Private tour meant no waiting in long lines

5.00At my age, standing in long ticket lines is painful. That’s why I booked the Machu Picchu Private Day Trip. The guide handled absolutely everything bus tickets, entry passes, even bathroom stops. We walked right past dozens of people waiting. He also spoke slowly and clearly so I could understand his English. The train ride was comfortable. If you have mobility issues or just hate queues, this tour is for you.
Romantic and educational perfect combo

5.00The 2-day Machu Picchu & Sacred Valley tour was a wonderful mix of romance and history. We loved wandering the Ollantaytambo ruins at sunset with almost no other tourists around. The hotel they booked for us was charming, with heated blankets and a great breakfast. Day two at Machu Picchu felt a little crowded, but our guide knew exactly where to stand for quiet moments. Highly recommend for couples who want more than just a photo op.
Solo traveler's dream safe, seamless, and spectacular

5.00I was nervous about booking a private tour as a solo female traveler, but this company exceeded all expectations. The driver and guide were professional, respectful, and fun. They adjusted the pace to my interests I wanted extra time at the Sun Gate and less time at the souvenir market. No pressure to buy anything. I felt completely safe the entire day. Machu Picchu is magical, and seeing it this way made it even better.
Adventure with friends.

5.00Thanks to Salkantay Travel Peru, 100% recommended, who helped us with the entire experience on Rainbow Mountain. They had everything planned in case someone had altitude sickness, which was helpful for a friend who had that issue. In addition to all the explanations and recommendations they gave us, which were very helpful during that visit.
Amazing adventure in the Mountain of Colors

5.00We did this tour in February as a couple and it was a spectacular experience. Driving ATVs through the Andean landscapes was a lot of fun and a different way to get to the Mountain of Colors without a long walk. The views were stunning and everything was very well organized. We definitely recommend it for those looking for adventure and unique landscapes. 🏔️
