The best guide on Machu Picchu - Jorge was an absolutely top notch guide from start to finish. Excellent communication before the trip, promptly met us at our hostel to help us buy bus tickets and the provided us with surely the most comprehensive tour that is available at Machu Picchu. He told us the history and painted the story of Machu Picchu with wonderful flow, charisma and at the perfect pace for our needs. He was full of energy and answered all of our questions and even gave us a great lunch recommendation and joined us for lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Jorge and he provided absolute value for money. Thank you so much Jorge and hasta pronto!

Great experience - Jorge was our tour guide for our trip to Machu Picchu. He was great, had so much information and was able to answer any questions I had. He also recommended a great spot for us to get lunch once our tour ended.

Very Knowledgeable Tour Guide with Insanely Good Photo Skills - Jorge met up with me at Aguas Calientes, and from there he took care of everything from paperwork to arranging the bus up to Machu Picchu, so the entire admin process felt very stress-free. As a solo traveller and someone with a strong interest in history and culture, I truly appreciated how he explained everything at just the right pace with so much knowledge, and he is very fluent in English too. Most importantly, his photo taking skill is super bueno, I mean just look at these gorgeous pictures. ป.ล. ถ้าคุณอ่านข้อความนี้ออก เชื่อผมเถอะว่าฮอร์เฮคือเดอะเบสท์ทัวร์ไกด์สำหรับมาชูปิกชู คุณสมบัติตามที่เล่าไว้ข้างต้นเลยครับ

Wonderful and well organized tour! - My husband was hiking the Inca Trail and I just wanted to do a day trip to Machu Picchu. I'm very glad that I chose this Viator tour. There were 5 other individuals on the tour and I quickly became part of the group. Jorge was an extraordinary guide. He was very knowledgeble and took great care of us by answering all our questions and getting us where we needed to be when we needed to be there. I highly recommend!

Unforgettable Experiences - Truly appreciate the tour operator Jimmy, their driver and the tour guide Jorge! We had an issue with the flight schedule, but they were so helpful and managed with our plan. Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy Machu Pichu tour, which is one of my bucket list, all the way from Japan! Not only the tour but also the restaurants they recommended were all good too. We are so glad to make this happened and recommend to my Japanese friends as well for sure :))

Great Experience - There appeared to be a bit of miscommunication at first, but the customer service had been very responsive and helpful with it, and everything went well as planned. The guide, Jorge, is also very helpful and friendly while also providing valuable knowledge and giving us an unforgettable experience at Machu Picchu. We did circuit 3B since 2A was sold out already, and the bus tickets were already included. Overall, great experience.

Beautiful - We had a great time exploring the beautiful ancient city of Machu Picchu! There was a bit of a snafu with the tickets at the counter, but our tour guide handled it and we were able to see everything we wanted. Reach out ahead of time if you want tickets for a specific route because they go fast. Have passport information for all guests ready ahead of time and you can get the route you want.

Comprehensive experience of Machu Pichu - My wife and I did the tour with Jorge. He met us the previous night at our hotel, answered any questions we had and was very helpful. He helped us get bus tickets to Machu Pichu and told us about the immense history of the place as we explored the site. 11/10, I definitely recommend going with Jorge for a tour of Machu Pichu
