I highly recommend booking this tour! We were lucky enough to see Macchu Picchu with only booking a week in advance. If I were to book this again, I would book at least a month or more in advance. Our tour guide told us that they only allow a certain amount of people per day and do not sell tickets the day of. We went to the 5 a.m tour, which bypassed all the afternoon crowds so we were able to get great pictures! Also, it was nice the tour guide picked us up at our hotel.

We loved our guide! He worked well with our group, making sure to take care of two older women who had some walking issues and trouble keeping up. He worked well to accommodate us all without making anyone feel left out. My only complaint is that we HAD to print out our bus and entrance tickets. We weren't given the option to do this until we had already arrived in Peru, and from being out of the country, we felt somewhat stuck. It left us scrambling last minute to try to find a place in Cusco that would print our tickets. Our AirBnb told us of an internet cafe near us but their printer wasn't working. Luckily we were all members of Marriott and were able to use theirs as a last minute idea. Ideally, guests should be given the option to download the file to their phone which would be accessible without internet as well since a lot of people traveling are also without service. All in all, we loved out trip to Peru and Machu Picchu was one of the main highlights!

We had a great time with our guide, Joel. He was very accommodating by picking us up at our hotel in Aguas Calientes, helping us navigate the bus ride, and showing us around Machu Picchu, giving detailed history of the area and the Incas. Joel answered all our questions and even took pictures for us.
