5.00Joel was incredible. Very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining all of the intricacies of Machu Picchu in an easily digestible but informative way. The trip was extremely well organized. I got picked up and dropped off right in front of my Airbnb. The whole process was seamless and very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Peru Trekkers if you are thinking of visiting Machu Picchu.
Do not recommend. Incorrect booking times caused us to almost miss Macchu Picchu

2.00As recommended, we booked 2 months in advance. From that point the trip is in the organizers hands, in this case PeruTrekkers. They sent us the tickets the day before our trip to Macchu. The ticket entry time to the ruins was 7:00 am. The train they booked us left Ollantaytambo at 6:40 am. It is over a 1.5 hour trip to get from Ollantaytambo to Macchu. This caused us immense stress especially because it is explicitly stated that you have a 30 min window to enter Macchu and it is strictly enforced. We tried to call the contacts provided (Peru trekkers number via viator) to inquire with no response to our calls. Through messages we received very unhelpful responses. They refused to address that there was a timing discrepancy and just reiterated the contents of our tickets. As there were no earlier train options we had to go with the train that was booked for us. We arrived to Aguascalientes at 8:10 am where our guide was waiting for us and he was very frustrated with us, thinking we had arrived over an hour late. He told us that that we would need to explain to the Macchu entrance personnel why we were so late. There was no person who was accountable for the mistake except for us, when we had no part in booking these tickets. We arrived to Macchu at 8:40 am and were denied entry for the tickets we had, of course. We were lucky that the “controller” at Macchu who deals with these issues allowed us delayed entry if we waited until 9:30 am, which was not bad. But there was no help through this process by our guide, he didn’t stay near us or help translate for us if needed. We were admitted at 10 am thankfully (because at this point we were so grateful to just be allowed in.) Our guide took us around and gave us historical context and he was fine but the stress of entry definitely took a toll on our whole experience. Overall, I would recommend booking your own tickets and if you want a guide, hire one at the entrance they are all very kind and enthusiastic. I am beyond disappointed in this experience and it is not cheap. Visiting Macchu Picchu was a lifelong dream of mine and a once in a lifetime trip and it was significantly negatively impacted by the incompetence of this booking agency.
Great and very informative tour

5.00We did the Machu Picchu Circuit 2 guided tour (privat) at 6am in the morning. Joel was a great Guide, to be honest the best one we had in Peru so far. He texted us one day prior the tour and offered a briefing in our hotel. The morning of the tour he picked us up in time and together we took the bus up to Machu Picchu. Once we arrived, Joel gave us a lot of information and he could answer all of our questions in great detail. He gave us more than enough time taking photos and enjoying the great atmosphere of Machu Picchu. We also did Circuit 3 one day before, but we weren't that happy with the guide we had before. So the next time we would definitly ask for Joel again!
Exceptional tour guide

5.00We had an amazing experience with our guide, Joel, who met us right on time as promised when we got off the bus. He got us in quickly and was very knowledgeable about the history of Machu Picchu. My mother and I had plenty of questions about the history for Joel, and he answered them with detail making us feel like we got our value. On top of that, he took the best photos of us, stopping at each picturesque point, even giving us pose ideas and taking plenty so we had options to choose from. He was patient and we never felt rushed. He also helped my 65 year old mother going down some of the stairs and offering breaks when we needed it. Thank you so much to Joel! Overall a great experience and everything was coordinated well for us. We left feeling very happy!
Amazing experience!

5.00The Machupicchu 1 day trip was very well organized and thought out. Our guide Lizandro was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience that much better. From meeting us at our hotel in the morning, to guiding us to the buses , and then guiding us through the ancient ruins, lizandro made this trip complete. He is also a very good photographer and videographer, as I proposed to my girlfriend during this hike and he was there to capture the moment. Amazing trip. I would 100% recommend booking through them.
