan 2026

From start to finish we were treated like Royalty. Rolando at Willka Travel kept in touch every step of the way via WhatsApp and everyone involved made sure that the experience was flawless for my wife and I. Edwin our private guide to Machupicchu was so knowledgeable I wanted to spend a few more days just hanging out with him! 😂 He is a Master of everything Machupicchu and the Incas and region in general. What a gift 🎁 I cannot recommend this experience enough, this experience has definitely impacted me to the core… thank you so much!!

Excellent experience

Thiago_J, Aug 2025

The walk was excellent. The Enterprise Wilka Tour was helpful and professional. However, I ordered the package by chat with VIATOR, and I did not choose it on the site. I explicitly requested that I did not want to have to spend one more day on aquascalientes to stay in line. If it didn't, I'd never buy. But Viator sold me like that. WHEN I BUYED the NO RE-EMBOLSAVEL package, I found out I would have to spend a day in aquascalientes. I mean, everything I didn't ask for. I advise to contact Wilka directly, and not pay the commission from Viator that was, as they do not worry and comply with the combined.
