2-Day Tour: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train from Cusco

This tour was the best. It turned out I was the only person in the tour group so I had my own guide. The first day I was able to choose the direction of the travel from Cusco to the train. Basically I was given two options. The train ride was amazing and my hotel at the base of Machu Pichu was so comfortable and warm. Up early day 2 and I got to see the sun rise while sitting on the mountain. This tour was brilliant. The company communicated with me from the minute I booked the tour until the tour ended. I 100% recommend this tour and the company to each and everyone of you that would like to visit Machu Pichu.

This is an incredible two day tour. Action packed with many stops the first day in Sacred Valley with great tour guide Victor. Then, the ultimate Circuit 2 Machu Picchu tour with guide Carlos A (Sifuentes Sullcaccori). Carlos was the absolute best guide we have ever had in over 30 years of travel. His passion and deep knowledge helped us understand the history and characteristics of the Inca settlers and the meanings behind the location. A great story teller who adeptly pulled relevant pictures from multiple books and his iPad to educate our small group. So glad we did this tour and very fortunate to have such incredible guides. The train ride both ways was also amazing with a Pisco tasting and band on the way to Machu Picchu and a fashion show by the train attendants on the way back (most of us purchased multiple baby alpaca articles at attractive prices). Highly recommend this tour.

Those who do this tour will have a great time. Everything organized, they arrive on time, the van is very comfortable, the guide knows what he talks about. We could dedicate ourselves to get to know Peru and the wonderful places we went without worrying about anything else. Lunch is good-good eh

Our trip to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu was absolutely wonderful and truly unique. The organization was flawless from start to finish. Communication, travel information, and documents were all perfectly arranged. Throughout the entire tour we always felt comfortable, safe, and very well taken care of. All of the guides and drivers were extremely kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to giving us the best possible experience. A special mention goes to our guide in Machu Picchu. He was incredibly knowledgeable, very passionate, and also had excellent photo and video skills. He gave us a three-hour tour of the breathtaking Inca ruins that we will never forget. We booked the panorama train, which was nice but not absolutely necessary. The three-star hotel was perfectly fine for one night. The price for the two days may seem high at first glance, but for us it was worth every cent and we would do the tour again without hesitation.

Best decision we made, so hassle free, it was great having everything planned for us vs the alternative of queuing for hours on end. Our tour guides and drivers were excellent and the standard train and 3 star hotel both exceeded expectations. Could not recommend more!

The journey to get there was an adventure in itself. From the scenic train ride through the Sacred Valley to the final hike up to the site, every moment was filled with awe-inspiring views and a sense of anticipation. Once at the top, the panoramic vistas of the lush mountains and expertly crafted stonework made it clear why Machu Picchu is considered one of the world’s greatest wonders. Our guide (Martin) was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of the site to life, sharing insights about Incan engineering, culture, and spirituality. Martin is also a photographer and he knows all the best angles to take incredible pictures. He is super funny and sweet to take care of everyone in our small group. The weather was mostly sunny and misty in the afternoon, which gave the ruins a magical feel, and then clear skies that made for stunning photos and views.

Nice tour from Cuzco to Machu pichu, with transfer picking you up from the hotel, very well organized

So my friend and I booked this option since it provided a night stay in Aguascalientes to get an early start at Machu Picchu. The first day we were picked up by our tour guide victor and driver for the day, Jorge. We initially thought that this would be a group tour transporting many of us on a van, however to our surprise it was just my travel group of two and our tour guides on a private tour ! The first day we fed and met alpacas, llamas and learned the difference between them. Then we stopped in Pisac to learn about archaeological ruins with the great expertise of Incan history from our tour guide victor. We then stopped at Ollantaytambo and had a buffet Peruvian lunch (that was included) with live entertainment. Finally we stopped at Ollantaytambo to see more ruins and get more history from Victor, photo ops and free time to roam the archaeological site. All of our tickets were included and given to us at the beginning of the trip, round trip bus ticket , round trip train ticket and Machu Picchu entry ticket ( we got circuit 2) . Clear instructions were given to us as we boarded the train to Aguascalientes and met by another tour guide who led us to our hotel for the night. The hotel was cozy, steps away from the trains and bus station in aguas calientes. Our luggage was stored there for the day without any issues. Once we boarded the bus to Machu Picchu we met our final tour guide of the journey; Carlos. Carlos was so knowledgeable, funny, gratefully took photos of is and knew all the good photo ops, knew great English and made our tour group (6 total people) feel like a little family. Overall, my friend and I were a bit nervous & surprised to be on a personal tour in a private car in a foreign country but the folks at fly Cusco and victor, Jorge and Carlos made is felt taken care of and safe and explained every step of the way . 10/10 would recommend them to anyone ! The relieved so much stress surrounding the journey to Machu Picchu from Cusco as it can be a. Long and complicated one for those who have never traveled there before .

I absolutely loved my 2-Day tour provided by this operator Flycusco. Firstly my coordinator Rayza for constantly updating me via WhatsApp regarding anything to do with the tour. Secondly my first tour guide for Day 1 named Carlos and our driver Martin. Carlos was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the different places we visited and helped to explain everything clearly. Martin did an excellent job both picking me up and sending me to each location on time. On Day 2 I had a second guide named Judy who was excellent. She explained and revealed so many things about Machu Picchu I never knew before, and she helped take great pictures of me too. From start to finish the Flycusco Team took excellent care of me and I felt both safe and satisfied with the tour provided :)

The service was excellent !! Thanks Rayza for everything !! The tour guide was friendly and punctual
