Review of a 17-hour Machu Picchu day trip from Cusco with train, entrance, guide, buses, hotel pickup, costs, timing, and practical advice.

“Our tour guide, Philipe, was wonderful. The climb to the top of Machu Picchu is steep and we were very slow. Philipe gracefully stopped at numerous spots to tell us about the plants and animals while giving us time to breathe. The only reason I’m giving the overall tour a four rather than a five is because the transportation was a bit confusing. We didn’t meet our guide until we arrived at Aguas Calientes, four hours after we departed the hotel. Navigating the train station and bus pickup locations in the dark, without help, made us a bit nervous. Apart from that, however, we loved the tour and would recommend…”

“It was so nice to have the whole day planned from start to finish. Our driver, Ever, picked us up at the hotel and dropped us off at the train station. He told us what to expect to board and disembark the train. Our tour guide, Isao, met us at Aguas Calientes and guided us to the bus station where we took a 25-minute bus ride. There were tons of people and he showed us exactly where to go and helped us get a locker so we didn’t have to carry our coats (5 soles). We had the best time exploring and hearing about Machu Picchu, Isao is very knowledgeable!…”
