Phenomenal guide and fantastic tour!
This was a truly incredible experience! They picked me up at my hotel in Cusco right on time, drove me to the train station and then had a phenomenal guide (Sifuentes Sullcaccori Carlos) meet me in Aguas Caliente and guide me through Machu Picchu.
The train ride was gorgeous. I met other travelers and enjoyed the music and dancing. The view along the Urubamba River was spectacular!
I couldn’t imagine a better guide than Carlos. He is phenomenally knowledgeable and passionate about the area. He carted around a few dozen books and would pull one out to show old photos of the area, or pictures of various produce in Peru, I enjoyed the time I spent with Carlos and hope to return for another tour with him someday with my family!
After the tour, we went back to Aguas Caliente, where I had time for lunch and a walk around the beautiful town, then took the train back to Ollantaytambo where another driver met me and drove me back to Cusco.
I would absolutely book this tour again!

Machu pichu
The tour guide was nice, but the problem was that we book the tour on 7.12 because we came to Cusco on 5.12 to acclimatise. But that was not possible, the agency informed us 3 days before that Machu Picchu was not possible to see on 7.12 in whole 3 circuit just circuit 1, where you see the machu piccu just on the top and not whole. There was other tours before available but we took this one which was more expensive because you come afternoon back to Cusco and when you travel with small kids we must always compromise. So ok the tour was ok. But not what we were expecting. Thank you for the experience.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
We are pleased to know that the attention provided by our guide was to your satisfaction and that the overall tour was delivered according to the standards offered.
Regarding the visit to Machu Picchu, we believe it is important to provide a clarification for the proper understanding of future travelers. Access, circuits, and schedules are managed exclusively by the official system of the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, and availability strictly depends on the authorized capacity for each date.
In this case, the reservation was made with only two days’ notice, and yet we were able to secure entrance to the Sanctuary—something that is not always possible, as during much of the year tickets sell out weeks or even months in advance. Prior to confirmation, you were clearly informed that for the requested date (December 7th), only Circuit 1 was available, a condition that was accepted at the time of booking.
We fully understand that expectations may vary, especially when traveling as a family; however, the service was delivered exactly as confirmed and in full alignment with the official availability at that time. Unfortunately, no operator can modify or guarantee specific Machu Picchu circuits once they are sold out in the government system.
We sincerely appreciate your visit and the opportunity to clarify this information, reaffirming our commitment to transparent communication and responsible service for all our travelers.

Amazing experience!!!
An incredible experience thanks to fly cusco! I went to Cusco alone and I didn't worry about anything, they solved everything for me. When I arrived in Aguas Calientes my guide Paulo was already waiting for me and it was wonderful! He explained everything to me about Machu Picchu and the Inca people, removed all doubts, all in Portuguese. And also made a lot of photos and videos. Thank you for everything!

The views were amazing. Our tour guide, Judie, did a great job of trekking up at a slower pace that helped me tremendously, 59 years old. She also took time to let us get photos when and where ever we wanted and offered to take many for us. She was very helpful and made the experience very wonderful. We loved our Machu Pichu trip!

Personalised panoramic tour of Machu Pichu
The panoramic train journey provided incredible views, the organisation was superb as I was met at every point by a tour representative and I felt incredibly safe as a single lady traveller. My guide Martin was lovely and very informative.

Fantastic panoramic tour
This trip was really well organised. As a single female, I felt safe all the time as there was always someone to meet me and take me to the next location. The panoramic train was terrific and my guide Martin was superb.

Unforgettable Machu Picchu Experience
Our experience with this tour was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! We were picked up from our hotel in Cusco in a top-notch, comfortable vehicle for our drive to Ollantaytambo. The journey was smooth, and our driver was courteous and professional. Upon arriving at Ollantaytambo, we boarded the train to Aguascalientes, where we were greeted at the station by another friendly team member who guided us to the bus line to Machu Picchu.
Once at Machu Picchu, our guide truly made the experience unforgettable. She led us from the entrance to the site with a perfect pace—giving us plenty of time to take in the breathtaking surroundings without feeling rushed. Her knowledge of the rich history, culture, and significance of Machu Picchu was impressive, and she explained everything clearly and engagingly. Her passion for the history of the area shone through, making our tour informative and enjoyable.
At the end of our tour, the return trip to Cusco was just as well-coordinated. We boarded the bus back to Aguascalientes, took the train back to Ollantaytambo, and then were driven back to Cusco in the same comfortable vehicle. The entire day was seamless, thanks to the excellent organization and outstanding guide. Highly recommended!

Hassle Free Private Machu Picchu Tour
This tour was perfect! From start to finish, they took care of everything and guided us through the entire experience. They came to our hotel in Cusco the night before to go over details and the next day everything went according to schedule (and all on time!). Pick up in Cusco at 5:30AM, got to Ollantaytambo by 7:15 and had such a fun train ride on the vistadome train (the balcony train is so worth it!) reached Aguas Calientes by 9:30, then made it to Machu Picchu to meet our tour guide by 10:00. We made it back to Cusco by 7:30PM. It really took away the stress of trying to plan travel to and from Machu Picchu, including the tickets into MP. All the staff and guides were extremely kind and helpful. Shout out to Edwin who gave us an amazing private tour of Machu Picchu and also took iconic photos of us! Highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a hassle-free and memorable trip to Machu Picchu!

A perfectly coordinated visit to Machu Picchu!
We booked a last minute visit to Machu Picchu and did not know that tickets for the site were sold out for the day we planned to visit. Jhordy did an amazing job getting us tickets for a few days later and took care of every part of the plan, making sure we had a ride from our hotel to the Ollantaytambo train station, train to Aguas Calientes, tickets and guide for Machu Picchu, train back to Ollantaytambo, and drive to Cusco. It all worked perfectly and he was in constant communication with us to answer our questions and help. Highly recommended!
