“Absolutely fantastic we must have seen 15 or more condors! That alone made the day worth it. Our guide Walter was great and passionate about the environment and the Condors. Our bus driver was amazing managing thoes mountain roads and Arequipa traffic! It's a long day tour from Arequipa and the drive back was a challenge but I would recommend the tour and would do it all again. 5 stars 🌟”

“This tour is a must have if you are in Cusco. It was extremely well organised. Our guides Walter and Johan were very knowledgeable, professional and funny. Walter controlled the time very well, made sure everyone’s needs were met and we have time everything we need to cover and reach our destination on time. There is a lot of walking on the first day but the pace is comfortable even for kids. We had many stops including an amazing buffet lunch! There is an optional add-on for climbing Huayna Picchu. If you can, go for it. The view from up there is fantastic.”
Review of a private Machu Picchu day tour from Cusco, with train travel, a private guide, lunch, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Knowledgeable guide. Spectacular views best I've seen in my life. The guide new exactly what vantage points to take us to. The pick up person provided an envelope with all our tickets and explained everything very well. The train ride was terrible. There was a strong odor of gas all the passengers in our car were feeling ill our eyes were burning that we could barely open them. On the way back the train was almost 3 hours late. All the locals were shocked this happened so I would highly recommend this trip as we believe the train break down was an anomaly. This was a trip of a lifetime.”

“Jose Abad was our guide. He messaged us on WhatsApp the previous night and clearly stated the time of meeting. He arrived on time and took charge (with adequate courtesy) from that point on. He made sure that we got adequate 1 minute breaks to catch our breath while climbing. He had lots of things to point out and lots of stories to share and he was patient and helpful when we took lots of pictures. I think we got their best guide!”
