The Best Way to Explore Perú 🇵🇪

I can’t recommend this agency highly enough! They made our vacation in Peru an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, they stood out for their attentiveness, punctuality, excellent organization, and incredible coordination throughout the entire trip. I would especially like to mention our guide, Will, in Cusco. His professionalism, knowledge, and passion for history made every visit even more fascinating. We were amazed by all the interesting facts he shared about Inca culture, traditions, and the different archaeological sites. Having a guide like him made our experience much more enriching and allowed us to appreciate each place in a completely different way. I would also like to give a special thank you to Tania, Celestino, Jesus, Yusof, and Don Neri in Lima for their kindness, attention, and for making us feel so well taken care of throughout our trip. We traveled from Costa Rica, and we are taking home wonderful memories of Peru. Thank you to the entire team for making sure everything was so well organized and for treating us with such warmth and care. Without a doubt, an excellent agency for exploring Peru. We highly recommend them! Warm regards, Yuliana, from Costa Rica 🇨🇷❤️🇵🇪

Machu Picchu in a day.

Machu Picchu is pretty good place to visit. machupicchuperutravel made all the arrangements to make it a smooth ride for me. They asked me to upgrade to vistadome train which turned out to be a really good suggestion. I enjoyed the train, live music and vibrancy. Guided tour was fulfilling as well.

Operator response

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so pleased that our team could arrange such a smooth and memorable experience for you. The Vistadome train truly is one of the best ways to reach Machu Picchu, and we're delighted it resonated with you. We're grateful for your kind words about the guided tour as well. Your satisfaction is our greatest reward.

Perfectly organized private tour with great guide

We booked the private Machu Picchu experience for two, including a private car transfer from Cusco to the train station, the Vistadome train, and a private guided tour of the site. It is certainly a premium-priced experience, but for such a once-in-a-lifetime destination, I would absolutely do it again. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Communication with Tania was excellent throughout the booking process. She was always responsive and helpful, and even came to our hotel the day before to hand over all our tickets, explain the itinerary in detail, and answer all our questions. That personal touch was greatly appreciated. When we arrived at the train station, our guide, Willy, warmly welcomed us and stayed with us throughout the entire visit. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the history, culture, and significance of Machu Picchu. His English was excellent, making every explanation easy to understand. He also knew all the best photo spots and helped us capture some unforgettable memories. To top it off, he recommended a very good restaurant (not included in the price) for after our visit, which was the perfect end to the visit while waiting for the return transfer. Be prepared for a long day from Cusco—our day started at 5:00 a.m. and we returned around 8:30 p.m. Most of the time is spent on transportation, transfers, and waiting (each way is around 4 hours: car+train+bus), while the visit to Machu Picchu itself lasts around 2.5 hours (we had booked Circuit 1, which offers the best views although you are not able to enter the village itself (this would be circuit 2). However, every minute is absolutely worth it. A big thank you to Tania and especially to Willy for making this unforgettable experience so smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and I'll make sure to pass along your kind words to Willy — he'll be delighted to hear it. Thank you too for the honest note about the long travel day; it's true, but as you said, every minute at Machu Picchu makes it worth it. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Peru soon!
