Private Machu Picchu Tour with a Local Guide, Sun and Moon
From €74 per group
See availability →A private Machu Picchu tour with a local guide, about three hours around the Sun and Moon temples, without sharing your guide with a crowd of strangers.
This private Machu Picchu tour with a local guide puts the citadel at your own pace. After the bus ride up from Aguas Calientes and check-in at the gate, your guide is only with your party as you walk into the Inca city and start reading its stonework.
The visit lasts about three hours and centres on the architecture and culture of the Inca citadel. Among the places you will stop at:
- Temple of the Sun
- Temple of the Moon
- Temple of the Three Windows
Because the group is private, you can ask questions as they come up and linger where you want. Once the guided part is over you get free time to explore on your own, then take the bus back down to Aguas Calientes. Later in the afternoon you catch the train home to Cusco. If you pick the Vistadome Panoramic train option, the ride ends with Andean music and entertainment on board.
The booking covers the local guide and the private tour. The round-trip train between Cusco and Aguas Calientes, the bus to the site, the citadel ticket and any meals and drinks are arranged separately.
