We had an unforgettable full-day trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Our expedition began with an early morning transfer to Ollantaytambo, followed by a scenic train ride to Aguas Calientes.

We booked this trip at least 6 months in advance to ensure we secured a spot. The trip was well organised and the tour company stayed in touch with us from the point of booking all the way through to the end of the trip. The transport was also well organised, with a 3am taxi pick up from our hotel in Cusco to take us to Cusco station to get the bus to Ollantaytambo train station. This took about 2.5h before we boarded the train to Machu Picchu Pueblos station (Aguas Calientes) which took another 1.5h. Here we met the tour guide (Anthony) who accompanied us to the site on the 25m bus ride. All tickets were sorted in advance and provided electronically on WhatsApp. The tour of Machu Picchu (MP) took approximately 2h with Anthony taking us to all the key points on Circuit 2. This is the best circuit of the 3 available but we did not have the choice when booking so it turned out just fine. Anthony was well informed and provided a great insight into the history of the citadel and also was at hand to take the many many photos we wanted. The return journey took a lot longer and with a tight connection at Ollytantambo back to Cusco, we were worried about missing the bus however, it is clear that PeruRail own the trips and the bus waited until all passengers from the delayed train from MP arrived. A taxi was waiting for us at Cusco to take us back to the hotel, all included in the booking. A fabulous day for us and a bucket list item well and truly ticked. Thank you to Anthony and the tour company for making this a seamless tour and one for us to remember for a long time!

the guide did not speak a word of English and the agent who boooked us knew that we inly spoke english . a member of the group tried to translate but this was rather inconvenient and not always a correct translation. the drive back was horrendous with 4 persons squeezed into a car that was meant only for 3 on a 3 hour drive . lack of communication and confusion on the return leg

We had an incredible time on our trip to Machu Picchu. Speedy tours took care of everything and were extremely communicative. All of our tours were perfect! We stayed in Aguas Calientes after Sacred Valley and they were able to accomodate this. Very responsive and reasonable price! Planned my whole trip with them! 10/10!
Viajes tour operator went above and beyond to help us with Machupicchu tickets. Beto was in contact with us, brought us tickets and made sure everything went smoothly. Transportation was well organized. Thanks Viajes for making us special.
I recently booked the full-day trip to Machu Picchu and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the beginning every detail was perfectly arranged. They took care of everything—from transportation to entrance tickets. The entire day was seamless, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the wonder of Machu Picchu without any stress. Their expertise and local knowledge made a world of difference. I highly recommend this tour for anyone planning a trip to this stunning destination!
I was a bit disappointed and frustrated with this Machu Pichu tour. I planned this tour for myself and my husband. Usually tours have guides upon arrival and through the duration of the tour. I was sent tickets for the bus ride and train ride at the last minute the night before. We showed up at the bus and we were on our own to figure it out. We arrived at the train station and there was a guide just to show us what line to get on for the train ride. Then we arrived at Machu Pichu and had no idea if we were getting a guide or not. After 30 minutes of waiting our guide was in the park waiting for us. No one gave us direction and it was very very confusing.
I was traveling for the day solo and Beto Was a great help in getting me a booking for Machu Picchu. Because I was booking so late into the season it was difficult to get a tour, but Beto ended up helping me figure out the entire trip from getting from the Cusco airport The night before and getting to the train station and then the tour the next morning. Ramiro, my tour guide was very knowledgeable. He definitely repeated a few things but nonetheless, he was very smart and knew a lot about Machu Picchu and the Inkas. He Gave me a personalized tour of Machu Picchu And we were able to see so much in a few hours. The only downside I would say was that he would definitely walk very fast and I would lose him for a few seconds because I was out of breath and could not keep up. Overall highly recommend Viajes speedy tour As he will work with you to make sure you have a great experience!

The tour to Machu Picchu was made easy by this tour. All tickets were bought and coordinated by the agents. We might be able to do this by ourselves much cheaper but you pay for the convenience and stress free of the tour. Machu Picchu is, of course, spectacular! Even if it’s hard to go to, it’s worth seeing.
Extremely well run tour. Everything ran with maximum efficiency and like clockwork. Any questions I had were promptly and courteously answered. What I can tell anyone who is reading this is that based on my experience with this tour operator is that you will be in great hands. Personally speaking, I would use their services again in a heartbeat.
I had originally booked this tour with Viator and they never confirmed with the previous vendor until I reached out and was told no availability. I googled another site and found get guide and immediately downloaded the app and booked the same tour. Of course the request was denied for the date I had requested but the biggest difference with this vendor (Viajes Speedy Tour), they took care of me by offering an alternative date if I could change my reservation and arrive in Cusco a day early. It cost me quite a bit more, but it was well worth it. Beto was beyond fantastic, he stayed up late and got me all the tickets I needed to make my birthday trip a reality. This was one of my bucket lists wish and thanks to Beto and his tour company, I got to see Machu Picchu. He even sent me a taxi at 4am so I’ll be safe. I’m forever grateful and thankful for the above and beyond service. My tour guide was also amazing. Thank you.
This is the second time I utilize this company to have a Machu Picchu guided tour from Cusco . Beto is always attentive and accommodating , besides that his service is impeccable and his team extremely professional. For certain I will always reach out for this company every time I return to Cusco
We had the Best full day Tour to Machu Picchu With them The guide Adam was excellent and the Chef delivered us the yummy food and with them the sleeping tents were amazing.
We had 5D / 4N Tour To Machu Picchu I enjoyed alot this Trip with that all the other things were happened seamlessly and Very Great way This trip was means a lot for me as me with my wife on first trip and they make it so amazing!!!!
The trips are excellent, their guide is really helpful and provide friendly service. In the entire trip you will enjoy not just the view but also the well explained history of Inca
Our tour to Machu Picchu was incredible. Edgar, our guide, was patient and knowledgeable. The itinerary was greatly planned. Seeing Machu Picchu was breathtaking, and learning about all the history opened our eyes as to why it is considered one of the seven wonders of the world. We are deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience! The ATV ride to Rainbow Mountain was super fun. They give you a quick briefing on how to handle the quads and keep you safe, with two guides, one leading and one following. Climbing up to the rainbow mountain at 5,000 meters can be tough if you’re not used to the altitude, but the Edgar was always there to help. Totally recommend this tour and would definitely do it again!
The view was amazing. Some of our friends couldn’t show up and the tour helped us to manage the situation. Tour guides were also very caring and we are happy we chose this tour for our trip
To experience Machu Picchu is special. It’s part of the fabric of society. It’s known around the world. So we wanted to try something unique to commemorate our time there. This company was impeccable.! Great communication, very adaptable and accommodating. We have had some experience in tours as well as the enjoyment of off road vehicles. This was the best of both combined. The views are breathtaking, as expected! The tour guide was fun and we learned some fun facts about the history along the way. Riding the trails was so much fun. We have been on many tours around the world and this was one we will remember. 10/10
We had such an amazing experience seeing this wonder of the world. Our guide was well informed and everything ran very smooth. Definitely recommend
What an amazing tour of Machu Picchu! Beto was our guide and he was so patient and knowledgeable. Everything was very well planned out. When we saw Machu Picchu it was such an amazing site, learning about all the history really opened our eyes as to why Machu Picchu is a 7th wonder! I cannot thank this tour enough for such a wonderful experience!
Machu Picchu is incredibly amazing. I took two tours with Viajes Speedy and everything went exactly as planned with transportation on time, the guide waited for us at the Aguas Calientes station and from there I toured circuit 2 with the guide. The guide was fantastic.
A unique experience thanks to viajes speedy. Perfect organization of hotel pick-up at the bus and incarail train. A special thank you to Willian, our guide of this day who for two hours explained us a lot about the history of the site, the flora and fauna as well as some initiatives to help us take souvenir shots. An unmissable experience not to be missed under any circumstances with viajes speedy! Jerome and Elizabeth and their children Iris and Lucas.
a shame, we paid for the excursion that promised us a refund, we finally cancelled, they ignored our messages and calls and never refunded us À FUÏRE!!!
It was a great and well organized tour. The guide was super friendly and accompanied us well through the day with his numerous knowledge and calm manner. Even with the tickets and the previous contact everything worked out well.
Very hom! The Cleiton guide is spectacular! Explains every detail, every story, very rich in information! I just loved and recommend to everyone!
Fue una experiencia inolvidable Mi tour operador Viajes Speedy Tours es excelente en su cumplimiento y servicio y a pesar de la gran congrstion por ese fin de semana en Cusco nos ayudó muchísimo , gracias por facilitarnos esa gran experiencia !!!
Unforgettable trip to Machu Picchu with the Beto! Perfect organization, experienced Guide and exceptional support. I recommend!
Wonderful!!!!! From start to finish, the Guide Cleto very nice and explained everything in detail, we are very happy and what a wonderful place, it is magical, they are doubtful when we return we will contact this agency because they are worth a lot!!!
La organización bastante nefasta. La noche de antes nos llaman para ofrecernos un tour privado pagando más porque había problemas de transporte…luego comprobamos que no era así, por lo que entendimos que nos quisieron engañar. Al llegar al pueblo de Aguas Calientes a las 08.20 horas de la mañana, nos dicen que nos recogerán a las 10 (nuestra hora de entrada según el ticket). Nos recogieron a las 11 horas después de muchas llamadas y mensajes porque nadie nos hacía caso y estábamos desesperados. Finalmente, entramos en el turno de las 12 horas…Horrible experiencia con esta agencia.
Excellent travel experience, I really recommend it highly. The attention from everyone was amazing and made our tour of Machu Picchu very enjoyable. Recommended 10/10 Thank you!
Pessima experiência com a empresa viator e a terceirizada ( turismo Speed. Estou aguardando me devolverem o meu dinheiro . Era um sonho ir conhecer as ruínas. Comprei 02 pacotes do passeio para eu e meu esposo , totalizando 4.039 REAIS. Não teve o passeio . Acordei 2 da manhã e Cheguei em macchu picchu e não tinha guia ( até agora não apareceu ) . Eu entrei em contato com a agência de turismo ( falou que ia comunicar ao guia - mas que até agora não apareceu ) . Uma pessoa me ligou pedindo para eu comprar o bilhete de bus das 9:00 pq eu teria que chegar na montanha até as 10:00. Gente eu entrei no parque arqueológico correndo procurando para que lado eu tinha que ir . Até que fui informada que o ingresso era para o circuito 1 ( este circuito é o mais difícil acesso . Somente atletas fazem Porque tem + de 3000 metros de altitude em subida sob pedras. Então não fiz por que fiquei com medo de passar mal e me Perder e sem guia. O que eu iria fazer ? Tentei entrar nas ruínas , fui barrada por que o meu ingressei não dava acesso. Então fiquei sentada chorando sem ver nada sem ter acesso a nada sem ninguém para me auxiliar . Não desfrutei do sonho de ir ver as ruínas de Machu pichu . Lembrando que paguei 4039,00 reais . Enfim fiquei o dia inteiro esperando o trem de volta , dia desperdiçado , pq eu poderia fazer outro passeio em Outra agencia . Suplico que viator me devolva o dinheiro pois não fiz o passeio . Caso não haja devolução , vou procurar meus direitos com um bom Advogado . NAO INDICO COMPRAREM . São irresponsáveis , é só querem O seu dinheiro . Águardando retorno da empresa viator .
Trips Speedy is a super Trips Agency. Uncomplicated, friendly and helpful. Everything was like silk and without any problems. There is always someone available via WhatsApp for any questions. The Machu Picchu tour was an absolute highlight. Super Guide with a lot of knowledge.
The service was excellent from the airport pick-up, the guides were attentive at all times. The scheduled departures for each Tour were personalized, accommodating our schedules.....If I returned to Machupicchu I would hire them again 100% recommended 👍
The service was wonderful, extremely trustworthy and professional. Beto and all the guides accommodate just the client's request. Super recommended
They helped me reschedule the trip when my plans changed. Very attentive. Machu Picchu is very nice although the walk is long so he recommended taking the train
