    Super recommended experience

    We stayed only three days in Cuzco and thanks to this super complete tour we could absolutely see it. Visiting Machu Picchu is a dream that is why nothing can be left to chance, they organize every detail, we want to thank Ronald the guide who made the visit to Machupicchu because he really gave us magical and unsurpassed attention, put soul and heart and helped us in everything, and also Rayza who only spoke on WhatsApp is the one who coordinated everything and always super available and resolute 24 hours. I recommend it in closed eyes, especially as it includes tickets train hotel is also a super option according to the price, if you take everything separately in the end it costs more and you risk not seeing so many things

    The best tour!

    We did the 5 day tour. On day 1 we went to Chinchero, Moray, the salt mines then Ollantaytambo. Then we were dropped off at the train station to board for Aguas Calientes. On the second day we arrived early to Machu Picchu and were able to get some amazing pictures. The entire trip was a success. Both of our tour guides, Efrain and Edwin, made sure we got plenty of pictures and the best spots. I would strongly recommend Fly Cusco. Jhordy went above and beyond with helping us. Without his help our trip wouldn’t have been the same. Thank you so much

    Worth it!! 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train

    This trip was amazing!! Viator and Fly Cusco plan the best experience.. Effie our guide and driver were very knowledgeable and caring I was attitude challenged and feeling poorly and they worked me through out the day. I had them stop twice because I was sick. He took me to a pharmacy and we got anti nausea and Tylenol and electrolytes. At each event was informative. Then the train ride was beautiful Viadome and comfortable. Tea and cookies served or cocktail’s. Hotel was clean comfortable and staff attentive. I am feeling 1000 times better. Breakfast was very good. Then 615 am with Luis Chaves -for the highlight Machu Picchu. Words and photos don’t do it justice. Seventh wonder of the world. Wow, book your tour .

    The best agency made our experience in Peru unforgettable

    We had a fabulous experience, as well as our agent Jordi helped us a lot with our Machupichu tickets and with all the logistics. Victor our guide was very kind and very knowledgeable and taught us, apart from beautiful places, a lot of culture and history of all the places visited. You have to know the sacred valley and Machupichu not to mention, I will recommend it to my friends when they come with Fly Cusco100%.

    2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How much does 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train cost?

    +

    Prices start at $382 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

    Is 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cusco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cusco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train?

    +

    Included: Transfer from Ollantaytambo station to your hotel in Cusco (day 2); Stop at the panoramic viewpoint of Cusco (White Christ) (optional); Round trip bus tickets (Aguas Calientes - Machu Picchu - Aguas Calientes); 01 water bottle; and Train tickets - round trip selected (Ollantaytambo - Aguas Calientes - Ollantaytambo).

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train?

    +

    Is 2-Day Tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train wheelchair or stroller accessible?
