Seamless trip with a very knowledgeable tour guide! - Amazing trip! We spent several hours exploring Macchu Picchu. The views are amazing, but what really made the difference was the extensive history and commentary provided by our tour guide, John. He did a great job leading us through the key sites within the area, and it was meaningful to hear his perspective on Incan history and culture as someone who grew up in a rural town outside of Cusco. John was also a great curator of the experience, making the trip from Cusco to Macchu Picchu and Aguas Calientes very seamless for us, and he was very patient with my family as one of us has slightly limited mobility. Very memorable trip that I will be thankful for for many years to come!

Best experience in Cusco - Primoroso attention!! Machu Picchu tours gave us all the necessary support, we did not worry about anything, hotel, transfers, tickets, etc. John and Elaine gave us precious tips from the first contact, during our stay in Cusco and until the final moment. Tips like where to buy the best coffee, where is the best ceviche, among others. Luis is a very attentive guide, gives a lot of information and likes when you ask things, because of the chance to pass more information yet. I highly recommend!

Thanks Machupicchu tours!! - I've decided to do this tour by myself after doing a little bit of the inca trail, hoping i can enjoy more a little bit of the local people, the costums and the folklore of Perú, and thats what i've found, Machupicchu tours was really such an amazing choice, the knowledge of the tour guide, the service, the food, all was incredible and, no much common on Perú, everything just on time. Thanks to everyone.

Excellent experiencw! - We had 2 days MP trip. Despite railway accident on the route between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes John unfortunately were not alloved to board on the train (overcrowded, tourists were let first on the train after trafic resumes). There are no other posibilities to get to Aguas Calientes. It was a bit scarry moment as we were alone in the stuck train, however John was keeping to provide instructions via Whatsup and managed to arrange the alternative pick up service from the train station and alternative, very knowledgeable guide Rafael for next morning at 6.30 am. That despite Rafael just finished 4 day Inca trail! All this demonstrated highest responsibility, John's team spirit and hands-on approach so that we felt very comfortable of whats going on. As a result, we had not only very interesting excursion trough MP, but also an excellent climb on the Wayna Picchu. Higly recommended!.
