“This was obviously going to be the highlight of our trip. We were fortunate enough to book well in advance and received Circuit 2.

Review of a full-day Machu Picchu tour from Cusco with train, park entry, buses, guide, hotel pickup, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Our tour guide, Philipe, was wonderful. The climb to the top of Machu Picchu is steep and we were very slow. Philipe gracefully stopped at numerous spots to tell us about the plants and animals while giving us time to breathe. The only reason I’m giving the overall tour a four rather than a five is because the transportation was a bit confusing. We didn’t meet our guide until we arrived at Aguas Calientes, four hours after we departed the hotel. Navigating the train station and bus pickup locations in the dark, without help, made us a bit nervous. Apart from that, however, we loved the tour and would recommend…”
