Edu as our guide was the best that could happen during our Machu Pichu visit - I am so happy that I booked this very guide for my Machu Pichu visit. Edu showed us Machu Pichu as if it was his own home. He explained the story behind this extraordinary place with a passion I didn’t believe existed. You could see in his eyes that he loves his job, and he is a great story teller. He also knows that people want to take pictures and helped us a lot with showing us the right spots and took some pictures for us with high skills.
There is no need to search for any other guide. Just contact him and book!

You won’t find a better guide! - I wasn’t even planning on hiring a guide at first, but decided a couple days before and I’m so glad I did. Eduardo was incredibly flexible and easy to communicate with right from the start.
He is extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does, which made the entire experience so much more meaningful. You can truly feel his connection to the history and culture. We felt that he’s one of the “chosen people” that he spoke about on the mountain. He’s now sharing his knowledge with the world which is so cool and inspiring.
I can’t thank him enough for such a perfect experience. Highly recommend Eduardo to anyone looking for something special.

Fantastic Guides - Our tour guide was fantastic! He met us at our hotel in the morning, he was able to share lots of Incan history with us while viewing the ruins, and his passion for that history was unmistakable throughout the tour. He came with laminated photos to explain building techniques and the importance of the shaping of the town, how it used to look, and the people who inhabited it. Finally, our guide took the tour at our pace, which was a bit slower than normal due to some heavy hiking we’d done earlier in the week.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! - Firstly, we are a family of three. Jose met us at our hotel at 5:50am (as agreed since we had 7am MP entrance). He was very courteous and spoke great English. He walked us to a bus stop and told us at every step what is expected from us (multiple repetitive check points for passports and tickets). The tour was "supposed" to last for 2-2.5h, instead, the tour lasted for 3.5h !!!!!! WE LOVED IT!! Since the weather didn't serve us well the entire visit, Jose patiently waited at certain areas for the clouds to clear up so we could take nicer pictures (hence 3.5h tour). At no point he stood there silently! He engaged with us happily with various Inca anecdotes and folklore, history facts, and anything else that came to our mind we could ask. Even our son (9 years old) who was hoping for the tour to last for 10-15min (he thought he will be bored), was mesmerized by the site and Jose's knowledge in the subject matter. Having Jose next to us made our experience unforgettable. It was THE BEST DECISION we could've made during our visit to Maccu Picchu. It is definitively worth it!!!

Informative and well-paced Machu Picchu tour - Did Machu Picchu Route 2A with Edu and had a great time. He was very patient and knowledgeable, and explained the history and stories behind Machu Picchu in a way that was easy to follow and interesting. The tour felt well paced, never rushed, and Edu was always happy to answer questions.
He also helped us take photos at the best spots, which was much appreciated, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the walk. Overall a really enjoyable and informative experience - would definitely recommend this tour and Edu as a guide.
