We were in a private car for the sacred valley part of the trip so didn’t have to deal with groups. On the bus trip, there were designated stops and the towns were very small and with a group of 15 we had more than enough time at each stop...some could have been shorter. At Lake Titicaca, the restaurant was on an island and in my opinion there was ample time to walk around before the show and boarding the boat. It really depends on your definition of what ample time is.

Hi Kylie, As the other reviewer mentioned, we booked through Machu Picchu Latin America. As far as I know the specific multi-day tour advertised here is exactly as it is described and I don't know that there are two different options unless you talk to them and specify what you would like. The dates are guaranteed. You do have the option of a home stay, but you have to let them know ahead of time. I would definitely contact the company, I communicated with Freddi, who is really nice and he can help you plan out your trip exactly how you want it. We upgraded many things and included/excluded some things as well. They are very accommodating and yes, you do end up with other groups, but the company does EVERYTHING for you, all you have to do is follow their directions : ) Have a great trip!

If you booked through Machu Picchu Latin America, the hotels they put you in, will let you keep it there until you are back.

Hello, the way to upgrade the hotel and dome train, including other things that they offer, is by contacting them (I tried to type their email address, but the system wouldn't let me, please try to look around on their description for the tour, it is there, that's how I found it. Their company name is Machu Picchu Latin America) We specifically talked to Fredi for everything from beginning to end and he is great. Upgrade costs vary depending on what you would like, 4 or 5 star hotels, I'd suggest to contact them. They do offer some of the upgrades available to pay later, but I am not sure which ones exactly, sorry. I hope this helps. Have a great trip! It's amazing!

We bought the trip thru Viator: "Best of Peru 6-Day Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour". Fredi was the first person that contacted us before we arrived in Cusco. There were different travel agents for every each step and everything was perfectly planed, organized and on time.

Hello. It was about 12 people total on the tour. We were all in one big van.
