Hi ---
We've done two of the My Way trips in France and Italy and starting to research Machu PIcchu. Any recommendations for companies for this area?

We did Machu Picchu in 2019 as well as Cuzco and the Sacred Valley. It was on a tour with PeruAgency.com
The tour was four days and excellent our guide/drivers had university educations and very knowledgeable. The price was great.
Prior to that we did some days in Lima and took some tours of the city.
My Son and some of his friends did Peru on a Gate 1 Travel tour that included Lima, what we did on the Cuzco/MP tour, also a visit to the Amazon river basin and more in the south of the country as well. They liked their tour.

We used Peru Summit Adventures to visit Machu Picchu last year and had a really great experience. We travelled independently around Peru for a week (Lima, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu, and Cuzco) and used Peru Summit Adventures just for the guide around the site itself. If you are feeling up for it, definitely look into climbing Wayna Picchu as well for amazing views of Machu Picchu (it's the big mountain behind the site that you see in photographs). You have to buy a separate entrance ticket for that one and they sell out even faster than the tickets for the main site.

I got lazy when planning our Peru trip and we went with Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT). We had a great time and will probably use OAT again for less accessible places as we get older.

We did MP through Mountain Lodges of Peru. We did just the hiking tour with them and the rest of Peru on our own. But they also offer other travel planning services. A great way to experience MP, great guides, great stays and great food. We recommended to other friends for a few years later and they also had a wonderful experience.
