I booked the private tour a few months in advance, and just reading the reviews really convinced me to choose this service. The reviews certainly did not lie. Edoardo was incredible from start to finish. I was constantly asking him questions before our tour, and he answered all my doubts with detailed responses in a timely manner, which I truly appreciated. I felt well-prepared for the tour. The way Edoardo explained the history of Machu Picchu made the experience even more special and memorable for us. You could tell he was very knowledgeable and passionate about this subject, and he told us the story with so much enthusiasm. It was like stepping back in time. He picked us up on time and dropped us off at the entrance of Wayna Picchu. I can't imagine having done this without Edoardo guiding us. I highly recommend him.

Eduardo was so great! He gave us all the important info about the site’s history and Inca cosmovision. He was lovely and super engaging — we learned so much. Thanks!! Highly recommend
So glad that we did Macchu Picchu with Edward guiding us round, we had a private tour and Edward had great information and knowledge for every single bit as well as making the tour good fun showing us photos either historically or ones which he has taken himself. Not only was he a fantastic tour guide but also a great photographer, willing to take as many photos of us as we were wanting, making sure we could keep the memories from our visit to Macchu Picchu. I highly recommend anyone going up Macchu Picchu to book Edward as their guide, he was great and all at a great price! Thank you very much Edward for our tour!
Eduardo is a fantastic guide. He was in touch with us even before the tour through Whatsapp. He explained all the things about Machu Picchu, brief history of the place and Incas very well. He was very patient, answered all questions and clicked awesome pictures. Loved the visit!
Excellent!! Many thanks to Eduardo for providing us with such an amazing tour of Machu Picchu. He was so informative, thoughtful and patient. He spent a lot of time explaining the history of the Inca’s and allowing us ample time for photos, plus is a great photographer. I really can’t say enough to express our gratitude for such an amazing guide. Thank you again for taking care of us and showing us the beauty of Machu Picchu. Until next time!
Eduardo was great and the communication was perfect with help getting from our hotel to the bus and then greeting us as we got off. Eduardo shared his wealth of knowledge and always with a smile and patiently answered our questions. He took extra care with one of our group that had some mobility issues. Request Eduardo when you are making your reservation.
Edward is an excellent guide, he was very helpful and come to our hotel to pick up us. We contacted him the afternoon before and he arranged everything fast. Good communication 👍👍👍
We weren’t sure if we would hire a guide for Machu Picchu but are so glad we did. We met Edward in line for the bus in Aquas Calientes. He approached us about a tour and was not pushy. We agreed on a price and he took the bus up with us. Once in, he was very informative and patient as we wanted to take lots of photos. He was positive and seemed to know many people we passed along the way. Thank you Edward for a great tour!
Edwardo was great. He arranged for someone to meet us at the hotel and get us on the bus. He was waiting at the citadel. One of our group needed some extra attention due to some balance issues and Edwardo was right there to help and adjust our tour to accommodate all of us. He shared personal stories and experiences and gave a great history of Macu Picchu, and always with a smile.
Edu is a fantastic guide and generally just a very fun & engaging human to be around! He is deeply knowledgeable about Incan history & told me more than I could ever remember about Machu Picchu. I really enjoyed my private tour, and Edu’s presence & insights added so much to my experience of the sacred city. Highly recommend him if you’re in need of a guide for any of your Cusco and/or Machu Picchu adventures!
Edu is a fabulous guide. He was on time, provided a lot of information. Answered all of our questions and took amazing photos for us. An amazing experience. Our visit to Machu Picchu wouldn’t have been so informative without him!
We booked this tour ahead of time and communicated via WhatsApp. Responses were timely. We met our guide, Edward Salas at the train station and he guided us to the bus office to pick up our tickets and then to the boarding area for the bus to Machu Picchu gate. It was all seamless and very helpful. Edward was fantastic. He imparted his knowledge of the Incan history and culture in a very clear way and used illustrations and pictures to help us understand. He also knew all the best spots to take pictures and took many nice photos of our family for us. You could tell he was also respected by other guides because many other guides seemed to know and greet him. We did circuit 2 and finished in about 2 hours and never felt rushed. He truly made the experience memorable for us. Not only for the figures we have but for the appreciation of the Incan culture he imparted to us.
We just finished a circuit two tour of Machu Picchu with Edwardo. It was one of best days of our lives. Edwardo is your man - request him! We purchased the private tour guide from Aguas Calientes (where we stayed to avoid the high altitude of Cusco). If you have any concerns about booking from the US or abroad, the logistics were seamless. There were multiple points of contact made before the trip, a woman met us right on time at our hotel, and walked and waited with us for the bus to the site. Edwardo met us right off the bus. He loaned us two soles each to use the only bathroom at the location bc we had not exchanged to local money. We made a self made error with our entrance ticket purchase (we chose to purchase on own and use the tour part only) and Edwardo calmly went completely out of his way to help us solve the issue. On the tour, he proved himself deeply knowledgeable and passionate about Incan history and culture and additionally knew every nook and cranny of the physical space. He conveyed the knowledge in virtually perfect English. We took as much time as we needed, in fact over 2.5 hours touring the place. He really unlocked the majesty and magic of Machu Picchu for us. On top of that, he helped us capture our day with amazing photos and video - even a rainbow! Do not hesitate for a second to use Edwardo for this once in a lifetime bucket list tour. Btw we overheard a couple of other tours and they just did not compare.
On our way to the bus we ran into Eduardo and we are so thankful we did! He has an excellent understanding of the archeological site. He took amazing professional pictures. He was extremely patient and able to answer any questions we had. You can tell he has a deep appreciation for the site and is eager to share it with tourists. He carries a booklet with infographics to help breakdown concepts he introduces. I would recommend Eduardo to anyone that is going to Machu pichu. He speaks Spanish English and Portuguese. 10/10 recommend!!!
Our guide Eduardo was a top notch guide, very friendly as extremely knowledgeable. He was extremely helpful to us seniors. His communication in English was impeccable. He helped us take pictures at the most scenic sites. We loved his passion for the Inca culture and history.
Edu was just the best guide ever! He was so nice and attentive! He helped us a lot before the tour and then we had a really funny and interesting two hours with him! He even asked if we got out safe and made sure everything was ok! I can only recommend everyone to do the tour as I absolutely enjoyed it!
Excellent tour. Communication with Edward is good from the moment of booking. Edward gives tips how to prepare best for the trip. Perfectly on time on the day of the tour. Edward tells a lot nice stories in an engaging way. Edward asks regularly for your camera to make pictures. He knows all the good photo spots and makes some creatives ones. He is a real nice and kind guy. Would definetely recommend if you visit Machu Picchu. It will entich your experience.
Our guide, Edu, was amazing! Very informative and took the time to stop and explain, in detail, all the history and interesting facts of Machu Picchu. His English was very good, and he made our experience extra memorable with his photo taking skills! Highly recommend!
Machu Picchu was truly fantastic and a real must visit. But what made our trip more wonderful was our A1 Numero Uno Guide, Edward Sales. From the time I texted Edward inquiring about the trip I knew I have found my guide and the instant he picked as up at our hotel, I knew we were in good hands. Edward is a truly dedicated professional with a very in-depth knowledge of Machu Picchu made even more so by making his own research and experiments. Yes, that is the right word as he would attend the site's Solstice Events to prove his theories. Edward also has the eye for getting his guests get the shortest and quickest underused line at the entrance. Edward was able to get us in the best vantage area to take Machu Picchu pictures reserved only to very, very few tour guides. I booked with Inca Traveller as I found their rates much, much competitive and the best in the market.
We went through circuit 3 (Machu picchu + another small montain beside). Wilbert was a very friendly, joyful and passionate guide about history, also keen to take awesome photos to leave good souvenir. Definitely recommend!
Edward Salas did an excellent job. We were certainly lucky to have found a great and very knowledgeable guide like him. He exceeded my expectations.
We had Jose as our tour guide, and really enjoyed out time with him. He was patient, fun and informative. So glad we met him!
Wilbert was a phenomenal tour guide. Expertise, patience, picture taking and great timing. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience
We had Nancy as the tour guide for our family trip to Machu Picchu. We had an amazing experience. Nancy was very professional and knowledgeable and she helped us a lot through out this trip. She provided us with specific information from the area making our trip easier and more enjoyable. We appreciate her assistance and we highly recommend her services.
Edward was a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and knew the best locations for photos. Seeing Machu Picchu for the first time was amazing.
We had a very interesting and infomative tour with Eduard who explained us Machu Picchu in detail, the Inka culture, their religion and philosophy. We had the feeling that we now understand Macchu Picchu much better. We can only recommend Eduard as an excellent and very friendly tourguide through this fascinating world wunder.
We had a fantastic private tour with Edward in Machu Picchu. We were met at our hotel in MP Pueblo and Edward took us to the bus ticket sales location, then onto the bus. We took Route 2 through the site and noticed that some tour guides took their clients through a shorter version. Edward was very informative and knowledgeable about the site. We also overheard some of the other guides while walking around, our experience was definitely better! We had a second visit planned for the next day through circuit 4 and hike of WaynaPicchu, Edward helped by showing us how to get to the access by ourselves. Definitely recommend a tour with Edward and a tour in general. The info you get from a guided tour is worth the cost.
Eduardo did a good job and explained a lot of things about the Inca time . His English was clear and he had a great time at Machu Picchu !
Edward is such a nice, friendly and patient guide. He is very passionate and tells a lot about the Machu Picchu. Also he knows all the perfect spots for pictures and keeps on taking pictures for you!!! Views were amazing.
From explaining the details of the places to taking a lot of pics, our experience was very memorable. Very punctual, patience, and well experienced guide to book.
Good passionated guide with a lot of knowledge he shared with us about the history. Showed nice and beautiful photo spots on the site and took the time.
I booked a private tour,as a solo traveller, for the early entrance at Machu Picchu. Everything was amazing, Ed was perfectly on time for the pickup. Helped me with getting the bus tickets, and once inside the archeological site has given me a thorough explanation of the different sectors. Also accompanied me on the Wayna Picchu hike. Very professional and carrying the knowledge of the Andean culture has made this experience perfect! Also helped me with the pictures! Many many thanks. Tupananchiskama 🙏
We just returned from a private guided tour in Machu Picchu with Edward. It was fantastic! On beforehand I had quite some practical questions, but Edward responded quickly, in good English, via whatsapp, with clear explanations. On the day itself all what was agreed on beforehand was done exactly as said. Exactly on time for pickup at our hotel, explanations on the way up to the citadel and then the tour in the citadel. Edward went to all important places, without taking shortcuts as we saw other guides doing. He gave extensive information about history of the site, he is clearly passionate about his job, and made sure we saw everything without rushing. He also made a huge amount of pictures. We can only recommend this guide very very much!
What a wonderful tour! Edward is a fantastic guide with incredible knowledge. It is very clear that he is passionate about his work. We have been very lucky to see Machu Picchu with him.
Unforgettable day at Machu Picchu From beginning to end Edward has been with us and explaining all the history to us perfectly The perfect guide for this experience 100% recommended
We did the tour with our friend Edward very friendly, concerned, good photographer Excellent guide to tell the story of machupicchu, recommended👏👏
Today I did the trial tour with Nancy departing from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu. Nancy is a wonderful guide, very caring and competent. She explained to me all the hostility of the Incas and Machu Picchu. It also guided me on other tours in Cusco. She welcomed me at the train station yesterday and took me to my hotel. He came to pick me up early today. I got all the attention from the world. I highly recommend that you invite Nancy for her walk in Machu Picchu. I assure you that Mrs. Perfect! Gracias Nancy!
Nancy accompanied from hot waters and throughout the tour by machupichu, the historical and cultural information was very complete.
Nancy is the best thing that happened to us in Peru. Expeditious, cordial, with plenty of knowledge and excellent photographer. Excellent all the guide by Machu Pichu.
The guide Edu is perfect!!A sympathy of person , very attentive, told us the whole story of Machupicchu with details and with pride of his descendants!!! I highly recommend his services!!!
Nancy welcomed us very well and was a wonderful guide. We were 6 people and she was super attentive and helpful. I highly recommend the company Inca Traveler.
Meeting Nancy was a gift from Pachamama. She is very careful with the entire group and knows a lot about Inca history, I couldn't have a better guide. Tupananchis cama (see you later). Thank you so much.
Our visit to Cusco would not have been the same without Nancy's company and guide. She told us the story in a unique way and was a great photographer.
I recommend Edu as a guide, professional, punctual, I learned a lot from him about the history of Machu Picchu and the region in general!
It was an incredible tour! Edward is an excellent guide, with extensive knowledge about Machu Picchu (including the weather conditions for the best time to take photos!). In addition to passing on historical information about the place, he took photos and videos of our group, he was very attentive and kind. Congratulations on the work and thank you! I certainly recommend your tour!
The guide very concerned that it is our best experience. We took amazing pictures. 100% recommended, they will learn and enjoy at the same time.
Our guide was excellent (private tour in Portuguese). He was waiting for us on schedule, gave us information about the whole city with great clarity and is still an excellent photographer.
