The guide came right to our hotel entrance and double checked we had our tickets on hand for the bus and entrance, as well as passport and face mask and face shield. He brought us to the bus with a group and we went up the mountain. Our guide did a particularly good job taking pictures for everyone and mentioning the best locations for pictures. It did seem like some of the other guides shared a bit more info than ours. Also, it is a bit of a hike even with the bus, because the entire tour is going up and down rocky steps for over 2 hours non-stop. Something to keep in mind if you are a little out of shape. Overall, incredible experience.

Roni was AMAZING! We were the only 2 on the tour so it was essentially a private tour to us! Roni was super patient when it came to us walking around and taking photos (he actually took 90% of them!) Roni was super knowledgeable and explained to us everything to be known about Machu Picchu! The entire tour was awesome from start to finish! I will say, you will not get any emails or information until the day prior to your tour so don’t be worried like we were! I highly recommend everyone book your tour here! Thank you again Roni!!

Super easy experience, from start to finish. The agency took care of our tickets for both the entrance and the bus to MP, and the guide met us at hotel in the morning and went with us on the bus, it was all laid out perfect for us, even though we booked short term (I think 4 days prior to arrival, as we were unsure if we were going to be able to go w/the ever changing covid restrictions). Everything can be done electronically (tickets), either through email or Whatsapp, and communication from the agency was great, the guide was awesome!
