“We had a FANTASTIC day! Our guide, William, did make sure that our experience of Machu Picchu was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable, professional and it really felt he liked his job. We will forever be thankful to William for this lifetime experience. The entire day was very well organized. It is a long ride from Cusco to the train station and then almost two hours to the village connecting the railway to Machu Picchu. But the train ride is very beautiful and when in the village you’ll have a very good three course lunch before the guiding of the Machu Picchu. We are very satisfied with this activity.”

Expect very early starts, the first day is an all-day trek which is of moderate difficulty I would say, culminating in reaching the "sun gate" and an incredible view of Machu Picchu. The second day is an in-depth tour of the site itself and a very fancy train trip back, with a fashion show! Worth every penny.”

We then got on our train and we’re told to meet another guide at the other side which we did not know the name of. Once we got off the train our guide was nowhere to be seen so we spent ages walking around confused as to where they were. Then about 15 minutes later they appeared. We are then given our bus tickets to Machu Picchu from this new guide who then leaves once they have given you the tickets. You are told to…”

We were surprised to find out that our Machu Picchu tickets were set for 8am, when we wouldn’t even arrive to Aguas Calientes on our train until 8:20, plus the 30 minute bus ride to the top. We ended up getting to the top by about 9 or so after waiting for bus…”
