Machu Picchu Tour Guide: Group in Spanish or Private in English
From €74 per group
See availability →A Machu Picchu tour guide who meets you in Aguas Calientes: a group visit in Spanish or a private one in English, about two and a half hours with a local guide.
The day begins on the main plaza in Aguas Calientes, where the group gathers before heading to the bus station. A Machu Picchu tour guide then rides with you for the 30-minute trip to the main entrance, and there is time for the restrooms before you go in.
Inside, the guided tour lasts about two and a half hours at an unhurried pace, with plenty of stops for photos and for the story of the Inca people who lived here, told by a certified local guide. At the end the guide says goodbye and the bus takes you back to Aguas Calientes. Two formats exist:
- a guided group service in Spanish
- a private guided service in English
If you sleep in Aguas Calientes the night before, the guide can meet you at your hotel for a short introduction ahead of the tour. If you arrive the same day, the support staff greets you at the train station or in the main square. The Machu Picchu entrance ticket is not included, so book it separately. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.
