This was such a great experience! Start to finish, every logistical detail was covered. There was someone helping us every step of the way and we had a full itenerary for us detailing out all our transportation methods. Excellent price given all the tickets and logistics involved. Would recommend to anyone going to visit Machu Picchu!
Amazing trip. We were so lucky to have such a great day. Warm and clear. We did the Circuit 3, and frankly didn't notice a difference from the Circuit 2 expereince and Circuit 3 is considerably cheaper. The train ride to Aguas Calientes is breathtaking. Starting in The Sacred Valley, going through the "Cloud Forest" and finally into the jungle where Machu Picchu sits. We did the Vista Dome package. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your amazing review!. We’re glad you had such a perfect day and enjoyed the journey through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu. Your insights about Circuit 3 and the Vistadome experience will be very helpful for future travelers. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Harold was a knowledgeable guide and he made the experience comfortable; even helping us with lovely photos at specific spots. Definitely recommend!
Thank you for your review! We’re thrilled to hear Harold made your experience enjoyable and captured great photos for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
a trip planned with a lot of attention and details, a lot of communication, all the collaborators very attentive, it is an all day trip, so I thought q always know that someone will be waiting for you is important, I went with my mom q has reduced mobility and all adapted to make it an incredible experience for both of us!
¡Muchas gracias por su comentario! Nos alegra saber que la atención de nuestro equipo hicieron que el viaje fuera una experiencia tan especial para usted y su mamá. Será un placer recibirlas nuevamente.
It was most informative using a tour guide. We used a private tour guide, Wilbuir and he was extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient. It's a lot of walking on uneven stones.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us!. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private tour; we’re glad the guided experience was informative and helped you navigate the walking routes comfortably. Thank you for trusting us!. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Peru in the future.
I travelled to Machu Picchu with some friends this past September. We happened to be there during the train strikes, leaving us stranded in aguas calientes. It was definitely a bit of a stressful time to be visiting, as we weren’t sure how we were getting back to Cusco, our bags got lost, etc. In spite of these challenges, Kantu guided us through the process, ensuring we got on a train to ollantaytambo, a van was waiting for us, and our bags were at our hotel in Cusco. All of this after a mesmerizing two day tour of Machu Picchu. Kantu was great, but the shining star was Christian - he is an incredible tour guide. Knowledgeable, supportive (as I struggled through the hike), kind, helpful, and 100 percent committed to showing us all that Peru had to offer. Without a doubt, ask for Christian as your guide!! He really was the highlight of the tour for all four of us.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!. We’re truly glad that, despite the unexpected challenges during the train strikes, our team was able to support you every step of the way, from securing your transportation back to Cusco to making sure your luggage safely arrived at your hotel. Your comfort and peace of mind are always our priority It also makes us incredibly happy to hear how much you enjoyed your Machu Picchu tour.

It was a pleasure to be part of your adventure, and we hope to welcome you back to Peru someday!
My private Machu Picchu tour with Kantu Tours was perfect from start to finish. The driver was on time, professional, and very safe on the winding roads, and the overall logistics were seamless. Everything ran smoothly and we were able to relax and just enjoy the beauty of Machu Picchu. Highly recommend Kantu Tours for anyone looking for a reliable, well-organized private experience! They took care of the circuit booking and even dropped off my tickets the day before to my hotel. Incredible attention to detail so I could relax and enjoy.

The trip around Machu Picchu was total amazing and Samuel was brilliant. Not often you go to a place which has such high expectations in your mind and then it blows your mind. Minor amendments to organisation and communication of the days events could have been slightly better but the visit was brilliant

We are delighted to hear that your visit to Machu Picchu was truly amazing and that Samuel provided you with such an excellent service We also appreciate your feedback regarding the organization and communication of the day’s events. Your comments help us continue improving our service, and we will make sure to reinforce these points with our team Thank you once again for choosing us.

This was our first experience in Cusco, and everything went perfectly. We were picked up right outside our hotel and taken to the train station, where they explained clearly which train we needed to take. On the train, we were given snacks, which made the journey feel special and enjoyable. The ride itself was very smooth and relaxing. Once we arrived, there was someone already waiting for us to guide us through the process — explaining which bus to take, which line to join, and making sure everything was organized. The staff even checked our bus number to confirm that our guide was already waiting for us at Machu Picchu. At Machu Picchu, our guide greeted us and explained which circuit we would follow. He was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the history in detail, taking photos for us, and allowing us plenty of time to enjoy each section at our own pace. He was very patient, even resting with us when the altitude became a bit challenging. After the visit, the guide stayed with us in the long line for the bus back, making sure everything went smoothly. He even gave us recommendations on where to eat afterwards. Later, we boarded the return train, and once we arrived, our driver was waiting to take us back to the hotel. The timing was perfect from beginning to end — no delays at all. Overall, visiting Machu Picchu with this team was an incredible experience, and I would highly recommend it.
Absolutely incredible, cannot recommend enough! I planned a surprise proposal for my girlfriend and they did everything possible to make it a memory we will never forget. Went above and beyond, helped coordinate a surprise photographer, romantic lunch, the works. Each guide, driver was so friendly and knowledgable. Communications before the trip to help coordinate were also amazing. I am so grateful to them :)
