Efficient and Well-Organised Transport to Machu Picchu
The bus service to and from Machu Picchu was very well organised and made what could otherwise be a busy and potentially stressful part of the journey remarkably straightforward. The staff were friendly and efficient, the queues were managed well, and the boarding process moved quickly despite the large number of visitors. The buses were clean, equipped with air conditioning and offered reasonably spacious seats, making the short journey comfortable. My advice to future travellers would be simple: arrive at the bus one hour before the entry time stated on your Machu Picchu ticket, and the entire process is likely to run very smoothly.
The main drawback is the price, which some travellers may find somewhat high for a relatively short transfer. In addition, I received a message before my trip stating that tickets had to be printed on paper and that digital versions would not be accepted for boarding. This caused some unnecessary concern, particularly for travellers who no longer carry printed documents. Fortunately, this appeared to be an outdated automatic message, as there was no issue whatsoever using a ticket displayed on a mobile phone. While this did not affect the journey itself, updating the pre-travel information would help avoid confusion for future passengers. Another point worth mentioning is that both the drivers and some of the staff responsible for checking tickets had only a very limited command of English. This was not a problem for me, as the process is generally straightforward, but international visitors who do not speak Spanish may occasionally find communication a little challenging.

Thank you very much for your detailed 5-star review and for taking the time to share such helpful feedback! 🚌🇵🇪
We’re delighted to hear that you found the Machu Picchu bus service well organized, efficient, and comfortable, particularly during a busy period with many visitors. Your recommendation to arrive approximately one hour before the entrance time on your Machu Picchu ticket is also excellent advice for future travelers.
We especially appreciate you bringing the pre-travel message regarding printed tickets to our attention. You are correct that mobile tickets are accepted, and we apologize for the unnecessary concern caused by the outdated information. We will review this communication so future travelers receive clear and current instructions.
Thank you as well for your comments regarding pricing and English communication. The bus fare is established by the local bus operator rather than by Machupicchu Center Bus, but we certainly understand your observation regarding the cost of the relatively short journey. Your feedback regarding communication with international travelers is also appreciated.
Thank you again for choosing Machupicchu Center Bus and for providing such thoughtful and constructive feedback. We’re very pleased that the overall experience was smooth and stress-free! ⛰️🚌
*Your Journey to the Wonder Starts Here.* ✨
Warm regards,
The Machupicchu Center Bus Team

Do not use for bus tickets to Machu Picchu
This is effectively a scam. I mistakenly thought this was the official bus company, but it's just a re-seller — posing as a bus company — that charges more than double the official price. Moreover, they issued tickets for the wrong date and then didn't respond to emails. Avoid at all cost.

Not Machu Picchu Official Bus Provider
Be mindful that these guys are not the official Machu Picchu Bus service provider. Although their main website address says so (which i found really deceiving). I paid $35 for round way bus tickets while in the official website was $24. Don't get deceived and pay more

Thank you for sharing your experience — we understand your concern about pricing.
Just to clarify, the difference in price reflects the service included, not only the bus tickets themselves. When you book with us, you do not need to stand in line or go through the purchase process on-site. Your tickets are issued in advance and delivered directly to your email or mobile device, so you can simply arrive and proceed with your trip.
If you prefer, you are absolutely free to purchase directly from the bus company at the local office at the standard rate. However, please note that this may involve waiting in line, especially during high-demand periods in Aguas Calientes.
Our goal is to provide a more convenient and time-saving option, particularly for travelers with tight schedules or those who want a smoother, hassle-free experience.
We appreciate your feedback and wish you a great trip to Machu Picchu

Disgrace
Absolute disgrace - you are charged $35 and then another $1 fee on top of that for the return bus trip. You then receive two tickets each with a face value of $12 printed on them. I don't know if it's possible to actually pay for the face value of the tickets or not.
Leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We understand that seeing a printed ticket value that differs from the online service price can be confusing if the local ticketing process is unfamiliar.
Travelers visiting Machu Picchu can purchase bus tickets directly at the ticket office in Aguas Calientes for the printed transportation price shown on the ticket. However, this typically requires waiting in the purchase line, which during busy hours can take 40–60 minutes or more.
Our service provides electronic tickets secured in advance, allowing travelers to skip the ticket purchase line and proceed directly to the boarding queue. To provide this convenience, staff must physically obtain the tickets locally, stand in line on behalf of travelers, process the payment, and deliver the tickets electronically.
The difference between the printed ticket value and the online price reflects this convenience service, handling, and payment processing.
Travelers therefore have two options:
• Purchase tickets directly in person and wait in line
• Secure tickets in advance and avoid spending valuable travel time in the queue
Many visitors prefer the second option so they can spend more time enjoying the extraordinary Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu rather than waiting at the ticket office.
We appreciate the feedback and hope you still had a memorable visit.

Problems with pass validation.
It was all right after 01 hour of waiting, as the tickets I printed were not validated by the local transport company.

Not worth it
When I showed up at the Machu Picchu bus pick up area with my family, I was told that the Viator tickets where not valid. There is an official Peruvian ticket system used which does NOT recognize Viator apparently. Also the guild situation was unclear and we had to find our own and pay cash. Over all bad experience and would recommend people to go directly through official Peruvian site for bus ticket purchase.

Not to be missed if you’re in Peru!!
This was done through our tour group called Exoticca with a guide. Train to Aqua Calientes, bus up the mountain dirt road to close to the entrance. We got a full tour of all the Inca ruins. It was just wonderful and what the Incas were able to build out of solid granite! I was totally amazed!! Very worth seeing and not to be missed if you’re ever in Peru!!!

It truly is a breathtaking place, and we couldn't agree more—what the Incas built is absolutely astonishing! We're glad you found the journey smooth and the tour enriching. If you ever return to Peru, we'd love to be part of your next adventure. Happy travels! 🚆🚌🏔️

Great staff!!
Comfortable bus, driver and staff very willing to help, mainly pq our private Guide left us in the middle of the journey and the wheelchair needs to be loaded at the entrance and exit of the bus. I just did not score better for the lack of accessibility, important now that Machu Picchu is affordable!!

Trip to Machu Pichu.
The only option not to walk to Machu Pichu. The trip lasts approximately 30 minutes. The trip was very expensive for such a short trip. Maybe the bus is very safe and they leave often.
