A great Machu Picchu private guide experience

I booked a private tour for MACHU PICCHU. My guide Samuel picked me up from my hotel and accompanied me to take the bus to Machu Picchu. It was very beautiful in the morning with mist surrounding the mountain and then all cleared up and sunny. I really liked that my guide helped me took a lot of nice photos and videos.

Amazing Machu Picchu

I had an amazing experience. Machu Picchu truly is an amazing, once in a lifetime experience. Samuel, our guide, also was really nice. He was calm, stopped at the right moments and clearly had a lot of knowledge about the place. For me personally, he was perfect that way. The length of the tour was good in my opinion, although i would've loved to have stayed longer at the place. The only tip I would have is a little clearer guidelines on the pick-up in the morning. Me, and the group, were unsure if we could get breakfast at the hotel, which eventually we were definitely able to.

wonderful time at a modern wonderful!

We had a fantastic one day trip to Machu Picchu with Trexperience. From our initial email to the visit itself we felt very looked after and we're kept well informed. Our guide Samuel was exceptional and really made the day. He was knowledgeable, funny and took amazing pictures. It was unfortunately very misty and rainy on our trip but despite that Samuel made it incredibly enjoyable, knowing when the mist would clear and all the places for a great photo. All and all a brilliant experience and we'll be booking with Trexperience and requesting Samuel as our guide should we ever make it back to Peru.
