Our Guide Made Our Experience Amazing - Great tour. Cesar, our guide, led us through the citadel and shared his incredible knowledge of the site with us. He was also very thoughtful of the best spots to take pictures and take in the best views.

Amazing Trip to Machupicchu - We had a fantastic tour of Machu Picchu with Jorge explaining all the history along the way and answering all of our questions. He took his time to make sure it didn’t feel rushed and really made the trip amazing. He even went above and beyond and showed us food places to eat and shop, and help line up transportation for the next day! All around amazing tour.

Educational and memorable tour - Fantastic. If you can't get the circuit tickets that you want, book a tour here as early as possible and be prepared. They know the place very well and have lots of great info to share. Highly recommend! If you can get entry into the site, you will have a great time.

Cosmo Expeditions and Dennis - the best in Cusco! - We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Cosmo Expeditions in Cusco. Dennis, went above and beyond to make sure every part of our trip was seamless. He was honest, reliable, and incredibly resourceful — he even helped us secure the very hard-to-get Machu Picchu tickets, something I didn’t think would be possible. What really stood out was Dennis’s willingness to help not just us, but even a group of visiting high school students who couldn’t find tickets because they were sold out. He somehow made it happen for them too, which speaks volumes about his dedication and connections. On top of that, Dennis had excellent recommendations for everything. He communicated primarily on what’s app - so all questions were answered quickly. His communication was clear, prompt, and made the whole process a turn-key experience. I never had to stress — everything was handled smoothly. If you’re planning a trip to Cusco or Machu Picchu, I can’t recommend Dennis and Cosmo Expeditions enough. They truly made our adventure unforgettable!

Ask details before you book - I visited Machu Picchu about a week ago , with this tour I booked around 2,3 months ago. Everything was ok, till at the entrance I found out I only got tickets for circuit 3, when I thought the tickets are for circuit 2 and 3. My mistake… I should’ve asked before I paid the trip . However, my guide , Julio Cesar,managed to get me into the circuit 2 also , so I was happy in the end.

The experience was great... - The experience was great besides the fact that the tour guide tried to charge extra because of circuit choices. My pick up was supposed to be at 8am as booked on the website and it was very difficult to coordinate the pick up time with the tour guide. The hotel pick up was not included and the explanations about the site was standar. I would recommend the tour to anyone but to be very careful with how the tour guides manage to make the experience memorable. In the ticket theres no option of circuits and also if theres a change in plans it should be justified in the bill not by third parties asking for more than what was included in the tour...
