The Best Way to Explore Perú 🇵🇪

I can’t recommend this agency highly enough! They made our vacation in Peru an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, they stood out for their attentiveness, punctuality, excellent organization, and incredible coordination throughout the entire trip.I would especially like to mention our guide, Will, in Cusco. His professionalism, knowledge, and passion for history made every visit even more fascinating. We were amazed by all the interesting facts he shared about Inca culture, traditions, and the different archaeological sites. Having a guide like him made our experience much more enriching and allowed us to appreciate each place in a completely different way.I would also like to give a special thank you to Tania, Celestino, Jesus, Yusof, and Don Neri in Lima for their kindness, attention, and for making us feel so well taken care of throughout our trip.We traveled from Costa Rica, and we are taking home wonderful memories of Peru. Thank you to the entire team for making sure everything was so well organized and for treating us with such warmth and care.Without a doubt, an excellent agency for exploring Peru. We highly recommend them!Warm regards, Yuliana, from Costa Rica 🇨🇷❤️🇵🇪

Excellent experience

We had an outstanding experience with Taina at Machu Picchu. He was extremely professional, passionate and knowledgeable about Inca history, culture and the site itself. she adjusted the pace perfectly for our group, answered all our questions patiently, and made the whole tour fascinating and memorable. We couldn’t ask for a better guide and highly recommend him to everyone traveling to Machu Picchu.

Exceptional organization and clarity – great value!

Wow, what great service! I’ve been on many tours and few have had the clarity and communication skills that Tania and her team had. From the moment I reached out in interest to the end of the Machu Picchu excursion, Tania was exceptionally clear and helpful, making every step very easy to follow. Planning Machu Picchu on your own is *technically* possible, but it takes a tremendous amount of work to plan with a lot of unknown variables. Booking a tour with Machu Picchu Peru Travel makes it easy for not much more cost, and eases the anxiety of all the unknowns with the complex journey. It is truly a great value for travelers.Now if only I could have Tania organize the rest of life…! :)

It was simply magical Regarding tours and attention they were very puntual, organized and everything was on time! I send a huge shout out to the agency and every single guide that help us through our journey!

Highly Recommend! 100% Worth It

Machu Picchu Peru Travel – Super Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu 2D/1N TourI highly recommend booking with Machu Picchu Peru Travel for any of their tours. We did the Super Sacred Valley with Machu Picchu 2D/1N, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish.From the very beginning, their level of communication was top tier. Tania was fantastic, clear, quick, and informative even before we booked. She was patient, guided us through the process, and ensured we got the exact circuit we wanted 2B, making everything completely stress-free and well organised. When we arrived in Cusco, she personally met us at our hotel for a detailed briefing, which showed how much she genuinely cared about our experience and ensuring everything went smoothly.Pickup was always on time, and every effort was made to keep the tour running seamlessly. The Sacred Valley tour itself was very enjoyable, with a fluent English-speaking guide who made everything easy to understand and engaging. Later that evening, we boarded the train to Aguas Calientes, where we were met and guided to our hotel.That evening, our guide Ruth visited us for a briefing, she was humble, warm, and very professional. The next day, she accompanied us from the hotel to the bus and then up to Machu Picchu. Being a private tour made the experience feel very personal and insightful. Ruth shared a wealth of knowledge, took her time explaining everything, and even helped us capture some amazing photos.Overall, this tour was 100% worth it-excellent organisation, outstanding guides, and a truly stress-free way to experience Machu Picchu.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience – Highly Recommended!

We recently completed the 2-Day Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco with Machu Picchu Peru Travel, and it was one of the best-organized and most enjoyable tours we have ever experienced in Peru. From the very first contact to the final goodbye at our hotel, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for our experience. Communication was exceptional right from the start. The team was incredibly responsive on WhatsApp, answering all our questions promptly and patiently, even when we had last-minute requests and changes. Their quick replies gave us complete peace of mind as we planned our trip to Peru. The day before our tour, we received a detailed briefing (via WhatsApp and in person) that clearly explained the entire itinerary, what to expect, what to bring, and all the important timings. It was thorough and reassuring, which helped us feel fully prepared and relaxed. What impressed us most was how flexible and accommodating the team was. We had booked different panoramic train rides and specific circuits for Machu Picchu, and they seamlessly adjusted everything to match our preferences without any hassle. Their ability to handle these details smoothly showed just how experienced and client-focused they are. Our English-speaking tour guides were simply fantastic! They were not only extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and significance of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, but they were also genuinely friendly, patient, and enthusiastic. They went above and beyond by acting as personal photographers for our group—taking beautiful photos from all the best angles and even suggesting creative shots we would never have thought of. Thanks to them, we now have stunning memories captured perfectly. The entire tour ran like clockwork. The transportation was comfortable and safe, the pacing was ideal (never rushed, but never boring), and the contingency plans they had in place for weather, altitude, or any unexpected situations made us feel truly well taken care of. Everything was thought through so we could simply relax and enjoy the magic of the Sacred Valley and the wonder of Machu Picchu. If you’re planning a trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu, I cannot recommend Machu Picchu Peru Travel highly enough. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, flexible approach, and warm, professional guides made our 2-day Sacred Valley tour an unforgettable highlight of our Peru adventure. Thank you to the entire team—you made our dream trip even more special! We will definitely be booking with you again on our next visit to Peru. Highly recommended – 10/10!

Machu Picchu Peru travel arranged all of my solo travel to Peru, covering Cusco region (History/Culture, Humantay lake, Machu Picchu, Rainbow mountain) as well as Paracas, Huacachina & Nazca. The entire arrangement was seamless and last minute adjustments were accommodated as well. I recommend them.

We loved our Machu Picchu 1 day tour from Cusco. Our private tour was well planned and organized. Machu Picchu Peru Travel took care of all the details getting us to and from Machu Picchu. Our guide, Willy, was amazing. We really enjoyed having him as our guide.

Karlia Rivers

This was an absolutely amazing tour. Highly recommend, stop looking elsewhere and book this.

We had to squeeze Machu Picchu into the one day we had free on our trip. We flew into Cusco the night before and Tania arranged for an airport transfer. This was usd10 and we had the driver with our name on sign. Perfect and easy.

A colleague of Tania's then met us at the hotel to outline the tour the next day and give us our tickets. This was amazing and really appreciated the tips like what to wear, not to eat too much stodgy food due to altitude etc.

The tour was absolutely fantastic. A private car picked us up and took us the 1.5hours to the train station. He walked us to the train station entrance.

The train ride was awesome. We splurged foe the vistadome Observatory and it was so worth it to have the dancing and the band. Everyone in that train was up dancing and it was 9am 🤣.
Willy our guide met us at the end of the train ride and caught the bus with us to MP. He spoke English really well and was so knowledgeable. A+ guide.

MP was epic. We did circuit 4 as 1 and 2 were available (we booked quite late) and we got amazing pictures and learnt lots from Willy. It was an easy 2 hour walk too.

Back down on the bus to the town Willy took us to a restaurant and we invited him to have lunch with us. The restaurant had a great view of the river below and the food was yum!

We had a 4.45pm train and to be honest we wish we had picked an earlier train (say around 2pm). We were exhausted and the town is pretty small so not much to do for 2 hours.

The train ride back was again really fun with the band, some dancers and everyone up dancing again.

The private driver met us at the station and took us back to the hotel. We then flew out the next morning.

All in all an absolutely fantastic tour and tour company. Tania is the most responsive tour person I have ever come across. She was SO helpful and I can't say enough good words about her.

Thank you Tania, Willy and our driver Selistino. We had an amazing day and it will be in our memories forever

Tomamos tour privado recorriendo valle sagrado, machu picchu, montaña de colores entre otros. La atencion es super personalizada en todo momento. Tania es quien organiza todo y es un amor, super atenta todo el tiempo, Willy es el guia y se nota que ama lo que hace, Dany fue nuestro chofer para llegar en tiempo a todos lados. Tuvimos un problema con el paro de los trenes a machu picchu y el equipo nos soluciono todo en 10 minutos.
Willy el mejor fotografo! Siempre pendiente de que estuvieramos bien, sacandonos fotos siempre que queriamos.
Me voy con una hermosa impresion de Peru gracias a ellos que estuvieron siempre disponibles para respondernos todas las dudas. Fue un placer hacer los tours con ellos. 1000% recomendado!

We had a wonderful experience with Machu Picchu Peru Travel and their representative Tania as well as her staff. Everyone, from the drivers to the tour guide, were very prompt, friendly and professional. Tania met with us in our hotel the day prior to our tour to provide us with our tickets, a thorough explanation of the itinerary and recommendations for staying warm and dealing with altitude sickness. Truly top notch service! Liz, our tour guide, was such a sweetheart. Super patient as we took LOADS of pictures at Machu Picchu. Very informative tour. She even had lunch with us and escorted us back to the train terminal. Thank you Ladies for a one of kind experience 🫶🏾
