The most amazing experience ever! The ride on the vistadome train was absolutely spectacular, worth absolutely every penny and the tour of Machu Picchu was magical. Joel, our tour guide, made the experience so much better by sharing his thorough knowledge of the Inka culture, pacing the rhythm of the visit to make it enjoyable for everyone and to top it off, the weather was perfect that day. I could not recommend this tour more. Thank you!

Be prepared for a long day (2:50am-7:10pm). Traffic and train delays probably account for 90 minutes of that, but.... it was all still worth it. Circuit 2 gave me a great view of everything, 2.5 hours inside MachuPicchu flew by. I had so much extra time after MP before my scheduled train, in hindsight I wished I also climbed WaynaPicchu (the mountain behind MP)

I didn’t do my proper research for my travel prior, but they really helped ensure I was able to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity. My tour guide also was a champ and helped upgrade my ticket to the 1-2 circuits (best views by the way). My only gripe which isn’t much was that I wasn’t dropped off at my hostel at the end of the day like I thought was included.
