Zero professionalism and many unfulfilled promises
I do not recommend this Enterprise in any way. Totally disorganized and instead of helping make the trip more practical and relaxing, it was my main cause of stress. We organized the entire tour to Machu Picchu with them, from the train tickets to the hotel in Aguas Calientes months before the trip. Two days before the tour they sent a message warning the cancellation of this. Speaking with a special agent, we decided to go to Aguas Calientes where we were promised that we would meet with a guide who would make the queue to pick up the city tickets. When we arrived at the village there was no one from the hotel waiting for us, and that was promised. Already in the village we were also informed that the guide would not make the purchase, which would be on our account. We had to stay in line from 4 a.m. to 3 p.m. to get tickets for the next day. Details, the value of the tickets was already in the package that was paid. We spent three days in Aguas Calientes, when initially we were supposed to have only one night in the village and still made more confusion in the train tickets on the return. Finally, the assistant who accompanied us in the process responded to our messages when she understood and then simply stopped not responding. Bad experience and lack of professionalism.

Booked 6 months before. Confirmed the day before the visit. Cancelled the same morning by email. No contact. Horrible.

DONT BOOK, ITS A SCAM
Don’t book this tour! Horrible costumer service: we tried messaging and calling them but they never answered or provided any support. Luckily they have a full refund policy so we cancelled just in time. You stand a much better chance booking this type of tour in cusco for the same price, so do that instead. Also most of their reviews are botted, no idea how tripadvisor lets them get away with this….

Do not book with them
The worst experience. They cancelled our tour the day before and now we have no way of going to Machu Picchu. Do not book with them

Huaynapicchu Accepting Tour Bookings While Unavailable and Not Issuing Refunds
This company continues to display full calendar availability and accept bookings, despite not actually offering the tour. After booking nearly two weeks in advance, we were informed that the tour was unavailable with the following message: “Good afternoon. Due to holidays in the month of May, the entrance is sold out until July. We no longer have availability.” They have still not refunded the canceled tour, which cost over $500. I don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews, especially when they may impact a small business’s reputation. However, other providers in Cusco have gone above and beyond to make our journey amazing, while this company (Huaynapicchu) has yet to issue a refund. Viator also bears some responsibility—why are tours available to book when they are clearly not? Am I the only one whose paid tour was canceled?

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days 1 Night in Machu Picchu with Tourist Train and Entrance: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 2 Days 1 Night in Machu Picchu with Tourist Train and Entrance cost?
+
Prices start at $380 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 Days 1 Night in Machu Picchu with Tourist Train and Entrance 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 Days 1 Night in Machu Picchu with Tourist Train and Entrance worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2.9/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days 1 Night in Machu Picchu with Tourist Train and Entrance?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Days 1 Night in Machu Picchu with Tourist Train and Entrance 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 Days 1 Night in Machu Picchu with Tourist Train and Entrance?
+
Around 3 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 Days 1 Night in Machu Picchu with Tourist Train and Entrance 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, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, 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.
