The Perfect Private Guide for 2 Days in Machu Picchu! - Booking Machupicchu Edu Tours was one of the best decisions we made on this trip. There are a lot of logistics involved in getting to Machu Picchu so we decided to book a private tour for 2 separate days - best decision ever! We were fortunate enough to have Edu as our guide both days. He was amazing! He met us at 5:00 am at our hotel for our Sunrise entry into Machu Picchu. It was wonderful to have such a knowledgeable guide lead us through each step. He walked with us to get our bus tickets to Machu Picchu, waited in line for the bus and rode with us. Arriving at MP, everyone seemed to know him and he guided us through the entry lines with ease. He also did the same on our second day when we booked a late afternoon entry to watch sunset. Inside this hidden city, Edu’s knowledge and love of the Inca civilization was truly magical. Not only did we learn about the Inca culture, we learned about the Inca philosophy, which opened our hearts to new ways of thinking. If you are going to Machu Picchu, book a private tour with them - it really is the only way to go!!!

Super knowledgeable! - We have a great time with Edu! He was so knowledgeable spoke English very well and provided a deep insight into the history of Machu Picchu! He took looks of pictures of us and knew exactly where we should stand. He stood in lines for us while we went to the bathroom everything was great! He waited for us while we were climbing up the stairs and shared his own pictures of other parts of the circuit we didn’t have access to. It was a great experience!

Highly recommend their private tour - Had a private tour with Edward Salas. He was very kind and professional. He explained things in detail, took lot of photos. We never felt rushed. He met us at our hotel and walked us through every step - starting from getting into a bus, going through admission line at Machu Picchu to covering Circuit 2 in detail. We highly recommend using them for your Machu Picchu.

The Best Decision We Made on Our Trip! - Our tour guide was fantastic! We ended up booking a private tour with him after he helped us find bus tickets that same morning. His rates were very fair, and I couldn’t recommend this experience more. We learned so much, saw incredible sights, and now have beautiful photos of my girlfriend and me to share with our families back home.

Great Private Tour of Machu Piccu - Getting to Machu Piccu can be challenging, but Edward made our experience as seamless as can be. He helped us navigate getting the correct tickets for entry, train, and bus. Once we were in (we did the panoramic track 1), Edward was a wealth of knowledge - he taught us so much about the history and significance of Machu Piccu within the context of Incan society and culture. He also took great pictures for us! Would 100% recommend this tour with Edward.

Knowledgeable and patient guide - Ruth was very knowledgeable and picked us up at our hotel to guide us all the way to Machu Picchu. She was very patient and waited for the fog to clear up while sharing her knowledge about the Incas with us. She took photos of us and answered all our questions. The only little flaw was that she was 20 minutes late in picking us up in the morning. Despite the late departure we did make it on time to Machu Picchu.
