An Amazing Trip to Machu Picchu - From the very start, this tour gave us peace of mind. We were picked up right on time from our hotel in Cusco, and from there, everything ran smoothly. The train ride to Aguas Calientes was super comfortable and offered incredible views of the landscape. Everything was so well-coordinated that we could just relax and enjoy the journey. Once we arrived in Aguas Calientes, our guide greeted us warmly and took us straight to the bus that heads up to Machu Picchu. At the site, the guided tour was really informative—we learned a lot about Inca history and the fascinating architecture of the ruins. The guide was friendly, clear, and kept a great pace throughout the visit. After the tour, we had some free time to explore on our own, which was the perfect way to wrap up the day. The trip back to Cusco was just as smooth. We felt well taken care of the entire time. If you want to experience Machu Picchu without any stress, this tour is definitely the way to go!

Machu Picchu: a magical and unforgettable experience - A truly magical experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the start, everything was very well organized: the transfers, the tickets, and the guide's accompaniment. What made this experience so special was the combination of a stunning natural setting with the living history of a fascinating civilization. The professionalism of the staff was outstanding. The guide was very punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable about Inca history. He passionately and clearly explained every corner of the citadel, making the tour enriching and exciting. He also always paid attention to the group, adapting to each person's pace. This tour is suitable for various groups. I traveled with older guests and some families with children, and everyone was able to enjoy it without any problems thanks to the accessible pace and the staff's support at all times.

Beautiful thermal baths - Nice place, the price of domestic entrance is 10 suns, foreign 20 suns; there are pools with water temperature 34 °C, 36 °C, 37 °C. You enter the pool area only with swimwear; if you did not wear swimwear, before entering the thermal baths rent swimwear: average rental price of sandals at 3 suns, short 5 suns and lady swimwear 10 suns. Whether inside, before or after a bath, you can head towards the waterfall which is approximately 10 min uphill. Regarding accessibility, there is no wheelchair access; there are many bleachers.
