Great trip. We got everything we wanted. We would have hoped for a bit more guidance with this trip. We kind of felt left alone to figure out where to go and what to do. We found ourselves texting the agency a lot of figure out where to go next. But they were quick to respond and helped us figure things out. We were told by the agency that the only way to get a tour was a private one and we ended up spending an extra $50. It was worth it but it felt like a scam at first. And the agency didn’t communicate very well before the trip. We had to buy bus tickets to go up and down Machu Picchu while there because we were kind of in a time crunch. If we didn’t buy those we would have missed our bus back to Cusco. Things could have been a little bit more organized and we felt like we should have been guided more, but overall an amazing experience.
Incredible work all around from Nixon Expeditions! They find the best guides and have the best 24/7 hospitality service!!!
"Incredible service from start to finish! The communication was excellent, and the recommendations were spot-on. They took all the stress out of planning, leaving us free to just enjoy the journey. We will definitely be booking with them again!"
Said they would refund me and never did. Never got to see machu pichu. They said ticket was included but it wasnt, so we couldnt buy one
6 hours journey by bus from Cusco, reached Hidroelectrica 2 hours of flat walk along the railway to Aguas Calientes. Check in at the hotel, spartan but functional, where I met the guide Victor who explained how the visit to the archaeological site was structured, then dinner in a restaurant affiliated with the tour operator Nixon. Early in the morning I woke up and walked along the path that leads from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu, it took me 1 hour and 20 minutes. I met them Victor who made me take the tour of Machu Picchu with detailed information, plus 'took many souvenir photos. After the tour I calmly walked back to Hidroelectrica where I had lunch included in the package. Then return by 7-hour minibus to Cusco. Nixon called several times during the two days to see how it went. This low cost tour is suitable for those who like to walk in the middle of nature, only the climb to Machu Picchu requires a minimum of tax preparation. It should be noted that the road that arrives at Hidroelectrica and 'in poor condition, not suitable for everyone....
I loved this experience and the staff of very friendly and attentive guides always ❤️
I very much enjoyed how free form the experience was, if you're looking for a guide to be with you the whole time this is not for you. The man helping and coordinating us was very nice and spoke impeccable English, the hotel and restaurant booked for us were also both nice. We had issues getting the circuit 2 permit from the government, but they were very communicative about the process and sorted it out well in the end. My one complaint would be that the bus is not comfortable for those over 6ft tall, but that is unfortunately normal
Amazing experience visiting Macchu Picchu. We decided the day before to go there, and despite the last-minute booking everything went smoothly. Nixon is quickly and easily responsive. All services were included in the package. The guide was really friendly and informative. Transportation on time. We walked from Hidroelectrica to Aguas Calientes, then from there the next morning to Macchu Picchu, and again all the way back. It’s a long walk but really worth it. Overall great experience, and Macchu Picchu and the way to get there is just magical.
We did the 2-day Machu Picchu tour by car with Nixon Expeditions and couldn’t recommend them more. From start to finish, the team was incredibly attentive and well organised. Communication was clear, quick, and reassuring the whole time, which made the experience completely stress free. The restaurant stops and hotel were excellent and thoughtfully chosen, adding real comfort to the journey. Most importantly, we felt very safe and comfortable throughout the trip, which allowed us to fully enjoy the experience and the incredible scenery. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and caring tour company for Machu Picchu, Nixon Expeditions is a fantastic choice.
I had the most amazing time in Machu Picchu, Ari meticulously planned my whole trip for me and also helped me book a train at the last minute which was definitely the more scenic route and comfortable way to travel. Couldn't be happier with my trip.
