Great Day at Circuit 2

Samu was a great guide. He was prompt, provided helpful information about Machu Picchu and was patient with my 6 year old daughter. He sent us nice pictures and knew exactly where to go for beautiful shots of Machu Picchu. Weather was great, and for Circuit 2 we spent about 2h inside. He also helped us navigate the bus and other logistics. Thanks Samu!

Magical

Experience wonderful. Once in a lifetime. Admission fee high, butI guess there is reason for it. Length of visit perfect.

Private Tour at Machu Picchu

We had a great time with Samuel. He met us at our hotel to guide us to the bus terminal and through the entrance process. Samuel is very knowledgeable and was able to share history of Machu Picchu and answer my questions with ease. He is a good photographer and took great photos for our family. We had a great time with him. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience!!

My friends and I had a fantastic experience visiting Machu Picchu with Trexperience! Everything was really well organised, from the bus and train to the communication beforehand, which made the whole trip so easy and enjoyable. We were also lucky to have amazing weather and incredible views. The highlight was definitely our guide, Samuel. He was so friendly, patient and knowledgeable, and his passion for Machu Picchu and Inca history really came across. He answered all of our questions and made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend!
