Peruways’ private Machu Picchu tours are the top of our range — a bespoke, no-sharing itinerary with a private vehicle in Cusco, a private guide at the citadel, and whatever schedule you want to run.
Private vehicle, private guide
Private transfer to Ollantaytambo, Vistadome or Hiram Bingham train, Consettur bus up from Aguas Calientes, and a licensed Peruvian guide who follows your pace, not a bus schedule. Spend an extra half hour at the Temple of the Sun. Skip the parts you’ve seen in books. Change plans at breakfast.
Access the standard tours miss
Our private guides can route you through the full three-circuit system, time your morning for the mist lifting off the terraces, and bring you back for a second day if the first was clouded in. Add Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain if the permits are available.
Comfort and pacing
Hiram Bingham train (lounge car, five-course meal, Andean music on the return). Belmond Sanctuary Lodge or Inkaterra at the citadel. Pisco sours on the terrace. The itinerary slows down where you want it to.
Fully customisable
Add a Sacred Valley day with Pisac, Moray and Maras. Combine with Rainbow Mountain or the Humantay lake hike. Build in a rest day. Our planners work from your dates backwards.
Why private
Private pricing is three to four times a shared tour, but it stops being an abstraction once you are standing at the Intihuatana stone with a licensed historian who isn’t checking their watch. For couples celebrating something, or multi-generation families where the pace matters, it is the right call.
