Willson was excellent. Very helpful. Was very attentive to my knee pain and discomforts and very friendly. Loved him. The circuit 2B which we took, is very exploratory. Lots of great views only if the clouds move...lol. we had few opportunities. Lots of climbing.
Eric was phenomenal and really knew his history which made the experience that much more special! He was attentive, punctual, professional and personable!
Do not go into Machu Picchu without a guide like Eric. They add a wealth of knowledge and history which makes it a great experience. Eric was part of the indigenous culture which added to this whole experience.
I wasn’t sure if we really needed a guide for Machu Picchu, but after our visit with our exceptional guides I don’t know how you could really experience all that Machu Picchu is without an expert to lead you on the journey. Their service began when someone greeted us at our hotel and helped us navigate to the bus line and on to the bus. They met us at the entrance and made sure we were ready for our circuits. We booked two guides for our two circuits — 2b and 3b. Both Eric and Victor were wonderful. They were so knowledgeable and brought their lived cultural experiences into the tours. They were also very kind and getting to know them added a great deal to our day. It was also so very nice to have them take photos. They knew all the right spots, and prompted us when to stop for a photo so we didn’t have to think about it, or find a stranger to snap a photo. I know you can find guides at the entrance to Machu Picchu, but I highly recommend this top notch service. The price is very good and it really ensured that our once in a lifetime trip went perfectly.
Ericwas a fantastic guide. He was on time to pick us up from the hotel in Aguas Calientes. He explained everything at Machu Pichu in detail. And to top it all, he took some fantastic photos that we'll cherish. I would absolutely recommend Eric to anyone.
The tour was very good, the guide passionate and informative. The meeting point was at the entry gate, which in hindsight is a mistake, since there is no cellular coverage there. We waited for 20 minutes and started to get anxious.
Julio is an extraordinarily knowledgeable guide. He will talk to you about the history and magic of the Machu Picchu sanctuary, as well as those unexpected historical details that rarely appear in tourist brochures.
We booked a private tour for our trip to Machu Picchu. Our guide Frank was wonderful. Peruvian history is his passion and he shared that throughout the tour. He answered our questions, went at a pace that kept in mind our acclimation to the altitude and kept my 13 year old daughter engaged, which is not easy. I would recommend Frank to anyone going to MP and wanting a unique and insightful experience.
Eric was lovely and informative. It was nice to learn more about history of this amazing place. He took great photos!
Eric was a phenomenal tour guide! He provided us with a very in-depth tour of Machu Picchu, and was also very personable. He answered any and all questions for us, while also taking phenomenal photos. He knows his stuff! 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
