Great tour. Highly recommend.

The day was fantastic. We were picked up at our hotel and everything throughout the whole day was well structured. Our bus driver to the train station was very friendly. When we arrived at destination city we were greeted by the tour staff and given clear and specific instructions. Our tour guide Samuel met us at machu pichu and gave us a fantastic tour. He was very knowledgeable and didn't rush through. He also took some great pictures of us. Would highly recommend this tour.

Birthday Tour

I’m a real person (Doing this for my 31st birthday) who started solo traveling about a year ago, and this was my trip to Machu Picchu. Honestly, the whole experience was way easier than I expected. The tour company pretty much spoon-feeds you through the entire process. From the initial pickup to getting to Machu Picchu and back, everything was organized and explained along the way, so I never really felt like I was on my own trying to figure everything out. The only part that I found genuinely difficult was the chaos at the train station. It can be pretty hectic and confusing, especially if you don’t know Spanish. If you do speak Spanish, you’ll definitely have an easier time navigating that part. That said, once you get through the station, everything becomes pretty straightforward. Samuel, the tour guide on-site at Machu Picchu, was great. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience much more enjoyable. The pickup driver and the initial tour leader were also great and made sure everything went smoothly. Overall, if you’re traveling solo and are nervous about doing Machu Picchu on your own, I’d definitely say this is a very easy way to do it. The company handles most of the logistics for you, so you can focus on actually enjoying Machu Picchu instead of stressing about how to get from one place to the next.

Disorganized, there are better tours

I was disappointed with this tour. We did not have a tour guide with us , and were dropped of at the train with no guidance. Very disorganized. When we got to Machu Picchu , we were told we would do circuit 1 ONLY. So we did not get to actually go into the ruins. The only good thing about this tour was Miguel , the guide who met us at the bottom of Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu

Well worth the price for the entire experience. Picked us up early in the AM and dropped us back to our hotel. The train ride was great and the entire Machu Picchu experience was great. The only part needing more attention was at aguas calientes. Guide needed to keep us more informed.

Operator response

We’ll definitely take your comments into consideration and work on improving communication and making sure our guests always know what to expect and where to go.

Heartwarming experience!

It was a wonderful experience! Machu Picchu was one of my top bucket list items and this trip fulfilled it for me. Our guide, Samuel was so helpful and patient. He stayed in touch with us the entire time prior to our meeting in Machu Picchu. He was very knowledgeable and provided great insights about Machu Picchu’s history. I would totally recommend.

Good, not great

This was my 4th trip to Machu Pichu and I was fairly disappointed. We flew 9hrs from the US, took a plane from Lima to Cusco, then took a 2hr bus ride that was bumpy as hell, then a two hour train ride, then the bus ride up the mountain.... all of this to be told that we only had 2:30 hours to walk around circuit 1. We could walk around the ruins themselves really because we only had circuit 1 tickets and not circuit 2... I wish the tour company had been much more communicative about all of the restrictions and limitations ahead of time. They didn't offer to get tickets for circuit 1 &2, they didn't even mention how the circuit system worked. I believe that if is in the best interest of these tour companies to explain this system to the customer as soon as the tickets are purchased rather than the day before, or the day of the tour.

Immersion, history and contemplation

Extraordinary place. Only after the visit is it possible to understand how the beauty, harmony and energy of the place inspired and propelled the Inca civilization. Our guide Noah was wonderful in contextualizing history, philosophy, always inviting us to contemplate the place, with an appropriate pace in conducting the visitation, and always acting with a lot of enthusiasm.

Operator response

Muito obrigado pelo carinho! Ficamos muito felizes em saber que Machu Picchu foi uma experiência tão marcante para vocês. É realmente um lugar que merece ser vivido com calma e atenção a cada detalhe. Que bom saber que o Noé (Noah) conseguiu transmitir um pouco da história e da filosofia do povo Inca, além de deixar vocês à vontade para apreciar o lugar no seu próprio ritmo. Vamos compartilhar suas palavras com ele, com certeza ficará muito feliz! Foi um prazer fazer parte desse momento. Muito obrigado por escolherem nossa equipe e esperamos receber vocês novamente no Peru!
