Our pick up was at 03.30. we got to Agues Calientes at about 08.15. Our guide spoke to us and told us to meet back at 09.15! he turned up at 09.36 why would he bother to be on time! We then got the bus up to Macchu Picchu and arrived there at about 10.15 to be told our tour started at 11.00 nearly 3 hours after we arrived. Get there early to avoid the crowds. No get there early to sit about. Not even worth one star for the tour. Value for money zero. Find some alternative to this tour it is a total rip off.
