“I had an amazing experience visiting Machu Picchu. The transportation throughout the entire trip was excellent. The bus to the train station was clean and comfortable, and once we arrived, boarding the train was smooth. The train itself was spotless and made the ride really enjoyable. When we reached Machu Picchu, our tour guide was already waiting for us. Her name is Lucy, and she stayed with us the whole time. Lucy was incredible—knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient. She explained everything in great detail and made the whole visit feel more meaningful. We also took plenty of photos, and she always waited for us without rushing, which made the experience…”

“Am I glad I did it? Yes. The journey over is not so great! Almost 4 hours on a train with no wifi, no plug ins for phones. Smh all throughout the ride you heard the speakers of them being in business for 35+ years but no simple amenities? Ha don't get my started on the "food" they give you snacks. 4 hrs without an actual meal is rough, bring a sandwich! Once we got to Machu piccu it was so beautiful, I did find it weird that I had a whole guide to myself. Idk it felt like he was quizzing me at one point which was annoying. The…”

6.Machu Picchu 2-Day Inca Trail with Panoramic Train

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 260 reviews · 2 days · from $582

This two-day trip combines a demanding Inca Trail hike from Km 104 with sunset at Machu Picchu, a sunrise guided visit, and a Vistadome train ride. Guides such as Gilbert, Jason, Alejandro, and Abelardo are praised for patient pacing and strong local knowledge. Expect an early start, fresh trail meals, one night in Aguas Calientes, and a group of up to 16 people.

“Our guides were literally the best! We couldn’t have asked for better! The only thing we would recommend to improve on. My husband and I train tickets were not seats next to eachother and the whole group was on different trains on the ride back. The bag drop off and transportation back to our hotels process could improve. There was a lot of waiting around and extra steps that seems could be done more streamlined and organized especially when participants are tired and ready to go back to their hotels. Thank you!!”

Once we got off the train our guide was nowhere to be seen so we spent ages walking around confused as to where they were. Then about 15 minutes later they appeared. We are then given our bus tickets to Machu Picchu from this new guide who then leaves once they have given you the tickets. You are told to…”
