MACHU PICCHU PRIVATE TOURS

Best Luxury Machu Picchu Private Tours & Trips

Machu Picchu Private Tours offer all-inclusive tour packages to the most iconic Inca citadel in Peru. Our custom private Machu Picchu Tours usually combine modern car and luxury train trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu town with a local tour guide by your side. But, other Machu Picchu Tours can get there hiking the famous Inca Trail and return by train. In both cases, this wonderful journey passes through the scenic landscapes of the Sacred valley of the Incas.

Our Private Machu Picchu Tours allow you to visit a place even the Spanish conquerors failed to find. The lost Inca city is 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Cusco, nestled between the Machu Picchu and Waynapicchu Mountains, with the Urubamba River below. These towering mountains provided natural protection for this royal estate. There is also a clear evidence that some mountains played a significant role in the belief system of ancient Incas.

The Machu Picchu Private Tours from Cusco show one the greatest Inca site in South America. Today, the Sanctuary of Machu Picchu is considered the most significant and intact cultural site built by the Incas. That is to say, Spanish never made their presence in the area perhaps because of its strategic location. The lost city of the Incas was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 and voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.

Best Memorable Trip Ever!! Our experience with Mapi Tour Peru was terrific, incredible and first rate. We worked with David to set up the tours and hikes of Sacred Valley, Pisaq, Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu, other Inca sites near Cusco, Rainbow Mountain and Lake Titicaca. Every part of our tour was well thought out and memorable from cocktails at the San Cristobal Church belltower our first evening to lunch at the Hacienda Huayocari to the private home tour in Ollantaytambo and boat tour to the Uros and Taquile islands. We visited Peru during the Winter Solstice which is a very special time of year with many celebrations and much dancing in the streets. The accommodations chosen for us were first rate. We especially loved the Casa Andina in Cusco. Our tour guide, Catalina was a gem. She was my inspiration to keep hiking up the tall and narrow mountains and was so knowledgeable of the history of where we visited. I can't give enough great affirmations for this company. They were great to work with. Written July 18, 2023

Perfect Trip to Cusco & Machu Picchu! We had a fantastic experience using Mapi Tour. I reached out to a number of tour guides to help me plan my 1 week vacation to Lima/Cusco/Machu Picchu. I number of them where located in the United States so they seemed more like middlemen, but after interacting with David I felt the most comfortable working with him as a local tour operator with years of experience leading tours in Cusco and Machu Picchu. My wife and I did a tour of Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and added Rainbow mountain whilst we were in Cusco. David and his team - Karen, Freddy, and Eloy were very professional, friendly and supportive to our needs in making sure we were worry-free about our tours. I truly recommend using local tour guides and David if you are planning a trip to Peru. Written August 15, 2023
