Everything went as planned, our guide (Ernesto) was waiting for us at the entrance to Machu Picchu. He provided lot of historical information and answered plenty of questions, would highly recommend.
Great guide, Ernesto was very knowledgeable, friendly and answered our questions.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Eduardo on our private tour of Machu Picchu! Booking well in advance was easy, and communication leading up to the tour was excellent. Eduardo provided clear instructions and made sure we were well prepared for the day. On the day of the tour, he met us at the train station and personally guided us to the bus station, helping us navigate everything and ensuring we had everything we needed. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. The tour itself was incredible and last 2.5 hours. Eduardo is extremely knowledgeable about Machu Picchu and its history, and he’s an excellent storyteller who brings the site to life in a way that makes everything genuinely fascinating. He’s also charismatic, personable, and an excellent photographer who knew all the right places to take amazing pictures. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of the experience, and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision to book with him. I would absolutely recommend Eduardo and would not hesitate to book with him again! If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, engaging, and professional guide for Machu Picchu, Eduardo is an excellent choice.
The guide took awesome pictures, told the history. He did what he was supposed to. My only complaint is he was dismissive to some of our questions and had contradicting information to previous tour. He also kept saying he took the pictures that was in the guide book. Every guide has that book. So, he was questionable.
We had an amazing time! Eduardo made our experience top-notch - visiting this wonder would not have been the same without him! Eduardo's passion, knowledge, and expertise was outstanding! He met us for the bus ride up/down, assisted with a smooth transfer into Machu Picchu, and even took incredible photos of our group throughout! We are so grateful for this experience and opportunity to learn about this magnificent and sacred place! Thank you Eduardo!!!
Eduardo was exceptional! The best tour guide I have ever had. He was extremely knowledgeable and fun to tour with. 10/10 would recommend!
Great experience. Eduardo is a very knowledgeable guide. Good communication in advance. He helped me take some nice pictures and delivered information very concisely and with passion. It really felt like he knew the history of Machu Picchu well and really cared about it’s significance.
Our private tour of Machu Picchu with Eduardo was an unforgettable experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history about Machu Picchu that made the visit even more meaningful. My friend and I struggled a bit with the climb and had to stop for breaks, but Eduardo was so patient and never made us feel rushed. He was also happy to wait while we took plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. His professionalism and kindness made this iconic experience even more special. I highly recommend booking a tour with Eduardo!
We had Edward as a tour guide for Machu Picchu Circuit 3, and he was phenomenal! Thanks you so much for the great tour!
Eduardo was an excellent guide and photographer. He was very knowledgeable and helped us really experience our visit to Machu Picchu. Definitely worth arranging in advance.
Absolutley amazing, Great knowledge, wonderful servcie. Immediatley after booking had full support via whatsapp chat. Pick up from hotel after reach. We could not have enjoyed Machu Picchu without him.
We had wonderful tours with Eduardo! We knew if we didn’t get a guide we would be missing out on a lot of information. We went up two days, doing different routes, and his knowledge of the space, culture, and language was incredible. I highly recommend a guide, and will encourage people to book with Eduardo! We booked directly on the website, and communication was easy and responsive via WhatsApp. Eduardo met us at our hotel in Aguas Calientes both mornings and prepared us for all the things we needed ahead of our visit. It made the whole experience less stressful! We did route 1D (8:00am ticket) and 3B (6:00am ticket) separate days. It was a good combination and I highly recommend the earlier ticket as it really was nice to be some of the first people walking through. When we left around 8am there were a lot more people compared to when we walked through originally.
We really enjoyed our private tour with Eduardo. He was always responsive and made our visit to Machu Picchu so much better by sharing so much information. I would highly recommend his services.
Great service, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, it was our first time at Machu Picchu and we certainly would have missed out on so much without him.
Perfect guide. Really recommend.
Eduardo was an outstanding guide at Machu Picchu. This was by far one of the best experiences I have ever had with a tour guide. Not only did he expertly navigate the site and know all the best spots for amazing photos, but he also shared fascinating insights into the history, culture, and significance of Machu Picchu. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling brought the ancient city to life and made the visit truly unforgettable. Eduardo’s professionalism, passion, and attention to detail were exceptional. If you are visiting Machu Picchu, I highly recommend requesting him as your guide. He made an incredible experience even better.
Our experience in Machu Picchu with Edward was incredible. I can truly say that he brought the place to life. He was attentive from the very beginning of our contact and gave us peace of mind so we could easily meet at the station. Throughout our journey, he showed us the best spots for photos and was always kind and willing to help by taking videos and pictures for us. Having the experience of being guided by a history teacher, with all of his native knowledge, made us feel as if we were truly living in that era. Thank you, Edward, for all the experiences and teachings!
Eduardo was an excellent tour guide and historian at Macchu Picchu. He was also helpful with my questions about how to secure the entrance ticket. No regrets booking with Eduardo.
Great tour. Magical place. Edward gave us all the history and backstory to help us understand the significance of Machu Picchu and make this a wonderful experience. He is quite knowledgeable and speaks the local language (Quechua) along with English and Spanish. I would definitely recommend him as a tour guide.
I am so happy that I booked this very guide for my Machu Pichu visit. Edu showed us Machu Pichu as if it was his own home. He explained the story behind this extraordinary place with a passion I didn’t believe existed. You could see in his eyes that he loves his job, and he is a great story teller. He also knows that people want to take pictures and helped us a lot with showing us the right spots and took some pictures for us with high skills. There is no need to search for any other guide. Just contact him and book!
I wasn’t even planning on hiring a guide at first, but decided a couple days before and I’m so glad I did. Eduardo was incredibly flexible and easy to communicate with right from the start. He is extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does, which made the entire experience so much more meaningful. You can truly feel his connection to the history and culture. We felt that he’s one of the “chosen people” that he spoke about on the mountain. He’s now sharing his knowledge with the world which is so cool and inspiring. I can’t thank him enough for such a perfect experience. Highly recommend Eduardo to anyone looking for something special.
Our tour guide was fantastic! He met us at our hotel in the morning, he was able to share lots of Incan history with us while viewing the ruins, and his passion for that history was unmistakable throughout the tour. He came with laminated photos to explain building techniques and the importance of the shaping of the town, how it used to look, and the people who inhabited it. Finally, our guide took the tour at our pace, which was a bit slower than normal due to some heavy hiking we’d done earlier in the week.
Eduardo was our guide for Machu Picchu and he was fantastic! Professional, knowledgeable, passionate about Machu Picchu, engaging, humorous and interesting. We also learned so much about the Incan empire and culture. Eduardo truly helped make our Machu Picchu trip a memorable experience, one that we remember fondly for a lifetime. If you need a guide for Machu Picchu, hire Eduardo!!
We had an amazing experience! Would definitely recommend to everyone. Our guide was extremely knowledgable, and catered the tour to our needs. His English was perfect. He Let us have as long as we wanted at the top to admire the view and took great pictures! Would definitely recommend to everyone, and would not want to experience Machu Picchu without a guide. The trip was unforgettable.
Very helpful both on the tour and for help arranging travel and hotels on the way. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and we are very glad we decided to use this.
Great tour guide and company! Such a resource! Edwardo made the day smooth as he meet us at our hotel to head up to Machu Picchu. He was knowledgeable and passionate guide. We really enjoyed the morning with him and appreciated their help planning!
Firstly, we are a family of three. Jose met us at our hotel at 5:50am (as agreed since we had 7am MP entrance). He was very courteous and spoke great English. He walked us to a bus stop and told us at every step what is expected from us (multiple repetitive check points for passports and tickets). The tour was "supposed" to last for 2-2.5h, instead, the tour lasted for 3.5h !!!!!! WE LOVED IT!! Since the weather didn't serve us well the entire visit, Jose patiently waited at certain areas for the clouds to clear up so we could take nicer pictures (hence 3.5h tour). At no point he stood there silently! He engaged with us happily with various Inca anecdotes and folklore, history facts, and anything else that came to our mind we could ask. Even our son (9 years old) who was hoping for the tour to last for 10-15min (he thought he will be bored), was mesmerized by the site and Jose's knowledge in the subject matter. Having Jose next to us made our experience unforgettable. It was THE BEST DECISION we could've made during our visit to Maccu Picchu. It is definitively worth it!!!
Did Machu Picchu Route 2A with Edu and had a great time. He was very patient and knowledgeable, and explained the history and stories behind Machu Picchu in a way that was easy to follow and interesting. The tour felt well paced, never rushed, and Edu was always happy to answer questions. He also helped us take photos at the best spots, which was much appreciated, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the walk. Overall a really enjoyable and informative experience - would definitely recommend this tour and Edu as a guide.
If you are wondering who/what tour to go with, I’d highly recommend Edwardo!! He is extremely knowledgeable about Incan history and culture (being half Incan himself!). He was so nice and friendly, also had a great energy to him as well! He was also happy to take any and all photos for you! (For reference we did circuit 2 and it was perfect!). I’d happily and easily recommend Edwardo to anyone, as well as use him again in the future if the opportunity presented itself! Thanks again for a wonderful tour of an incredible place!!
Our family of 4 (2 teenagers) had Edwardo for a guide for 2 mornings. He was excellent! You have to have a guide at Machu Picchu if you want to know and appreciate all the history. I booked the guide and then messaged him about what circuits to do at what time each day. Edwardo picked us up at our hotel and walked us to the bus both mornings. He made navigating Machu Picchu stress free! Totally worth it. I would do exactly the same thing if I had to do it all over again.
We spent two days at Machu Picchu, the first day we hiked Machu Picchu Mountain and the second day we hiked Huayna Picchu in the morning and did a tour of the citadel in the afternoon.. We had the most amazing time with both of our tour guides , Jose and Eduardo . They were both wonderful, kept us safe and had a wealth of knowledge about Machu Picchu, Incan history, the Flora and fauna of the area and made the education fun!!! Pro tip, they are also both great photographers and know all the best locations for the most amazing pictures!!! I am so grateful we had them with us for these two days. They enhanced our experience at Machu Picchu tenfold. I highly recommend taking one of them with you on your adventure!!!
Excellent tour! Very informative! Spoke amazing English. Edu made sure we had all the required information prior to the tour, even supplied a necessary list to bring with us for the day. He picked us up at our hotel and helped us navigate the bus up to Machu Picchu. The tour was around 2 hours. He took so many photos for us and it was the perfect balance of information and free time. Would highly recommend doing this tour with Edu.
Booking Machupicchu Edu Tours was one of the best decisions we made on this trip. There are a lot of logistics involved in getting to Machu Picchu so we decided to book a private tour for 2 separate days - best decision ever! We were fortunate enough to have Edu as our guide both days. He was amazing! He met us at 5:00 am at our hotel for our Sunrise entry into Machu Picchu. It was wonderful to have such a knowledgeable guide lead us through each step. He walked with us to get our bus tickets to Machu Picchu, waited in line for the bus and rode with us. Arriving at MP, everyone seemed to know him and he guided us through the entry lines with ease. He also did the same on our second day when we booked a late afternoon entry to watch sunset. Inside this hidden city, Edu’s knowledge and love of the Inca civilization was truly magical. Not only did we learn about the Inca culture, we learned about the Inca philosophy, which opened our hearts to new ways of thinking. If you are going to Machu Picchu, book a private tour with them - it really is the only way to go!!!
Eduardo was excellent, very attentive and knowledgeable. He’s very passionate about his job. An amazing experience.
Ruth was very knowledgeable and picked us up at our hotel to guide us all the way to Machu Picchu. She was very patient and waited for the fog to clear up while sharing her knowledge about the Incas with us. She took photos of us and answered all our questions. The only little flaw was that she was 20 minutes late in picking us up in the morning. Despite the late departure we did make it on time to Machu Picchu.
We have a great time with Edu! He was so knowledgeable spoke English very well and provided a deep insight into the history of Machu Picchu! He took looks of pictures of us and knew exactly where we should stand. He stood in lines for us while we went to the bathroom everything was great! He waited for us while we were climbing up the stairs and shared his own pictures of other parts of the circuit we didn’t have access to. It was a great experience!
amazing guide who came prepared and with enthusiasm and a book with pictures- very friendly and knowledgeable
Great experience! Edu is super knowledgeable about the history of Machu Picchu and the Inca ruins. We are thankful he shared his knowledge with us! He took great pictures of us as well!
Had a private tour with Edward Salas. He was very kind and professional. He explained things in detail, took lot of photos. We never felt rushed. He met us at our hotel and walked us through every step - starting from getting into a bus, going through admission line at Machu Picchu to covering Circuit 2 in detail. We highly recommend using them for your Machu Picchu.
Our tour guide was fantastic! We ended up booking a private tour with him after he helped us find bus tickets that same morning. His rates were very fair, and I couldn’t recommend this experience more. We learned so much, saw incredible sights, and now have beautiful photos of my girlfriend and me to share with our families back home.
Getting to Machu Piccu can be challenging, but Edward made our experience as seamless as can be. He helped us navigate getting the correct tickets for entry, train, and bus. Once we were in (we did the panoramic track 1), Edward was a wealth of knowledge - he taught us so much about the history and significance of Machu Piccu within the context of Incan society and culture. He also took great pictures for us! Would 100% recommend this tour with Edward.
Edu was a great tour guide. Everything worked flawlessly. I would highly recommend this guide. He was super patient with my family and helped us get the most amazing pictures of Machu Picchu. We really enjoyed our time there.
We had an amazing time with Edward on this tour! He did a great job telling us all about the history of Machupicchu. You can tell he really enjoys his job and is enthusiastic about the topic. He always encouraged us to take our time looking at everything and getting the best pictures we could. Highly recommend this!! He even gave us more recommendations of things to do around the city before we had to leave. Incredible experience overall.
We had an amazing time at Machu Picchu with machupicchuedutours. In the months before we arrived in Peru, the communication was excellent and very prompt, with lots of good advice and helpful information. On the day of the tour, the pick-up arrangements and guidance were smooth and efficient. For our tour, we were guided by Ruth, who was an excellent guide. Her knowledge and enthusiasm really brought the history of Machu Picchu to life. She was very friendly and helpful, and took lots of time to take some great photos of us as we toured the site. If you are thinking of visiting Machu Picchu, I would definitely recommend machupicchuedutours.
Machu Picchu was amazing. Our tour guide Edward was so knowledgeable and very helpful with arrival from aguas calentines. Would definitely recommend taking your tour with Edward!!! Views were amazing and the history was so interesting.
Edwardo has been very diligent in getting us well prepared prior to our arrival. His guide has been unique. He went us through all the areas included in our booked circuit with patience by providing a thorough and quite descriptive overview of the site and the history behind it as well as the Inca civilization in general.
Robert ( or Juan) conducted a very comprehensive tour with excellent historical insights all along the tour. He is so knowledgeable and proud of the Inka heritage it was really enjoyable. Robert is extremely kind and humble and I highly recommend that you ask for him specifically.
The guide had excellent knowledge of the Incan culture and of Machu Picchu itself! He took excellent photos of us and moved at our pace!
Thank you Edu for the wonderful guiding at Machu Picchu! Before our trip to Machu Picchu we came in contact with Edu. He explained us everything about the tickets for the sacred mountain of Machu Picchu. We could not find tickets online anymore (6 weeks before the tour). We followed his advice and we were lucky to get tickets from the „Ministry of Culture“ in Aquas Calientes. We had to wait 3h on the day before but finally we got the extrem limited tickets to Machu Picchu. The day started early. Edu picked us up at the hotel on time - so we were up at the mountain at 8am. Edu guided us to the best views and he is like a Pro-Fotographer and made all the pictures with our phones for us. After a nice break on a quite place he explained us all about the history and the Inka culture. Edu is very educated in all those things. He had a answer to all our questions. Thx for everything Frank and Ulrike
Our tour guide, Edward Salas, was excellent! He was incredibly passionate while guiding us through Machu Picchu and had a deep knowledge of its history. His English was also excellent.
