Excellent Circuit 2 Tour of Machu Picchu
Excellent private Machu Picchu tour with Rene as my tour guide. I was met by a different staff member at the Aquas Calientes train station. From there I was guided to the bus to Machu Picchu. It did take a minute to find my guide, but once we met up the rest of the tour was seamless. The altitude and climbing was a bit harder than I expected. Rene was very careful and helped me up any steep stairs. He also made sure to move at my pace and we stopped frequently in the shade. I was able to catch my breath and he had information cards where he shared so much information about the site. Rene was professional, courteous, an overall excellent guide. He made my time at Machu Picchu memorable.
