To be honest, this trip was prearranged and I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was incredible! Pickup from out hotel was right on time, took a smaller van thru the city to pick up other guests and then we moved to a full size bus where we met our tour guide, Rony. They provided a guide each for English and Spanish speakers. While it is a lot of driving, we made 4 stops that were each so different, beautiful and helped us learn much more about the Inkas than I would have gotten if I only went to Machu Picchu. Pisaq and Ollantaytambo were equally as stunning, lunch was in a beautiful spot by the river, many options for dietary restrictions or choices. The market was great to shop and it felt nice to be supporting a small community rather than in the city. Finally, the stop in Chinchero was very near to learn about the many traditions passed down and used in craft making. It was a long day but Rony is an experienced tour guide and made the day both educational and fun. Highly recommend and if possible, before you go to Machu Picchu to help you appreciate and learn about the valley and the Incan Trail.

Great day and all was well planned. Roy was a wonderful tour guide for us through the park. His knowledge and commentary enhanced the trip. This is a must do!

My sons and I took an incredible trip to Peru that included Machu Pichu and Cusco! It was simply amazing! Machu Pichu is breathtaking and our two days there are forever etched in our memory! I cannot thank our agent, Michael Waxman at Audley enough for helping plan this adventure! He was kind, attentive and listened to my boys about all the things they wanted to do! He made this bucket list trip unforgettable and worked within our budget! We can’t wait for our next trip!

This was an amazing trip. Viajes Pacificos and their team were amazing. From start to finish they took great care of us. Definitely recommend Viajes Pacificos if you are planning to come to Peru and Machu Picchu.

I had a great time. This is a very well organized tour. First, a representative, Lilas, met me in my hotel’s lobby. She made sure I had all the tickets I needed and carefully explained every steps I would go through during the day. She came with me to the bus station and made sure I got on the right bus. The bus is decent. It’s comfortable and I believe there is wifi, although I didn’t use it. There are also usb outlets to charge your phone. We were on the bus for a little bit more then 2 hours with a quick stop to use restrooms. There are very nice views in the second part of the drive. At the Ollantaytambo train station, the staff was very helpful in making sure we all got on the right train. The train ride was very comfortable with good entertainment, free snacks and great views. At the Aguas Calientes station, someone was waiting for me with a board with my name on it. She introduced me to my guide. I didn’t expect to have a private guide! Rudier was very helpful and knowledgeable. He gave me a lot of information about Machu Picchu and the Incas, help me take pictures and also made sure I had everything I needed. After the tour of Machu Picchu, I still had a bit of time before taking train back, so I had dinner in a small restaurant in Aguas Calientes and walked around the town and the big market just outside the train station. Then, it was time to get back to Cusco the same way I came in, train, then bus. At the bus station someone was once again waiting for me with my name on a board. They brought me back to my hotel. Overall, it was a perfect day. I felt completely safe. And the views!! Wow!! Magical!!

A large group of us took the train to Machu Pichu, a great way to travel. A real quaint train. Had a small band playing music to entertain on the way. A full bar car with both bar stools and lounge chairs for seating. There is also a small caboose to allow you to take pics in teh open air as well as enjoy the atmosphere. The meal that was erved was outstanding, great service.

This was perfect! I really enjoyed this tour. The train ride was so beautiful, the service provided on every part of the tour was amazing!

Wonderful experience. Very organized. Let us relax and just enjoy. Food was amazing, very good Peruvian cuisine. Staff and service was top tier.

Overrated experience Too long going and back Clean and good service Everything on time but don’t expect too much Price experience is not worth

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

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!

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.

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

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! 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!
