Eduardo - Trustworthy Tour Guide
Eduardo is one the best tour guide, I recently came across. He is honest, trustworthy and dependable. In our recent trip, due to change in rules by local authorities, we had to rebook entire trip. Eduardo helped to make it super- easy. He paid upfront for all of the booking changes, and I paid him after returns. His honesty and trustworthiness is rare in current world. Hope we can have one of him every country we visit.

An unforgettable experience in Machupicchu
Our trip to Machupicchu was like living a movie. From the train journey, through the traditional villages and mountains of Peru, to the majestic citadel, everything was magical. Eduardo and his Enterprise Planfor2day organized every detail with great dedication. All Service provided by him was always punctual, friendly and very orderly. Upon entering Machupicchu the weather was a little cloudy, but as Eduardo had ahead of us, on the assigned schedule the sky cleared and we could enjoy the view, take amazing photos and feel the special energy of the place. My partner and I are deeply grateful for all the care and attention we receive. Undoubtedly, an experience we recommend 100%.

Amazing visit to Machu Picchu
We travelled as a group from Jamaica for a competition in Lima but couldn’t miss the experience of Machu Picchu. Planfor2day coordinated everything. Transportation (train and bus), tickets to Machu Picchu and accommodation in aguas calientes. They were 100% professional and where there were issues they worked with us to resolve them. Eduardo went above and beyond with amazing recommendations. I would recommend this company for your expeditions 💯

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Machu Picchu Full Day Train Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Machu Picchu Full Day Train Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $305 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 Train Tour take?
+
Plan for about 15 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 Train Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 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 Machu Picchu Full Day Train Tour?
+
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 Train Tour 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 15-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu Full Day Train Tour?
+
Around 5 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 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Machu Picchu Full Day Train Tour 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.
