Great Machu Picchu tour with Eduardo - Eduardo was great and the communication was perfect with help getting from our hotel to the bus and then greeting us as we got off. Eduardo shared his wealth of knowledge and always with a smile and patiently answered our questions. He took extra care with one of our group that had some mobility issues. Request Eduardo when you are making your reservation.

Wonderful Tour Guide - We weren’t sure if we would hire a guide for Machu Picchu but are so glad we did. We met Edward in line for the bus in Aquas Calientes. He approached us about a tour and was not pushy. We agreed on a price and he took the bus up with us. Once in, he was very informative and patient as we wanted to take lots of photos. He was positive and seemed to know many people we passed along the way. Thank you Edward for a great tour!

A perfect tour of Machu Picchu with a great tour guide, Edwardo. - Edwardo was great. He arranged for someone to meet us at the hotel and get us on the bus. He was waiting at the citadel. One of our group needed some extra attention due to some balance issues and Edwardo was right there to help and adjust our tour to accommodate all of us. He shared personal stories and experiences and gave a great history of Macu Picchu, and always with a smile.

Engaging Private Tour of Machu Picchu! - Edu is a fantastic guide and generally just a very fun & engaging human to be around! He is deeply knowledgeable about Incan history & told me more than I could ever remember about Machu Picchu. I really enjoyed my private tour, and Edu’s presence & insights added so much to my experience of the sacred city. Highly recommend him if you’re in need of a guide for any of your Cusco and/or Machu Picchu adventures!

Fantastic Experience - We booked this tour ahead of time and communicated via WhatsApp. Responses were timely. We met our guide, Edward Salas at the train station and he guided us to the bus office to pick up our tickets and then to the boarding area for the bus to Machu Picchu gate. It was all seamless and very helpful. Edward was fantastic. He imparted his knowledge of the Incan history and culture in a very clear way and used illustrations and pictures to help us understand. He also knew all the best spots to take pictures and took many nice photos of our family for us. You could tell he was also respected by other guides because many other guides seemed to know and greet him. We did circuit 2 and finished in about 2 hours and never felt rushed. He truly made the experience memorable for us. Not only for the figures we have but for the appreciation of the Incan culture he imparted to us.

Best day ever! - We just finished a circuit two tour of Machu Picchu with Edwardo. It was one of best days of our lives. Edwardo is your man - request him! We purchased the private tour guide from Aguas Calientes (where we stayed to avoid the high altitude of Cusco). If you have any concerns about booking from the US or abroad, the logistics were seamless. There were multiple points of contact made before the trip, a woman met us right on time at our hotel, and walked and waited with us for the bus to the site. Edwardo met us right off the bus. He loaned us two soles each to use the only bathroom at the location bc we had not exchanged to local money. We made a self made error with our entrance ticket purchase (we chose to purchase on own and use the tour part only) and Edwardo calmly went completely out of his way to help us solve the issue. On the tour, he proved himself deeply knowledgeable and passionate about Incan history and culture and additionally knew every nook and cranny of the physical space. He conveyed the knowledge in virtually perfect English. We took as much time as we needed, in fact over 2.5 hours touring the place. He really unlocked the majesty and magic of Machu Picchu for us. On top of that, he helped us capture our day with amazing photos and video - even a rainbow! Do not hesitate for a second to use Edwardo for this once in a lifetime bucket list tour. Btw we overheard a couple of other tours and they just did not compare.

Melhor guia de Machu Piccju - Today I did the trial tour with Nancy departing from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu. Nancy is a wonderful guide, very caring and competent. She explained to me all the hostility of the Incas and Machu Picchu. It also guided me on other tours in Cusco. She welcomed me at the train station yesterday and took me to my hotel. He came to pick me up early today. I got all the attention from the world. I highly recommend that you invite Nancy for her walk in Machu Picchu. I assure you that Mrs. Perfect! Gracias Nancy!
