Great tour with Luis. He was awesome in explaining details and history of Machu Picchu. Luis made this trip very memorable! From the pickup from my hotel to the drop off this tour was awesome! Thanks everyone!!
Hi Rebbekah, Thank you so much for your very possitive review! We are thrilled to hear that Luis made your visit to Machu Picchu so memorable with his detailed historical insights. It is our goal to provide a seamless 'door-to-door' experience, and we’re glad the hotel pickup and drop-off were perfect for you. We will be sure to share your kind words with Luis and the rest of the team. We hope to welcome you back to Peru again soon! Best wishes @MachupicchuLatinAmerica team!!!
We contacted the agency from Italy to book the excursion to Machu Picchu. Fredi was very precise in giving us all the necessary information and once in Cusco everything was exactly as planned, attention to every detail. It was a fantastic experience- highly recommended
So many that they can't finally describe the wonderfulness of the place. The guide so well is wonderful, caring and friendly. Unforgettable memories.
A good day excursion to see Machu Picchu! You are whatsapp-ed details including a personalised day briefing which tells you how it all works: driver from Cusco to Ollantaytambo, he gives you your ticket for the day (train, bus, entry). The train journey was great, we had the vistadome version and there was comp snacks and entertainment. Our guide met us outside the station at Aguas Caliente and we took the bus up to Machu Picchu together and had over 2.5hours tour. It was very informative and of course great to see one of the wonders of the world. When we came down, we had an included lunch (drinks not included) before making the train/drive back. A great experience overall
Fredi ~ Tour Operator from MachuPichuLatinAmerica did an awesome job in scheduling, booking the MachuPichu Circuit 1 activity in the last minute for 12/25 at 10 am . He ensured the itinenary was shared and clear with the detailed instructions. He also ensured that the pick up and drop off at various points from/to hotel; train ride from Ollantaytambo to Auguas Calientes; Bus ride from Auguas Calientes to MachuPichu along with the lunch was well coordinated and orchestrated. Will look forward to doing this trip once again in the future with Fredi.
I did my tour with this company last week and I can’t say enough good things about them. They were on time to pick us up from Cusco in a comfortable car. They were able to communicate effectively and move us around in an organized way even in the chaotic environment (lots of tourists). We had two tour guides for the two circuits we did and they were incredibly kind and had so much knowledge about Machu Picchu. I totally recommend them if you want to have a no-worries trip.
Luis is the most knowledgeable caring guide. He knows the history of this place and will go out of his way to make sure you are taken care of. If anyone dares claim otherwise they’re liars. I will fight for this man with my dying breath.
Everything about this trip was first class. The tour team was always there to help and keep us moving through the lines....always a great explanation of what we need to do and where we needed to be. Our actual tour guide was very knowledgeable. I know this tour is a bit more expensive, but when you are there and get to see how complicated the process can be....it's good to pay the extra money and enjoy the experience.
Let's be real: Machu Picchu is the "main event" for any stay in the Cusco region. And for those of us not willing/able to hike the Inca Trail, a solid day trip is key to experiencing this wonder of the world, and that's exactly what this was. Everything was planned out for us in advance, and this company has it down to a science. We were picked up from our hotel in Cusco, driven to Ollantaytambo, given an easy-to-manage set of tickets for everything we needed for the day (round trip vistadome tickets for PeruRail, round trip bus tickets to get up and down the mountain), were greeted when we got off the train, were met by an amazing tour guide (Paul) who showed and taught us so much about Machu Picchu, all while answering our questions and taking all the pictures we could have ever dreamed of. This is the ultimate day trip to see this amazing site, and we could not be happier with the way everything went!
The organization was perfect Fredi provided me with all the information and made sure the day went wonderfully. An experience that I highly recommend
