We booked our Machu Picchu tour with Guiding Machu Picchu and it was one of the best decisions we made. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the team was always quick to answer our questions. David was a fantastic guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the hike even more enjoyable with his stories and insights. Having two chances to see Machu Picchu was also a huge bonus. Highly recommend!

An unforgettable blend of nature, history, and heart. The views? Dreamy. The guide? A walking encyclopedia with jokes! Reaching Machu Picchu at sunrise was surreal. This mini-adventure left a mega impression on me.

Our guide for the Machu Picchu trek was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the history, culture, and every stone of the ancient site was impressive. He made the whole experience come alive, sharing fascinating stories and facts that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. The hike was challenging but rewarding, and reaching the top with such a great guide made it even more special. I highly recommend a guided tour to fully appreciate the beauty and significance of Machu Picchu!
The trip was very well organized! Javi was a great guide and made the experience a lot of fun! Alicja kept in contact with us the entire time and made sure we had everything we need and were picked up at the right time and even customized the trip so we could get back earlier since we had an early flight without missing out on anything!
We did short Inca trail tour and it was fantastic. It was challenging so we really felt like we’d achieved something once we reached Machu Piccu, but it was also a really enjoyable experience. Our tour guide David and the tour company Guiding Machu Picchu were excellent from start to finish, he made us all feel like a team from the beginning, ensured we took plenty of memorable photos and was very knowledgable and passionate about the Inca trail, Machu Piccu, and the Inca history and culture. We highly recommend this trek and David as a guide!
