5 Star Tour Company - As I was researching the 2 day group tours to Machu Picchu from Cusco, I noticed that we were over the maximum ages accepted. Viator told me that there was one private tour company that would guide us through Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, Cosmo Expeditions. Then to complicate matters, my husband fell while skiing. He would be on crutches for our visit to MP! Cosmo assured me that they would bring an extra guide to assist him, so he wouldn't miss out. They had tickets for 2 circuits, so he could choose between the easy circuit 3 or the popular circuit 2 which involves more climbing steps. On arriving in Cusco, we contacted our guide Ruben via WhatsApp, and were picked up at our hotel the next morning. The driver Luis and Ruben arrived at the agreed upon time in a comfortable SUV, with plenty of room for 4 adults and minimal luggage. The morning was spent exploring Chinchera (lovely alpaca weaving), and Moray Inca ruin. We didn't make it to the Maras salt mines, as we spent too much time shopping at Chinchera, and had a train schedule to meet. We had a lovely buffet lunch at Tunupa Restaurant with its lovely gardens. Then on to Ollantaytambo to see the Inca ruins and meet our train (Voyager class on Inca Rail). Rubin accompanied us to our hotel making sure we had no issues checking in. Early the next morning, he and the extra guide met us at our hotel, and escorted us to the bus. Then began our wonderful visit to MP, climbing Circuit 2. It took about an hour to reach the top, with rest stops as needed. Jim did great on his crutches, accompanied by one of the guides at all times. It was a misty, sprinkling day. Ruben did try to get that perfect picture by waiting for the mists to clear; but the mists persisted. He did get some great pictures of the 4 of us in the ruins lower down. Afterwards, we picked up sandwiches for the train ride back to Ollantaytambo. Cosmo treated us to an upgrade on the Vistadome carriage. We were met by Luis, and driven back to Cusco by a shorter route, arriving at our Cusco hotel in time for dinner. We had a wonderful time with our guides and driver. I recommend this tour company to anyone looking for a private tour. They are especially accommodating if you are seniors, or mobility challenged.

Beautiful Machu Picchu - It was a lifelong dream to get to Machu Picchu and it didn’t disappoint. Simply breathtaking. Ruben was friendly and knowledgeable. He had all of the necessary train and bus tickets on his phone. The taxi rides were all set up, with a friendly and skilled driver. All in all, an unforgettable experience.

Visiting Machu Picchu was an absolutely unforgettable experience - The sheer beauty and majesty of the ancient citadel left us all in awe. Our driver, Albert, played a big role in making the trip enjoyable. He navigated the winding roads with such skill and care, ensuring that we felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. The breathtaking views along the way, from lush green mountains to deep valleys, were made even better by Albert’s calm and steady driving. Then there was Rubén, who had been to Machu Picchu before. The way he shared his memories and insights was so genuine and effortless. He spoke with such a natural enthusiasm, painting vivid pictures of his past experiences and pointing out details we might have otherwise missed. Listening to him …

The perfect route to get Machu Picchu! - I have never before had such simple journey to Machu Picchu, so relaxed! From the moment we were picked up, the driver made sure everything was perfect using local recommendations and interesting local knowledge on the area. The excursion to Ollantaytambo seemed to be a particular trip all by itself; it was really enjoyable. The emphasis on detail truly drew me in wrong direction. Since the entire trip was perfect and free of stress, this is the best way to find one of the beauties of the earth. Highly recommended this trip based on its treatment and criteria!

An Experience I'll Never Forget_ - "Don't miss this opportunity! Visiting Machu Picchu is breathtaking, and Rubén and Albert will guide you every step of the way. I remember when we hiked up the mountain and watched the sunrise over the citadel. It was a magical moment I'll never forget. We learned about Inca history and culture and saw stunning natural landscapes. Peruvian food is delicious, and the accommodations were comfortable and clean. Rubén and Albert are excellent guides who make you feel at home. Thank you, Rubén and Albert, for the experience! I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking an authentic Peruvian adventure."

Wonderful Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu Tour – Highly Suggestible! - Everything was great from the time we started. After spending night in Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu was much more amazing than we had anticipated the next day. This trip was quite fantastic thanks to the company, meticulous attention to detail, and our guide, Martín. Surely advise booking this excursion! The schedule was well-organized, which let us see every feature without feeling hurried. Martín's background and enthusiasm for the sites' history truly improved our trip. This trip exceeded our expectations generally, and we came back with lifelong Peru memories.

best way to experience machu Picchu and sacred valley - This tour was the nicest one I have ever taken! Everything was neat and orderly from the Cusco pickup. On the first day, we toured the sights of the Sacred Valley and stayed in Aguas Calientes—which was fantastic. Our second day of exploration of Machu Picchu was quite breathtaking. Laura, our guide, added much more unforgettable value with her observations and tales.

Well-organized and memorable trip - I owe the crew much for such a well-coordinated journey to Machu Picchu. Starting with the timely pickup, our guide and driver were excellent, which made the journey to the train station entertaining and educational. We had the appropriate time at each of the well considered stops along the road. We arrived to Aguas Calientes following a picturesque train ride and were driven to a fantastic hotel. With the guide presenting amazing information and allowing us time to appreciate it at our speed, the Machu Picchu tour was fantastic. The Vistadome train return was such an interesting adventure. This excursion was absolutely well scheduled overall!

Smooth & Enjoyable Machu Picchu Tour - What a fantastic journey! From the hotel pickup until the Machu Picchu excursion, everything went without a hitch and under less stress. The van was clean and the guide was quite informed. I will never forget the train ride to Aguas Calientes; our stops were fascinating and precisely timed. The hotel was at a great location and really pleasant. Our guide made our Machu Picchu trip unique the next day by providing historical information and assisting in the finest picture capturing process. An interesting way to finish the day was the Vistadome return ride. This was really a flawless and unforgettable trip.
