Machu Picchu Day Trip From Cusco

Our guide Samuel was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the history and stories behind everything we visited. He also went above and beyond when it came to taking pictures, capturing some amazing memories for us throughout the experience. He was friendly, patient, and made the entire visit so much more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend Samuel!

Samuel was a really great guide. My cousin and I went on Circuit 2 at Machu Picchu. We got to see practically everything, and every great viewpoint and be in the city. Wow. Stunning. Samuel was very knowledgeable and helped take photos, pose, capture great views and was open to as many questions as we wanted. It was truly a fascinating experience and once in a lifetime. Oh, and we got to see and pet so many llamas!

Samuel was amazing! He was very informative and answered all our questions. The weather was hot but breezy and beautiful. There was a bit of waiting around for it turn to head to Machu Pichu since it's timed entry but that was to be expected. Once we got there, Samuel made the experience really feel like once in a lifetime. He took great pictures too! I would highly recommend.

Completely stress free organization start to finish provided by this tour. Pick up and itinerary info was communicated ahead of time, guides met me at every spot (train/bus/entrance) to make sure I was in the right place, which was much appreciated as a solo traveler. Samuel was an excellent tour guide, providing extensive history regarding the Incan civilization and providing endless interesting facts about the site. Was a pleasure hanging out with him for a few hours. My train back to Ollantaytambo was derailed and arrived 5 hours later than scheduled (not any fault of this tour group), but our driver Luis waited for us at 1030pm to make sure we had a ride home. Also remained in consistent contact with me to ensure I knew where to go upon arrival. This was incredibly appreciated. If you don’t want to deal with handling all the tickets and transportation yourself (I don’t know why anyone would, it’s incredibly hectic at Aguas Calientes), this is the way to go. The vistador panoramic train is only worth it if you are needing more photos, I did not find it worth an extra cost though.

We had a great experience at Machu Picchu. Our guide Samuel was perfect, very friendly and easy to communicate with. He provided great details and history of Machu Picchu. He took great pictures for us and made the tour very enjoyable.

It was a fantastic experience to visit Machu Picchu on 4 September 2026 and go around the ancient Inca city. Our guide Samuel was very knowledgeable and very helpful. I and my wife have knee issues and Sam helped us tremendously in enjoying our visit to the fullest possible. Sam is fluent in English and Inca history. We benefited a lot from both.

This was an amazing experience. The communication from the company was very good, and I was sent a detailed itinerary the day before the tour. The day of, you will be picked up at your hotel and driven about 2 hours away to the Inca Rail Train. From there it is a 1.5hr train ride to Aguas Calientes town where you grab another bus for a 25 minute drive up the mountain to Machu Picchu. Once I arrived at Machu Picchu I was met by my guide Samuel who happily greeted me at the entrance. For the next 2+ hours Samuel gave me a very detailed tour and answered all of my question. He was extremely knowledgeable and made it easy for me to learn and enjoy my time on the mountain. After the tour concluded, he continued to follow up with me on my way back to Cusco to make sure that I arrived safely. I greatly enjoyed my experience because of his professionalism and thoroughness. Upon arriving in Cusco the company arranged a taxi home for me to my hotel. The driver Wilson was already waiting for me when I arrived and got me quickly back to the hotel with some enjoyable conversation along the way. If you want to not have to worry about anything and have all of the details handled for you, then I highly recommend you go with Machu Picchu Touring.

We started our adventure on a rainy day convinced we were not going to have any visibility on Machu Picchu but the vibes changed when we met our guide Samuel, he was with us every step of the way and facilitated the entrance which was crowded. You can tell he has a deep knowledge and takes pride of his heritage as he shared meaningful insight during our tour, we didn't want it to end. with the power of positive thinking the clouds finally were gone and he took great photos of us. Highly recommend booking a tour with Samuel. Thanks for everything Machu Picchu, until we meet again.

Samu our guide has a vast knowledge of Incan history and culture. He allowed us to take as many photos as we wanted and took many with both of us in them. We enjoyed spending the day at Macchu Picchu and enjoyed having Samu to explain everything to us.

This was an absolutely amazing experience. We arrived to aguas calientes after taking the panoramic train and we were met outside the station by our first guide who ensured we had bus tickets and our tickets for machu Picchu. He showed us to the bus stop and informed us that our guide would meet us at the entrance once we got off the bus. Our guide Samuel greeted us immediately as we got off the bus and we headed into Machu Picchu with him to do a tour of circuit 2. He was so friendly and knowledgeable he made the history of Machu Picchu and surrounding areas so easy to understand and knew the right balance of giving information and pausing to allow us to take it all in. On top of that he was an excellent photographer and knew great spots to get scenic photos and offered to take photos for everyone in our group at various different points along the way. He was so patient and offered suggestions for cool poses too. At no point did we feel rushed we were shown around at a leisurely pace so we could soak it all in. We got so lucky with the weather on our trip too, the sun was shining and views were amazing. Samuel ensured we had time to ask him any questions we wanted and then accompanied us back to aguas calientes on the bus where he recommended a lovely restaurant to us so we could eat before catching our train back. I couldn't fault the day, it was a brilliant trip from start to finish.

Samuel was amazing guide, his knowledge was beyond expectation! Thanks a lot for a once in a lifetime tour to the Machu Picchu !!

Standing atop Machu Picchu was purely magical, especially as the cool, crisp weather cleared up just in time for vibrant blue skies over the ancient stone terraces. Despite the demanding pre-dawn schedule, our incredible guide Sami made every second seamless, weaving rich Incan history and clever shortcuts into an unforgettable, flawlessly timed journey. Totally recommend it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Machu Picchu. The guide met us at 5am and gave us our tickets and explained all of our transfers to us. We were met and guided to our next bus or train throughout. The driver then drove us to the train where we got on the 360° train to Machu Picchu. It was an amazing experience with stunning views, snacks and live music. When we reached Machu Picchu, we were met by our amazing tour guide for the day, Samuel. He greeted us and brought us along Circuit 3. We are so grateful to him for all of the knowledge he passed onto us and for being our personal photographer. He also helped us to find our bus back to Aguas Calientes. We returned to Cusco at 8pm instead of the scheduled 6.30pm as the Voyager train broke down on the way back to Ollantaytambo.

The view from Machu Picchu was amazing and we were very happy to experience it. The schedule on the trip was fine, we felt like we had enough time to take pictures and enjoy it. The weather was perfect - er Werge a bit afraid it would be cloudy or cold, but we walked around in t-shirts. Edgar was an amazing guide - very engaged and we couldn’t have asked for more from him. He answered all our questions, took pictures of us and told us a lot of interesting facts. The organisation for the trip though was chaotic, because it got changed in the last minute, which really stressed us out.

Guide did a great job. Logistics were a little sketchy getting there. Worth it to see Manchu picchu. Helps tremendously if you can speak Spanish

Samuel was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Machu Picchu. He helped us take photos and also helped us get back down to town to grab lunch. Even though it’s a long day I would definitely recommend!

Sam, our guide, was outstanding. Knowledgeable, patient, and managed expectations.

Samuel the tour guide make my day, heart taking place to go in Peru

I will truly never forget this experience. The day was gorgeous, the transportation and instructions well-organized and communicated, and the guide really incredible. He knew a ridiculous amount of the history, the stories, etc, and explained everything in an easily digestible and entertaining way. Also helped each of us in the group get some cute pictures haha. Oh, just be prepared for it to be hotter than Cusco… significantly…

Our guide Samuel was enthusiastic and well versed in the history of Machu Picchu and the Inca people. He explained everything in detail, answered all our questions and more. Made the trip all the more enjoyable. Took great pictures too! We made the trip in mid June. Weather was fantastic. Sunny and clear view. Also for the transport to and from Cusco. A comfortable mini bus picked us up from the hotel. Pickups were on time. Overall the trip felt very well organized. Clearly explained and on schedule. Communication on Whatsapp for any of our questions was also quick and easy. Thanks!

This was an absolutely amazing, once in a lifetime tour and Samuel was a wonderful, fun, and very informational guide. He also takes great photos! I would not change anything about this trip other than having more time.

If you want to turn your brain off and let them do everything, it’s the best way to go. I wanted to do circuit 2 by any means and I got my tickets the day before for my June 4th tour. That being said I was pretty flexible on dates and time and willing to stay in Aguas Calietes for however long until I got circuit 2. They made it easy to get to Auguas Calientes, and we got lucky on availability for next day circuit 2 tickets. Our tour guide Samuel was great, knowledgeable, and friendly. He took great photos and gave us a lot of fun facts throughout. My one thing was when I got to the Machu Pichu entrance where I was told to meet him, I did wait a little longer than I wanted before he replied to me and told us to get in line. We had to get into the very back of the line and that process was a little annoying. I am Impatient and the sun was strong so it could just be me. Overall I think it was worth the price, you’re able to turn your brain off and not worry about booking any of the transportation and the tour is included.

We had an incredible experience visiting Machu Picchu and this tour company made it easy and problem free. Communication is handled via WhatsApp(widely used in Peru, easy to navigate) and the staff/drivers make sure there is no confusion on this journey. Our temple guide, Samuel Flores, was a delight. Very knowledgeable and friendly, request him as your guide if you can! There are many tour companies for this experience, keep it simple and choose this one. You will not regret it. Happy Travels!

We had the best tour! Samuel was friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate and makes a pretty good photographer too!! No better way to see Machu Picchu! Thank you again Samuel!

Sam was an incredible guide. We had a great experience, perfect weather and a great day at Machu Picchu, Sam’s knowledge and expertise really made the trip

Samuel is our tour guide, he is an excellent guide, knowledgeable and an excellent photographer. He for sure a 100/100 tour guide… we appreciated his care, and we thought so lucky to have him as our tour guide as this is our first time to visit Machu Picchu… what a unforgettable memory.. thank you sooooo much to Samuel… I would love to recommend to all of our friends to visit Machu Picchu with him.

We had an amazing trip to Machu Picchu! Our host Samuel was fantastic from start to finish! He helped us with the logistics of getting to Machu Picchu, and once we were there he was the best guide, taking us through the amazing circuit 2. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and we appreciated all of the great photos he took of the group. We are very grateful for the experience and would highly recommend.

Excellent service, well organized.

We had an unforgettable experience visiting Machu Picchu and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible tour guide. From the very beginning Samual was organized, punctual and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and of this remarkable site. If you’re planning a trip to Machu Picchu I highly recommend Samuel.

We had a very good time with our guide Samuel. He took his time to show us the miracle of Machu picchu. Lucky us, we had him all for ourselves with plenty of time for additional information and plenty of photos. This is a place to remeber and this tour was the perfect way to experience it. Everything from pick-up to transportation and entrance went flawless. We had some bad luck with the everchanging weather but took plenty of photos while the weather was perfect. After that the rain just wouldn't stop. There is time to experience Aguas Calientes before the way to the mountain and there is time for a late lunch after the tour at Machupicchu. Would highly recommend! Keep in mind that you will be on your way from 6 a.m. to about 10.30 p.m..

Great experience. The guides was excellent, and the site was amazing. Litte tip: When you arrive in Agua caliente, you don’t have the opportunity to explore the town before you go to Machu Picchu, the time between the train and the bus is used to be in the line for the bus.

Great experience, the guide could answer all the questions and we were guided through the whole day. Would absolutely recommend this trip

Our day trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu was a dream come true. The train ride offered breathtaking views of the Andes, and upon reaching Machu Picchu, the sheer magnitude of the place blew me away. The tour guide was informative and passionate about the history, which added so much value. Though it’s a long day with early departures, I wouldn’t change a thing. Be prepared for the altitude, but other than that, it was an incredible, seamless adventure.
