“Our guides were literally the best! We couldn’t have asked for better! The only thing we would recommend to improve on. My husband and I train tickets were not seats next to eachother and the whole group was on different trains on the ride back. The bag drop off and transportation back to our hotels process could improve. There was a lot of waiting around and extra steps that seems could be done more streamlined and organized especially when participants are tired and ready to go back to their hotels. Thank you!!”

The only thing I wish that this tour had was a guide with you from start to finish, as it was a bit confusing how we…”

It was quite a wild ride, but we made it in record time. The train was good and our guide was waiting on the other end. We were surprised to find out that our Machu Picchu tickets were set for 8am, when we wouldn’t even arrive to Aguas Calientes on our train until 8:20, plus the 30 minute bus ride to the top. We ended up getting to the top by about 9 or so after waiting for bus…”
