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!!!

one of the most pleasant experiences of my life of course I will return someday not too far - hire the private tour was the best decision I could have made Edu was in touch at all times from the departure of the train in cusco to the pickup at the station machu pichu... we were about 2:30 hrs inside the citadel he is a very prepared guide first puts you in context so that you understand the tour apart from being an excellent photographer supported me with spectacular photos... I will return to the wonder and above all I will hire him again and 100% recommend 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.

Amazing tour!! - If you are wondering who/what tour to go with, I’d highly recommend Edwardo!! He is extremely knowledgeable about Incan history and culture (being half Incan himself!). He was so nice and friendly, also had a great energy to him as well! He was also happy to take any and all photos for you! (For reference we did circuit 2 and it was perfect!). I’d happily and easily recommend Edwardo to anyone, as well as use him again in the future if the opportunity presented itself! Thanks again for a wonderful tour of an incredible place!!

Highly recommend!! - Our family of 4 (2 teenagers) had Edwardo for a guide for 2 mornings. He was excellent! You have to have a guide at Machu Picchu if you want to know and appreciate all the history. I booked the guide and then messaged him about what circuits to do at what time each day. Edwardo picked us up at our hotel and walked us to the bus both mornings. He made navigating Machu Picchu stress free! Totally worth it. I would do exactly the same thing if I had to do it all over again.

The most amazing experience in Machu Picchu with very knowledgeable, kind, and fun experts - We spent two days at Machu Picchu, the first day we hiked Machu Picchu Mountain and the second day we hiked Huayna Picchu in the morning and did a tour of the citadel in the afternoon.. We had the most amazing time with both of our tour guides , Jose and Eduardo . They were both wonderful, kept us safe and had a wealth of knowledge about Machu Picchu, Incan history, the Flora and fauna of the area and made the education fun!!! Pro tip, they are also both great photographers and know all the best locations for the most amazing pictures!!! I am so grateful we had them with us for these two days. They enhanced our experience at Machu Picchu tenfold. I highly recommend taking one of them with you on your adventure!!!

Would highly recommend! - Excellent tour! Very informative! Spoke amazing English. Edu made sure we had all the required information prior to the tour, even supplied a necessary list to bring with us for the day. He picked us up at our hotel and helped us navigate the bus up to Machu Picchu. The tour was around 2 hours. He took so many photos for us and it was the perfect balance of information and free time. Would highly recommend doing this tour with Edu.

The Perfect Private Guide for 2 Days in Machu Picchu! - Booking Machupicchu Edu Tours was one of the best decisions we made on this trip. There are a lot of logistics involved in getting to Machu Picchu so we decided to book a private tour for 2 separate days - best decision ever! We were fortunate enough to have Edu as our guide both days. He was amazing! He met us at 5:00 am at our hotel for our Sunrise entry into Machu Picchu. It was wonderful to have such a knowledgeable guide lead us through each step. He walked with us to get our bus tickets to Machu Picchu, waited in line for the bus and rode with us. Arriving at MP, everyone seemed to know him and he guided us through the entry lines with ease. He also did the same on our second day when we booked a late afternoon entry to watch sunset. Inside this hidden city, Edu’s knowledge and love of the Inca civilization was truly magical. Not only did we learn about the Inca culture, we learned about the Inca philosophy, which opened our hearts to new ways of thinking. If you are going to Machu Picchu, book a private tour with them - it really is the only way to go!!!

Knowledgeable and patient guide - Ruth was very knowledgeable and picked us up at our hotel to guide us all the way to Machu Picchu. She was very patient and waited for the fog to clear up while sharing her knowledge about the Incas with us. She took photos of us and answered all our questions. The only little flaw was that she was 20 minutes late in picking us up in the morning. Despite the late departure we did make it on time to Machu Picchu.
