Must see!
We had a fantastic experience! Juan Carlos was clearly very knowledgeable and was an excellent guide for our trip. The place is absolutely amazing and pictures do it no justice. Even though it’s a long day, it is absolutely worth it!

Best Tour Operator!!
My wife and I were in Cusco for three months and were extremely fortunate to meet Juan Carlos at VTM. He organized tours for us to Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Puno, and Maras/Moray/Chinchero. Every tour was fantastic. Our private guides were all very knowledgeable and fun to spend the day(s) with. Juan Carlos was easy to work with and customized the tours for us. He came with the guides to our hotel (sometimes at 5 am!) to make sure we were well taken care of. His prices were very reasonable.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. Murphy and family, Good afternoon, Hope you are well, Thank you very much for taking the time to place your comenta for the experience you have had with VTM Peru Our daily work is to provide a good service to all our passengers. We are sure that we work with good people who do their best to achieve an excellent service. We hope to see you all again in the future. Warmest regards & have a nice day ! Juan carlos & Team VTM Peru

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Machu Picchu full day Tour by train Expedition: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Machu Picchu full day Tour by train Expedition cost?
+
Prices start at $349 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 full day Tour by train Expedition take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 full day Tour by train Expedition worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu full day Tour by train Expedition?
+
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 full day Tour by train Expedition suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu full day Tour by train Expedition?
+
Around 1 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Machu Picchu full day Tour by train Expedition 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.
