3.Full-Day Tour from Cusco with Optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 927 reviews · 15 hours - 2 days · from $283

Travel from Cusco to Machu Picchu by van, train, and mountain bus, then spend 2.5 hours inside the Inca citadel with a guide in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Guides such as Williams, Santos, and Milton have earned praise for clear explanations and thoughtful help. Add lunch at Cafe Inkaterra if you want an easier day.

“We had a FANTASTIC day! Our guide, William, did make sure that our experience of Machu Picchu was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable, professional and it really felt he liked his job. We will forever be thankful to William for this lifetime experience. The entire day was very well organized. It is a long ride from Cusco to the train station and then almost two hours to the village connecting the railway to Machu Picchu. But the train ride is very beautiful and when in the village you’ll have a very good three course lunch before the guiding of the Machu Picchu. We are very satisfied with this activity.”

Our tour guide Eder (sp?) was extremely knowledgeable and nice. Definitely recommend this tour. They do, however, need to include during booking how you would like to be communicated with. Such as text, email, call etc. Not everyone is from the same continent nor use the same apps”
