    machu pichu circuit 3 B

    Gregory was our guide for circuit 3B. One of his affiliates picked us up at our hotel in Aguas Calientes and helped us board the bus to Machu Picchu, and Gregory met us at the bus station near the entrance. He explained Inca history and the history of Machu Picchu in great detail and took great pictures and videos of our family. We would have missed a lot of important details if we didn't have a guide to explore. Well worth it. He was probably one of the best guides we had during our trip to Peru. Thank you, Gregory!

    Gregory an excellent tour guide of Machu Pitchu

    5/5 Stars – An Unforgettable Private Tour with Gregory! My husband and I booked a 3-hour private tour of Machu Picchu Circuit 2A in August 2026, and Gregory was an absolutely fantastic guide! From the very beginning, his English was excellent, making communication through WhatsApp effortless. He turned our walk through the Inca citadel into an incredible, deeply engaging history lesson about Machu Picchu. We paid $70 for the tour, and it was worth every single penny. Beyond his extensive historical knowledge, Gregory acted as our personal photographer. He knew exactly where to stop for the best angles and spots to take pictures, capturing beautiful memories for us. We had an amazing experience and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Machu Picchu!

    knowledgeable, thoughtful, and patient

    Gregory is a very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and patient guide. Many of the things we learned from him elevated our experience not just at Machu Picchu but also later in Cusco. He also made a special effort to communicate with a family member who is hard of hearing.

    A Wonderful Machu Picchu Experience with Greg

    Greg was an amazing guide and truly made our Machu Picchu experience special. He was punctual, arriving at our hotel exactly on time, and from the very beginning he was friendly, professional, and attentive. He shared fascinating stories and interesting historical details about Machu Picchu, making the visit much more meaningful and memorable. He also took some beautiful photos of us, which we will treasure as wonderful memories of this trip. We really enjoyed our time with Greg and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Machu Picchu!

    Excellent Machu Picchu Guide – Informative, Patient & Great Photographer

    Our guide Gregory at Machu Picchu was excellent. He had great knowledge of the site and provided interesting and detailed information throughout Circuit 3B. He was also very helpful with taking photos and videos and knew some great spots for getting the best shots. We never felt rushed or hurried along, and he took the time to answer all of our questions. He was friendly, patient, and very informative. We had a great experience and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Machu Picchu.

    Private Guide and Photographs in MachuPicchu: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sacred Valley.

    How much does Private Guide and Photographs in MachuPicchu cost?

    +

    Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sacred Valley usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Guide and Photographs in MachuPicchu take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sacred Valley is not rushed.

    Is Private Guide and Photographs in MachuPicchu worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 66 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Guide and Photographs in MachuPicchu?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Guide and Photographs in MachuPicchu suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Guide and Photographs in MachuPicchu?

    +

    Around 23 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sacred Valley can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sacred Valley and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Guide and Photographs in MachuPicchu start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sacred Valley within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sacred Valley?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sacred Valley experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco ( with Pisac), From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch, Machu Picchu Guided Tour from Aguas Calientes. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sacred Valley?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sacred Valley?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
