They say they include the machupichu ticket but they dont. I
They guarantee they include the way to get machupichu ticket but they dont. They just take you one day earlier to get your own ticket. Guide didn’t explain what was going on, talked fast and was very confusing (I speak Spanish and don’t get it). They just pay for your train tickets And your guide but you could do it on your own. If we didn’t find our own way to get the tickets, the entire trip would have been a wash - just bus and train tickets organised by then. But we paid for the tour anyway.
Response from the operator: Hi Jonathan This is very sad to hear from you. We informed you of the situation with the Machu Picchu entrance tickets two months before the start of the tour. Finally you agreed to go and you accepted. We take care of everything, train tickets, all transportation and we provide you with a private guide in Machu Picchu. Also you told us that you have two tickets for Machu Picchu and our guide in Machu Picchu will help you to get in. So at the end when we asked you about the service you told us directly in person that the tour was great. I don't understand why you would write such a bad review. This review damages our reputation. I have also tried to call you to talk about the situation and you never answer me. Anyway for the future and our experience will help us a lot. If you can help us delete this bad review, it will help us a lot. Kind regards. William

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour to Machu picchu 2 days by Train: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Tour to Machu picchu 2 days by Train cost?
+
Prices start at $450 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 Tour to Machu picchu 2 days by Train take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Tour to Machu picchu 2 days by Train worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 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 Tour to Machu picchu 2 days by Train?
+
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 Tour to Machu picchu 2 days by Train suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour to Machu picchu 2 days by Train?
+
Around 0 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Machu picchu 2 days by 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, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), 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.
What is included in Tour to Machu picchu 2 days by Train?
+
Included: Round-trip train tickets between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes (Expedition/Standard cl; Round-trip bus between Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu; Professional bilingual guide (English, Spanish & Quechua); Hotel pick-up in Cusco (Cusco city center); and Pre-trek briefing in Cusco (preparation and safety instructions).

What languages is Tour to Machu picchu 2 days by Train offered in?
+

+
