This was a wonderful experience. Every detail was taken care of for my day long tour of Machu Picchu from Cusco. My guide, Carlos (at the site) could not have been better. He provided thorough information about the culture and architectural sites and even helped me navigate some tricky steps. As a solo traveler internationally for the 1st time, I appreciated the advance briefing and other communication.

We begin the experience by picking you up from your hotel in Cusco, followed by a 2-hour ride to the train station in Ollantaytambo. From there, you will enjoy a beautiful panoramic train ride of 1 hour and 45 minutes to Aguas Calientes. Upon arrival, our guide will accompany you on the ascent by bus to the citadel of Machu Picchu, where you will have a 2-hour guided tour exploring its temples, squares and ancient architecture. After the tour, you will have free time to continue exploring on your own, take photos or take an optional hike to Intipunku (Sun Gate), an ancient access to the Inca Trail with spectacular views of the sanctuary. At the end, we will descend to Aguas Calientes for lunch and rest before taking the train back to Ollantaytambo. Finally, we will transfer you by private transport to your hotel in Cusco, concluding a day full of history, landscapes and mysticism.

Especially I want to point out Karen! The planning and conversations were easy and everything went well! Moreover! My guide Gerky at Machu Picchu was excellent! He was one of the best guides I had in South Amerika for the last 2,5 months. He is empathic, has profound knowledge and could answer really special questions about books and documentations from the 15 th century! Thank you very much!

This was an amazing experience! I'm so glad we did the tour because the process of getting to Machu Pichu can feel overwhelming but this made it so much easier to navigate. Julio was an incredible guide and really made our experience next level! Absolutely recommend this tour and this company!
We used the services of RAP Travel and they were fantastic from start to finish. They picked up my large team of 16 people from the Cusco airport and assisted us with all our travel needs. From taking us 3 hours south to Tinta for 3 days to an all day excursion to Machu Picchu, to a wonderful hotel stay at Saska Boutique in Cusco and then back to the airport after 5 days. I highly recommend their services. Carlos, Alberto and Rodolfo will take great care of you.
Each portion of the trip was well coordinated and easy to understand. Carlos and Moises were wonderful tour guides. The lunch they arranged was delicious! Our tour guide Ruth at Machu Picchu was so informative. Don’t try this alone; too many moving pieces.
Very friendly staff. Very clean and nice hotel with amazing breakfast! Staff were very accommodating and helpful. Enjoyable stay!
Incredible experience!!! Amazing tour guide in one of the most beautiful places on earth!!! The whole experience was top notch. Great driver, great hotel and an awesome tour of Machu Picchu!!!
It was amazing so much fun Carlos was amazing and had so much information. I would recommend this trip to everyone. The hotel was also a good location.
The views and narration of the Manchu Picchu was amazing. He even shared some personal experiences and tour guide Carlos was amazing. Thank you!
Carlos was an amazing tour guide, he was very informative. He spoke great english and was very patient. The trip went very smoothly because of Carlos’s experience. Machu Picchu is an astonishingly beautiful and amazing place. It is beautiful beyond description. I wish everyone could see how beautiful and amazing this place is. And if you ever come to Cusco and Machu Picchu use RAP travel as your tour guides. They have the best services.
Booking a trip to Machu Picchu at the last minute like I did is fairly complicated, involving multiple modes of transportation and waiting in line for tickets the day before, but Jose angel and his team guided me every step of the way. They picked me up at the airport, drove me to the train station in Ollantaytambo, arranged train and bus tickets, booked a hotel in Aguas Calientes, walked me through the Machu Picchu ticket process and arranged a private guide on the morning of my visit to the site. I would not have known where to start had I been on my own, but RAP Travel's expertise was invaluable and the whole process was seamless. Highly recommended, they made the entire experience stress-free!
Very informitive and beautiful views wonderful pictures. I have already sent word to family they MUST come see!! The guides were friendly and helpful!!!
An absolute once in a lifetime experience I will never forget! We were met by our guide immediately when stepping out of the train station and he was very friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend anyone coming to Peru to book through Rap Travel Peru!!!
I was an amazing experience from start to finish. Every checkpoint was smooth and efficient. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!!!

Carlos good guide. Very helpful. You will enjoy for sure Train to food to tour to bus to everything was good.
Best experience in Laguna Humantay. It was amazing, everything was good planned. Carlos and his team were with us all the time. His service is 100% recommend.
Carlos, Solomon and team were awesome! The stop on the way back from Cusco to learn about Andean culture and buy real hand made stuff was fantastic!
Excellent trip. Wonderful views very effective and informative. Enjoyed the tour guides and their humor. I hope to return.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Carlos did a great job translating the history behind our tour of Machu pichu. He was professional, courteous and knowledagble.
RapTravel. This tour was absolutely amazing! Starting off with our two tour guides who were incredibly kind and helpful in many ways. Even nice enough to take pictures for us too! They also knew perfect spots to go to: Killa Suma, Inca Moray, and Maras Salt, with little stop shops to help the community. Our tour guide Carlos was very informative of the culture and history, so we learned a lot. Once we reached our destination the train station to Machu Picchu, Carlos made it unforgettable by hyping the locals who were dressed in traditional clothing to take our picture. An unforgettable experience, I know I will be booking with them again the next time I come!
We took a package in Machupicchu 4 days and 3 nights with rap travel and was excellent, the guides, the hotels and transportation was well organized, Carlos was excellent as a tour guide, we reccomend this travel agency
I was in town with a group from the USA and Carlos took our group to Machu Picchu and many other tours and he is amazing. Highly recommend! He and his company took very good care of us!
It was so pretty and our tour guides were very knowledgeable. Their English was very good too and I appreciate them speaking in our first language.
Wonderful time! Great spot! I liked the trip. Too bad that they are going to charge us if we dont submit a survey :/
The tour guide was very kind and knew the information well. The sight was beautiful. I would come back again!!!
Everything was well planned and thought out. By going through Travel Peru, we avoided all headache that would have been present without them!
Carlos and Eduardo did an amazing job with guiding us through Machu Picchu! They both were helping with all the questions we asked about Machu Picchu and I'm grateful they were our tour guides!!
Our advisers were informative and fun! They did a great job creating an experience for us. we learned so much and left feeling knowledgeable and excited about the city of Machu Picchu!! Highly recommended!!!
The tour to Machu Picchu was fantastic! Great tour guide, good time of day to travel, very knowledgeable in the history of Machu Picchu! I would highly recommend! Don’t forget to bring good hiking shoes, lots of water, and wear layers for the changing hot and cold temperatures. I also learned about a coffee farm very close to Machu Picchu called Machu Picchu Coffee! We were able to purchase it at our hotel!
Amazing once in a lifetime experience! Machu Picchu is incredible, and our tour guides Carlos and Eduardo went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. I wouldn’t go with anyone else. Highly recommend them.
It was an enjoyable hike. Informative information about the culture. Professional guide, easy to understand smith travel transitions.
RAP Travel provided a fantastic service for us! Clearly they are well established and know what people are interested in seeing during a visit to Machu Picchu. We had a excellent triip and will definitely use them in the future!
We had a wonderful trip... everything from the booking agent to each transition for the 4day/3night was well planned and the guides were great! Machu Picchu with Humantay Lake and camping. It was my birthday, and this was a wonderful way to celebrate!
We absolutely loved using their services to visit Machu Picchu from Cusco. They took care of everything. Getting us to Ollantaytambo where we took the train to Machu Picchu town and our entrance to Macchu Picchu that included the bus ride up and down. It also included two stops for lunch on the way there and right after our Machu Picchu visit. A quick stop to see valle sagrado and get some pictures with llamas. It was such a pleasant experience. When you're on a different country, leave it up to the professionals. I can't recommend them enough!
We had ana amazing time and everything went so smoothly. So thankful for Rap Travel handling it all.
Be aware that this is not a group excursion. They pick you up at the hotel, then you are taken care of by the railway company. Then by an assistant to transfer you to the bus, and then the guide at the site. Afterward, you are on your own to go back down and take the train back. For people who want a real excursion, this is not for you. Despite decent organization, the price is very high because the train is the cheapest... a bit disappointed by the route, especially if you are on the wrong side.
Very good service and quality for the price!
We were a group of four friends, two Peruvians and two Puerto Ricans; we did the City tour, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Pallay Punchu, and Rainbow Mountain (Vinincunca). They were days of very nice experiences, beautiful culture, and stunning landscapes. Our guide was Noé, and he helped us a lot by telling us more about the history of Cusco, recommending places and typical dishes, and taking very nice photos of us. We are more than grateful for your service; we will undoubtedly recommend it to our friends and family who wish to visit Cusco.
We are tourists from Costa Rica and are delighted We did 5 different tours with RAP Travel and every day was incredibly well organized, we could not have a better experience. They always took our doubts out with great kindness, gave us the best advice and always kept in touch making us feel safe. An amazing agency to know the wonders of Cusco, Carlos and Moses showed off 😎
Very good agency Rap travel is always on the lookout for its tourists, we did some tours with them both in Arequipa and Cusco and in the shrine of machupicchu. They took care of all transport, Friday and guides in addition to Transfer from the hotel to the airport and vice versa. I recommend this agency as they have always been professional and correct with the tours they have organized me.
The service of the agency is great, I thank especially Luiz who offered support and care whenever I needed, removing all the doubts and sharing many tips! I did the tour of the CITY tour, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, were three excellent days!!! I could appreciate and know a lot about the local culture, which rich!

Excellent service from punctuality, they explain well the steps that will be taken, very clean mobility, good guide. Thank you
It was a good experience where our tour guide Carlitos took us through Machu Picchu and made our experience 10 times better!
We had wonderful support, from Brazil to our arrival in Cusco and especially in Machu Picchu. The guide had excellent knowledge of the place and its history. Rap Travel was excellent.
Even though the trip was at the last minute, when I contacted them they resolved it super quickly, I would definitely trust them again for a new experience. They have contact at all times. I loved the places I went. The views were incredible, you can definitely get the best photos. I love Peru
