Excellent experience in Machu Picchu - Excellent experience. It's totally worth it. I pick you EN your hotel and you are also dropped off at the hotel door. They explain the itinerary perfectly, organize the entrance to Machu Picchu, the train DE Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu and the bus to the entrance DE Machu Picchu. Communication ES good and smooth. I recommend it.

Amazing - A wonderful experience. Our guide Samanta was credible, a very prepared girl with a lot of patience. My husband and I made the trip with our 3-year-old baby who wanted to walk almost the entire way and she was very attentive to us. From our private driver to the transfers, everything is highly recommended.

Amazing day at Machu Picchu - Amazing day, very time scheduled. We got picked up around 8:25 am, the driver was on time waiting at hotel. It was about a 2 hour drive to the train station, we got there about 15 mins before our train was scheduled to depart, the train left on time, 11 am. The train was smooth, very clean & nice scenery. The train ride was about 1 hour & 40 mins. Once we arrived in Aguas Calientes, there was a guide waiting outside the train station to take us to where the bus leaves, we waited about 30 mins. Once we got on the bus, it was about a 30 min ride to Machu Picchu entrance. Once we arrived to there, the guide, Edwardo, was waiting for us. He was soo amazing!! Very kind & patient, spoke English well. He helped my mother to walk up & down the stairs. She was having some trouble via altitude in the beginning but adjusted after walking around Machu Picchu. Edwardo understood this & took his time with us. He took great pictures & videos of us. Edwardo taught us a lot of the history of Machu Picchu. We were on the last tour for the day, it ended at 5 which is the time Machu Picchu closes so Edwardo came back with us on the bus & showed us where the restaurant was located for included meal which was nice of him to do. Once we finished our meal, we had to get the train back. The same driver was waiting for us outside the train station to take us back to our hotel. I would recommend this company, they organized everything very well, they got all the tickets for us and made it hassle free to visit such a beautiful, popular site.

Excellent! - The experience with Andean was very pleasant regarding the flexibility with the organization of the tour; Yolanda was very friendly and helped me organize the itinerary to be able to present an interview. Machu Picchu was an invaluable experience and I recommend 100% the agency, I thank Uber for the good guide in Machu Picchu, the explanations, the nice photos and for the space to connect. Thank you!

Wonderful day! - We only had a couple hiccups with our trip, but overall it was wonderful. The driver was right on time in the morning and dropped us off at the train station. It was quite a wild ride, but we made it in record time. The train was good and our guide was waiting on the other end. We were surprised to find out that our Machu Picchu tickets were set for 8am, when we wouldn’t even arrive to Aguas Calientes on our train until 8:20, plus the 30 minute bus ride to the top. We ended up getting to the top by about 9 or so after waiting for bus and in by 9:15 or so after waiting in a long line at the top. This was distressing to us and clearly distressing to our guide as there is a 30 min window listed clearly on the ticket. Once inside, our guide did an amazing job teaching us a lot and taking great photos for us. We were so happy to be in a small private group. The lunch was good and we had a few minutes to shop around a bit. We easily made it back to the train. We had tickets on the way home that did not have our entire group together, which was curious, since we had booked the tour more than 4 months in advance. Upon returning to train station on the way home, we walked through the crowd of drivers twice and couldn’t find ours. I was able to message the agency and they responded quickly. The driver had not sent any communication until I reached out to the travel agency on WhatsApp. I would recommend the private tour as it did make things very easy, just working out a few kinks and it would have been perfect!

High price , bad experience! - Was not happy with the way company handled the tour. Supposed to be the full day tour; actual tour was about 2 hours and then being left in Aqua Caliente for longs hours.
Uncomfortable long driving back from hotel and back, 2 hours each way, it was exhausting... The whole tour was very poorly organized; their "delicious" food turned out to be average and scarce. Would not recommend.
