I dreamed of going to Rainbow Mountain from the moment I saw its pictures. I dug deep into Social Media to find a travel agency as soon as I realized it was too much to plan on my own which is my preference. One night I sent a WhatsApp to Machu Picchu Tours and the friendship with Tania began. I asked A LOT of questions and she gave us the white glove treatment. Not a single thing was missed or needed from the moment we landed in Cusco til we left. The guides we had were very knowledgeable proud of their Incan Heritage and so willing to share it with others it was just palpable. Though not my main reason to come the excursion to Machupicchu was top notch and extra love and shout out to Leo who was our guide for that excursion. I say all this to say that Machupicchu Tours made my Cusco experience more than I could ever dream of and I left Cusco shedding tears because I didn’t want to leave. If traveling to South America is on your bucket list that includes Peru work with the team at Machupicchu Tours they will make a dream come true an experience you will talk about for the rest of your life. Mil Gracias Amigos por todo. Hasta la proxima!! M. Nieves Kansas City

Itinerary
"Our private van will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco and take you on a comfortable drive through the picturesque Sacred Valley to the train station in Ollantaytambo. Along the way, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of Andean landscapes, traditional villages, and towering mountain peaks.
Once we arrive at the station, you’ll board a scenic train that offers stunning panoramic views as it winds along the Urubamba River toward Machu Picchu Town (Aguas Calientes). During the journey, you can relax and take in the lush cloud forest, rugged cliffs, and the first glimpses of the mystical Machu Picchu region.
Upon arrival at Machu Picchu Town (Aguas Calientes), your expert guide will be waiting just outside the train station, holding a sign with your name for easy identification. After a warm welcome, we’ll take a short walk through this charming town to the bus station. From there, you’ll board a comfortable bus for a scenic 30-minute ride up the winding mountain roads, surrounded by lush cloud forest and breathtaking views of the towering Andes.
As we approach the entrance to the legendary Machu Picchu archaeological site, also known as the "Lost City of the Incas," you’ll have the opportunity to explore one of its three official circuits. Each circuit offers a unique perspective of this ancient wonder, showcasing its stunning architecture, breathtaking terraces, and sacred temples. At the time of your booking, we will secure your entrance ticket based on availability. Since access to Machu Picchu is limited and demand is high, your assigned circuit will depend on the availability at the time of reservation. We recommend booking as early as possible to increase your chances of getting your preferred route (CIRCUIT 2), we suggest 3 months in advance, other way we will offer you the circuit 1 or 3. Get ready to step into history! This ancient citadel, hidden for centuries, holds incredible mysteries, engineering marvels, and breathtaking views that will leave you in awe. Prepare for an unforgettable journey!

I visited Machu Picchu with my kids and I couldn’t have wished for a better experience. The entire trip was thoughtfully organized and tailored to our needs, which made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. We felt genuinely cared for throughout the day, and I really appreciated the flexibility, kindness, and attention to detail. Thank you for such beautiful memories! I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour, especially to families travelling with children kids.
Lots of issues with correspondence with this company and getting our tickets but after a lot of Whatsapp messages we were all set the night before. Taxi and train to Machu Picchu town was on our own and not very clear on what to do but we managed ok as there's lots of people to ask once you are at the train station. Guide only met us at Machu Picchu Town only tell us he would meet us in an hour to catch the bus to the top. He was ok in the complex but we could have easily stayed longer inside instead of waiting on carpark in-between circuits for an hour. Our return train was delayed which meant we were out for over 16 hours, a very long and tiring day. We felt this was a very expensive trip and didn't really offer good value for money but having seen the people queuing for tickets it was probably the simplest way to see the site.
We had an amazing experience exploring Machu Picchu with Willy Maqque! Everything was very well organized, and the entire tour was smooth from beginning to end. Willy Maqque provided so much valuable information, sharing fascinating facts, history, and details that made the experience even more special. His English was excellent, and all his explanations and instructions were clear, detailed, and easy to understand. On top of being knowledgeable and professional, he was also great at taking pictures! He captured some absolutely beautiful photos that will help us remember this incredible experience forever. I highly recommend Willy Maqque to anyone visiting Machu Picchu. If you want a well-organized tour with a knowledgeable guide, excellent communication, and amazing photos, he is the perfect choice!
Good tour with English speaking tour guide. We got a private tour for us only, which was great. All the transport was well arranged and the needed information was provided before. Would recommend to all!
Amazing experience. I've already recommend to my family, cousins and friends. The staff are well informed and Tania is so nice. Great staff they never let me down. The tour guides are a amazing.
I can’t recommend this agency highly enough! They made our vacation in Peru an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, they stood out for their attentiveness, punctuality, excellent organization, and incredible coordination throughout the entire trip. I would especially like to mention our guide, Will, in Cusco. His professionalism, knowledge, and passion for history made every visit even more fascinating. We were amazed by all the interesting facts he shared about Inca culture, traditions, and the different archaeological sites. Having a guide like him made our experience much more enriching and allowed us to appreciate each place in a completely different way. I would also like to give a special thank you to Tania, Celestino, Jesus, Yusof, and Don Neri in Lima for their kindness, attention, and for making us feel so well taken care of throughout our trip. We traveled from Costa Rica, and we are taking home wonderful memories of Peru. Thank you to the entire team for making sure everything was so well organized and for treating us with such warmth and care. Without a doubt, an excellent agency for exploring Peru. We highly recommend them! Warm regards, Yuliana, from Costa Rica 🇨🇷❤️🇵🇪
Perfect service, clear infos, prompt WhatsApp communication
A huge thank you to Tania for her incredible attention to detail and professionalism, and to Jesús for his wonderful support. Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy a truly magical tour, completely stress-free and without a single hitch. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend them to anyone!
Machu Picchu is pretty good place to visit. machupicchuperutravel made all the arrangements to make it a smooth ride for me. They asked me to upgrade to vistadome train which turned out to be a really good suggestion. I enjoyed the train, live music and vibrancy. Guided tour was fulfilling as well.
We booked the private Machu Picchu experience for two, including a private car transfer from Cusco to the train station, the Vistadome train, and a private guided tour of the site. It is certainly a premium-priced experience, but for such a once-in-a-lifetime destination, I would absolutely do it again. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Communication with Tania was excellent throughout the booking process. She was always responsive and helpful, and even came to our hotel the day before to hand over all our tickets, explain the itinerary in detail, and answer all our questions. That personal touch was greatly appreciated. When we arrived at the train station, our guide, Willy, warmly welcomed us and stayed with us throughout the entire visit. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the history, culture, and significance of Machu Picchu. His English was excellent, making every explanation easy to understand. He also knew all the best photo spots and helped us capture some unforgettable memories. To top it off, he recommended a very good restaurant (not included in the price) for after our visit, which was the perfect end to the visit while waiting for the return transfer. Be prepared for a long day from Cusco—our day started at 5:00 a.m. and we returned around 8:30 p.m. Most of the time is spent on transportation, transfers, and waiting (each way is around 4 hours: car+train+bus), while the visit to Machu Picchu itself lasts around 2.5 hours (we had booked Circuit 1, which offers the best views although you are not able to enter the village itself (this would be circuit 2). However, every minute is absolutely worth it. A big thank you to Tania and especially to Willy for making this unforgettable experience so smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Had a wonderful day in the Sacred Valley with Willy as our guide. It was great to have a guide with so much knowledge of the history, customs, and local people. And we appreciated all the special things he showed us.
We had an excellent experience on our Machu Picchu day tour and would highly recommend this company. A special thank you to Tania, who was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful from the moment we started planning our trip. We had a few changes and requests along the way, and Tania was always accommodating, making sure everything was organised perfectly and that our itinerary would work smoothly. Her communication was excellent, and she gave us confidence that everything was under control. All of our transportation, train tickets, and logistics were arranged flawlessly, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any stress. Our guide at Machu Picchu was also wonderful. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of the site. Thank you to Tania and the entire team for making our Machu Picchu experience so memorable!
They are the best operators to book with! Tania the owner is amazing she cares so much and makes the experience so personal and unique! She even gave us small alpaca souvenirs. Throughout the trip she made sure we were always okay and ensured every detailed. We met the night before the tour in cusco and she gave us a briefing which was soo useful!! Recommend 100%!
Outstanding experience with our Guide Willy! Everything was so organized, easy to understand and navigate. Highly recommend for private tours of two, which we did! It makes exploring Peru so much easier and enjoyable!
We had the best experience, perfect organisation and communication throughout the whole trip. Willie was the best guide! Highly recommend!
Tania was an amazing person to book this with! She was always attentive, I even called her at 2am because our shuttle hadn’t arrived and she pick up the phone, and shortly after the shuttle was there. I really enjoyed my experience in Machu Pichu and Tania made it better!
We recently completed the 2-Day Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco with Machu Picchu Peru Travel, and it was one of the best-organized and most enjoyable tours we have ever experienced in Peru. From the very first contact to the final goodbye at our hotel, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for our experience. Communication was exceptional right from the start. The team was incredibly responsive on WhatsApp, answering all our questions promptly and patiently, even when we had last-minute requests and changes. Their quick replies gave us complete peace of mind as we planned our trip to Peru. The day before our tour, we received a detailed briefing (via WhatsApp and in person) that clearly explained the entire itinerary, what to expect, what to bring, and all the important timings. It was thorough and reassuring, which helped us feel fully prepared and relaxed. What impressed us most was how flexible and accommodating the team was. We had booked different panoramic train rides and specific circuits for Machu Picchu, and they seamlessly adjusted everything to match our preferences without any hassle. Their ability to handle these details smoothly showed just how experienced and client-focused they are. Our English-speaking tour guides were simply fantastic! They were not only extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and significance of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, but they were also genuinely friendly, patient, and enthusiastic. They went above and beyond by acting as personal photographers for our group—taking beautiful photos from all the best angles and even suggesting creative shots we would never have thought of. Thanks to them, we now have stunning memories captured perfectly. The entire tour ran like clockwork. The transportation was comfortable and safe, the pacing was ideal (never rushed, but never boring), and the contingency plans they had in place for weather, altitude, or any unexpected situations made us feel truly well taken care of. Everything was thought through so we could simply relax and enjoy the magic of the Sacred Valley and the wonder of Machu Picchu. If you’re planning a trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu, I cannot recommend Machu Picchu Peru Travel highly enough. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, flexible approach, and warm, professional guides made our 2-day Sacred Valley tour an unforgettable highlight of our Peru adventure. Thank you to the entire team—you made our dream trip even more special! We will definitely be booking with you again on our next visit to Peru. Highly recommended – 10/10!
Machu Picchu Peru Travel – Super Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu 2D/1N Tour I highly recommend booking with Machu Picchu Peru Travel for any of their tours. We did the Super Sacred Valley with Machu Picchu 2D/1N, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the very beginning, their level of communication was top tier. Tania was fantastic, clear, quick, and informative even before we booked. She was patient, guided us through the process, and ensured we got the exact circuit we wanted 2B, making everything completely stress-free and well organised. When we arrived in Cusco, she personally met us at our hotel for a detailed briefing, which showed how much she genuinely cared about our experience and ensuring everything went smoothly. Pickup was always on time, and every effort was made to keep the tour running seamlessly. The Sacred Valley tour itself was very enjoyable, with a fluent English-speaking guide who made everything easy to understand and engaging. Later that evening, we boarded the train to Aguas Calientes, where we were met and guided to our hotel. That evening, our guide Ruth visited us for a briefing, she was humble, warm, and very professional. The next day, she accompanied us from the hotel to the bus and then up to Machu Picchu. Being a private tour made the experience feel very personal and insightful. Ruth shared a wealth of knowledge, took her time explaining everything, and even helped us capture some amazing photos. Overall, this tour was 100% worth it-excellent organisation, outstanding guides, and a truly stress-free way to experience Machu Picchu.
These days in Lima and Cusco were above and beyond excellence, it was amazing! What I found most interesting was its people! Peruvians are extremely helpful, charming and kind and of course hard workers! I felt save walking around even late at night. It was simply magical Regarding tours and attention they were very puntual, organized and everything was on time! I send a huge shout out to the agency and every single guide that help us through our journey!
Wow, what great service! I’ve been on many tours and few have had the clarity and communication skills that Tania and her team had. From the moment I reached out in interest to the end of the Machu Picchu excursion, Tania was exceptionally clear and helpful, making every step very easy to follow. Planning Machu Picchu on your own is *technically* possible, but it takes a tremendous amount of work to plan with a lot of unknown variables. Booking a tour with Machu Picchu Peru Travel makes it easy for not much more cost, and eases the anxiety of all the unknowns with the complex journey. It is truly a great value for travelers. Now if only I could have Tania organize the rest of life…! :)
We had an outstanding experience with Taina at Machu Picchu. He was extremely professional, passionate and knowledgeable about Inca history, culture and the site itself. she adjusted the pace perfectly for our group, answered all our questions patiently, and made the whole tour fascinating and memorable. We couldn’t ask for a better guide and highly recommend him to everyone traveling to Machu Picchu.
We had a great experience with this tour agency on our trip to Machu Picchu. Tania was incredibly kind, helpful, and responsive — she answered all my questions while I was gathering information and really reassured me before traveling. Once we arrived, everything was very well organized. Tania and her assistant were professional, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciated their support and would definitely recommend this agency
Incredible experience. They were very adaptable and responsive. Everything was taken care of. If you are a group looking for a good company to explore Machu Picchu with, look no further!
I joined my friend’s group to Peru last minute, and Tania was absolutely wonderful! She went out of her way to make sure everything was arranged for me and my other friend who also joined last minute so we could still have an amazing experience. Everything ran so smoothly, and she was always so kind, honest, and easy to communicate with. We had such a great time . I highly recommend Tania to anyone planning a trip to Peru!
We recently traveled to Peru with our family and close friends, six of us in total, and had a truly wonderful experience thanks to this travel agency and Tania. Communication with Tania was smooth and consistent throughout the trip. She kept us updated daily about our guides, though receiving that information a bit earlier would have been even better. Most of our guides spoke English, which was especially helpful since only two members of our group spoke Spanish. Our Machu Picchu guide Willie, stood out as exceptional—he was incredibly knowledgeable and a fantastic communicator, making that part of the journey especially memorable. Everyone we encountered was friendly, punctual, and courteous. Safety was a top priority for us, and we felt completely comfortable with all the transportation provided. Overall, the trip was well organized and truly unforgettable.
Spent the most amazing 8 days of my life in Peru . Tania is the best travel agent. She has been very accommodative and responsive to our needs . I recommend her to get the best deals and services.
We recently returned from an incredible trip to Peru, and we owe it all to Tania from Machu Picchu Peru Travels. From start to finish, she was professional, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable about the destination. Every detail from our accommodations and guided tours to transportation and local experiences was perfectly planned. Tania took the time to understand our travel style and preferences, and she created Spotting Sea Lions in Islas de Ballestas in Paracas, dune bashing and sand surfing at the Oasis de Huancachina, hiking Machu Picchu, exploring the Sacred Valley, and riding on ATVs to the Rainbow Mountain. What stood out most was her responsiveness and care, even during the trip. When we had a minor questions while abroad, she replied immediately and ensured everything went smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better travel experience and would absolutely recommend Tania and Machu Picchu to anyone planning a trip to Peru!
Our Machu Picchu tour with Tania was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and so passionate about sharing the history and culture of this magical place. Her explanations brought the ancient ruins to life, weaving together fascinating stories and insights that made the whole experience unforgettable. Tania was also patient, kind, and attentive to everyone in the group, making sure we felt comfortable and had plenty of time to explore, take photos, and truly soak in the beauty of Machu Picchu. She went above and beyond to make the day special, and her positive energy made the journey even more enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide—thank you, Tania, for an amazing experience that I will remember forever! If you are planning to visit Machu Picchu, I highly recommend booking a tour with her.
As a solo traveler, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived in Lima, Tania organized everything so smoothly — airport pick-ups, hotels, and all the tours. I got to see Lima city, Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain, and Humantay Lake, and at each step I felt safe and cared for. She even surprised me with little souvenir which made the trip feel special. Traveling alone can sometimes feel overwhelming, but with Tania’s support, I could just enjoy the journey. She made Peru feel welcoming and unforgettable — I’m so grateful for the memories❤️❤️
We had an excellent experience with Machu Picchu Peru Travel during our trip to Machu Picchu. Communication with the agency was smooth and efficient, the package cost was very reasonable and the quality of services provided was consistently high at every stage and from all the people involved. We would definitely choose to work with them again on a future visit to Peru.
Verywell organized a 10-day private tour for six with car, driver, and guide. Provided very well English speaking guide for all daily tours. Customized daily itinerary based on our demand
The trip was great! Our guide was very knowledgeable and the entire staff was very friendly. They made complicated logistics very seamless and were very communicative throughout the process. We especially appreciate the visit the day before and the gifts after the tour!
Perfect, everything went smoothly, the tour guide service was excellent, and they helped take photos. Machu Picchu is truly beautiful and worth a visit.
We recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Peru, all thanks to the amazing work of our travel agent, Tania. From start to finish, she was absolutely fantastic! Tania took care of every detail, and her planning made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. She was incredibly responsive—any time we had a question or a small issue, she was on it immediately with a solution. What really stood out was how often she checked in with us throughout the trip, just to make sure everything was going well and to offer support or reassurance if needed. That level of care is rare and truly appreciated. Thanks to Tania, we were able to fully enjoy the beauty and adventure of Peru without any of the usual travel headaches. We felt looked after the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a trip—especially if you want expert help, thoughtful touches, and someone who genuinely cares about your experience. Thank you, Tania!
Tania was the most attentive, professional knowledgeable, and reliable travel agent I have ever work with. Of the many examples, one that stands out was when we were very worried about our airport arrival time to the airport, Tania immediately responded and eased our worries as she did numerous times through out our seven day vacation.
Well, the tour and tour guide were amazing, but i had some problems with booking in this agency, and they don't care about you and your time. So i would recommend to find another opportunities to book tour to Machu Picchu.
The service was very attentive, and the tour guide was also very professional. The scenery along the way was very beautiful, and it was a wonderful trip
We took the one-day tour to Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain. Although there was a small misunderstanding regarding the language of the tour, the team immediately resolved the issue, and we were assigned to another guide—an exceptional one. We really appreciated his attention to detail, the fact that he didn’t rush us throughout the tour, and that we had plenty of time to explore, take photos, and learn valuable information about the Incas and the history of Machu Picchu. The tour to Rainbow Mountain was also excellent. I loved that the guide accompanied us to the Red Valley, even though this part of the tour was optional, and only five of us chose to do it that day. The tour included a varied and delicious breakfast and lunch, transportation, and a guide. Overall, Machu Picchu Peru Travel was prompt, provided us with all the information we needed, and offered assistance both during and outside the tours. Communication was efficient, and the prices were fair. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
Great agency. Our main contact was Tania who organized all our excursions and made sure during our time in Cusco that our itenary was perfect!
We had the best time with Mach Picchu Peru Travel company, not only in the Tambopata Amazon rainforest, but our one day Machu Picchu tour! We struggled to find reviews with them on the rainforest portion so we weren’t sure what to expect and it was so amazing!!! Our guide, Javier was super knowledgeable, easy-going and all around wonderful. Everything was taken care of from transportation to and from the airport, to the beautiful accommodations, to the best food we’ve had in Peru. We even asked them for some of their recipes on this four day excursion because it was so well flavored. They accommodated vegetarian and dairy free! We saw a lot of animals thanks to our guide and I would recommend the four day tour because otherwise if you only do three days you just have one day to potentially see animals! We could not recommend using this 100% Peruvian travel company more!! We would love to come back and use them again! They also were very communicative via WhatsApp and laid out all the details for both the Amazon rainforest tour and the one day Machu Picchu tour.
The view was amazing and the response from the officers are really fast!! I am very pleased to send this trip successfully.
The trip is a package tour with daily group assignments managed by the staff. While a staff member explains the itinerary at the hotel before the trip, it would be better if they provided a complete paper itinerary.
Great day trip! We got the upgraded train tickets and enjoyed the journey. What a magical place. As an FYI the food/drinks for additional purchase on the train are quite pricy.
The whole trip was extremely well organized! It was just fabulous. I had email contact with the organizer even when we only arrived in Cusco at 9:30 pm. She called me to walk me through the details of timing and steps for the actual tour. I was sent all the required tickets. The next morning we were picked up at our hotel shortly before 5 am by a driver in a very nice and clean car and were taken to the train station in Ollantaytambo where we took the amazing Vistadome train to Aguas Calientes. The views were incredible. Our excellent guide met us at the train station and then we lined up for the bus to Machu Picchu. The line looked long but moved quickly. Our guide, Jaime, was great. Very knowledgeable, gave us lots of fascinating information and the tour lasted about 3.5 hours. We then repeated the steps to return back to our hotel where we arrived around 7 pm. We had time to explore Aguas Calientes before getting back on the vistadome train, again with incredible views. It was truly a once in a lifetime, very special day and it was truly so well organized. The next day I was again contacted by the tour organizer to ensure everything went well and they even left a few little presents for us at the hotel front desk. Definitely very highly recommend booking this tour!!
We only had 2 days in Cusco so we booked a full-day private tour. Tania was very responsive, she took care of everything (private transfer from/to our hotel, train tickets, guide inside Machu Picchu). The private guide (Willy) was super helpful, knowledgeable and spoke a perfect english. It was a very long day, starting at 4am, but what an amazing day. Thank you!
Tania and Jaqui were great. Very good communication from booking all the way to the end of the tour. The bi-modal bus and train journey to Aguas Calientes and from Cuzco was very long. The only thing that could've made the experience better is if there was a direct train between these two stations. Machu Picchu itself was beautiful and exactly what you see in photos. Thank you to Tania and Jaqui for organizing and for the care they showed in making sure I had no problems finding my way.
I had the best experience traveling to Machu Picchu organized by Tania. Her and the guide Willie’s English was so good it was amazing. Tania organized the transportation from my hotel pick up , transfer to the train station, I got the best seats in the train with 360 view ! Then my guide was waiting for me at the other side of station and we proceeded to Machu Picchu. I learned so much history , architecture, the best restaurants to eat, the best stores to shop , the best places to see. I am super happy with this agency. Never had I ever had any problems, concerns , questions because it was organized so perfectly and explained very clearly. I had all tickets delivered to my hotel and I personally met Tania. I highly recommend!!! Definitely will be back for more adventures since my visit was very short only 3 days in Cusco Peru.
Fantastik tour to a fantastic place. Very good tour guide. Everyting was vitling well, transport with var, train and bus.
Tania made my trip to Maccu Picchu a reality. She was so incredibly helpful in making my last minute request to visit MP a reality! She supported in every detail, was so communicative and made sure I knew all of the information throughout the trip. Getting to Maccu Picchu is complicated and there is a lot of run around so having someone to support throughout is incredibly helpful. Could not recommend this agency enough! From personalized taxi transport, logistics and following up to ensure the trip was going smoothly- for the price you can’t beat it!
