Privégids in Machupicchu van Aguas Calientes.

We booked this tour ahead of time and communicated via WhatsApp. Responses were timely. We met our guide, Edward Salas at the train station and he guided us to the bus office to pick up our tickets and then to the boarding area for the bus to Machu Picchu gate. It was all seamless and very helpful. Edward was fantastic. He imparted his knowledge of the Incan history and culture in a very clear way and used illustrations and pictures to help us understand. He also knew all the best spots to take pictures and took many nice photos of our family for us. You could tell he was also respected by other guides because many other guides seemed to know and greet him. We did circuit 2 and finished in about 2 hours and never felt rushed. He truly made the experience memorable for us. Not only for the figures we have but for the appreciation of the Incan culture he imparted to us.

We just finished a circuit two tour of Machu Picchu with Edwardo. It was one of best days of our lives. Edwardo is your man - request him! We purchased the private tour guide from Aguas Calientes (where we stayed to avoid the high altitude of Cusco). If you have any concerns about booking from the US or abroad, the logistics were seamless. There were multiple points of contact made before the trip, a woman met us right on time at our hotel, and walked and waited with us for the bus to the site. Edwardo met us right off the bus. He loaned us two soles each to use the only bathroom at the location bc we had not exchanged to local money. We made a self made error with our entrance ticket purchase (we chose to purchase on own and use the tour part only) and Edwardo calmly went completely out of his way to help us solve the issue. On the tour, he proved himself deeply knowledgeable and passionate about Incan history and culture and additionally knew every nook and cranny of the physical space. He conveyed the knowledge in virtually perfect English. We took as much time as we needed, in fact over 2.5 hours touring the place. He really unlocked the majesty and magic of Machu Picchu for us. On top of that, he helped us capture our day with amazing photos and video - even a rainbow! Do not hesitate for a second to use Edwardo for this once in a lifetime bucket list tour. Btw we overheard a couple of other tours and they just did not compare.
