Day trip to Machu Picchu from Cusco

We started our adventure on a rainy day convinced we were not going to have any visibility on Machu Picchu but the vibes changed when we met our guide Samuel, he was with us every step of the way and facilitated the entrance which was crowded. You can tell he has a deep knowledge and takes pride of his heritage as he shared meaningful insight during our tour, we didn't want it to end. with the power of positive thinking the clouds finally were gone and he took great photos of us. Highly recommend booking a tour with Samuel. Thanks for everything Machu Picchu, until we meet again.

Samu our guide has a vast knowledge of Incan history and culture. He allowed us to take as many photos as we wanted and took many with both of us in them. We enjoyed spending the day at Macchu Picchu and enjoyed having Samu to explain everything to us.

This was an absolutely amazing experience. We arrived to aguas calientes after taking the panoramic train and we were met outside the station by our first guide who ensured we had bus tickets and our tickets for machu Picchu. He showed us to the bus stop and informed us that our guide would meet us at the entrance once we got off the bus. Our guide Samuel greeted us immediately as we got off the bus and we headed into Machu Picchu with him to do a tour of circuit 2. He was so friendly and knowledgeable he made the history of Machu Picchu and surrounding areas so easy to understand and knew the right balance of giving information and pausing to allow us to take it all in. On top of that he was an excellent photographer and knew great spots to get scenic photos and offered to take photos for everyone in our group at various different points along the way. He was so patient and offered suggestions for cool poses too. At no point did we feel rushed we were shown around at a leisurely pace so we could soak it all in. We got so lucky with the weather on our trip too, the sun was shining and views were amazing. Samuel ensured we had time to ask him any questions we wanted and then accompanied us back to aguas calientes on the bus where he recommended a lovely restaurant to us so we could eat before catching our train back. I couldn't fault the day, it was a brilliant trip from start to finish.

Samuel was amazing guide, his knowledge was beyond expectation! Thanks a lot for a once in a lifetime tour to the Machu Picchu !!

The Machu Picchu day trip was a wonderful experience. It was breathtaking and I am still completely blown away. There are hardly any words for it. It is a magical place. It was sunny and warm. The tour guide Samuel showed and explained everything to us wonderfully. We had time to take beautiful photos. He was very helpful to us with everything. I wish I could have stayed there even longer. The round trip (from Cusco) went well. The train ride was a lovely experience. Drinks and a snack were included. The music and observation car was really great. The atmosphere was super. I met nice people in the tour group and on the train.

Samuel was very kind to us even though we arrived in a rush due to a flat tire on the bus on the way up. He put a lot of effort into making sure we had the best photos and the best memories of the visit. The explanations were also very complete and enjoyable. A 10/10 experience.

Standing atop Machu Picchu was purely magical, especially as the cool, crisp weather cleared up just in time for vibrant blue skies over the ancient stone terraces. Despite the demanding pre-dawn schedule, our incredible guide Sami made every second seamless, weaving rich Incan history and clever shortcuts into an unforgettable, flawlessly timed journey. Totally recommend it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Machu Picchu. The guide met us at 5am and gave us our tickets and explained all of our transfers to us. We were met and guided to our next bus or train throughout. The driver then drove us to the train where we got on the 360° train to Machu Picchu. It was an amazing experience with stunning views, snacks and live music. When we reached Machu Picchu, we were met by our amazing tour guide for the day, Samuel. He greeted us and brought us along Circuit 3. We are so grateful to him for all of the knowledge he passed onto us and for being our personal photographer. He also helped us to find our bus back to Aguas Calientes. We returned to Cusco at 8pm instead of the scheduled 6.30pm as the Voyager train broke down on the way back to Ollantaytambo.

The view from Machu Picchu was amazing and we were very happy to experience it. The schedule on the trip was fine, we felt like we had enough time to take pictures and enjoy it. The weather was perfect - er Werge a bit afraid it would be cloudy or cold, but we walked around in t-shirts. Edgar was an amazing guide - very engaged and we couldn’t have asked for more from him. He answered all our questions, took pictures of us and told us a lot of interesting facts. The organisation for the trip though was chaotic, because it got changed in the last minute, which really stressed us out.

I was worried about going there alone, but they welcomed me and gave me a tour in Machu Picchu with one person per group, which was a very fulfilling day. Samuel really cared about the pace of the sightseeing, etc., and when I asked him a question, he answered with +α, which was a lot of fun, and I was really interested in the history of Machu Picchu. It was nice to ask you here to tour Machu Picchu, which I had always wanted to come to at least once in my life!
