At the end of the Machu Picchu tour, you will have enough time in the town of Aguas Calientes to eat and buy handicrafts calmly.

Amazing landscapes and history. Wow effect starts already when you travel on the train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Clientes. In Machu Picchu we had a a private guide, who was able to answer any of our questions and made the tour comfortable, adjusting to our tempo and walking abilities. One going to such trip should be prepared to hike stairs in Machu Picchu and also to stand in the sun when queuing for the bus in Aguas Clientes.
Lidia, thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed Machu Picchu; it's such a majestic Inca city. We’ve rebranded! Our new name reflects our commitment to being an even more personalized agency: www.suntraceperu.com
Our best tour ever. Mariela and Maria organized a 7-day tour for us, which was beyond our expectations. The ladies included, a beautiful trip to Machu Picchu, 2 great train journeys, a return flight to Cusco and a boat trip on the Titicaca. The history of the Incas was super interesting, and our guides all spoke English. I give these ladies 5 stars for their full service. And I really recommend them to organize your vacation to Peru. Many thanks and blessings to Mariela and Maria. xoxo Sacha, Dulcie/Ivan and Rubby
thank you so much Rubby for this unforgettable trip, I hope someday you can come back and get to know other experiences in Peru! hugs to Dulcie, Ivan and Angelica and happy holidays!
From the moment I reached to find out more and get pricing information they have been amazing! They customized our trip so that my mom who needs a wheelchair to get around would also be able to enjoy every moment. They are super knowledgeable, helpful, kind, attentive, simply the best people ever! We ran into a complicated situation where we were staying and I reached out to Naomi and she quickly helped us find a hotel so that we can leave that situation. She could’ve easily said that’s not my job but she didn’t!! Without hesitation she helped us and then followed up to make sure we were safe. She even coordinated our transportation to the new place. All the tour guides and transportation were amazing as well! They made the whole experience even better!! From the moment we arrived to Lima to the moment we left they made us feel like family and not tourists they had just met. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Thank you Anelis!! I hope someday you can return to Peru and enjoy more magical places that Peru has, I wish you a happy new year 2025 of new beginnings and many blessings. Hugs to great family.

Obrigada Evelin, que bom que você teve momentos inesquecíveis no Peru!
We took the day tour to Machu Picchu with Mariela! We closed everything in Brazil. We really liked your organization and care with our expedition. She took the train tickets, bus tickets to and from Aguas Calientes and the tickets to our hotel personally! Arriving at Machu Picchu, we had explanations and photos from guide Carlos! The tour was perfect and very well organized! I recommend the company to anyone looking for comfort and safety when visiting Machu Picchu!
Obrigada Luana y Andrei, que bom que você teve momentos inesquecíveis no Peru! bênçãos
Wow, we’ve just had a fantastic holiday in Cusco- Peru, a huge thanks to Mariela and Alejandra at Cusco YA our travel agency for preparing such a fabulous itinerary. From the moment we booked our holiday , Cusco YA were in contact with us to ensure our holiday was tailored to our specific requirements, which included private guides who were very informative and friendly, and our driver (Daniel who was excellent) . We had a wonderful experience evey day , to name a few of our trips, which included the spectacular Vista Dome observatory train and special trip to Macchu Puchu, the exhilarating Hike and visit to Q'eswachaka Bridge, and the unforgettable Rainbow 🌈 mountain trip to Polccoya up at 5000 meters. I would thoroughly recommend, booking with Cusco YA, thank you again Mariela and all your team for making our holiday so special and memorable.
We had the most magical time at Machu Picchu. They handled everything and we were able to do it as a comfortable day trip from the Sacred Valley. They picked us up at our hotel, took us to the train stations, and helped us meet our guide at the top of the mountain (and then we took the train back and were driven back to the hotel). Machu Picchu itself is BREATHTAKING. It's also not that crowded if you enter at 12 pm which is when we entered. (If you wanna hike from the top, I'd go earlier as a lot of the hiking is closed by then). Andrei was an amazing tour guide. He taught us so much and juggled any questions we sent his way! I would use them again in a heart beat! Plus, we were quite last minute, and they helped us secure the last two tickets availble for entry. Don't delay, and book in advance!
Everything was spectacular, AAA treatment and service. Mariela and her entire team recommended the best things to do in Cusco-Machupicchu. Their guides are very experienced and have great human quality. The assigned transportation was comfortable and very safe. With our eyes closed, of course I highly recommend them, they made us feel like family. They were very attentive to our needs and they resolved whatever we required at any time and day.
