Would it be possible to be picked up from Cusco on the 30th of November and join the tour on 1st of December?

Yes, it's absolutely possible to travel to Aguas Calientes a day earlier to acclimatize. We can arrange your train ticket from Cusco (or Ollantaytambo) to Aguas Calientes on November 30th, and you would join the group tour to Machu Picchu on December 1st, or we can add an extra day and night and you can join the tour on Decembe 2nd.

Could I make my flight leaving Cuzco airport at 8:30 PM with this tour? Is it possible to board the train early after touring Machu Picchu?

Unfortunately, all of December is sold out entry tickets to Machu Picchu. Tour includes transportation back to Cusco with estimated arrival time at 7:00 pm, which should work with your 8:30 PM flight.

The tour in general was it really worth especially since we have seen the place Winaywayna.

Very good organised 2 day tour to Sacred valley & Machu Picchu, everything was clear and in time. Knowledgeable, professional guides. Wanted to say special thank you to our guide Eddie Puma and the team who were not only high professionals but also were very responsive when we encountered a personal issue with a forgotten bag, they worked hard and managed to get our bag back to a different city before our flight in just a few hours Thank you so much guys, best luck in what you do!

The two day Machu Picchu tour was amazing! My friends and I had such an amazing experience as the trip was well coordinated. Our guide Katie was phenomenal, and did such an awesome job making us feel at ease and incorporating so much history and her own personal history through the trek. The porters and chef were rockstars despite being short staffed and we had delicious meals and a very comfortable camping experience despite the weather! So many logistics to coordinate four our group of four and they really knocked it out of the park. A bonus for us was how well our guide paced us throughout the hike. No matter your physical level trek experience will ensure you have a good time! I’d recommend Tour to anyone, especially if Katie is your guideShow more

Amazing experience overall. The trekking is pristine, with great care and preparing taking place. Having said that, our experience would not have been half as good if not for the wonderful Cati, our guide. Her attention and care were unmatched, her disposition and happiness contagious, and she definitely showed us the best time possible. If not for the great trek, I would do it again just for her.Show more

This was such a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I was traveling with a group of 4 and decided on the 2-day Shirt Inca Trail tour which was well worth it. The booking process was very simple and communication was very clear from the beginning. The experience of hiking the trail itself was so amazing but the support staff, specifically our guide Katie, made it an experience to remember. The drivers were very prompt, the chefs cooked us amazing meals, the porters transported our belongings to our camp. Our guide Katie not only led us along the trail, she shared her culture with us, explained the importance of the sites we trekked through, and spoke about the ecological, historical, and archeological aspects along the way. Katie had such a warm and uplifting energy about her and went out of her way to make sure our group was prepared and comfortable. I couldn’t recommend this tour more and if at all possible would suggest requesting Katie as your guide.Show more

We had an amazing time. Our guide Katie was very helpful and insightful throughout, and the crew kept us well fed and even accommodated a vegan diet as well as others. We saw all sorts of plant life with insanely breathtaking views pretty much the entire time during the trek, and in addition to Machu Picchu you also get to see several other Inca sites. Overall 10/10 experience that I will never forget.Show more
