Jose was very knowledgeable and did a great job informing/preparing us for what was to come. He was patient when needed and sped up when we wanted to. He made the experience much better and had suggestions for other things to do…

Had an awesome time with Jose Abad- he made navigating the bus in aguas clientes + getting to and from Machu Picchu very seamless. His English was also very good, and my bf and I learned a lot about the rich history of the Incas. Would recommend 10/10!

We had an amazing guide, he really made our day! I really recommend taking the private tour, if possible. Tonirio from Trexperience.

Rumi was a fantastic, very knowledgable guide. We enjoyed the private tour of machu picchu and Rumi had a great eye for family photos. Highly recommend a tour with Rumi.

We had a blast exploring Machu Picchu! José was a fantastic guide, great info about the structures but also added in a little history of Peru and the flora and fauna we saw. Would recommend to a friend.

Machu Picchu is a world unto itself. But our guide Fillio made it so much more. He was awesome. Picked us up at our hotel, took us by the hand and led us the whole way. He was so patient with us ( we were a group of 3 66 year olds).He even carried one of our friends backpack and held her hand virtually the whole way. His knowledge of the Incas was vast as he made the whole trip one big story. I can't imagine what our trip would have been without him.
If you book this, contact Viator and ask for him. You will be glad you did.

We had a great visit to Machu Picchu with Miguel. We were able to have a much better understanding of the place and it's history. Miguel also made sure we didn't miss any details and points of interest. He spent 4 hours with us and answered all our questions.

Manolo the man! Manolo was an awesome guide, he knew everything about Machu Picchu. No question was too much, and he was happy to go at any pace you liked. Importantly, he took Greta photos and was great fun to spend time with too! Thanks again senor!

It was such a great experience! My tour guide Nohemi was awesome! I'm so happy that I've used this service! Being in Machu Picchu was simply amazing and breathtaking! Pictures are nothing compared to being there to take in the scenery. I would totally recommend this tour!!!
