Perfect service and price! Our guide Elvis was very kind, funny and knowledgable! Would recommend to anyone!

All was great!

Comfortable accommodation, well organised and great guides! Machu Picchu is breathtaking!

Fun times at Machu Picchu

LOVED this. It was my partner and I's first time in Peru and this was definitely the highlight! We also opted for the additional trek (you need to pay a bit more) and it was so worth it.

Great value

We think this tour is definitely worth it! The train ride was incredible and we loved the view of the mountains. Aguas Calientes was such a pretty little town and we loved walking around. The next day, we took a bus to Machu Picchu and it was incredible! The guide knew everything there was to know about the site and it was nice to have free time to walk around. Booking the tour was also very easy and Bamba Experience was very professional.

Everything went great

I thought this tour was very well run - it was great that we were picked up from our accommodation! It's a great option if you want to see Machu Picchu but don't have enough time for doing a long hike there. Our guide, Elvis, was awesome.

Highly Recommended

The views were incredible and our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable! We felt really well taken care of by Bamba and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.
