Welcome to Happy Gringo Tours

  We had fantastic Machu Picchu 1 day tour with Happy Gringos and our tour guide Mauro.

Everything was well organized, the pick up on time, the bus was clean,... read more and Machu Pucchu was beautiful place.

We highly recommend visiting Machu Picchu with Happy Gringo Tours!

Gracias Mauro :) (:

  Maoro our tour guide was incredible and made us feel like family - he is the reason our trip was fantastic.
We had booked to leave at 4am -... read more We only got word at 11pm the night before that our trip was actually not leaving until 8am. I was disappointed as we had cut our night short for the trip.
Very little communication with happy gringos, or what to expect on the day. our group was left to navigate the train journey ourselves - and when we got off the train there was no one there to meet us. We ended up waiting 2 hours to get the bus to macchu pichu and again had very little communication. Our train journey home was booked for the wrong day and so Maoro had to go and have that changed.
We got up to machu pichu after 3pm which actually was a nice time due to the fact there were less people around. It was as incredible as you think it would be.

As I said I was disappointed with the communication from Happy gringos and all the waiting around considering the price we paid, however we did have a great day in the end

  My husband and I did the short Incan trail with the most wonderful guide Joell. The length and difficulty level of the hike was perfect for anyone who wants to... read more really appreciate the magic of sacred valley and Machu Picchu at it’s fullest if you’re short on time or if you’re not totally sure about hiking and camping for the four/five day full Incan trail. Cannot say enough good things about Joell. It was sooo cool to see how much he loves that this is his job and how proud he is to show and teach people about his heritage, culture, and home. A Straight up wonderful experience

  Simply Amazing is all we can say. Marco from happy Gringo organised this so smoothly that we had no hassle or any kind of trouble. Mauro was our guide in... read more Machu Picchu and he really went above and beyond in making this a memorable and a lifetime experience.

  Wonderful tour to Machu Picchu!

We had a fantastic day with our tour guide Mauro. He was very informative, friendly and funny. He made the day with history of... read more Machu Picchu and Incas, after Machu Picchu we had a good food at Aquas Calientes.

Thanks Happy Gringo and Mauro!

  Incredible journey to Machu Picchu! We had problems to get Machu Picchu tickets but Happy Gringo did their best to get them. My family is very glad for contactingthem and... read more for showing us the Citadel of our dream. Ariana was very helpful replying the messages on time, the pickup and drop off in our hotel was great, the tour guide at Machu Picchu, Rubén. He was very knowledgeable who gave us the detailed history of the Inkas.

My family had great day and we highly recommend traveling with them.

  To start the tour started off very rocky. We were told to be ready at 4am. At 3am we started getting ready only to look at our emails and at... read more 10:30pm (while we were asleep early for the tour) they had messaged us that they would pick us up at 8:40am! Needless to say we were pretty upset. To top that off the tour guides were not easily found at our stops. Many tours had signs, but our group couldn’t find anyone. We had to reach out to the agency by phone several times. An hour later our guide showed up and we told him all our train tickets back that evening had the wrong date! The guide told us to stay and have lunch in Aguas Calientes while he went back to the train station to fix the problem. Although the trains were sold out, he was able to fix the tickets for the 10 of us. That was definitely a plus! But we were pretty rushed to get to Machu Picchu before it closed. We still got the 2 hour tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. But we had no time for leisure there. The whole day was rushed. On the bright side, Machu Picchu did not disappoint. It was stunning.

  We had a fantastic day trip from Cusco! The communication we had with Hannah was efficient, the pick up with the trasnfer was on time, the Voyager train was beautiful... read more with great panorámic views, and our tour guide Marco was knowledgeable. The weather at Machu Picchu was amazing - l and my wife want to thank the Happy Gringo team for all the support.

We strongly recommend Happy Gringo for Machu Picchu day trip!

  Although Machu Picchu was incredible, this tour company felt like a scam. They do not provide entrance tickets to Machu Picchu as advertised and me and the rest of... read more my cohort who had paid already $400 USD had to wait for 4+ hours starting at 4am in line at the office to see if they would release tickets to us. One of the girls in our group talked to the police and the officials said if the tour company had had tickets like they said, we would not have have had to be waiting in line. Then Marcos said he could provide ticket but it had to be "secret" and we had to basically bribe him with more money to give us our tickets although he already had them on his phone. When letting him know how unprofessional and uncomfortable I was, he became insulting saying I was unintelligent and ignorant of how things are done in Peru.

Eventually we did get to the top and the views were incredible, however, I would highly recommend going through a different company. These guys were a mess and the stress and annoyance of working with them was almost not worth it.

  Did this full day tour from Cusco with Mauro our guide. The hike was a bit challenging especially as we got closer and higher. The views are staggering and the... read more place is a true bliss.

  very unorganized, every single thing our guide explained to us about the details of the trip were wrong with what happened during the trip. machu picchu was a great sight... read more but the tour guide service was subpar at best. it felt very unprofessional for the price paid.

  Highly recommend this tour! Our guide Mauro was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, explaining lots of history and information and also allowing time for photos. He made the day extra... read more special by taking the group to lunch together to celebrate a visitor’s birthday.

  Beautiful views and so much history to learn about. Our guide Mauro was very friendly knowledgeable. Worth the price for this experience.

We had a super last minute booking and they were able to accommodate us very well and get us in a great tour.... read more Ruben took the best pictures of us and was very willing to keep our pace - even when we were slow he didn’t mind! We learned so much about the area and saw the beautiful sights.

  Had the best overnight trip to Machu Picchu. Accommodation, dinner and breakfast were included and were all great. Our tour guide Ruben was so friendly and informative. He really made... read more the experience so much better. Thank you Ruben!
