Itinerary
- 1The tour starts with a pickup from your hotel in Cusco at 5:00am and drive to Ollantaytambo train station in our private transport. Enjoy the first views of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. On your arrival to Aguas Calientes, our guide will be waiting for you and board the bus up to Machu Picchu to enjoy an amazing private guided tour of Machu Picchu for about 2 hours then enjoy a delicious buffet lunch. Later board the train back to Ollantaytambo where our private transport will be waiting for you and take you back to your hotel located in Cusco. • Train times may change according the booking time and will be provided according the train company timetable availability. Important note about Machupicchu: The Peruvian Ministry of Culture changes the rules to Visit Machupicchu and split into 2 entrance times. • AM Entrance: from 6 am – 12 pm. • PM Entrance: from 11 am – 17.30 pm. Visitors must leave the site within the time frame stated, and cannot re-enter once visitors have left the site. Visitors and guides who don’t enter and leave within the time frame stated, will be assisted to the exit by the competent authorities! You have been warned. • For the full day tour, we will be visiting into the second schedule (11:00am to 17:30) as the first schedule (6:00 to 12:00) won't be convenient because the visit time could be too short like 2 hours only.

- vanessamD2814MU0 contributionsGreat tour guides and itineraryMy family and I just completed our two day tour of the Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu and wanted to share a review of our experience with our day 1 tour guide, Gary, and our day 2 guide, Luis. Both Gary and Luis were professional, on-time, and had tons of knowledge about Peru and the locations we visited. We really appreciated hearing from them and recommend them, as well as this tour company, to anyone that wants to visit with their families or friends!Written December 30, 2024
- John R0 contributionsGreat way to get away from the over toured sites and be exposed to more local culture.I highly recommend this trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable and welcoming. Everything went according to plan. Great opportunity to see other sites Cusco that are not overrun with tourist. The scenery was beautiful, we learned a lot, and had more exposure to local culture.Written December 28, 2024
- EDsBucketList0 contributionsMachu Picchu great! Booking experience not good. Driver in return trip horrible!Machu Picchu is great. Guide is only ok, but his videography is good. App not clear how to book salt mine side trip and missed. The biggest disappointment is the return ride to the hotel. Driver took the whole gang to the wrong address about 12 min. away. One tourist has to jump ship and order a taxi. I hope he made it to the airport on time. Driver did not announce his intentions of how to drop people off. He was extremely rude and said no when I just needed to jump into the hotel for another tourist to do a number 2. Why, he had to pick up his wife around the corner! After a long while, finally found my hotel. Totally destroyed the great trip to just a trip!Written December 25, 2024

They picked us up from the hotel lobby, explained how the day was going to go and what to expect. Made sure we had no questions. Ramon our driver went above and beyond and got us to the gate of the train station by foot because there were too many cars to get through. Then after the train ride our guide Michael met us and took us through many historical sites, along the way stopping at the best sites for pictures and was able to answer whatever questions we had. Overall great experience. Was way better booking private. Felt completely safe and secure, stress free, which is important when traveling in another country. Don’t hesitate, book with them. You won’t regret it!

It's been my second time to Machu Picchu. I'd rather recommend taking the two day tour (which I did last year) as the ratio of time spent in the car and train compared to being in Aquas Caliente and visiting Machu Picchu is quite exhausting. Give yourself some time and enjoy it even more.
Fredi and his team were doing an amazing job again. Very well prepared, super punctual and always willing to help. If you spend some time around Cusco, book one of their trips.

The owner met us in the lobby of our hotel and explained how our day would go. Asked us if we had any questions, introduced us to our personal driver, who then took us to the train station. There was so much traffic when we got to the train station. The driver parked his car and walked us up to the gate where they took our ticket and we loaded the train. Michael met us as soon as we got off the train and led us around Machu Picchu including many historical facts. He took as many pictures as we wanted and pointed out some good spots as well. I cannot say enough about how incredible this experience was. This company made us feel as if we were in good hands from start to finish. It was a huge help and took much stress off of traveling in a foreign country. It made our family vacation that much more enjoyable.

This was my first time in South America and first time seeing one of the 7 wonders of the world. We had Miguel guiding us and he genuinely made the experience. He told us about history, took professional photos and showed us everything we could see at Machu Picchu. From there he brought us back into town and even got us on an earlier train to go back to Cuzco.
Miguel was the MVP of the trip. After spending time with him on this tour I completely understand why everyone knows him and says hi whenever he is around. No better guide to see Machu Picchu with than him!

Perfect experience. Bryan was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable & friendly. Everything was smooth from the pick up in the morning, train ride, to the drop off at the end of the night. I would highly recommend this tour if you prefer to take on Machu Picchu without a 10-20 person group! Well worth the money spend.

Fredi ~ Tour Operator from MachuPichuLatinAmerica did an awesome job in scheduling, booking the MachuPichu Circuit 1 activity in the last minute for 12/25 at 10 am . He ensured the itinenary was shared and clear with the detailed instructions. He also ensured that the pick up and drop off at various points from/to hotel; train ride from Ollantaytambo to Auguas Calientes; Bus ride from Auguas Calientes to MachuPichu along with the lunch was well coordinated and orchestrated. Will look forward to doing this trip once again in the future with Fredi.

Everything about this trip was first class. The tour team was always there to help and keep us moving through the lines....always a great explanation of what we need to do and where we needed to be. Our actual tour guide was very knowledgeable. I know this tour is a bit more expensive, but when you are there and get to see how complicated the process can be....it's good to pay the extra money and enjoy the experience.

I did my tour with this company last week and I can’t say enough good things about them. They were on time to pick us up from Cusco in a comfortable car. They were able to communicate effectively and move us around in an organized way even in the chaotic environment (lots of tourists). We had two tour guides for the two circuits we did and they were incredibly kind and had so much knowledge about Machu Picchu. I totally recommend them if you want to have a no-worries trip.

Let's be real: Machu Picchu is the "main event" for any stay in the Cusco region. And for those of us not willing/able to hike the Inca Trail, a solid day trip is key to experiencing this wonder of the world, and that's exactly what this was. Everything was planned out for us in advance, and this company has it down to a science. We were picked up from our hotel in Cusco, driven to Ollantaytambo, given an easy-to-manage set of tickets for everything we needed for the day (round trip vistadome tickets for PeruRail, round trip bus tickets to get up and down the mountain), were greeted when we got off the train, were met by an amazing tour guide (Paul) who showed and taught us so much about Machu Picchu, all while answering our questions and taking all the pictures we could have ever dreamed of. This is the ultimate day trip to see this amazing site, and we could not be happier with the way everything went!

This is an amazing tour, but our guide made a huge difference . Efrain F. is so knowledgeable about the history of Peru! He gave us so much insight about not only the history but the myths and legends of the locals. He made our experience superb and also gave us so many tips about where to eat, how to take care of ourselves, and where to buy stuff. He is so friendly, polite patient, kind and made time to accommodate our needs and preferences. There was no question he did not have an answer for! I absolutely recommend taking this tour and make sure to request Efrain F. As your guide!! It’ll make the whole difference!
