I’ll focus on the tour and guide itself. We were greeted as we got off the train which was very nice. We were told we would be contacted the day before to coordinate which did not happen and it was a bit of a surprise to us that we actually had to be ready in Aguas Calientes. 1,5 hours before the set time on TripAdvisor. Luckily we had put a decent buffer in and made it on time. The guide knew a lot and had a ton of information, but it seemed like he had his focus on his prepared and practiced speech. He was great at taking photographs. He did not put a lot of effort into involving us and seemed to be rather busy finalizing the tour. In addition, we were recommended a restaurant after the tour where he was clearly paid or in some way sponsored to bring guests. Go your own way and explore the town! There’s plenty of great restaurants.

Our guide Hector was fantastic. He met us at our hotel and got us directly on the bus. He had all our tickets for the bus and entry to Machu Picchu so we did not have to worry about it. When we arrived at Machu Picchu it was very foggy and we could not see anything. But Hector was patient and let us wait until the fog cleared before moving us along on the tour so we could get the iconic view of the city. He also had great knowledge about Machu Picchu and the Inca culture. And he took great pictures and fun videos.

The guiding was adequate and felt a bit less detailed than other guides we had in Peru. We realized after that we had missed some opportunities to explore. Our guide seemed more focused on finding photo opportunities than on uncovering the site secrets. I had also approached the company about doing one of the walks (Inca Bridge or Sun gate) as an addition, but they were unwilling to help. I arranged this my self (much cheaper) and it was certainly easily doable on the same day, though we had some hanging around as I did not know how quick this tour would be. Tickets only came the day before, which was not helpful if you wanted printed copies. Machu Picchu also gets too many tourists, so best to avoid peak season if you can.

To get to Machu Picchu itself is a hassle but I am very happy we did the private tour. We went during high season so it was packed. Having our own tour guide made the process a lot easier. Lines for the bus up and down were insanely long and took around 30-45 minutes waiting (this was out of the tour companies control but just be aware). Our guide Frank Robert was excellent. He was our personal photographer, was very knowledgeable about the history, was patient when we were struggling up and down the stairs lol, and gifted us each an Inca necklace before we departed. He deserves a raise!

Marco was fantastic! Amazing orator about the history of Machu Picchu, and also great communicator all around. He really knows his stuff, and tells the stories in such an entertaining and vibrant passion. I did the 6am one and it was amazing! Hardly anyone around and got to experience Machu Picchu mostly to ourselves!
