Excellent!

Can’t recommend Peru Travel enough. William was brilliant and kept in constant touch. He organised our pick ups from the airport. Amazing trips to Ballestos islands and Huacachina Desert, Machu Pichu and Rainbow Mountain. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

Very disorganized

I would not recommend going with this company. Although everything seems to be planned out, but they expect you to figure things out on your own especially when you are getting off the train and into another bus. In fact, we asked several times the night before where we were suppose to go after we get there by train, and we we were told the tour guide was going to meet us there, which I don’t think they ever intended. When we finally got to Machu Picchu entrance, our tour guide was nowhere to be found although our tickets were for 8 am and we were calling William (the organizer) until 9:30 and he kept telling us to wait. Eventually we left and went on our own especially since the Machu Picchu mountain is only open until 10 am and we didn’t want to miss going. They were very apologetic and refunded us a small portion of the fee for the troubles which is why I’m giving it 2 stars compared to 1 or 0 (if I could) but it definitely wasn’t worth such trouble. I would recommend booking a taxi to the train station and taking the train from there followed by the bus (the bus station is very close to the train station) and save yourself a whole lot of hassle being dependent on someone else.

Cusco/Machu Picchu Tour

I came with a group of students at the end of July. Our first day in Cusco, we toured the city and I was impressed by what I learned. Then we traveled to Aguas Calientes by train and stayed overnight. In the morning, we took the bus to Machu Picchu. Our tour guide, Javier, was very good! We enjoyed his company and he had a great tour from start to finish. Thank you!

Machu Picchu Trips One Day Tour with Inca Rail Train from Cusco: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Machu Picchu Trips One Day Tour with Inca Rail Train from Cusco cost?

+

Prices start at $350 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 Trips One Day Tour with Inca Rail Train from Cusco take?

+

Plan for about 2 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 Trips One Day Tour with Inca Rail Train from Cusco worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 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 Machu Picchu Trips One Day Tour with Inca Rail Train from Cusco?

+

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 Machu Picchu Trips One Day Tour with Inca Rail Train from Cusco suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu Trips One Day Tour with Inca Rail Train from Cusco?

+

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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Machu Picchu Trips One Day Tour with Inca Rail Train from Cusco 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.
