“Nos cambiaron algunas cosas del tour, no había espectáculo a caballo, y la cena show tenía horario de regreso a las 10 por lo que estuvimos 1 hora solamente y no alcanzamos a ver todo el show. La guía Roxana nos acompañó solo en las fuentes de agua y es un parque que se puede visitar solo no hay explicaciones anexas pero muy entretenido ella y los lugares. Precio calidad malo, mejor hacerlo por cuenta propia, la movilización de barranco hacia Miraflores es buena hasta por lo menos 11 pm. Peña candelaria y circuito aguas mágicas (de las fuentes) muy bueno pero se puede hacer solo sin tour”

15.Machu Picchu Entry Ticket and Bus from Aguas Calientes

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 8 reviews · 1 day · from $119

You travel from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu by included air-conditioned bus, enter with a reserved Ministry of Culture ticket, and explore on your own for about two to two and a half hours. No guide is included, so you set the pace. Bring your passport, arrive at the bus queue one hour early, and confirm your entry circuit and time before paying.

“I don’t recommend this service. All they provide is purchasing your Machu Picchu entrance and your bus tickets but don’t provide any physical services. For this you are charged double the price that it would cost to do yourself. I only purchased this service as I thought my date was sold out, but the tickets for my date had not been released yet. Additionally the communication was a bit poor and we only got our bus tickets late in the evening before we were going up.”
