He was a lovely, friendly and funny tour guide. He made sure that no one in the group blocked anyone else’s way, which we Germans really appreciate. He also took some great photos of us at the famous spots.

Great guide. Very knowledgeable.
My family and I toured Machu Picchu with Ernesto. He met us at the bus stop, and helped us get a bus to get there. Once we arrived we had 2/2.5 hours to do Route 2. He was so lovely, and really explained everything in great detail. We got a good impression of life in Machu Picchu and Ernesto taught us lots of interesting facts about the town and Incan life. He also took lots of amazing photos and videos of us, making sure we had the best views. Great value for money, and had we gone by ourselves we would have missed so much.
The tour guide is very knowledgeable. He shared interesting stories about the site and was very attentive to us. Also took some great pictures!
We met Ernesto outside of the train station! It was an amazing tour - he knows everything about machpichu and speaks very good english. 10/10 would recommend excellent value for the money. He even knew when to walk in so we could get a coffee and then skip the lines. Great experience!
Ernesto approached me at the bus stop in AC and offered his services to take me on circuit 2A at MP. Best decision ever!!! He was so patient, knowledgeable and took great photos of me. Thank you Ernesto
Ernesto, our tour guide was very mindful that we wanted to take alot of photos of machu picchu.

Wonderful experience! Glad we met our guide, otherwise we would have been lost. He takes the best pictures!
Ernesto was a great guide. We were initially thinking about visiting without a guide but we’re really pleased we went with Ernesto. There were just four of us in the group so it was easy to listen to his commentary (which taught us a lot about the site, it’s buildings snd its history) and meant we had time for photos (which Ernesto helped us with). All in all, great value for money.
Awesome experience. Ernesto was really informative, answered all our questions, and provided a fun experience overall. He also took looots of pics for us!
Ernest was an amazing guide. Wonderful English-speaker, warn, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about history. Loves to answer questions and takes amazing photos. He had us pose in the best places and he used multiple different photo settings to get the perfect shot. He did fun and amazing tricks with our phone camera’s to get use really beautiful/cool shots. This was a breath-taking and amazing experience. Ernesto was worth every penny we paid. We will remember him and MachuPicchu forever. It could not have gone better!
Ernesto was our guide and he was amazing. He met us at the bus line and even helped us figure out the bus tickets. Once there he was very efficient at getting us in line and in asap for our time slot. He was incredibly knowledgeable and knew all the ways to make our experience not feel over crowded by other people. It was good to understand the history and nuances of the buildings while walking around. It provides a deeper appreciation for the historical site. And a bonus, Ernesto was basically a professional photographer. There's no way we would have gotten such great memorable photos without him. Thank you Ernesto!
Ernesto was my guide, he was patient and very knowledgeable. And great photographer!

We had Ernesto as our tour guide and he was amazing! He was able to help maximize our experience with informative descriptions of everything we walked past and was an incredibly kind and thoughtful guide. We also had a family of 3 Brazilians in our group and Ernesto was able to effortlessly bounce between English and Portuguese so that all of us got were able to have the experience we envisioned before coming to Machu Picchu. The tour was $20 USD per person and was well worth it. We would highly recommend Ernesto to anyone looking to make the most of their time at this modern wonder of the world.
Ernesto was the best! He spoke English very well, and gave us a lot of good information. He also knew the best spot to take the pictures.

Very informative, very friendly. Spoke English. Helped took great photos. Really knows his stuff. Definitely recommend for anyone.
I recently took a private tour of Machu Picchu’s Circuit 1, and while it was a memorable experience, I wish I had chosen a longer circuit. The guide was absolutely fantastic—his knowledge of the Inca culture, history, and the architecture of Machu Picchu was impressive. He was incredibly passionate about sharing details that made the site come alive, and his explanations added so much depth to the experience. The circuit itself was a bit short, and although we saw some beautiful views and key areas, I felt like we didn’t get the chance to fully explore the ancient city of the Incas. I would highly recommend opting for a longer route if you really want to dive deeper into the history and visit more of the site.
Ernesto was a great tour guide, provided information in Spanish and English and gave great insight to the history of the incas If you get chance and can book in advance go for the tour of the viewpoint and citadel. Also, book online - way cheaper than booking through a travel agent
Calm knowledgeable guide. Speaks several languages (English, spanish, Portuguese, some French) which was helpful.
Ernesto was our guide and he assured we had the most amazing experience!! He is very knowledgeable and passionate about history and he shows that in what he does. I couldn’t recommend him enough!
WOW! Once in a lifetime experience and all thanks to Ernesto and his amazing guide skills. We met Ernesto in the bus line in Aguas Calientes the morning of our 9am reservation for Machu Picchu. He gave us a briefing of the tour, what to expect and answered all of our questions. We felt so well taken care of and didn’t have to worry about a thing except for enjoying one of the 7 Wonders of the World. We would do it again in a heartbeat and would recommend Ernesto or any of his team to all of our friends and family.
Excellent guide and gorgeous view. Guide is humorous and knowledgeable. Helped us find best place and timing to enjoy the views. Learnt a lot about stories and culture behind all these sites. Fantastic experience.
Wonderful experience today visiting the Machupicchu archeological site. Our guide, Ernesto, has make this visit unforgettable. He is very nice and provided useful information. Moreover, he kindly took several beautiful pictures of us. Thanks again Ernesto!
Can't recommend this enough. Guide Ernesto was amazing, very informative and took some amazing photos. Thank you for everything!!
Great time with the family with young kids (7 & 5). Ernesto really was patient with us and answered all our questions and the kids questions.
Ernesto was an excellent guide! We travelled with our 5 and 7 year old and he kept them both entertained c pointing out all kinds of animals to them. He was also very knowledgeable about the whole place!
Ernesto was a great guide for Machu Picchu. Very professional and knowledgable. Will 100% recommend Ernesto as your guide for this visit..
Communication before the tour was very good. Pickup from station was smooth and easy, and the guide took us to the bus stop which was good. However unfortunately our guide was not good, focussing too much on his own academic work on Machu Picchu but not providing information to us or answering our questions. The photos taken were also mixed in quality. Second half of the tour was much better as he provided a lot more information regarding the ruins which we were more interested in than his thesis.
Life long dream. Ernesto made even more special . Got to witness it with my son on my birthday. Views were spectacular. Ernesto was amazing his knowledge , humor and honesty were refreshing. Took the stress out of the trip and made it a very special and memorable day for my son and I - can’t rate Ernesto highly enough . Thanks for the memories sir
