        A seamless AND well-organized Machu Picchu tour
        If you’re looking for a stress-free way to visit Machu Picchu in one day, this is the tour for you! Our driver Albert picked us up at 4 AM from our hotel in Cusco and drove us to Ollantaytambo station, where we took the Expedition train to Aguas Calientes. The scenery along the way was beautiful , and the train ride was super comfortable. Our guide Manuel was waiting for us in Aguas Calientes, and after a short break, we took the bus up to Machu Picchu. I had seen countless photos before, but nothing compared to actually being there. Manuel took us through every important site, from the Inca terraces to the Temple of the Condor, making the history come alive. If you want an authentic, immersive experience, book this tour!

        The Dream Come True One-Day Machu Picchu Tour
        Visiting Machu Picchu in just one day from Cusco sounded impossible, but this tour made it effortless and unforgettable. We were picked up by our driver early in the morning from our hotel in Cusco and taken to Ollantaytambo station, where we boarded a scenic train through the Sacred Valley. The panoramic views of the Andes were breathtaking! Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, our guide ruben was waiting to take us up to Machu Picchu, where we spent hours exploring the ancient ruins, the Temple of the Sun, and the famous terraces. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing the history and significance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour was perfectly timed, giving us enough time to enjoy the views and take incredible pictures. The return journey was seamless, and we arrived back in Cusco by evening.

        Visiting machu picchu was amazing
        I had an amazing day exploring Machu Picchu, thanks to the fantastic service! Door-to-door transport made everything so easy, and our driver, Luis, was super friendly and professional. But the highlight was our guide,Elvis Julio Cesar—he was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience truly magical. Aguas Calientes was the perfect end to a perfect day. Highly recommend this team for an unforgettable adventure!

        An Unforgettable Journey Through Peru
        My visit to Machu Picchu, Pisac, and Ollantaytambo with our guide, Julio, was absolutely incredible. Julio made the trip unforgettable – his knowledge, kindness, and passion for Peru’s history brought every site to life. Pisac’s ruins and market were stunning, Ollantaytambo’s terraces left me speechless, and Machu Picchu? Pure magic. Standing there felt like stepping into another world. The Vistadome train ride was the perfect touch – the views were breathtaking, and the journey itself was so comfortable. Everything about this trip felt seamless and special. Peru is a place that stays with you. The culture, the people, the landscapes – it’s all so vibrant and alive. I loved every moment and am already planning to bring my family back next year. If you’re thinking about visiting Peru, just go. It’s unforgettable. Thank you, Julio, for making this trip so amazing. You’re the best guide out there, and I can’t wait to return! Peru, you’ve stolen my heart.

        Exactly Designed Tour with a Superior Guide!
        Clearly the best tour provider we have seen is Elvis Adventures. Our guide, Ruben, was simply outstanding. He told stories, offered historical analysis, and included fascinating facts to vividly depict the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu for us. Beyond amazing, we got to see Machu Picchu at dawn. Every stop on the well planned schedule was flawless and free of worry. Particularly on our private return to the hotel, the transportation was first-rate. Beyond everything things, Elvis Adventures made sure this was a first-rate occasion we would live a lifetime remembering! All things considered, our trip with this tour agency was remarkable and much above our expectations. We strongly advise anyone seeking a first-rate tour provider in Peru.

        This vacation was exactly what I wanted - a combination of adventure, leisure, and cultural immersion. Elvis Adventures really delivered; everything is well planned so we could just focus on enjoying the journey. Julio, our guide, was excellent - knowledgeable, friendly, and great to be around!

        Sacred Valley Inn, Machu Picchu tour
        The views were amazing. I took so many photos. Julio a.k.a. Elvis is a great guide. I had so much fun visiting the sacred Valley and all of its attractions. The salt mines were amazing. Machu Picchu was an experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend like human Thai, although it’s a very difficult hike. This is one of the greatest tours I’ve ever been on in my life.

        A Flawless Trip to Machu Picchu and sacred valley
        Our journey to Machu Picchu was first-rate from top to bottom. The guide Elvis made sure we were at ease and shared with us tons of Cusco insider knowledge we would have missed otherwise. Before ever boarding the train, it felt as though one had a personal escort! The whole process proceeded flawlessly; anxiety was absent; only pure delight prevailed. We appreciated your focus on every detail, which sets this trip apart from others we have traveled on. Highly recommended this for everyone looking for the flawless, stress-free adventure Machu Picchu offers and of course pisac and ollantaytambo , all was beautiful and excellent and our friendly guide Elvis made this journey unique. Thoroughly recommended.

        Unforgettable Journey to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley
        I can’t say enough positive things about this tour. Julio Cesar, my guide, was excellent and kept everything intriguing and well-paced. Albert, the driver, was very friendly and made sure we had a smooth ride. The sights, especially pisac and ollantaytambo were absolutely beautiful. The train ride to Aguas Calientes was relaxing, and seeing Machu Picchu the next day was magical! "Perfect 2-Day Tour with Excellent Service" Julio Cesar and Albert made this tour one to remember! Julio was so knowledgeable, and his passion for Incan history really shone through. It is evident that he loves what he does and guides with his heart. Albert drove us safely from stop to stop, and we enjoyed every bit of the Sacred Valley, especially the fascinating ruins at Ollantaytambo. This was a well-organized and enjoyable way to experience the best of the region in just two days. Elvis Adventures is the only tour and guide service I will ever use and will suggest to anyone who asks for recommendations.

        The perfect machu picchu adventure
        It would have been impossible to arrange our trip to Machu Picchu better! Pick-up was timely; the van was comfortable and immaculate. With lots of knowledge about the area, our guide Elvis made the drive entertaining and educational. We had enough time to savor every stop, and riding the train to Aguas Calientes was like a fantasy. The hotel we stayed at was in a perfect spot, near anything we could possibly need. The Machu Picchu trip itself was the highlight; the guide was first-rate and guaranteed enough time for pictures and site appreciation. Back to Cusco, the train travel was fantastic! flawless experience right from start to finish.

        an unforgettable journey through the sacred valley and machu picchu
        I cannot adequately describe how wonderful this trip was! Everything went perfectly from the time they took me up at my Cusco hotel to seeing the stunning Sacred Valley. Julio, our guide, made the trip very unique and was quite informed. Dreaming of staying in Aguas Calientes was one thing; waking up at morning to tour Machu Picchu was unforgettable. I really suggest this as the ideal approach to see Peru's highlights! The journey exceeded our expectations.

      Thanks Elvis for such a remarkable experience on this tour to Rainbow Mountain from Cusco. The company and the crew were exceptionally nice and handled the whole trip well. They offered us breakfast and lunch as a part of the package. The hike was a bit challenging but well worth the effort with the staggering views of Andean communities. Elvis was our guide and he patiently explained many things about the traditions and customs. It was a perfect full day trek. Not sure if it was because were there at the right time, the sight of the Rainbow Mountain was perfect and we got to see all colours.
