Worst experience
This is thé worst experience ever. Trip was planned from USA 5000 km away 2 months in advance . 1 day before the train trip I was notified that it was cancelled. They just cost me 10k more to rebook train and airfare and hotels while we are stuck in Peru . Truly the worst
Response from the operator: Dear Hisham. On behalf of Machupicch Andes Tours we thank you for your review on tripadvisor. For our company your comment is very valuable and will help us to overcome our weaknesses. We regret that your trip to Machu Picchu by luxury train didn’t take place, but this wasn’t entirely up to us. At the time of your booking, the tickets to Machu Picchu were already sold out and also the luxury train railway company cancelled its operation for the date you booked, this we let you know at the time by WhatsApp, you insisted saying that your trip on the luxury train was already confirmed, you were more concerned about your Sacred Valley tour reservation than organizing your trip to Machu Picchu. After a few days, we wrote you again by WhatsApp and you were still saying that you already have a Viator Voucher. If you book your trip through TripAdvisor / Viator, you should immediately contact the service provider to clarify some doubts and confirm your trip. Especially if you’re traveling to Machupicchu which has limited availability, spaces to Machu Picchu always sell out 2 or 3 months in advance depending on the season and spatial dates. Through internal communication, with many of our clients who booked through viator and there was no availability to Machu Picchu we have given them the best alternatives and they visited Machu Picchu with total normality. our company always works hard to offer a quality service to our clients.

So Glad We Did This!
I was a little hesitant booking this because I wasn't sure it was a real tour company. After checking a few sites and with a tour guide, I felt better about sending the money. The interactions I had with the company via WhatsApp was handled quickly and politely. When the day came for the trip, we were picked up in a private vehicle on time and driven to the train station. We were quite early but the Hiram Bingham employees were very attentive with champagne, coffee or tea. There is a fun interactive performance before you are escorted on to the train and also lots of time for photos. The train ride itself was wonderful. The band was great and played all kinds of music. The drinks and appetizers were delicious as was the main meal. They will change anything on the menu for you. The staff and service was impeccable. Once in Aguas Calientes we were never without a guide. No line ups for the bus to Machu Picchu as we were on a private bus. No charge for the toilets as its all covered. Circuit 1 and 2 at Machu Picchu were great. When we were finished the circuit we went into The Sanctuary Lodge hotel at Machu Picchu entrance for afternoon tea. It truly was lovely. After a nice rest we boarded the private bus back down to the train station, headed into the private VIP lounge and waited for the train. The return trip was just as good as the first leg. We were again, taken by private transfer back to our hotel. The day was flawless. We were so glad to have found Machu Picchu Andes Tours. This day was the highlight of our Peru trip.

Before we were in Peru, they had already contacted our group to verify everything and have everything ready. Transportation was from the hotel to the train station. From arriving at the station, the attention of all the staff was a movie experience! Being my second time to Machu Picchu, this experience is truly a luxury. From the service, the attention, THE FOOD, the music and all the drinks possible! We loved it . Everyone should do this great at least once in their life!!

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Machu Picchu 1-Day Luxury Tour | Hiram Bingham Train: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Machu Picchu 1-Day Luxury Tour | Hiram Bingham Train cost?
+
Prices start at $1499 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 Machu Picchu 1-Day Luxury Tour | Hiram Bingham Train take?
+
Plan for about 13.5 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 Machu Picchu 1-Day Luxury Tour | Hiram Bingham Train worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu 1-Day Luxury Tour | Hiram Bingham 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 Machu Picchu 1-Day Luxury Tour | Hiram Bingham Train suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 13.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu 1-Day Luxury Tour | Hiram Bingham 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 13.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Machu Picchu 1-Day Luxury Tour | Hiram Bingham 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, 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.
