This Machu Picchu small group tour keeps the party to a maximum of five travelers, so the guide can talk to each person and answer questions along the way. Your certified local guide greets you in Aguas Calientes, at the hotel or on arrival at the station, and together you head up to the citadel by the scenic bus, on the options that include it.
The walk follows Circuit 2, the classic route, and takes around two hours. Each circuit gives its own mix of viewpoints and archaeological sites, so the stops depend on the ticket option you pick when booking.
- Your entry ticket, for the circuit and time slot you book
- The bus up and down, on the options that include it
- A guide who speaks English or Spanish
- Advice on trains and transport before the day
The classic route is the one to choose if you want well-known panoramic views of the ruins with a guide to explain what you are looking at. You pay separately for the train, food and drink, and accommodation. If you would rather have the guide to yourself, a private version of the tour is also offered. Tickets run short, so booking ahead helps you get the circuit you prefer.
