With Lisandro as our guide we spent almost 3 hours on Circuito 2 in Machu Picchu. What an incredible sight of this old site blending in with the impressive scenery. Aguas Calientes is a massive tourist hell, but a necessity to get to your reward at MP

Une agence a fuir au regard de la qualité des service, de l’absence de communication et surtout de l’absence de ponctualité et de sécurité

Je ne recommande pas cette agence qui n’est pas sérieuse. N’annonce pas tous les frais et surtout ne donne aucune information pour le retour. Elle n’a jamais rien voulu savoir et a mis notre parole en doute En retard à l’aller et en retard au retour A fuir

Lisandro took us around Machu Picchu on a private tour. We were just with 2 persons and him as the guide. Liked it very much, being private. Easier to listen to the things he tells us than being in a group. He told lots of information and knew all the right places for the perfect photo. Unfortunately not the best weather, but we had a great time!
