Itinerary
1. Explore Machu Picchu with your own private tour guide and make every minute count. This service is perfect if you already have your train, bus, and entrance tickets and just want a friendly expert to bring the site to life. Meet your guide in Aguas Calientes (hotel or train station) or directly at the main gate of Machu Picchu. From town, you’ll take the 30-minute bus up to the citadel (bus and entry tickets are not included). Your guided visit lasts about 2–3 hours. You’ll walk through temples, royal sectors, terraces, and the best viewpoints while your guide shares clear, simple stories about Inca history and daily life. We recommend booking Circuit 2 for the most complete route; if it’s sold out, Circuit 3 is next best, followed by Circuit 1. Because this is a private tour, you set the pace. Want more time for photos, questions, or a quiet moment to take it all in? Just ask. Your guide will tailor the visit to you and make your time at Machu Picchu easy and unforgettable.
