Phenomenal Service!!!

ANTHONY_D, Mar 2026

I have never signed up for a tour in all my years of using Viator that came with this level of service thanks to Steve! The provider was very professional, responsive, and reached out to us multiple times before, during and after the excursion to make sure we were doing well and that everything was going as planned. They came to our hotel the day before to meet and go over all the details and tickets so there were no surprises and everything was incredibly detailed and straightforward. On the day of, the drivers were all on time to and from the train station, the train ride was fun, and the time spent in Aquas Calientes was sufficient to do some shopping and grab lunch before heading to Machu Picchu. We had a wonderful time and never felt that we were alone. There were staff at every step of the journey, from people waiting to meet you when you get off the train to your guide to MP. The tour has been really thought out, and I could not have imagined the day going any better.

Very good organised....

Very good organised. Would recommend to friends and Famiky. I thought about booking everything myself but machu pichu is a little difficult, so i am glad i used this.

The best decision we did was to book our experience from this agency. Steven reached out to as immediately as soon as we booked the tour. He made everything seamless and we did not have to worry about a single thing. He met up with us 2 days prior the tour to explain what would happen and gave us freebies. 5 stars for this tour!

Very well organized....
