Incredible experience, well worth the money. Our guide Roberto gave us loads of information and made the history come to life. He was patient and offered loads of pictures of us, knowing all the good spots to take them. He was really friendly and knew so much about Machu Picchu. Couldn't recommend this highly enough!

Our guide made our trip great !

Our guide Roberto was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, patient and gave us an excellent time at Machu Picchu. We were inside for about 2-3 hours and he allowed us to have breaks as he provided information. He knew the best photo spots and even took a few photos of us. At the end of our tour, he recommended a restaurant with great value and yummy food. I highly recommend!

Wonderful (tr)experience !

There was a bit of chaos with the fire next to the train to Machu Picchu, but Roberto did his best to make this experience unforgettable! He gave us a lot of information about Machu Picchu and its history. ( also a lot of fun facts). He also gave us a lot of opportunities to take pictures and enjoy the view. We left the mountain with a great feeling! After the tour he made sure we got on the train safely. Wonderful experience! Would recommend!!!!

End to end service

Spent two hours with Roberto at Machu Picchu learning all about the history how this place was found and how the Inkan lived there. He answered all of our questions and made sure that we found the best photo opportunities.
