Macchu Piccu is a amazing destination and our guide Miguel was a great at explaining the history and culture of the area. If recommend taking motion-sickness pills if you have a weak stomach. The rough winding roads of Peru can be hard on you.

Do not recommend this company. They advertised as Guaranteed circuit 2 in their listing when I booked this over two months ago and since have removed the claim. It’s long travel day and you barely there 2 hours at Machu Pichu circuit 1. The panorama train is let down nothing special. There is about three hours of time in agua caliente with nothing to do. The roads leading to Ollanta from Cusco are Rocky. and narrow and uncomfortable.i would recommend taking the train from Cusco and booking the ticket online and hiring a guide locally at Machu Pichu than going with this tour

We had an excellent experience from the moment we were picked up until we were dropped off. The guidance, assistance, and most importantly, our tour guide in Machu Picchu, were exceptional. The VIP service was impeccable; there were no lines or waiting times. His knowledge and the way he interacted with us, especially with my 11-year-old, were truly remarkable.
