The citadel is visited on an early admission ticket with a private guide; for the rest of the week the listing names live professional guides without specifying a language.

What the escorted tour to Machu Picchu Peru covers
Seven days from Lima to the citadel, from $974 per adult, rated ★ 4.6 across 245 reviews. This escorted tour to Machu Picchu Peru begins at Lima International Airport and stays escorted from there: live professional guides, all transfers from airports, hotels and the railway station, admission tickets to the attractions on the included tours, breakfast and lunch, and Voyager train tickets for the leg into Aguas Calientes. Groups run up to 15 people.
The part that shapes the whole week is the early admission to Machu Picchu with a private guide. Entry happens at the exact hour printed on the ticket, and tickets are nominal: your full name and ID or passport number appear on them, with no name change and no date change afterwards. Having the operator handle those details, the train seats and the shuttle in one chain is the practical argument for the format.
The order of the week also handles altitude. Lima sits on the coast, Cusco at 3,399 m, and the citadel itself at 2,340 m, lower than the city you sleep in beforehand, so the Cusco and Sacred Valley days do the acclimatising before the train. Budget air fares separately: the Lima-Cusco-Lima domestic flight is not in the price, nor are international flights, food and drinks beyond the stated meals, or gratuities.
