Private Machu Picchu Day Tour | Vistadome Train & All Tickets

This is one of the most breathtaking experiences I’ve ever had on a vacation. And I am fairly well traveled. Machu Picchu is an absolutely awesome place to visit .Our private guide was magnificent. he took some really great pictures of my friend, and me, steered us away from the crowds and knew all the right spots to get the best shots. Gave us a very good both of you of the history of Machu Picchu.I would definitely like to visit again. I would recommend getting a private guide to take this tour. The crowds can get rather overwhelming. Every detail was taken care of and my friend and I felt very safe and appreciated all the attention and guidance we received.

Great tour with Luis. He was awesome in explaining details and history of Machu Picchu. Luis made this trip very memorable! From the pickup from my hotel to the drop off this tour was awesome! Thanks everyone!!

A good day excursion to see Machu Picchu! You are whatsapp-ed details including a personalised day briefing which tells you how it all works: driver from Cusco to Ollantaytambo, he gives you your ticket for the day (train, bus, entry). The train journey was great, we had the vistadome version and there was comp snacks and entertainment. Our guide met us outside the station at Aguas Caliente and we took the bus up to Machu Picchu together and had over 2.5hours tour. It was very informative and of course great to see one of the wonders of the world. When we came down, we had an included lunch (drinks not included) before making the train/drive back. A great experience overall

Fredi ~ Tour Operator from MachuPichuLatinAmerica did an awesome job in scheduling, booking the MachuPichu Circuit 1 activity in the last minute for 12/25 at 10 am . He ensured the itinenary was shared and clear with the detailed instructions. He also ensured that the pick up and drop off at various points from/to hotel; train ride from Ollantaytambo to Auguas Calientes; Bus ride from Auguas Calientes to MachuPichu along with the lunch was well coordinated and orchestrated. Will look forward to doing this trip once again in the future with Fredi.

I did my tour with this company last week and I can’t say enough good things about them. They were on time to pick us up from Cusco in a comfortable car. They were able to communicate effectively and move us around in an organized way even in the chaotic environment (lots of tourists). We had two tour guides for the two circuits we did and they were incredibly kind and had so much knowledge about Machu Picchu. I totally recommend them if you want to have a no-worries trip.

Luis is the most knowledgeable caring guide. He knows the history of this place and will go out of his way to make sure you are taken care of. If anyone dares claim otherwise they’re liars. I will fight for this man with my dying breath.

Everything about this trip was first class. The tour team was always there to help and keep us moving through the lines....always a great explanation of what we need to do and where we needed to be. Our actual tour guide was very knowledgeable. I know this tour is a bit more expensive, but when you are there and get to see how complicated the process can be....it's good to pay the extra money and enjoy the experience.

Let's be real: Machu Picchu is the "main event" for any stay in the Cusco region. And for those of us not willing/able to hike the Inca Trail, a solid day trip is key to experiencing this wonder of the world, and that's exactly what this was. Everything was planned out for us in advance, and this company has it down to a science. We were picked up from our hotel in Cusco, driven to Ollantaytambo, given an easy-to-manage set of tickets for everything we needed for the day (round trip vistadome tickets for PeruRail, round trip bus tickets to get up and down the mountain), were greeted when we got off the train, were met by an amazing tour guide (Paul) who showed and taught us so much about Machu Picchu, all while answering our questions and taking all the pictures we could have ever dreamed of. This is the ultimate day trip to see this amazing site, and we could not be happier with the way everything went!

The organization was perfect Fredi provided me with all the information and made sure the day went wonderfully. An experience that I highly recommend

This is an amazing tour, but our guide made a huge difference . Efrain F. is so knowledgeable about the history of Peru! He gave us so much insight about not only the history but the myths and legends of the locals. He made our experience superb and also gave us so many tips about where to eat, how to take care of ourselves, and where to buy stuff. He is so friendly, polite patient, kind and made time to accommodate our needs and preferences. There was no question he did not have an answer for! I absolutely recommend taking this tour and make sure to request Efrain F. As your guide!! It’ll make the whole difference!

Amazing! My tour guide was just absolutely fantastic. I recommend this tour to anyone looking to go to Peru and visit Machu Picchu.

We had a great time! A few small hiccups along the way but over all Fred was very responsive and we had an amazing day!

Perfect experience. Bryan was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable & friendly. Everything was smooth from the pick up in the morning, train ride, to the drop off at the end of the night. I would highly recommend this tour if you prefer to take on Machu Picchu without a 10-20 person group! Well worth the money spend.

Everything was perfect for except the lunch and the restaurant. Hopefully they will pick a way better lunch spot for next time. Thank you!

Great experience with this company. My tour guide, Bryan, was very knowledgeable and super friendly. Train ticket was perfect & transportation was on time. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking to go on a more private tour of Machu Picchu, without the hassle of waiting on a bunch of other people; this is the way to go!!

I had a great experience! My tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind. I felt safe during the whole trip. He even gave me sunscreen and a hat to wear.

Perfectly organized and a friendly welcome via Whatsapp. The private transfers took place in good cars. The guide waited at the train station with a sign. The tour at Macchu Picchu itself was outstanding. The guide explained everything and showed me the best places for photos. Overall a very good day at Macchu Picchu.

They picked us up from the hotel lobby, explained how the day was going to go and what to expect. Made sure we had no questions. Ramon our driver went above and beyond and got us to the gate of the train station by foot because there were too many cars to get through. Then after the train ride our guide Michael met us and took us through many historical sites, along the way stopping at the best sites for pictures and was able to answer whatever questions we had. Overall great experience. Was way better booking private. Felt completely safe and secure, stress free, which is important when traveling in another country. Don’t hesitate, book with them. You won’t regret it!

The owner met us in the lobby of our hotel and explained how our day would go. Asked us if we had any questions, introduced us to our personal driver, who then took us to the train station. There was so much traffic when we got to the train station. The driver parked his car and walked us up to the gate where they took our ticket and we loaded the train. Michael met us as soon as we got off the train and led us around Machu Picchu including many historical facts. He took as many pictures as we wanted and pointed out some good spots as well. I cannot say enough about how incredible this experience was. This company made us feel as if we were in good hands from start to finish. It was a huge help and took much stress off of traveling in a foreign country. It made our family vacation that much more enjoyable.

It's been my second time to Machu Picchu. I'd rather recommend taking the two day tour (which I did last year) as the ratio of time spent in the car and train compared to being in Aquas Caliente and visiting Machu Picchu is quite exhausting. Give yourself some time and enjoy it even more. Fredi and his team were doing an amazing job again. Very well prepared, super punctual and always willing to help. If you spend some time around Cusco, book one of their trips.

A team of Varones who took care of me on my trip alone to Machu Picchu, the trip was well planned that there were no problems along the way.

This was a great experience all around. Fredi was a very good organizer and helped us schedule everything we wanted. Michael was a fantastic host for Machu Picchu and was super knowledgeable about the region. He even went above and beyond to help us change the time of our train tickets. Overall a great experience!

This was my first time in South America and first time seeing one of the 7 wonders of the world. We had Miguel guiding us and he genuinely made the experience. He told us about history, took professional photos and showed us everything we could see at Machu Picchu. From there he brought us back into town and even got us on an earlier train to go back to Cuzco. Miguel was the MVP of the trip. After spending time with him on this tour I completely understand why everyone knows him and says hi whenever he is around. No better guide to see Machu Picchu with than him!

Getting to Machu Picchu from Cusco is a complicated trek involving cars, trains and buses. And experiencing any historic site or tourist destination with a large group prevents you from going at your own pace. Viator simplified all the logistics and allowed us to explore and photograph the ancient Inca city at our leisure. Edyson, our tour guide, was knowledgable, patient and accommodating. Mapacho, the restaurant Viator arranged for our lunch, has a beautiful view of the river below and exceeded our expectations in multiple ways (there was even quality live music). And spending a little extra to ride the Vistadome train car, with its glass ceiling-enhanced view of the surrounding scenic landscapes, was money well spent.

Every minute details were well taken care and planned to perfection, be it pick up from cusco tickets for train and bus or entry tickets. Jose the guide was knowledgeable.

We had a fabulous trip to Machu Picchu with everything planned for us . The day before our trip , the tour agent jet us st our hotel to run through the day and everything we needed to k ow . Highly recommend this tour if you are planning one day to Machu Picchu ... everything was organised perfectly and our tour guide st Machu Picchu was terrific .

I strongly believe that I overpaid for this tour.....Do not get me wrong, Machi Picchu is a most in Peru but I paid for a private tour as I wanted and needed someone who would take care of the entrance ticket to Machu Picchu, the bus and train transportation. Getting in touch with the company was almost a mission impossible. They are very hard to reach and I had to send several emails before they finally responded. As the confirmation paper does not state if the train and bus tickets were included. I had a driver pick me up at my hotel timely arounf 4-4:30 am. He took me to Ollataytambo Train station which it was over 1 hour away from Cusco. Then I took the train to Aguas Caliente which it was a little bit over 2 hour ride. Once I arrived to Aguas Calientes, I was lost as there were a lot of people going to Machu Picchu and this lady, who was very nice provided very quick instructions for me to get into the bus to Machu Picchu. She took a picture of me with the excuse that she would send it to me later (she never sent it) but I guess it was for her to send it to my guide so he would recognized me. She was very explicit that there were going to be many guides by the entrance that would offer their services but to not listen to any of them and wait for mine. After 25 more additonal minutes in the bus to Machi Picchu my guide recognized me and we walk through the ruins. He was very knowledgable, very nice but me having a very sensitive smell, it felt like the guide hadn;t taken a shower in a few days and spending 2.5 hours with him was hard on my nose. He was nice, he explained everything, took many pictures even knew the best spots for pictures but at timeshe was talking so fast, like reciting s story that I would get lost in his story telling. He should take more pauses and make sure whoever is listening understands. After we were done, he just said to take the bus back to Aguas Calientes and mentioned the name of the place where they reserve for lunch, which was Mapi. The hostess treated me like trash! the didn't want to take care of me and wanted me to seat outside in the back!. I asked for the wifi password which she only gave after I asked for a second time. The food was delicious but the service was horrible. I didn't get anything to drink and I had to approach more than once because I was being ignore! Again, I paid over $400 for this tour and I should have been treated much better, you can do everything on your own, save $ and have a better experien

Everything about this tour was perfect. Two days before, Franklin arrived at the hotel to give us the briefing of what the tour would be like. He left us perfectly ordered tickets, train, bus, tickets to the park and itinerary. The day of the tour, Jordi, the one in charge of taking us from the hotel to the train station, was punctual and super polite. While we were going to the train station, another car collided with ours and for a moment I thought "we are going to miss Machu Picchu". Jordi immediately got another car to take us, and he was left solving the problem of the accident. Martin, the driver who got us Jordi, was also super friendly and courteous, took us to the train which we even arrived 10 minutes before and explained clearly all the steps we had to follow when arriving in Ollantaytambo. Fredi, the general coordinator, even had the kind gesture of calling Martin's phone to ask how we were doing and if everything was fine with us due to the accident. (as if it was his fault). The trip on the train was magical. We took the Vista Dome and I can actually tell you that it is worth every extra penny you pay to have a view of such a beautiful landscape. In Ollantaytambo we were received for a young lady who guided us to board the bus that would take us to Machu Picchu, where Jose Luis, our guide, was waiting for us. Jose Luis is someone who knows a lot about Machu Picchu (pronounced ma-choo-peek-choo). If you go, and you are lucky enough to have Jose Luis as a guide, please ask him what does "Pichu" mean;), because he wouldn't tell me. Machu Picchu is simply magical. There is no more to say. It is overwhelming. Traveling friend: If Machu Picchu is part of your bucket list, do not leave it for later. And if you go to Machu Picchu, PLEASE hire this company to be your guide, they are super professional, polite...they are wonderful. All tourism companies in Cusco should follow the high standard set by Mr. Fredi's company. Congratulations. You are it. When I return to Cusco, I will make sure to hire ALL of my tours with you. A big hug. And again, thank you very much

From start to finish, my experience was flawless. The driver came to pick us up on time. The drive to the station was comfortable. The driver was kind and attentive. The tour guide was knowledgeable about the ruins and their history. We had an amazing time.

Machu Picchu is magical but the service that the private full day provides is impeccable. Highly recommend the local service.

The transportation to Machu Picchu was great. Everything was on time & efficient. Our private tour guide (Erick) was wonderful. He shared so much knowledge & showed us all the great spots for photos while in Machu Picchu. The transportation back (specifically the train ride) was TERRIBLE. we paid premium money for the Vistadome & it broke down. We were stuck for quite sometime on the tracks & there was absolutely NO communication on what was going on. VERY disappointing. We got home over 2 hours late with no compensation. I will be reaching out to address that in more detail. Besides that detail it was incredible though!

The tour was an excellent way to get to and from the site, as well as a very informative private tour at the Machu Picchu ruins. My hotel pickup was confirmed the day before and my driver (Jhordy Mendicabal) was on time and provided all the further information and tickets required. It is about a 90 min drive to Ollantaytambo, then a 90 min train ride (I took the Vistadome option which is like premium economy (the Hiram Bingham is more like business class)). At the end of the train ride I was met by a sign holding staff member who guided me to the bus (about a 20 min trip up to Machu Picchu) where I met my private tour guide Victor (took a little bit of finding in the crowds). Victor was extremely knowledgeable and validated my decision to go with a private tour guide - with the ability to ask questions and receive answers directly as more or less a continuous conversation as we moved through the ruins. Victor also had a number of historic photos which brought into perspective what the site looked like when it was rediscovered in the early 1900s. Two hours at the site itself is about right to see all of the ruins without rushing. Once back at Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town) I had the included buffet lunch at the very nice Ayasqa restaurant where I also killed some time in the comfortable entrance lounge area before heading to the train station (via the shops). The trip home was quite smooth with travel times replicating the outward journey. The trains were right on time there and back (very efficient) and Jhordy my driver was there to meet me at Ollantaytambo and drive me the 90 mins back to Cusco. Special thanks to Jhordy given the amount of driving he had to do to support my trip. Overall an excellent experience.

<p>I would highly recommend this tour. We were well taken care of from start to finish. Our driver picked us up at the hotel and delivered us to the train. We were met by another person when we got off the train and escorted to the bus. Our guide Carlos led us through Machu Picchu and tailored the tour to what we wanted to see and our abilities. Carlos was a great guide and we learned so much about Machu Picchu and the Inca culture from him. We had some time to shop before we boarded our train for the trip back. While this was a long day, we really enjoyed the personal attention that the private tour afforded us.</p>

<p>We loved the Vistadome Train. The tour was amazing. The tour guide, Jose was wonderful. He taught us so much. I would take this tour again in a heartbeat! The only thing I would say is that you need to check your tickets closely as soon as you get them. For the train ride back two hours long the tour company had separated my 13 year old son and I into two separate train cars. He was very upset. We had to beg the Peru Rail staff to fix it for us. Thankfully, they found two seats in the same car and we were able to sit together. Overall everything was wonderful!</p>

<p>I had a wonderful time on my Machu Picchu private tour. I was picked up from my hotel on time, early in the morning. I met my tour guide, Fredi, at the site. The whole thing was just perfect. No delays, good communication, information, and very good tour of the site. The train ride was also quite something. I will recommend this trip to anyone who wants to visit the ruins on a more personal level.</p>

<p>The place is already great to visit! The structure to receive lots of tourists everyday is really good and the team pick up drivers and guide were really helpful and kind. The train from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu is very comfortable and there was a very nice dance presentation during the trip back to Cusco.</p>

<p>These guys really take care of you. Every step along the way. From picking us up at the hotel, to driving us to the train station, to putting us on the train, to picking us up at Aguas Caliente, giving us a very substantial box lunch with additional snacks and drinks and then putting us on a bus for Machu Picchu with our guide, Carlos waiting for us there. Carlos was very knowledgeable about Machu Picchu and did the tour at our speed. he explained the history, the significance of all of the buildings and the Inca religion. He then accompanied us back to Aguas Caliente, where they fed us dinner, and because there was some time before the train, actually got a hotel room for us to rest! That was not included in the itinerary, but they did not charge us for that. The dinner was very good, and our family felt that we were very well taken care of from the time they picked us up at the hotel until the time they dropped us off. Wonderful time, and we expect to come back with more of our family, and we will use these guys again!</p>

We contacted the agency from Italy to book the excursion to Machu Picchu. Fredi was very precise in giving us all the necessary information and once in Cusco everything was exactly as planned, attention to every detail. It was a fantastic experience- highly recommended

So many that they can't finally describe the wonderfulness of the place. The guide so well is wonderful, caring and friendly. Unforgettable memories.
