Worth every penny and then some. Your MP trip is safe in this groups hands - ask for Roy!

Siam_F, Apr 2024

Had an incredible experience with Roy at MP on this trip. We were 10 friends who all went together to MP through this tour group. Everything was organized very well and we felt everything was safe, organized, and comfortable the whole way. Our tour guide in the park, Roy, was incredibly knowledgable and had a great personality. We all wished we could have him with us for our whole trip in Peru! We were happy he shared a beer and meal with us afterwards as we tried some Cuy at his recommendation. An incredible trip that was the highlight of our time in Peru. Will hope to return have Roy lead us back to MP on a hike next time.

Heidi_R, Feb 2024

The tour was flawlessly planned and well organized. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Machu Picchu itself is breathtaking. The train ride was also a highlight. Book the Vistadome because it's worth the extra cost!

Dont use this company!

Heather_O, Feb 2024

We paid $350 for a tour of Machu Pichu with a tour guide. We did not have one set tour guide the entire trip but instead were dumped off at the train station by one guide, to have to find the next guide in the town. That guide showed up without our bus or Machu Pichu entrance tickets and had to scrcamble to get them sent via phone. That guide put another client in our group in charge of all of our bus and entrance tickets. A paying client had to takke charge because the company didn't! We got to Machu Pichu and again had to find our next tour guide. That guide stayed with us and rode back to town with us, only to try and pawn us off at some bad restaurant for lunch because he would get a kick back. When we all refused to eat there, his entire attitude changed and he became very angry. He made us go to the train station early so he could dump us off and leave. I will never book through Viator again.

Beautiful Views - Good Guides

Brittney9087, Feb 2024

Machu Picchu full day excursion was a wonderful experience. We were picked up by our driver at 6:40 AM and driven to the train station. We took the luxury train, we enjoyed it (you are provided an extra snack/drink) but if you are looking to save, the other train is attached and virtually the same. From the train we took the bus to the top where we were met by our guide Miguel. He was friendly, informative, and excellent at helping take pictures. He answered several of our questions and brought us back to the train at the end of our trip.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

DISCOVERING THE MARVELOUS INCA ARCHITECTORS

Crucita_W, Dec 2023

The building of Machu Picchu from the foundation. The way the Inca's planned how to bring the under ground water into their homes, the way the community was secured from anyone and from Pumas and bears.

Would absolutely co.e back

Peter_H, Dec 2023

Excellent and nicely organized.

Umema_H, Nov 2023

All was organized well and our guide Miguel was excellent. The Machu Picchu tour for the 3 hrs was nice and he was very knowledgeable. The car service, train ride and bus service were great too. The only thing is we didn't have a guide from hotel until the train ride end and a little confusion was there as we didn't speak Spanish, but on reaching out to the tour operator, all worked out well. It was a long tour but worth it!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

dear clients we thank you so much for sharing this feed back it helps us in everyday operations also we are very happy that you enjoyed at Machupicchu ,we will have in mind all your good words and always trying to do our best to be the best tour operator in Peru

Educational

michael_b, Nov 2023

The guide was very enthusiastic and well informed. He gave great explanations realizing that they lived there 500 years ago

Very good tour, a little more free time in Machu Picchu would’ve helped

henrykaminski, Nov 2023

The tour was very good. One constructive criticism of the tour was the tour guide Roy, spent a extraordinary amount of time giving us information about the bricks/rocks used to build the buildings. He was redundant. Also, the handoff between the different people involved with transporting us to Machu Picchu could’ve been better. We still thought the tour was very good.

Machu Picchu experience

Hodigere_A, Oct 2023

It was very well organised.They picked us from the hotel & dropped us back to the hotel.I wish we had more information on the transport as the train was from olleyantetambo rather than Cusco.We were told on the day that we have to travel till the train station in the bus for 2hrs as the Cusco station was under maintenance till December.This was not mentioned on the website. We were met by Roy at Aquosallentous station & he was our tour guide in Machu pichu.He was very good & I highly recommend him. We spent about 3hrs in Machu pichu & thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing tour and worth the money!

Kassandra_C, Sep 2023

We loved our tour! It was very convenient considering it takes quite a bit to get to Machu Picchu. We received the itinerary the night before the trip, I recommend following up with your guides to get the info sooner. We were picked up at 7 in a nice shuttle with air conditioning. We then were taken to the train station. We were on the Peru rail. The trip was nice, the staff were friendly and the train was clean. They provided snacks and drinks (free and for sale). After the train ride we met up with Juan Carlos and Veronica, our guides, who were really friendly. They made sure we got on the bus and guided us through the process which can get hectic. They were able to get us on the bus an hour before our reservation bc it was slow season. Miguel was our guide through Machu Picchu. He was very knowledge, friendly and overall an amazing guide. We had plenty of time for the tour and a ton of pictures. We took our time going through MP and had an hour left for dinner. They took us directly to a restaurant which had great food and provided quick service. On the way back the train staff did a fashion show which was a highlight of the trip. We were then picked up by Mariano our driver and dropped back off at our airbnb. Overall he highly recommend this service bc every part is planned. The convenience was great.

Amazing! Highly recommend!
