Fascinating and Memorable - An amazing 1-day machu pichu experience with Isao, a very knowledgeable and helpful tour guide from Peru Hikers. We thoroughly enjoyed the almost mythical experience, made alive by his comprehension of the history of the site and Incan culture. Book this tour rain or shine.

Best Experience- HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Our guide customized our trip to our expectations and our pace. This was the BEST TOUR, it was very detailed and smooth trip. The vista-dome was beautiful, we got snacks on the train and a great cultural show. Our guide was very knowledgeable and went with our pace as we were recovering altitude sickness. We got amazing photos, great history lesson, and experienced the sacred energies.

Top Notch Service! - The trip of a lifetime. Peru Hikers, especially Isao, took great care of us from beginning to end. Isao went at s pace that my husband, who has hip problems, was able to handle. He also kept it engaging and interesting enough to kid my three kids, ages 11, 13, and 15 excited. We loved every minute.

Hit and return - Departing from Cusco at 6:40, more than three hours of a slow, but scatteringly comfortable ride.
An excellent guide from PTS Peru, waited for us at the small Aguas Calientes to take us by bus (25 min) to the historic site. The visit lasted about 2 hours through circuit number 2.
On the return, a lunch, free buffet, half mouth, at the Totus restaurant, followed by a visit to the small town and the return at 17:30.
The observatory has an interesting party, with live music and typical dance in addition to bar.
The panoramic journey is impaired when it rains, common at this time.
I think it is better to stay in Aguas Calientes, as the city is very small and without attractions.

Excellent and well organised - It was so well organised and communication from the company via Whatsapp was excellent.
The journeys there and back were long, but they could not have done more to make you comfortable. The Vistadome train was really comfortable and the scenery beautiful. They provided snacks and coffee which was unexpected and welcome after an early start.
We liked Agua Calientes. We were given sufficient free time to wander around and feel the vibes of this town. We found a little restaurant called Tao, which was great.
The Machu Pichu part was well organised, it was a bit of a bum fight getting on the bus up there but it was well worth it.
It’s incredible, stunning and everything you would imagine, but the scenery.. Wow!!
I would definitely recommend this company

The best experience - The best experience! Isai was the best guide showed us the best of Machu Picchu and took the best pictures in the best places. She had a lot of patience with my mother who didn't have much mobility and was tired.
