Edgar was our guide. He has many many years of experience. This was obvious throughout the 2.5 hours he spent with us. He went into a lot of details on the history and archeology of Machu Pichu. After going through the difficulties of coming to Machu picchu it was nice to learn all about it. I felt bad for the people that didnt have tour guides. They walked quickly through taking pictures of things they dont understand and keep walking. They will go home with a lot of pictures and no clue what they took pictures of. This tour definitely cost more than what people pay for the tour guides they acquire at the begining of the bus stop. But I saw those tour guides just walking and talking (so they could quickly get to their next customer) . They didnt stop a lot like Edgar did and take the time to explain things. So you get what you paid for. We spent a lot of money to get here and I didnt want to skimp on understanding the story behind this wonder of the world.
Edgar also took our phones and took lots of pictures at the best spots and viewing points. Would recommend. Bring suntan lotion, wide brim hat, pancho, hiking pants water resistant, metal water bottle to keep water cold, power bank. Back pack , hiking boots, sunglasses

FLY CUSCO PERU Tour team made our Machu Picchu trip very successful! When we booked Machu Picchu tour tickets from them in Feb, they advised us to buy which time train ticket. The day we took train to there, Rayza from fly cuzco Peru sent us all of tickets documents. She kept communicating with us all the time. She told us how to meet their team member in train station. When we arrived, Mr Fernando met us and accompany us to our hotel. He told us take a rest. He will come back at 12:30. At 12.230, he came took us to bus station. We waited around one hour in line, so did him. When we got to bus, he text his team member in Machu Picchu our bus number. When we got off bus, I heard someone called my name. That was tour guide Mr Martin Aranda called me. That time, my husband got sick. He could not go up. Martin was a very care person. He helped my husband seat some place. Then he and me did circuit 2. He is very knowledgeable about all of areas. His English is so good and easy to understand. He told me story and history every places we passed. He help to take photos of me and picked very good photo locations. Few times when we were in good location, he reminded me whatapp my husband and share Machu Picchu beauty with him. I was moved by his care! After we out of bus in town, he was worry about my husband and. accompanied us to hotel. I highly appreciate Fly Cuzco Peru team work, many thanks to all of them.

Beautiful scenery and interesting history. Be sure to carry lots of water and wear sturdy shoes for lots of stairs. Strongly recommend hiring a guide.

It was very good. The guide Judith met us the day before our trip & explained very thing in detail & the next day met us on time & guided us through out. Also both of us being senior citizens, she was very helpful. Machu Picchu was awesome. Thank you.

My mom and I reserved this tour for Machu Picchu, and we were so glad we had a guided tour. Our guide, Martín, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He met us at the bus stop in Aguas Calientes to go up to Machu Picchu, and once there, explained at every stop the historical significance of each rock and structure. He’s also a great photographer! We have so many great memories of this trip because of Martín. Highly recommend you book with him!

Our guide was deeply knowledgable, not only about the details of Inca culture and technology, but about the spiritual dimension as well. He was really something of a philosopher as well as tour guide, and responded knowledgable but also thoughtfully to our many questions. He gave us plenty of room for our own contemplation and was generous with his time. He seemed to appreciate that though we wanted some good photos, we also wanted to just be as fully present as possible in this magic place.

Amazing, start to finish! Yudi was a fantastic guide! She was so knowledgeable and efficient! She knew all the best spots for photos and made sure we got a ton of pictures. She was so helpful answering our many questions about everything from plant life to history and more. We are not very athletic and she made sure we moved at a pace we were comfortable with, giving us breaks as needed. Would 100% recommend!

This was a truly incredible tour. Whatsapp communication was very good. We were met at the hotel and taken to the bus up to Machu Picchu where we met our guide Martin who was just sensational.
The ticket was for the classic route 2 through the Citadel and Martin's knowledge and enthusiasm for the place was obvious. He also took some amazing photos for us and there was no rush, we had loads of time to absorb the surroundings (and climb up and down a lot of steps!).
Thank you Martin for an incredible experience

Rugged terrain , tours there are very structured and well organized, nice young lady with good English

Our visit to Machu Picchu was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible tour guide, Martin. From start to finish, Martin impressed us with his deep knowledge of Inca history and the fascinating stories behind the ruins. He had a natural way of making the past come alive, and his passion for the site was truly contagious.
What really stood out, though, was Martin’s kindness and attentiveness. My mom was recovering from an arm injury during the trip, and Martin went out of his way to make sure she was comfortable and safe every step of the way. His thoughtfulness and care made a big difference, and we’re so grateful for the extra support he provided.
Martin is the kind of guide who goes above and beyond, and we can’t recommend him highly enough for anyone planning a visit to Machu Picchu.

It was an amazing experience. We had a great time. The inca citadel was spectacular, very impresive. My kids love it.
Laurence_H, Mar 2025
Yudi, our guide, was professional and fun as well as being respectful of my limited mobility issues because of the altitude and heart issues. We were very fortunate to have sunshine during our Machu Picchu tour and we could see the surrounding mountains. We know others who were not so fortunate.
A personal tour was perfect so that we could move at our own pace and have one-on-one with our knowledgeable guide.
James_C, Jan 2025
Our visit to Machu Picchu was an amazing experience, made even better by our guide Renee (sp?) who shared so much knowledge of the history and culture. He met us at our hotel the night before to explain what to expect and the guided us every step of the way.
Leslye_F, Nov 2024
Rayza helped with organizing our tour. There were a few hiccups with communication given our schedule but she was able to accommodate us and things worked out perfectly. She was in constant communication with us. Our tour guide Yudi was phenomenal. We have done a lot of tours over the past years at various places and she was exceptional. Patient, informative and allowed us time to take pictures, explain about Macchu Pichu and the Inca Trail. She gave us great pointers and little known facts about MP and overall was just a vast of knowledge and a pleasure to spend the day with. We recommend this trip and especially Yudi as your guide. Make sure you bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent. We weren’t told this in advance and the mosquitos can be annoying.

Absolutely incredible tour company. Professional, timely, responsive, and service oriented. Our guide was Gregory and he was one of the best guides we’ve had in 25 years of taking tours. He is a true asset to the company and the team. Overall the entire organization was exceptional. Highly recommended.
Sarah_H, May 2024
Our guide, Jorge, was amazing. He spoke basically fluent English which was great for our group who lacks the ability to speak Spanish well. Everything was on time. Jorge was extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain everything to us.

Great experience seeing Machu Picchu! Eddie our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. We arrive late at night and the tour company sent someone over to our Airbnb with our tickets and instructions. Great experience

Our Guide was Wonderful:
Best—Seeing the Inca City, temple, learning about the people who lived there, seeing the amazing natural beauty. Our guide was very knowledgeable, made great recommendations, helped members of our party who needed it.
Isobel_I, May 2023
Miguel was the best tour guide we could have asked for. He met us at our hotel in Aguas Calientes and rode the bus up to Machu Picchu together. We completed Circuit 2 and we stopped many times to learn about the history of Machu Picchu and he pointed out many things we would have missed on our own. He tailored the tour to our interests and stopped many times for us to catch our breath. It was nice to have a conversation with the guide rather than be in a group tour where the guide provides info but it is more like an announcement and not a conversation. Our guide also took many many stunning photos of us.
This is the best way to experience Machu Picchu, I recommend you book this once in a life time experience!

I wanted to personally thank Juan Carlos for making my visit to Manchu Picchu an unforgettable experience. He took a lot of time and care to make sure the day was planned perfectly, came to my hotel the night before to go over it. His knowledge of the history and ecology of the area was amazing. He took beautiful photos of me that will serve as a lifetime reminder of the magic of Machu Picchu.

It was all in all very interesting and very nice. We were picked up from our hostel and taken to the bus. Upstairs in front of the entrance of Machu Picchu, our German-speaking tour guide picked us up. I would book it again.

Machu Picchu is fantastic. The tour guide was on time, very interested , even with the tickets everything worked smoothly. In some places it was a bit too much narrative for me, I wanted to focus even more on Machu Picchu, but basically everything was okay.

J'ai adore ma visite guide a Machu Picchu. Mais....j'avait demande et payer pour le circuit #2. Le lendemain je recoit un message disant qu'il n'y avait pas de place disponible, seulement le circuit #1. Je n'ai pas eu de remboursement et losque je suis arriver a Machu Picchu, mon guide m'a offert le circuit #2 pour 50 soles de plus. Ma copine a aussi payee, alors 100 soles d'extra au guide lorsque en toute verite, j'avait deja payer pour 2 personnes pour se circuit #2.
