Excellent Service and Organization
If you’re looking for a reliable tour company in Peru, this is definitely the one! My family and I had an incredible experience visiting Machu Picchu. We booked everything at the last minute, and honestly, without Julio and the entire team’s help, none of this would have been possible. They went above and beyond to help us arrange the entrance tickets at the last minute and made sure everything was organized so we could enjoy our visit without worrying about the details. Elder was an incredible guide. He was very knowledgeable, kind, patient, and made our visit to Machu Picchu truly special. Thanks to them, we were able to experience Machu Picchu in a wonderful way despite booking at the last minute. Everything went smoothly, and my family and I had an amazing time. We are extremely grateful to Julio and Elder, and the whole team for making this trip so memorable. I highly recommend Elvis Adventures to anyone visiting Machu Picchu. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would give them a 10! I would definitely recommend this agency and book with them again.

Insightful and Well Worth It
Elder was our guide for our visit to Machu Picchu, and he's a big part of why the day stuck with us. He picked us up right on time and was easy to talk to from the start. He clearly knew the history well, but what stood out was how personally he shared it. It felt less like a scripted tour and more like walking through the ruins with someone who genuinely wanted us to understand the place. That's what made the trip feel meaningful, not just another stop on an itinerary.

Excellent service and help
The coordinator Julio from Elvis Adventures kept in touch with us for 3 months via WhatsApp ever since we purchased our Machu Picchu tickets with Viator. He was very helpful providing updated ticket information and advising us on the local transportation. Our private tour guide Elder assigned to us by Elvis is a great guy. He met us at Aguas Calientes train station as promised and took us to the Ministry of Culture office right away to get our Circuit 2A tickets that we paid for. On the following day he picked us from our hotel on time and accompanied us during our entire tour lasting 4.5 hours. We were lucky not only having beautiful weather in Machu Picchu, but also having Elder’s excellent service and support, making our journey to Machu Picchu totally unforgettable. We strongly recommend Elvis and Elder for helping your visit to Machu Picchu with peace of mind.

Our tour to Machu Picchu...
Our tour to Machu Picchu was amazing! Elder, our tour guide met us at Jaya Machu Picchu Boutique Hotel. He wanted to ensure we formally met the evening b4 our excursion to Machu Picchu ion September 04, 2026. Since it was approaching dinner time, he recommended and exported us to Full House Restaurant. That was a very enjoyable dinner. On September 4th, Elder met us in front of our hotel to escort us to the bus station where we would start our journey to Machu Picchu. Elder was
