Each circuit offers a unique perspective of this ancient wonder, showcasing its stunning architecture, breathtaking terraces, and sacred temples.

I traveled alone but was always accompanied by the guidance of each process of the tour. I loved it, and especially the very good prices 🩷🙏🏽 excellent packages.
Querida Luz gracias por su comentario nos anima a seguir adelante, seguir creciendo y haciendo lo que mas nos gusta.
We had an excellent experience on our Machu Picchu day tour and would highly recommend this company. A special thank you to Tania, who was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful from the moment we started planning our trip. We had a few changes and requests along the way, and Tania was always accommodating, making sure everything was organised perfectly and that our itinerary would work smoothly. Her communication was excellent, and she gave us confidence that everything was under control. All of our transportation, train tickets, and logistics were arranged flawlessly, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any stress. Our guide at Machu Picchu was also wonderful. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of the site. Thank you to Tania and the entire team for making our Machu Picchu experience so memorable!
"Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. At Machu Picchu Peru Travel, we pour our hearts into every tour because we understand how special it is to visit a place like Peru — often a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Our greatest reward is knowing you're leaving with beautiful memories that will last forever. We hope to welcome you or your loved ones again someday! Here's what I improved: Personalized it with a name placeholder and your agency name Fixed the typos ("always", "want", "memories") Elevated the tone — warmer and more professional Strengthened the message about the once-in-a-lifetime experience, which is a great emotional hook Added a closing that invites future business or referrals Want me to adjust the tone — more formal, more casual, shorter, or in Spanish?
We have rarely encountered such a professional agency, concerned with the smallest details, making our stay in Cusco extraordinary. Tania made our trip a dream.

Estimado sr. Eduardo agradecemos su apoyo un saludo a la distancia desde Cusco.
We recently completed the 2-Day Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco with Machu Picchu Peru Travel, and it was one of the best-organized and most enjoyable tours we have ever experienced in Peru. From the very first contact to the final goodbye at our hotel, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for our experience. Communication was exceptional right from the start. The team was incredibly responsive on WhatsApp, answering all our questions promptly and patiently, even when we had last-minute requests and changes. Their quick replies gave us complete peace of mind as we planned our trip to Peru. The day before our tour, we received a detailed briefing (via WhatsApp and in person) that clearly explained the entire itinerary, what to expect, what to bring, and all the important timings. It was thorough and reassuring, which helped us feel fully prepared and relaxed. What impressed us most was how flexible and accommodating the team was. We had booked different panoramic train rides and specific circuits for Machu Picchu, and they seamlessly adjusted everything to match our preferences without any hassle. Their ability to handle these details smoothly showed just how experienced and client-focused they are. Our English-speaking tour guides were simply fantastic! They were not only extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and significance of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, but they were also genuinely friendly, patient, and enthusiastic. They went above and beyond by acting as personal photographers for our group—taking beautiful photos from all the best angles and even suggesting creative shots we would never have thought of. Thanks to them, we now have stunning memories captured perfectly. The entire tour ran like clockwork. The transportation was comfortable and safe, the pacing was ideal (never rushed, but never boring), and the contingency plans they had in place for weather, altitude, or any unexpected situations made us feel truly well taken care of. Everything was thought through so we could simply relax and enjoy the magic of the Sacred Valley and the wonder of Machu Picchu. If you’re planning a trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu, I cannot recommend Machu Picchu Peru Travel highly enough. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, flexible approach, and warm, professional guides made our 2-day Sacred Valley tour an unforgettable highlight of our Peru adventure. Thank you to the entire team—you made our dream trip even more special! We will definitely be booking with you again on our next visit to Peru. Highly recommended – 10/10!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 🙏 We're thrilled to hear that every detail of your Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu tour exceeded your expectations. Our team works hard to make every trip seamless and memorable, so your kind words mean the world to us. We can't wait to welcome you back on your next Peru adventure! See you soon! 😊
