Bucket list site to see with a tour that was organized and informative. - What an amazing day. We had a 4 am start in Cusco. The driver had all the papers we needed for the day. Train ticket, bus ticket, entry into Machu Picchu. Presented in a nice folder! There is a 1 1/2-2 hour drive to the train station. We had time to grab coffee and breakfast in the little shop at the station. The train ride was very comfortable with amazing views of the mountains along the way. I recommend bringing cards or a book. We were met at the station by our tour guide who took us around the town for pictures and we sat for second breakfast! All killing time, waiting for our tour time/bus pick up. The bus up the mountain was steep and I’m afraid of heights so I closed my eyes. At the top are bathrooms and storage for your personal items. I recommend a hat and/or sunscreen! Machu Picchu did not disappoint. We were on circuit three and I would pick it again. We got way more information instead of the classic instagram picture. We still had amazing pictures. Cesar was our tour guide and he was smart and funny! We had a fantastic day with him seeing and learning. The line to the bus was long to leave. I’d recommend one more bathroom break! We had about 1 1/2 hours to explore more of the town and shop! Omg so much beautiful handmade wool items! Then train to car ride home. It was a long day but wow was it amazing.

Amazing time at Machu Picchu - How wonderful an experience! Dennis's wide knowledge and kind manner really added to the specialness of this tour. He welcomed us and was well-prepared throughout. The driver was just as excellent—always on time and polite. Naturally the high point was Machu Picchu, which is really amazing. I would heartily suggest this tour to anyone visiting the area since it well beyond my expectations.

Best tour company! - The organizer, driver, and tour guide were all fantastic! They were all incredibly friendly, responsive, and accommodating! They all worked diligently to make sure my daughters and I were able to have an amazing experience at Machu Picchu. We did several other tours with different companies while in Peru and Cosmo Expeditions was hands down our favorite! The service was phenomenal, they went above and beyond!

Unforgettable Machu Picchu Adventure with great people. - Our trip to Machu Picchu was simply unforgettable. From our base in Aguas Calientes, we enjoyed a scenic ride up to the ruins. Spending the full day at Machu Picchu was the highlight of our trip. We were lucky to have Ruben as our guide—his deep love for his culture and knowledge of the site truly enriched our visit. He shared fascinating insights and made the history feel vibrant and alive. The beauty of the ruins and the surrounding landscape left us in awe. It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it!

Exploring Machu Picchu - Wow, what an incredible experience exploring Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley with Abel as our guide! From the moment we met him, his passion for the history and culture of the region shone through. Abel's knowledge brought these ancient sites to life, painting a vivid picture of the Inca civilization and its remarkable achievements. He took us to all the must-see spots and some hidden gems, making sure we got the most out of our visit. Plus, his friendly demeanor and sense of humor made the whole journey even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
