Excellent trip. - The experience visiting Machu Picchu was a lifetime memory. The travel from Cusco and awaking to start the journey at 4 am was tiresome. But once you get there it is worth it. The tour guide made the process very smooth from picking me up from hotel and transporting me to the train. Tickets will be issued using the WhatsApp so it is needed.

Great experience thank you - We are very grateful to the whole team for allowing us to visit Machu Picchu when there were no more tickets online. For this, on their advice, we had to leave the day before very early to go to Aguas Calientes. We were able to get first, which allowed us to get places for Circuit 2 🙏🏼 We also enjoyed the upgraded train ride back we took at extra cost with shows we recommend as well as private transportation to get back to the hotel in the evening. What we think could be improved, as we have been able to point out several times, remains the communication and organization a little bit right, which have brought us several times stress. Don't hesitate to raise and go fishing on the news. We still keep a very nice memory of this beautiful experience, thank you 🙏🏼

Wonder of the world! - What I will say is this experience was absolutely stunning. From the beginning my tour was on point with picking us up on time and making sure we had all our tickets. The bus ride was a little nerve racking but we made it safely. What I did like the most is that we got enough time for explanations and learning most things there is to know about the rich culture of the land. I don't envy the people who did this hike I will admit as a side bar. All in all this is a mandatory experience when you come to Peru. Do yourself a favor and book this experience for the early morning to catch the sunrise!

Machu Picchu with friends - This was a phenomenal day from all aspects… Jorge our guide, the weather, the sites. We did a 10 mile hike on the Inca trail leading up to the sun gates and Machu Picchu. Everything was breathtaking, it’s hard to soak it all in. Trip is super well organized and well worth the money for a life event like this. Highly recommend this tour to a group of friends or a family.
