One day tour of Machu Picchu
My daughter & I went on an Amazon jungle expedition, & had one day to visit Machu Picchu before heading home. I read the description of this tour on Get Your Guide. It provided all the transportation & tickets we needed to visit the site. Our guide Eduardo met us at the entry gate & accompanied us through the site for our 3 hour tour, providing a detailed history of the world wonder. He also recommended a fabulous place for lunch in the town at the conclusion of the tour. I highly recommend this one day tour if you are pressed for time!

Machu Picchu Trek
Incredible scenery and wonderful breakfast and lunch on the way up the mountain, but be aware the air is very thin and the climb is not easy, i am 68 and my partner 63 we both found it very tough going, but getting to the peak and seeing Machu Picchu was worth the struggle
Operator response
Dear nkennedy58,
Thank you for your review! We are happy you enjoyed the views and the food. We know the climb can be hard, but we are glad Machu Picchu was worth it.

Had a great day, thanks to our guide Elias!!
We had a great full-day tour to Machu Picchu. Everything was smooth from the start, with a guide helping us on the bus from the hotel and train to Aguas Calientes, and then another guide Elias took over.
Elias was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and kind. He explained the history of Machu Picchu in a clear and engaging way, made sure everyone was comfortable, and kept a great pace throughout the visit. He was also very patient, answered all our questions, and went out of his way to show us the best viewpoints and photo spots. His passion was contagious!!
Highly recommend this tour, and especially Elias as a guide!

Wonderful experience hiking Machu Picchu Mountain with Fredy
Fredy is a fantastic tour guide - a wealth of local knowledge and experience he shares. From history to local plants and sights. As a guide he goes at "your pace". He speaks multiple languages, English very well.
The tour I took thru TreXperience was the Machu Picchu climb up Machu Picchu Mountain. 2000ft climb of endless Inca stairs; but spectacular, thru tropical forests with native plants, birds, and animals. Then a tour round Machu Picchu at the end
Fredy is very fit, and we went steadily up with breaks for scenery, water, etc.
The climb to the peak is rated at 4hrs return, and you must be fit to do it.
Having a guide was great as he pointed out the sights, history, as we climbed. Not just a "peak bagging" hike
Fredy is an experience guide on longer routes too
Operator response
Dear 907billa,
Thank you for your wonderful review of your Machu Picchu full-day trip from Cusco! We’re thrilled to hear that Fredy made your experience so special with his wealth of knowledge and personalized approach.
It’s fantastic to know that the hike up Machu Picchu Mountain, with its beautiful views and unique flora and fauna, was an unforgettable adventure. We’re glad Fredy’s guidance enhanced the journey and helped you appreciate the history along the way.
Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for another amazing adventure soon!
