We did the Machu Picchu Private day tour and were not disappointed! Everything from pick up to drop off ran smoothly! Everyone from booking to the day of was helpful and professional! We opted to upgrade the train to the Vistadome and it was an awesome experience! Our tour guide at Machu Picchu, Beto, was amazing!! He was so knowledgeable and should pick up a second career as a tourist photographer! Our lunch in Aguas Calientes was delicious! If we ever come back to Peru, we will definitely be booking tours with Travel 1, and we are telling all our friends to do the same!!
This was certainly a FULL day tour, beginning before dawn and finishing up after dark. But the effort was certainly well-rewarded. Seeing Machu Picchu is an experience worth waiting a lifetime for. I feel like a different person than the one who started out this morning. Machu Picchu is that heavy.
The journey itself through the serene Peruvian countryside was very beaautiful. It was a long day, but thanks to Travel 1 everything went smoothly, without a hitch. I especially enjoyed the great lunch provided for us at Inkaterra Cafe.
Machu Picchu! I will never forget this experience. The site itself is so mystical but at the same time it is so well engineered and so practical that its canals, fountains, and acequias enabled the farming part of the town to receive irrigation water. With Travel 1 all of the logistics of our trip worked out perfectly. Their team was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
If I had to do it again, I probably would stay overnight in Aguas Calientes and return to the Sanctuary of Machu Picchu on the second day as there is so much to explore, all of it amazingly interesting.
De todos los lugares turísticos que visitamos en Sudamérica, definitivamente el viaje a Machu Picchu fue una de nuestras mejores experiencias. Viajamos a bordo de un tren turístico con grandes ventanas panorámicas. Visitamos todos los atractivos turísticos de este maravilloso santuario inca donde se puede observar la más fina arquitectura. Conocimos gente amable y muy servicial. Observamos paisajes espectaculares de los andes peruanos. Y disfrutamos de los mejores momentos de nuestras vacaciones.
Oh my God! Machu Picchu is beautiful beyond words. What a great experience!
The logistics of the trip were seamless. Not too much waiting around anywhere. Lunch was great. But the highlight of it all was Machu Picchu itself. How did they build this magnificent city? And the site that they chose to build it on would be mindblowing even if nothing was built there. I am about ready to go again,. Thank you, Travel 1!
