Private Machu Picchu Tour with Free Time after the Guide
From €178 per person
See availability →A private Machu Picchu tour from Aguas Calientes with a guide of your own, the bus up and down and the entry ticket. After the explanations you get free time in the ruins before returning.
On this private Machu Picchu tour with the bus included, the day starts with a pickup in Aguas Calientes, either at your hotel or at the train station if you arrive that same day. A one-day-ahead briefing is offered if you get to town early.
The official bus climbs to the sanctuary in roughly 30 to 40 minutes, with Andean scenery all the way. You enter the site with your ticket, for the circuit and entry time chosen at booking, and your private guide takes it from there. The guided part lasts about two and a half to three hours, and the route can be shaped around what interests you, so there is room for questions and for lingering where you like.
- Temples, terraced hillsides and plazas, with their history explained
- Temple of the Sun and Temple of the Three Windows
- The best viewpoints, where the guide helps with photos, and the resident llamas
When the explanations end, you are free to explore at your own pace and take extra pictures before the bus carries you back to Aguas Calientes, where the service ends. The guide works in the language you select. Tips are optional, and the train ticket and lunch are not included. Support is available at any hour after you book.
