Private Tour Guide and Photographer - The Vistadome train was clean and comfortable. Lots of windows to take in the beautiful scenery. Our tour guide Saul met us at the train station and showed us around town. We had a nice sit down lunch at Full House. He accompanied us on the bus to Machu Pichu where we took a million photos. The guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. I would recommend this tour.

Isao is the best! - Isao was our guide for Circuit 3 in Machu Picchu. Literally would not have been the same without him. He was an excellent communicator, sharing logistical details that were so helpful and wonderful historical details. Also, it was incredible to have him take family photos for us throughout the tour. I couldn't imagine having gone to Machu Picchu without him and I will definitely send anyone I know to him who goes to Machu Picchu. Thank you Isao!

Incredible tour! - From start to finish this tour was amazing. It was super organized and there was great communication with the tour company at all times. We cannot say enough things about our tour guide Isao. He knew absolutely everything about Machu Picchu and the history of the Incas. He always made sure we were safe and comfortable. He took his time with us and he took the most amazing pictures . The photos look like they were taken by a professional . We loved everyone of them! I highly recommend this tour and I would definitely recommend Isao as your guide!

Excellent Trip to Machu Pichu - Amazing experience visiting Machu Pichu. Well organised tour and pick up from Hotel by our driver Ever. Lots of good comms and we got the bus/train without any issues. Just check your tickets for the train as we did not have seats together but the train conductress helped and we sat together. Thank you PeruRail.
We met our guide Isa at the station in Machu Pichu station - Aguas Calientes. All very easy and friendly, we got on the bus to the site.
Despite the initial fog, when we got there the sun arrived and we had a perfect view. The guide Isa, very knowledgeable and friendly and made everyone welcome. He also took so many pictures for us individually and as a group and he was much more professional than me and his photos are the best!!
We took Circuit 2 but applied for tickets 3 months before, all organised via Peru Hikers, the Peru Govt website is quite complex to navigate.
Trip back was also easy and without any problems and we even had time for lunch before we caught the train.
All round excellent trip and highly recommended from Peru Hikers and lots of thanks to our guide Isa who was excellent.
Don’t want to write too much about Machu Pichu as you should see it for yourself.
Highly recommended tour and you must visit one or the wonders of the world.

Isa is the best Tour Guide. Amazing Experience and Photos!!!! - Our Machu Picchu tour with Isa was absolutely unforgettable. He is not only an excellent guide but also an amazing photographer—he made sure we saw all the best views and captured them perfectly. Isa genuinely cared about giving us a unique and personalized experience, making the tour feel exclusive and special. Machu Picchu has always been a dream destination for me, and having Isa as our guide made it even more memorable. We highly recommend him!!!!
