    Hassle free, wish had more return options

    First off I will say this is a great tour. They book everything for you so there is nothing to try and coordinate so it is totally hassle free. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is that you don’t have an option on what time you would like to return. For example, we left Cusco at 4am and by the time we were done w all transport up to Machu Picchu and toured it with the guide it was about 11:30a. After taking the bus back down we still had the lunch and some shopping to do. Our train was not until 5:30p. We would have loved a 2:00p option. We tried to go to the ticket office and they do not let you change your ticket to an earlier time, you have to book a new ticket. The price for the 6 of us to take an earlier train would have been almost $900 usd. Therefore, we found ourselves with many hours to kill. (I do recommend an hour massage at one of the many massage shops, an hour will run you about $20 usd.) We would have loved a shorter tour option in this case as it is a very long day and we didn’t return to our Airbnb until around 10:15p.

    Professional, great communication

    Communication was excellent, very responsive to messages. They picked us up at our air bnb, drove us to train station, helped us get to the bus, then we had a guide through Machu Pichu. They had given us all of our tickets in advance. Then when we got done with Machu Pichu we had 5 hours to explore Machu Pichu district for lunch and shopping before the train ride back down. For us, 5 hours was too long and we were unable to get an earlier train. Overall the day started at 5am and ended at 10pm. Very coordinated, great communication.

    Good experience overall but we had several issues

    This tour is good if you want someone to book everything for you. However we had several mishaps along the way and I believe they were due to miscommunication. We missed our train to Machu Picchu because the bus driver dropped us off by the Inca Rail line instead of Peru Rail. We were not informed there was more than one rail line and we were waiting at Inca rail and missed our train, we then had to run to buy new tickets with our own money. The person I was communicating with was very helpful throughout this process and found us a new guide to take us around Machu Picchu. The other issue was that the tour and lunch were over by 2 and then the train back to Cusco didn’t leave until 5:50 so we had a lot of time just sitting around, the train was also delayed and so was our bus so we did not get back after 11:30 pm. It was a long exhausting day, the tour was only advertised as a 16 hour tour and and were almost gone for 21 hours.

    MAGICAL!!

    The price to take the extra work into organizing the two trains two buses and two shuttles is worth it when you are knowingly going to be jet lagged tired and want to have it all taken care of. I woke up super early and i should have prepared a cap for the afternoon sun, the best cardio i had was doing the last 30 min of stairs like on level 3 of stairmaster with less oxygen that you are used to. Great guides! They know where to take pics and how to do it for you! Very educational on history and story of the findings of macchu picchu and bingon who stole artifacts and never returned them to the rightful owners now held in YALES basement archives...OVERALL breathtaking in both senses! come with your water and watch to time that you dont miss your train back! Lunch included which helps!

    Once in a lifetime

    The tour is more of a service that gets everything together for you. They arrange all of the transports and then a guide at Machu Picchu but from place to place there is a bit of figuring things out. Overall it was worth it. Also there is a bunch of walking so be ready!!

    Machu picchu one day by train all included - Circuit 2: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Machu picchu one day by train all included - Circuit 2 cost?

    +

    Prices start at $385 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sacred Valley 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 one day by train all included - Circuit 2 take?

    +

    Plan for about 16 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 Sacred Valley is not rushed.

    Is Machu picchu one day by train all included - Circuit 2 worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Machu picchu one day by train all included - Circuit 2?

    +

    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 one day by train all included - Circuit 2 suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Machu picchu one day by train all included - Circuit 2?

    +

    Around 19 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 Sacred Valley 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 Sacred Valley and add a light layer if any part of the 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Machu picchu one day by train all included - Circuit 2 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 Sacred Valley 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 Sacred Valley?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sacred Valley experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco ( with Pisac), From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch, Machu Picchu Guided Tour from Aguas Calientes. 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 Sacred Valley?

    +

    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 Sacred Valley?

    +

    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.
