There is very very little...

Donald_M, Jul 2025

There is very very little flat walking, mostly steep getting to Machu Picchu once there walking easy except for the stair climbing. Make sure you under stand 24 hr time we did't and screwed-up but John bailed us out. Thank you thank you, John. Consider upgrading to the outdoor observation train, we did this after we screwed-up. It was well worth it.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Donald, Thank you for sharing your experience on the 2-Day Machu Picchu Tour by Train from Cusco. We're so glad to hear that, despite the challenges, John was able to support you and make things right — that's exactly the kind of dedication we strive for! You're absolutely right: the walk to Machu Picchu does involve some steep sections, and understanding the 24-hour time format can make a big difference in staying on track. We're also happy you enjoyed the upgrade to the outdoor observation train — it's a stunning way to take in the Andean landscape. Have you thought about exploring other wonders of Peru, like the salt mines of Maras or the majestic Palcoyo Rainbow Mountain? Sincerely, The Machu Picchu Tours Team
