Interesting tour of the archaeological site - The solvency of the Guide appointed by salkantay treking pleasantly surprised me with a lot of observations and knowledge regarding the history and hypotheses about the place, gave a plus to the visit.

Epic Machu Picchu Adventure! - Epic! Edward is fantastic with communication on WhatsApp. He messaged us prior to our trip to make sure we had our tickets and passports ready. He met us at our hotel, walked us to the bus line. It was very crowded and the guides work together to get you in safely. Edward spent a lot of time with us (more than we expected) throughout the Machu Picchu tour explaining the history and stories of the Inca site. He was also the best photographer in case you want to be insta famous. We are really appreciative for this your. Thank you Edward! It was epic!!!

Great experience for our family group. - We had Edward with us -- he is just awesome. He made the entire experience very smooth and pleasant (from taking the bus up to going around the site). Most important, we learnt a lot about Machu Picchu with his explanation. Highly recommend.

Good experience but some room to improve. - Overall the tour was good and the guide gave us very nice context. He spoke clearly and was relaxed and friendly. We didn't feel rushed but also we would have enjoyed a slower pace (which we did on our own the next day). Overall it took ~2.5 hours. But I wish it could have lasted a little longer. Price for a private tour seemed very reasonable. Communication over email was good, but some things I wish were more clear that can hopefully help future visitors: - I wish the guide had clarified more what to expect in Aguas Calientes. This would have been super helpful and remove a lot of anxiety about the visit. Lots of horror stories/reviews online. I told him I was pretty worried about buying the bus tickets on the day (I imagined hour+ long lines) and all he said was not to worry you can get them the same day. In reality, there was 0 line at the consettur ticket office and it was the easiest step of visiting machu picchu. I wish it was explained to me that bus ticket lines aren't bad. - I wish the guide had clarified that I don't need to line up hours in advance in the bus queue, and that there are separate lines by the hour and move each hour. we had figured this out quite quickly upon arrival, and it was a huge weight off my shoulders but I wish I was told this simple fact in advance so we'd worry less. - In the email we had agreed to meet in the square at 11:45am (our timed entry was 1pm). Upon arrival in aguas the guide emails me and said to meet his associate in the main square. but also that his associate didn't speak any english! this was a very surprising because I booked specifically so that we would have the benefit of the english speaking guide helping us navigating the chaos. In practice, there is not a lot of chaos to navigate, and its pretty easy to figure out assuming you have time to arrive and observe what's happening. We queued up at around 11:15am for the bus. When the meeting time approached, i left my wife waiting in the bus line while i went to the square to find the associate. I walked around at the agreed time for 5 minutes in the pouring rain until I heard my name. all the associate did was walk me back to the bus line. glad my wife was waiting there the whole time because we would have been way further back in line if we had just arrived. This step felt very unnecessary and awkward. a clear summary of what to expect over email would have been so much better. - The guide was waiting for us at the top of the mountain upon exiting our bus and he guided us all through the ticket scan line till the residential area of the city, where he ended the tour and excused himself while we could explore more. But in practice, because backward travel is not allowed, you don't get to explore much more and you just have to exit shortly after. I am glad we had a second visit the next day because we walked more slowly from the start and soaked in every part. but we appreciated all the context the guide had provided the previous day.
