Great experience. Our...

Great experience. Our tour guide Gregory was fantastic and such a wealth of knowledge. We look forward to coming back to Peru and Machu Picchu.

Don’t miss this trip

The train journey was great, although expect delays as it’s a single track line and there are delays whilst waiting for other trains from the other direction to pass. Last moan about the train is that the return journey was terminated halfway back to Cusco with the final leg carried out by replacement buses. That’s no criticism of the tour operator, just PeruRail. A plus though was that the tour operator laid on a taxi when we got back to Cusco to take us the short distance to our hotel. Top marks there. We were guided around Machu Picchu by Greg who was tremendous. He seemed to know everything about this wonderful site and the local area.

Good trip but can be booked by yourself with little research.

Be aware - it is a full day trip (15-16 hrs) with little or no breaks in between. You may not have a chance to grab some food and you are in the mercy of timeline (which was not communicated in advance, but rather shortly the night before the trip). Positives: convenience and worry free to book at the right tickets, knowledgeable guide in Machu Picchu. Organized transport. Negative: We did not have enough time for lunch. Local company book the tickets for us (Machu Picchu, Vista Dome Train and transfers) so you are on the mercy of their timeline (no control). Pick up in the morning - desire better coordination. Driver was late by 45 min, which does make a lot of difference if you have to get up at 2am or 3am. Transfer back to to the hotel - could be much better, as it seems that we travel on local bus and driver was picking up locals rather than transport being specific for tourists. Train trip starts in Ollantaytambo - which requires 2 hr drive from Cuzco. Better to opt for option of the train straight from Cuzco. VistaDome train - probably overrated, not worth as much as the hype (save money).
