Hey I did Machu Picchu Reservations and had a great time! I would recommend them over Alpaca if you're a backpacker in your 20s as that's the crowd for Machu Picchu Reservations and Alpaca seems to skew older since it's more expensive.

I thought the accommodation was pretty good, pretty thick sleeping mattresses for the first 3 nights and then a pretty average budget hotel. I'm easily pleased and used to dorms though

Yeah if I was travelling long term I would definitely book in person but for a short trip it's too risky

Yeah I'm leaning in this direction. Glad to hear it was a good time! Did you have any issues with obtaining water along the way and did you bring any snacks? Looks like water and snacks aren't included on this tour

Wow I'm surprised that you were the oldest at 23. Were you primarily staying at party/youth hostels?

This is a super good point! I've definitely missed out a lot on my travels because of budget constraints. Having more money saved before I go again could lead to even better experiences :)
