Itinerary
Explore Machu Picchu with your own private tour guide and make every minute count. This service is great if you have your train, bus, and entrance tickets. You just need a friendly expert to help you enjoy the site. Meet your guide in Aguas Calientes (hotel or train station) or directly at the main gate of Machu Picchu. From the 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 areas, and terraces. You'll also see great viewpoints. Your guide'll share clear & simple stories about Inca history and daily life. We suggest booking Circuit 2 for the best route. If it’s sold out, choose Circuit 3 next. Circuit 1 is the last option. 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.

About Sacred Valley
The Sacred Valley is the Urubamba River valley in the Peruvian Andes, a fertile corridor of Inca terraces, fortress towns and markets near Cusco.
The Sacred Valley follows the Urubamba River, also called the Vilcanota, through the Andes north-west of Cusco. It lies lower than the city, so the air is warmer and the land greener. The Incas farmed the valley intensively, and stone-walled terraces still climb its hillsides. Villages such as Pisac, Urubamba and Ollantaytambo lie along the river, with snow peaks above.
