This was super well...

5.00This was super well organized and a great tour. Highly recommend upgrading to the Vistadome train- the views were amazing! The tour guide, Yohn, was awesome, and very knowledgeable. The train back to Ollantaytambo had mechanical issues, and took about 4 hours to get back (rather than the usual 1.5 hours), and the taxi driver was still waiting for us when we got back! Great customer service!

5.00We had a fantastic experience on our Machu Picchu tour! Communication from the start was very clear and easy, and everything ran right on schedule, which made the whole day smooth and stress-free. Our guide, Julio, was incredibly informative and helpful — he shared so much fascinating history and made sure we were comfortable and well looked after throughout the tour. His passion and knowledge really made the experience special. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Machu Picchu!
Long day, but well worth it

5.00A long day starting with the 3am pick up at the hotel in Cusco - but well worth it. The tour operator had an English speaking representative meet us at pick-up to provide the tickets and advise us of the day's process before leaving us with the driver. Note that the day includes a drive of almost 2 hours to the train station, and then a train ride of about 1 1/2 hours (and the reverse on the return). The driver walked us to where you load the train (there is no 'station') - something we appreciated. When the train reached Aguas Calientes, Julio met us as we stepped off and then coordinated purchasing the bus tickets (for the bus that takes you to MP - another 20 minute ride). My wife and I are 65+, and in addition to a very informative and memorable tour of a special place, Julio was also very helpful in assisting my wife in navigating the steeper steps (thank you again). A heads up that 1) the train is cramped, and 2) give yourself time to locate the return train station.
Great team and great tour!

5.00Great team and communication. They sent me info the day before. The day of that someone to meet me at every point. Tour guide on the pintail was great and very knowledgeable. Well done. It’s not the tour provider’s fault but that Peru Rail train is seriously the slowest train in the history of the railroad. 4+ hours each way to get around 70 miles. I got off then train on the way back and took an Uber.
Once in a lifetime trip!

5.00Julio was great! He was so patient with our 6 year old boy. He waited for him to ask questions and answered him every time. He was also very aware of my physical abilities and took his time while walking through.
