From €142 per person
See availability →A private Machu Picchu Circuit 2 tour with a certified guide and the entry ticket included, for travellers who like to plan ahead and walk the ruins at their own pace.
A private Machu Picchu Circuit 2 tour packs the entry ticket and a certified guide into one booking, which suits travellers who plan well ahead and already have trains, hotels and transfers sorted. You choose between Circuit 2 and Circuit 3B when you book, and the 2027 early-entry option depends on official availability.
Your guide waits at a spot arranged beforehand, in Aguas Calientes itself or close to the gate, depending on your entry time. From there you walk to the citadel and follow Classic Circuit 2, a popular route for the main archaeological areas and the classic views. Along the way the guide talks you through:
- Inca history, architecture and the agricultural terraces
- Ceremonial spaces and engineering techniques
- The cultural importance of Machu Picchu
The visit takes about three to four hours. As the tour is private, you can ask what you like, set the pace and stop at the designated viewpoints for photographs of the mountains and the citadel. Guiding is in English or Spanish.
Entry rules, circuits and time slots are set by the Peruvian authorities, so your circuit and entry time depend on official availability for your date. The bus between Aguas Calientes and the site, train tickets, transport from Cusco or Ollantaytambo, hotel pick-up, meals and tips are not included.
