Scam!

I believe that I got scammed, don't book this agency! They told me entrance to Machu Picchu should be included, then changed their mind a week before and said it was just pick-up and guide. Then on the day before, pick-up apparently ment only meeting up, not transport. Really not a very good value for money and they were very rude and communication was terrible.

Operator response

However, we would like to clarify that the service you booked corresponds exclusively to the professional tour guide service at Machu Picchu, as clearly stated in the product description and booking conditions.

Nice experience

I had a great tour thanks to the guide, it was a pretty fun tour. Apart from the usual tour he told us quite a few things that are not even found in the books. Very attentive and friendly. The tour was ideal, neither very fast nor very long, which allowed us to take pictures calmly and travel quietly.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

The experience with a tour guide was amazing from start to finish. From the organization of the itinerary to the accompaniment during the tour, everything was very well coordinated. The guide not only learned about Machu Picchu’s history, but also shared interesting facts and tips to make the most of the visit. The logistics were impeccable: punctual transport, assured entrances and good communication at every stage. In addition, they worried that we are comfortable and enjoy without stress. They really made the experience so much more enriching and special. I totally recommend this agency if you are looking for a well organized, safe and guided visit that conveys passion for the history and culture of the place.

The experience in Machu Picchu with the private guide was just amazing. From the beginning he showed a lot of patience and knowledge, explaining every historical and cultural detail in a very clear and passionate way. Thanks to him I was able to understand much better the value of this special place. Also, he was very attentive, helped us with the photos and adapted to the rhythm of the group. Without a doubt, having hired this Service made the visit much more complete and enriching. I recommend it 100%.

I LIKE MACHU PICCHU

Machu Picchu is an impressive and unique place in the world. Its majesty is not only in the beauty of its landscapes surrounded by mountains and clouds, but also in the mystery and perfection of Inca architecture. Walking among its perfectly fitted stone walls conveys a sense of wonder and respect for the greatness of a culture that managed to build a city on top of the mountain range. Moreover, the energy felt there is special, as if it still holds the strength and wisdom of the ancient Incas. It is certainly a destination that leaves a mark and that everyone should know at least once in their lives.

Great experience

The truth was the best thing to hire a guide in Machu Picchu. He knew a lot and told it in a super clear and entertaining way, not boring. You could tell he was passionate about what he did and that made us more hooked on the history of the place too. He also took us through the whole tour without missing anything important, even gave us tips for photos and to take advantage of the time. 100% recommended, totally worth it.

A magical and unforgettable experience in Machu Picchu

I visited Machu Picchu in June this year and it was one of the most impressive experiences of my life. Since I arrived, I was surprised by the organization to enter the site and the kindness of the guides, who really convey the magic and history of this sacred place. June proved to be a perfect month: the weather was ideal, with clear skies that allowed to see the citadel in all its glory, but also with a fresh air that made the walk more pleasant. The view from the Guardian House is indescribable, the green mountains surrounding the ruins seem like an otherworldly setting. What struck me the most was the energy of the place, you feel a unique peace as you tour the temples and terraces. The organization of the circuits helps to maintain order and enjoy every corner with peace of mind. I recommend carrying water, sunscreen and lots of willingness to walk, because each step is worth it. Without a doubt, Machu Picchu is a destination that surpasses any photograph: being there is a privilege I will always remember.
