Edoardo made out experience unforgettable
I booked the private tour a few months in advance, and just reading the reviews really convinced me to choose this service. The reviews certainly did not lie. Edoardo was incredible from start to finish. I was constantly asking him questions before our tour, and he answered all my doubts with detailed responses in a timely manner, which I truly appreciated. I felt well-prepared for the tour. The way Edoardo explained the history of Machu Picchu made the experience even more special and memorable for us. You could tell he was very knowledgeable and passionate about this subject, and he told us the story with so much enthusiasm. It was like stepping back in time. He picked us up on time and dropped us off at the entrance of Wayna Picchu. I can't imagine having done this without Edoardo guiding us. I highly recommend him.

The best!
So glad that we did Macchu Picchu with Edward guiding us round, we had a private tour and Edward had great information and knowledge for every single bit as well as making the tour good fun showing us photos either historically or ones which he has taken himself. Not only was he a fantastic tour guide but also a great photographer, willing to take as many photos of us as we were wanting, making sure we could keep the memories from our visit to Macchu Picchu. I highly recommend anyone going up Macchu Picchu to book Edward as their guide, he was great and all at a great price! Thank you very much Edward for our tour!

Machu Picchu with Eduardo
Eduardo is a fantastic guide. He was in touch with us even before the tour through Whatsapp. He explained all the things about Machu Picchu, brief history of the place and Incas very well. He was very patient, answered all questions and clicked awesome pictures. Loved the visit!

Excellent and amazing guide… Eduardo is the best.
Excellent!! Many thanks to Eduardo for providing us with such an amazing tour of Machu Picchu. He was so informative, thoughtful and patient. He spent a lot of time explaining the history of the Inca’s and allowing us ample time for photos, plus is a great photographer. I really can’t say enough to express our gratitude for such an amazing guide. Thank you again for taking care of us and showing us the beauty of Machu Picchu. Until next time!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour Guide in Machupicchu from Aguas Calientes.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sacred Valley.
How much does Private Tour Guide in Machupicchu from Aguas Calientes. cost?
+
Prices start at $106 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 Tour Guide in Machupicchu from Aguas Calientes. take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Tour Guide in Machupicchu from Aguas Calientes. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 45 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour Guide in Machupicchu from Aguas Calientes.?
+
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 Tour Guide in Machupicchu from Aguas Calientes. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour Guide in Machupicchu from Aguas Calientes.?
+
Around 16 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour Guide in Machupicchu from Aguas Calientes. 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 From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch, Private Professional Guide in Machu Picchu from Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu 2Day Tour by Train from Cusco with Overnight Stay. 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.
