We were lucky to catch a sunny day, we enjoy circuit 2 peacefully. A little boring the initial queue but after that, a thousand wonders
Wonderful!!!!! Magic!!!
Climb and descend on the small stone stairs. We walked through the buildings. Without a guide, there is no time limit for walking through the ruins.
It was a fantastic tour, totally worth the money we sent. We had a very long day to visit Machu Picchu. But the organization of the tour was amazing. The transportation to visit Machu Picchu was complex. From hotel pick up, taxi, bus, train, shuttle bus to the entrance, then vise verse, each connection was seamless and stress free for us. We never expected such smooth transfers. Our private tour guide, Gregory was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Machu Picchu, and gave us unforgettable tour inside Machu Picchu. Gregory was also a great photographer. He took a lot of precious photos and videos for us at site. What a topnotch service! I highly recommend this tour company to the travelers who want to visit Machu Picchu.
It's worth it!!! It's amazing, a place to visit.
The treatment and willingness of Day were excellent, she explained the entire history of the wonder with great expertise, answered all our questions, I loved her, I recommend her 100%.
Very nice experience. An exceptional trip as well as an outstanding organization with Evasion Peru. Passionate guides who pass on their knowledge and Peruvian culture. A beautiful country!
He knew the Inca well, and we can enjoy the circuit2. His friend was also so kind to us that we can come to the bus stop smoothly.
Me and my partner booked the tour to Machu Picchu on the Inca Trail and everything was really excellent. Javier made the tour a wonderful day. The most special thing about traveling this season is that along the way you can see orchids in bloom, something that made the experience even more memorable. Upon arrival, Machu Picchu was completely clear, so we could enjoy it to the fullest. It was a perfect trip and we definitely recommend it.
I highly recommend the company, total attention and responsibility, always available at all times, healed all doubts, made recommendations, provided experiences that I did not even expect, because everyone goes to see Macchu Picchu and after that what to do? This is where they come in and give total attention, are congratulated, I recommend and intend to come back more often.
