  • 5Great experience

    Wally was a wonderful tour guide. Ultimately it ended up being a private tour and it was a great experience. Additionally, given I booked my trip to Peru quite late, the company was able to secure my Machu Picchu ticket despite everything being sold out. Would highly recommend this trip to other travelers

  • 5Worth it !!

    Domingo was an excellent guide from pick up to drop off. I’m still trying to learn Spanish but his English was great so there was no issue with communicating. I felt safe with him everywhere and he is also very informative, I learned alot about each destination and Peruvian history during this experience. The overnight hotel was also an excellent choice. Overall I would definitely recommend this tour to other people and I think it was worth the cost as I had a great time and got excellent pictures that I was hoping for !!

  • 5Machu pichhu and sacred valley by train trip

    Sandro was an outstanding guide for our Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley 2-day tour. He navigated us through every site with clear, insightful information that brought the history and culture to life, and the whole trip was planned and executed seamlessly. Beyond his knowledge, Sandro was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout, making the experience genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend this package to anyone looking to explore the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with a guide who truly knows the region.

  • 5Unforgettable and perfectly organized! Highly recommend Machupicchu CN Expeditions

    As a female solo traveler, I was a bit nervous about booking a trip to Machu Picchu with all the logistics involved, but Machupicchu CN Expeditions made me feel completely safe, welcomed, and taken care of from day one. The 2-day tour is absolutely the best way to do it. Right from the start, Liz from operations was incredible, staying in touch throughout the entire journey and making sure everything was running smoothly. The transport through the Sacred Valley was fantastic—we traveled in a super comfortable and modern Hyundai Staria, and the atmosphere with the other passengers was so friendly and pleasant. Our driver, Carlos, was excellent and made the ride very smooth. The absolute highlight was my guide, Mario, at Machu Picchu. He was wonderful, so knowledgeable, and incredibly sweet—he constantly offered to take amazing photos of me since I was traveling alone, and he navigated the circuits perfectly so I could enjoy the views without feeling rushed. Spending the night in Aguas Calientes allowed me to enter the citadel fresh the next morning during the best early shifts. If you are a solo traveler looking for a stress-free, premium, and deeply friendly experience, do not hesitate to book with them. Thank you Liz, Mario, and Carlos for making my trip so unforgettable!

About Cusco

Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.

The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
