  This was a very well organised tour using Zoom and Whats App to share documents and instructions before we travellwd to Peru. Full information was provided in advance but I hadn't realised that you need to book the park Tickets two months in advance. Nixon was able to complete the forms to allow an emergency entry pass to the park and that we were able to pay additional fees, such as for Paul the private tour guide and for the early train to return to Cuzco. We travelled from Cuzco at 3.30 am where it was 7°C so we were wrapped up and by lunchtime at Machu Picchu it was 21°C, so were were overdressed. On our return to Cuzco at 6.20 pm the temperature had dropped to 16°C, so the down jackets were worn again. Be prepared for the weather and wear suitable footwear. We had planned to walk down to the village but after completing circuit 2 in the heat we were too tired and had to purchase the additional shuttle bus tickets down to the village and station. We were very impressed with the tour company as they arranged us in groups at the start so that we can board the correct minibuse in an orderly fashion. Once at the railway station our group was ushered to the waiting room by railway staff dressed as Inca. They held signs with the carriage number to help us board the correct carriage of the train. We were met by Paul our guide who used Whats App to contact us and to guide us to the shuttle bus taking us to the start of our walk. We thoroughly enjoyed Maccu Picchu and would recommend Nixon to our friends and family. A shout out to Paul our guide who was very patient with us. Points to note - Buy an eSim such as HolaFly so that you have unlimited data. Latin pass works very well in Brazil, Argentina and Peru. Open a WhatsApp account so that you can be contacted by Nixon and your guide Keep you passport handy as the tour staff in Cuzco, train staff, shuttle bus staff and Park staff will request to see it. Keep your travel tickets handy. I took screenprints. Take plenty of water and some snacks, there are restuarants in the village and a snack bar on the station. You may also purchase snacks and drinks on the train. Take a hat, sunscreen and insect repellent and use them. A waterproof jacket in case it rains. Take and keep a half a roll of toilet paper in your rucsack as the toilets do run out. Due to the Peruvian sewage system, place your used toilet paper in the bin provided. Take change to use the toilets (banos) 2 sole per visit (50p approx) Keep an eye on the time so that you factor in shuttle bus times, train boarding times. Check your train boarding time and train number. Take screen prints of your Park pass, bus and train ticket and the shuttle bus ticket. They will use the QR code when checking them. Sign up to the Apps used by your airline so that you can access your travel details remotely especially if your flights have changed. Mine certainly did. Finally bring a charged battery pack, you certainly will need to use it. Enjoy the sights, they are fantastic and learn more about the Inca culture and history. I hope you find these tips helpful. We were thoroughly satisfied with Nixon and Paul and would recommend them to you.

  Very happy with the tour. It was very well planned and executed. Nixons team got in touch the day I booked the tour to understand my needs and help booking the tour accordingly. Highly recommended.

  Navigating the journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu is not easy. And without advanced tickets, it’s even more complicated. Our guides walked us through every step of the process and were available and responsive at all hours of the day. Literally, we contacted them at 2:45 am on the wrong day of our tour(totally my mistake!) and they were still responsive. I can’t count how many times we needed the details explained, but they remained patient. Machu Picchu is a once in a lifetime experience, and I am glad having found this tour group
