Excellent Tour with a Couple of Considerations

Angelee_R, May 2024

INCREDIBLE. The 2 day tour is where it's at. Every destination is more breathtaking than the next. All of the guides were professional and courteous. Ulysses was our guide at Machu Picchu and he was excellent. Very funny, animated, and informative. Be prepared for lots of time spent in busses and trains. You will almost certainly arrive at least 1 hour later than expected to every place so keep that in mind when planning return flights, etc. This wasn't the fault of the tour organizer, just seems to be the way peru operates. Expect large crowds at every site and tons of vendors trying to sell you things at every turn. The hotel we got in Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu Adventure, was not great. Very loud and very bright. If you need a good sleep consider booking your own hotel as there are some nice ones around. We also booked the panoramic train option but didn't get it. We got refunded for the error but ultimately, the train we got was just fine with lots of huge windows to observe the incredible landscape. Final tips: read the Google reviews for restaurants in Aguas Calientes carefully as some of them are terrible and sketchy. Also buy your souvenirs in Ollatayntambo as they will be much cheaper than Aguas Calientes and its all the same stuff.

Just wow!

The whole trip was amazing and so well organised. We really enjoyed the sacred valley, but nothing topped Machu Piccu. We were lucky with the weather and got some great shots.

Excellent ezperience

The Trip to the sacred valley, Pisac, Ollantaytambo was excellent. Jimmybour guide expressed himself very well and knew a lot. Then we took the train to Aguas Calientes and the next tour had a great guide, Fernando, who allowed us to take our time in Machu Pichu. Fernando was the best guide we had so far.
