Machu Picchu Private Tour Guide, Upper Terrace Photo
From €40 per person
See availability →A Machu Picchu private tour guide who briefs you at the hotel the day before, rides up with you and ends at the upper terrace for the classic photo of the citadel.
With a Machu Picchu private tour guide, the visit starts the day before: a briefing at your hotel covers what to expect, so you know what to expect. You then set off from the plaza in the town below, from your hotel or from the guide's meeting point.
From there you take a bus, a scenic ride of about 25 minutes, to the gate. Inside, an official guide leads you through the citadel and explains its history and culture, pointing out places such as the Temple of the Three Windows and the Temple of the Sun.
The walk finishes at the upper terrace, where you take the classic photograph of Machu Picchu. Allow between one and a half and three hours in all, a blend of history, culture and wide views.
