We booked the all inclusive package to take away any uncertainty about getting train , bus and into Machu Picchu. Right from the start you are looked after all the way. You wait in the waiting area a short walk from the station in Ollytantambo and then you are led according to your carriage number by brightly traditionally dressed staff members playing local music and dancing their way down - very charming. Once on the train a staff member checks in with you, tells you to follow them upon arrrival at Aguas Callientes, where you are then handed over to a guide who escorts you to the bus , and gets on with you and then takes you on whichever circuit of Machu Picchu you have booked. On the train itself you get refreshments and music and wide windows to see the scenery. If you are given the option try to book the right hand side of the train going and facing the direction of travel.- here are are single seats facing each other and it’s the right side to get the best view All in all an excellent experience and I highly recommend them.

Very efficient and thorough service

Extra attention to detail makes the experience memorable.
Staff was courteous and helpful from the moment we checked in until we stepped out in Macchu Picchu station. Little things like tea and snacks in the comfortable waiting areas made it a wonderful experience we will recommend to others.

Disappointed
My husband, son and I were scheduled to take the Inca Rail on May 13 from Cusco. We stopped in on the 12h to confirm our tickets and to see where we needed to load the bus. This is where we found out that the train wouldn’t be running that day due to a strike by the farmers. We needed to change our plans but unfortunately we didn’t have enough notice to cancel our hotel in Cusco and then had to find one for an additional night in Aguas Calientes. An additional cost to our trip that we weren’t planning. We also had to change trains from the 360 to Voyageur with only a $21 refund. On our return trip we were able to leave 3 hours earlier than planned but were charged $150 for the difference. Overall, we were disappointed in the Inca Rail policy and will recommend PeruRail to our traveling friends.
