An unforgettable day at Machu Picchu – made even better by an incredible guide

Machu Picchu was genuinely one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. The whole day with TreXperience was really well organised, from the early pickup in Cusco and the beautiful drive through the mountains to the Vistadome Observatory train and finally arriving at Machu Picchu. The real highlight, though, was my guide, Eric. He was incredibly knowledgeable and explained the history of Machu Picchu in a way that was interesting, easy to follow and never felt like he was just reciting facts. He took his time, answered every question, pointed out things I would never have noticed myself and made the whole experience feel very personal. You could tell he genuinely cared about the place and about making sure I got as much as possible from the visit. I did Circuit 1B and it was perfect for what I wanted. I was mainly interested in the classic panoramic views and understanding the history rather than spending hours walking around every part of the archaeological site. There is still around 10–15 minutes of uphill walking to reach the viewpoint, but it was completely manageable and the views were incredible. I’d heard mixed things about Circuit 1 before going, but I honestly couldn’t have been happier with it, and a huge part of that was down to how good the guide was. He made an already incredible place feel even more special. Circuit 1B took a total of 2 hours to complete, due to the crowd control now in place, at no stage did the tour feel overcrowded either. Easily a 5-star experience and one of the highlights of my entire South America trip.

10 out of 10

Roberto on every step of our tour (at the bus, at the site, even in town) exceeded expectations! He was phenomenal! Our route 2B tour to Machu Picchu was very much enriched by his expertise with the cultural and historical context. Would absolutely book again!

Great Machu Picchu Guided Tour with Roberto

Our guide Roberto was great! He shared his knowledge of Machu Picchu, its rich history and love of his native Quechua language! He patiently answered all our questions and knew all the best spots to take the classic photos. We would highly recommend Roberto!
