We had a great visit today and the weather gods were kind to keep the weather clear until the end of our tour in Machu Picchu. This experience allowed us to experience the Vistadome and the Vistadome Observatory carriages and both were amazing! The tour included drop offs/pickups to Ollantaytambo, train rides both ways, bus transfers, Machu Picchu tickets and guided tour guides as well.
All super cevere. It was fantastic and very well organized. From the hotel passing through all taxi stations, trains and buses worked perfectly.
Very organized and punctual. Nothing to complain about. All people passed the correct information, leaving no doubts. Great agency!
Very good service from the agency, all the time coordinating our arrival, pickup and departure. The experience at Machu pichu was excellent, the Guide and agency all the time very pending. Very nice the Guide that was assigned to us.
They gave us peace of mind from start to finish, we never had isolated moments, they were always attentive to every need based on mobility, transportation and lodging and most importantly "THE TOURS". We also toured Moray, Salineras, Pisac..
The attention is very good. Very good hotels. Always very punctual and have always been aware of what we needed. I recommend it.
This is one of the best bargain I found online for a day trip to Machu Picchu. I considered their previous reviews and was hesitant at first but I must say the agency has put in effort to improve the customer experience. Hotel pick-up was offered and on-time, you'll be transported to a bus station and the staff (who speaks English) from the station will take care of you. They'll let you know which bus you'll be taking for the ride to the train station. Once you've arrived at the train station, the staff there will let you know again when you can get onto the train. Once you've arrived at the Machu Picchu train station, you'll see your local guide holding a piece of paper with your name written on it - so not to worry too much. Even though nobody accompanies you when you are on the bus/ train, the staff/ guide will fetch you at Machu Picchu/ when you are back. In case you have questions, the communication on whatsapp was pretty okay. Though you may have to be a bit patient as they may only send you the tickets just a day before or in the early morning through whatsapp. If you are worried you could just whatsapp them. Even though we gotta be on our own on the bus or train, I wasn't bothered because there were always people you can reach out to to ask questions on the way. So I am happy with the arrangement in light of the price.
We are very grateful to you for your trust in us to organize your trip to Machu Picchu, and day by day we always seek to improve the experiences of our visitors and to make your visit to Machu Picchu unforgettable,
It was always my big dream to meet Machu Picchu, and I was finally able to make it happen thanks to the Anemia Service. I'll be back soon.
