I can't recommend Machu Picchu Tours Company enough! From the very first email until the moment they dropped us off at our hotel, everything was handled professionally and with genuine care. Communication was always quick, clear, and friendly, which made planning our trip completely stress-free. What impressed me the most was how everyone treated us. We never felt like just another group of tourists they made us feel welcome, safe, and truly cared for throughout the entire experience. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Peru, making every day even more special. Every detail was perfectly organized, and everything ran exactly as promised. It was obvious that the team genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience for their guests. If you're looking for a local company that delivers exceptional service from start to finish, Machu Picchu Tours Company is the one to choose. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and I would book with them again without hesitation.

The experience was seamless, which allowed my sons and I to appreciate the beauty of our surroundings and not sweat the many details that Machu Picchu Tours handled from beginning to end.
I booked the tour through WhatsApp, and the whole process was incredibly easy and convenient. The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly, and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the trip. Visiting Machu Picchu was an unforgettable experience, and everything was well organized from start to finish. The john from the tour company made the entire journey stress-free and easy to enjoy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a visit to Machu Picchu!
We just returned from a wonderful two-day Machu Picchu tour booked with Machu Picchu Tours-Travel Company. I had wanted a tour that was different from what I could find offered through other companies but John at Machu Picchu Tours set up exactly what I wanted. The logistics of a trip like this are complicated and even though I was a travel agent for 30 years I would never try to put all the parts together myself. This is where a local agency is a necessity. Not only did everything run smoothly but we had the most enjoyable time. Our personal guide Darcy, was the most excellent person to show us the wonders of Machu Picchu. He was patient and helpful in my navigation of the many steps, letting us rest whenever we needed. He'd give us information and make it relatable and interesting. He answered any question we had. Big thanks to John and Darcy and all of the others who helped us along the way. Word of advice for anyone planning a trip to Machu Picchu, book early and book with an agency that has your interest as their main goal. Machupicchu-tours.com is the company to use.
Our trip to Peru was outstanding from start to finish. The tour company, with John as the leader, handled every detail perfectly, from our time in Cusco to our unforgettable visit to Machu Picchu. The guides were knowledgeable, the accommodations were excellent, and all transportation was seamless. We felt well cared for the entire trip and were able to simply enjoy the beauty and history of Peru. We highly recommend this company to anyone planning a trip there.
It was a great experience. One we’ve already have talked about returning. Friendly and very knowledgeable and proud of their country and it’s history.
I can’t begin to say how happy I am with the service that Macchu Picchu provided. We were impacted by the train crash and our itinerary had to change. They took care of all the changes, ticket updates, standing in line for information and then getting us on the first train out the next day. The train was still delayed for 4 hours and the station was as chaos. John ran around all morning keeping on top of everything. A stressful situation, but having John taking care of everything was so lucky. We relaxed and left it in his hands. When our family wit teenagers finally made it, The Macchu Picchu tour was conducted by Charly. He was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and passionate about MP. He had so much pride in what the Inca built and he immersed us in the stories. He didn’t rush us and we really got to experience the wonder of Macchu Picchu. I will recommend them to anyone that asks. 1000/10
The visit to Machu Picchu itself was great! We had a wonderful guide and because another group canceled we had him all to ourselves! The coordination of travel was not great however, on our return to Cuzco we were not met by our guide to return us to our hotel. After waiting 15 minutes we ended up walking about 1.5 miles to our hotel.
Machu Picchu Tours exceeded our expectations with their support and attention to detail. From the moment we started planning, our travel agent was thorough and knowledgeable, guiding us through each step of the process. The personalized itinerary fit us perfectly, and the 2-day tour allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Sacred Valley of the Incas and Machu Picchu. We appreciated the extra time in Cusco and Aguas Calientes, which gave us a chance to relax and enjoy the scenery. Our guide John Taqquere was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. This trip will be cherished forever, and Machu Picchu Tours played a huge role in making it so special.
There is very very little flat walking, mostly steep getting to Machu Picchu once there walking easy except for the stair climbing. Make sure you under stand 24 hr time we did't and screwed-up but John bailed us out. Thank you thank you, John. Consider upgrading to the outdoor observation train, we did this after we screwed-up. It was well worth it.
I was a bit hesitant booking this because it was my first time going solo out the country. John made everything super simple and easy to understand. Everything is planned out carefully from bus tickets, train tickets, hotels and anything else you might need during your trip. I highly recommend john and his company to anyone who wants to step out of their comfort zone and explore this beautiful country.
Waooo really best tour and service . Everything was perfect . I highly recommend it . The organization was top notch . The tour guide Willy was the best he’s knowledgeable and it was so fun we laugh ., loved it .one of the best spots
Great tour! Great accommodations with a lovely river view and breakfast. Machu Picchu of course was amazing and the guide (Roy) provided excellent information, history, details, and photo taking skills. Excellent, smooth communications and travel coordinations. Highly recommend!
Had an unfortunate cirumstance with another tour service and had to book a last minutes trip. John came through clutch and got everything in order for My family which we are grateful for. It allowed us to SEE this beautiful wonder of the World. Will reserve again in the future.
John has made this trip so memorable, a great guide. It feels like everything was personalized, he gave us tips on what to wear, what to expect, and made everything easy. Super bonus is all the languages he speaks, he easily changed from Spanish for Karla to English for me. Highly recommended!!
We had a great time during this tour. Pickup right on time at our hotel, drop off at the train station. Our tour guide John was waiting for us at Aguas Calientes and guided us through the whole tour. Very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Thank you! -Veronica V.
The experience is just unique! There are words to describe how beautiful is the place and we were very happy about the amount of information about Machu Picchu that our tour guide gave to us!
Our tour guide went above and beyond to provide the full experience in Machu Picchu , his knowledge was impressive and also the photography skills. He made sure we were having the best of our time and we did.
Would highly recommend this tour! We booked quite last minute and from the beginning we had great lines of communication via WhatsApp where I was updated on aspects of my tour leading up and had all my questions answered fully and quickly! They were able to secure us tickets on circuit 3. We were picked up from our bnb and driven to the train then had arrangements made for a tour guide in Machu Picchu. We had to worry about nothing as everything was set up and booked, we were given our documents the night prior as well as a phone call to discuss the tour and any questions. Thank you again for such a smooth and easy experience!
The guide at the citadel was excellent. Roily really knows about the Incas, hiking and camping, as well as all the history of Machu Picchu including architecture, crop experimentation, building techniques, and astronomy. We were slow and couldn’t climb a lot of steps but Roily took our picture at strategic locations and answered all our questions. Later Roily arranged our lunch and had a restaurant waitress meet our bus and walk us to the restaurant. He also suggested special tea and alpaca dishes. It was memorable.
The tour is amazing and well worth the price. Once booked, you don’t have to worry about anything - transportation, including buses and train rides are reserved for you, as well as the hotel and MP entry tickets. John is great at communicating and explaining the itinerary step by step. He’s also very quick at responding WhatsApp messages. Edson, the driver, is friendly and shares a lot of info about the cities along the way. His SUV is clean and comfortable. Our tour guide was Luis Alberto and he is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He answered every question, kept us engaged and took great photos! I highly recommend booking with them.
John was a fantastic guide! He was knowledgeable and very helpful with other recommendations for hotels and restaurants outside our tour. He takes great photos for you along the way. Excellent experience!
John was the perfect guide for our journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu! From the start, he made everything smooth and enjoyable, picking us up from our hotel and ensuring we were comfortable and ready for the adventure ahead. Thanks to his planning, we arrived at Machu Picchu early, avoiding the crowds and enjoying the stunning morning views. The weather was fantastic, and John's deep knowledge of the history and culture made every moment even more memorable. His explanations brought the ancient Incan sites to life, and he guided us thoughtfully through the walk at Machu Picchu, pointing out details we would have missed on our own. Throughout the entire day, John was attentive, patient, and incredibly helpful. He truly went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Me and my brother went on a tour with John. He was very helpful. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Not only did he give a great tour but he was able to give us good recommendations and was very accommodating
I arranged a 7 days vacation with John of Machu Pichu tours. It included hotels, airport transfers, excursions and some meals. Overall, had a good time. I was traveling alone with my 10 years old son. My tour guide Edwin and driver Edgar were punctually and very respectful. They took good care of my son in Cusco when he developed severe altitude sickness. I chose 3 star hotel options but they were very basic. John was very responsive and available all the time for any questions and concerns I had. I would definitely recommend his company for any family friendly travels.
This trip was one of the best trips I have ever Been on.The views were the best I have ever seen. our tour guide was amazing. He knew all about Machu Picchu in the history and all the things they did there and how they worked things.
A lifetime experience that did not disappoint. We did a private tour with Bernabe. We were picked up at the airport, and taken to the sacred valley. The ruins, the scenery, the history, the shopping, the food was all amazing. Day two, we went to Machu Picchu. I was so glad we used this tour group; we are very satisfied from everything.
We chose this company as they were highly recommended in one of the FB groups for people travelling to Peru. As soon as I reached out to John, he promptly responded to my request and provided all the information for the two-day tour to Machu Pichu from Cusco. John was helpful and very professional from the beginning and answered all my questions, provided the itenary and all the details of the trip. Our guide, Edwin, was friendly and knowledgeable. We nearly spent four hours in Machu Pichu since it was raining and had a lot of cloud cover. He was patient and recommended that we wait until the rain stops and clouds clear so that we could have the best views of the area. Booking the tour with this company and having Ediwn as our tour guide has relieved us from all the stress about figuring out the timings for entering the long lines to get on the bus to MachuPichu and the entrance at Machu Pichu as well. He was answering all our questions and definitely put our mind at ease. We would strongly recommend Machu Picchu Tours if you are planning to visit Peru.
We chose this company as they were one of the few that actually responded to our request for information. From the beginning John was professional, helpful and efficient, ensuring we were always aware of the stage of booking, itinerary and payments. He was always available for questions or concerns either by message or phone call. Our itinerary was well put together and lodging were very comfortable. Our guide, Edwin, was prompt and friendly. He was very knowledge and was very willing to share information and answer our questions. Having Edwin to accompany us through long lines of other visitors erased the stress and worry. He always managed to take photos of us that made it look as if we were the only people at the site. Mr Edgar, our driver, was very safe and we felt comfortable with him in charge of our car. We would not hesitate to recommend Machu Picchu Tours.
We had a great time on our tour. I spent time with John beforehand planning what it is was we wanted to see. Our tour guide Jose was awesome as well as our driver Allen. We are experienced travelers, but feel that navigating Machu Picchu and the surrounding areas would have been really hard to do logistically on our own. Lots of buses, trains, travel to get to specific points. Rainbow Mountain was the highlight for me. I regret not making it to the top top of the viewing area, but it was awesome. The elevation is a real factor. Do your planning beforehand. I would highly recommend John and his guys.
We were in Peru for our honeymoon, and had such an incredible time on this trip! It was beautiful weather so we had fantastic views and were able to hike up to the Sun Gate as well. We were last minute with our booking, so we weren’t sure if we would even be able to go, but John made it work for us so easily. His communication with us was excellent as he kept us updated on what to expect and checked in on us as we made each step of our journey. He was also so flexible with us as we had to make some schedule adjustments. Our tour guide Edwin was the BEST! So knowledgeable, answered every little question, and shared so much information with us. He truly went out of his way to make the day extra special for us. We had an extremely personalized, unforgettable experience. We cannot recommend it enough. Thank you Macchu Picchu Tours!!!
John planned a wonderful trip for my cousin and I in Peru. We perused Lima, Cusco, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu town. Our guide Carolina showed us some wonderful aspects of Lima. Raul guided us through the rest of trip showing us the rich culture and history of the Inca. Machu Picchu has inspiring views and was easy physically. Rainbow Mountain was physically challenging and incredibly beautiful to visit. I highly recommend using Machu Picchu tours and can’t say enough good things about our guide Raul.
Our experience exceeded expectations in every way. John had our itinerary planned out perfectly. He checked in and kept us on track every step of the way. Raul was our guide through Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain. He was so kind and made sure everything was perfect. In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history and current events of the country, he was also a very patient and encouraging coach for Rainbow Mountain! He went above and beyond throughout our time together. He has an engaging personality and makes the tour interesting. Carolina was a fantastic tour guide through Lima. She was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Every transport vehicle and hotel was immaculately clean. We were beyond impressed by the attention to detail in every area of our trip. Thank you, Machu Picchu Tours! We’ll be back!
We had an amazing time! The trip was well organized. Raul was an amazing guide! Communication was excellent! Book them you won't be disappointed!
We did a 2 day tour with Raul and he was fantastic. Very knowledge and made sure we had a great time. He’s very informative and professional. I highly recommend and ask for him as your tour guide. You won’t be disappointed.
We booked our annual gal trip of 4, with Machu Picchu Tours. John Taqquere Villanueva planned the trip around our desires. As we arrived in Lima, John was there to meet us. We toured Lima with Alexandra as our guide and Jose as our driver, their hospitality was the finest. Alex shared the history of Lima extremely well and we visited many popular places. On to Cuzco. Our guide was Rolando and we can't say enough about his knowledge of the history of the Peruvians. We toured Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, and many many more attractions. Our driver was Richard and we must say he is a professional driver. Our hotels were very nice and so accommodating, the staff were very kind and professional at all times. I highly recommend Machu Picchu Tours if your looking for a tour package.
Charly from Machu Picchu tours was phenomenal! He was friendly, knowledgeable, very accommodating and flexible , and full of energy I almost felt like we were travelling with a good old friend ! He made sure he addressed all our questions patiently specially those of our curious son, and made sure to capture so many photos of us as a family. Machu picchu was a big bucket list dream for us, we couldn't be happier with the way Charley and Machu Picchu tours helped us make this dream come true !
Our experience with Machu Picchu tours was amazing! Charly is very knowledgeable about Machu Picchu - an expert on history, traditions, building styles, rituals, the Inca civilization etc as well as all the practical logistics. He made it an outstanding experience for our family.
We spent two days visiting Machu Picchu with our indefatigable guide Charlie. The tour company arranged for all our transfers and tickets. They were very knowledgeable and helpful, and their communication was impeccable throughout the planning process and when any issues arose. They even smoothly accommodated last minute changes to our plans. On the first day we had tickets to circuits 1 and 2 which was extremely interesting. The second day we had tickets to circuits 3 and 4 and we climbed Huayna Picchu for breathtaking views. I highly recommend doing both. Charlie was charming, informative, and patient in answering our many questions. We couldn’t have asked for better service from start to finish from Machu Picchu Tours. Thank you for a memorable visit to a very special place.
We did this two day trip and was perfect. We never felt rushed and could immerse in the vibes of the bustling Machu Picchu town and visit the museum and hot springs there. The tour company took care of the transport and accommodation and did a remarkable work in that. Everything in the tour was well planned just as mentioned in the itinerary. The experience was second to none.
An incredible 2 day Machu Picchu tour by train with Machu Picchu tours! Every detail was meticulously planned, from the scenic train ride to the knowledgeable guides. Their hospitality made us feel like VIPs. Witnessing the sunrise over the ancient ruins was a once-in-a lifetime experience. A top notch tour company.
Had an amazing Machu Picchu tour with John! His nowledge and passion for the site truly enhanced the experience. John´s insights brought the history to life in an engaging way. Everything was well organised, making for a smooth and memorable isit Highly recommended.
These guys were great, kept us informed of all the plans and called in advance of the trip to check we were prepared. Jose our guide was so knowledgable and could answer every question we had with lots of detail. It was amazing to see the site and learn so much history. For a seamless trip to Machu Picchu where everything is organised for you, choose these guys!!
Such a wonderful tour! Jose our guide was so informative and we got a really great experience of Machu Picchu and the surrounding area. Thanks so much!
It was amazing Bernibe was a fantastic guide knew everything about Machu Pichu, the best part and to prove he was good was I was never bored, 5 stars all the way!
Bernabe was a terrific guide. He seemed very knowledgeable about the in Incas and the lost city in Cusco. He took us around and showed us very special places .then some special places just for the locals we had a really great time and will be telling all of our friends in the states about him and your company .Hope to see him again in two years
This trip was amazing! Excellent service from MacchuPicchu Tours! Our guide Bernabe exceeded our expectations! He was very knowledgeable about the history of the Incas and in general Peruvian history. He has a great sense of humor and very polite. We give him 5 stars. Cecilia from NC
This tour was amazing in every aspect. The views and experiences blew my expectations out of the water. In particular, our guide Bernabe really made the trip wonderful by sharing his local knowledge and warm personality. He was super patient with our kids and gave us a trip we will never forget.
I recently had an incredible experience with Machu Picchu Tours. The key to a successful trip is having the right tour company, and Machu Picchu Tours exceeded my expectations. John, the organizer, was fantastic and provided exceptional aftercare. Having a knowledgeable tour guide is equally important, and Rolando was simply phenomenal. He was considerate and had immense knowledge about the Incas and the country's history, sharing many interesting facts about Andean traditions. The trip was both informative and fun-filled, starting with our pickup at the airport by Rolando and Eduardo, our driver, who answered all our questions and explained everything clearly. We never felt rushed, and Rolando took the time to explain the geography, botany, and history along the hike and in Machu Picchu citadel. It happened to be my birthday, and Rolando made sure it was one of the best birthdays I've ever had. I highly recommend Machu Picchu Tours for your next adventure.
I was worried with the way things are with traveling outside of the US. As soon as we meet with John I was at ease. The next day we were picked up by Charley and Rodger they were profesional, informative and most of all fun. We were somehow or another always first, got through without any problems, pasess, apointments, and destinations were all taken care of. I am satisfied to no end. Rock On machupicchu tours
