Visiting and knowing Machu Pichu is a unique experience, knowing the wonder of the world is really impressive, 100% recommended
Amazing views. Tour guide and photographer Mike were awesome! Thank you for capturing my proposal. Definitely recommend.
Stellar service. They (Mike & team) came to brief us on what to expect and hand delivered all required tickets the night before. They even brought a snack bag for each of us. Morning driver picked us up from our hotel was punctual and despite the road to Ollantaytambo being closed, he went around the back way and still got us to the train station 30 minutes early. Isaac was our Machu Picchu tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable. It was only me and hubby so we got plenty of one-on-one. Isaac is also studying photography in school so he took so many great pictures of us and for us. Then we all 3 rode the train together back to Ollantaytambo where another personal driver took us right back to hour hotel. Highly recommend. It's worth paying the extra to get the one-on-one care and service.
My team and I had a wonderful experience with Amaiaq. Mike, Brian and Ari were great guides and made us feel safe, welcome and well guided. They did not push on us and were gently with my teammates and the ones who were slower while hiking down the stairs of Machu Picchu. I would highly recommend touring with these guys, especially if you aim to plan a bigger/more adventurous tour. :)
