          Journey etched in my memory
          Hiram Bingham Belmond train to Machu Pichu is a wonderful experience. They take care of minute details throughout so we could sit back and enjoy Machu Pichu. They take care of the guide, entrance/bus tickets provided booked 45 days prior. Food, drinks and service are exceptional, the staff is really friendly and help with adjustments in food preferences without any issues. Journey includes 3 hour Machu Pichu site in one of the circuits, Guides are extremely knowledgeable and takes times to go around the site and enjoy each moment. Big shout out to our guide - Washington. At the end of the MP tour, there is celebratory champagne and delicious small bites. Highly recommend to everyone who don't wish or cant hike. Although the prices are on the higher end, keep looking for offers in their website

          An unforgettable one day journey to Machu Picchu
          I joined a one day tour to Machu Picchu and was lucky to be the only person in the group. The guide, Hector, was amazing and explained the history of the Inca civilization in great detail. I learned so many fascinating new things. It was an incredible experience, truly once in a lifetime!

          Well planned and comfortable ride with informative tour guide
          Very comfortable bus with many helpful accommodations such as bathroom and charging ports and high quality seats. We enjoyed the buffet lunch with fresh fruits and vegetables. We appreciated the bilingual tour guide Roli and his expert knowledge as a Puno native. The number of stops was perfect, and we got many bathroom breaks and nap time, and we learned about a variety of topics related to Peru history and culture. Thank you for the well planned trip for me and my family.

          my wonder list
          You are never too old to set new goals or dream new dreams. Visiting Machu Picchu has been on my wonder list since childhood. Machu Picchu has long been considered a site of spiritual significance, renowned for its healing and transformative energy. The ancient city is thought to have been a sacred space where the Incas connected with the divine. It’s possible that Machu Picchu was constructed for sacred purposes, reflecting the deep spiritual beliefs of the Inca civilization. The Incas revered their rulers as descendants of the sun god, Inti (pronounced in-TEE). After death, they mummified their rulers by removing their organs, preserving the bodies with alcohol, and relying on the cold, dry mountain air to keep the remains intact, ensuring a lasting connection to their divine ancestry

          incredible experience
          what an amazing experience we were picked up from the hotel by van promptly at the appointment time and went straight to the station. The Vista Dome experience was amazing and the right to aguas already breathtaking. MP guide was so knowledgeable and patiently answered all her questions even helped us find lunch places to go after the tour. We were always in close contact with the tours representatives all the way back to Poroy and into our requested drop off at cusco cityCenter!

          An amazing adventure.
          An amazing adventure! Rony planned a wonderful tour. He picked us up from our hotel and ensured we fully understand, and had the requisite tickets for, all aspects of our journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu; which entailed a bus, train, and another bus trip. Roy, our tour guide, was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Machu Picchu. He patiently answered our questions, told us some great stories, and took awesome photos. Many thanks to both for making this dream trip a wonderful and rewarding adventure. P.S. Be sure to bring a rain jacket, despite the forecast for the day!

          Machu Picchu - Top of the (Peruvian) World
          Fifty years after my first wish to visit this fabled location, the opportunity presented itself, and I took it. It was worth waiting 50 years! A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983 and designated one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, when blessed with good weather as I was, the scenery is astounding! There is little actually known about this 15th Century site, but the engineering and skills needed to construct it -- separate from the western knowledge of astronomy, cartography, printing, etc. - show how truly advanced the Inca civilization was, despite being hidden from the rest of the world. It's the #1 visited site in Peru, and for good reason!

          A little kitchy, but fun evening
          This is a dinner show restaurant, and it was a lot of fun watching the crowd sing along with some of the popular Spanish songs. An international crowd. Food was okay. Wait staff is good

          The views are spectacular and the insight’s given us by our guide made our visit so much more insightful and complete.
          We gained a more respectful view of the Incas and their amazing culture and intelligence. They were way ahead of their time.

          Take your breath away
          Get ready to acclimatize. Cusco is 11,000 ft and it os scarey at first trying to breath but they quickly take you down to 9000 ft for a day then to Machu Picchu at 8000 ft. By then, you can run around like a llama. Absolutely beautiful!
