Luxury Machu Picchu Tour Package: Choosing the Perfect Experience for You

Visiting Machu Picchu is a once-in-a-lifetime journey - but not all Machu Picchu tour packages are created equal. A luxury tour ensures you experience the ruins in comfort, privacy, and style without the stress of crowds or logistical hassles. 

Ranging from a luxury one day visit with the Hiram Bingham train, to heading on an memorable overnight tour with a stay in Aguas Calientes, there are many unforgettable options to choose from. Each package offers exceptional flexibility and high quality service - and here at The Luxury Peru Travel Company we can tailor your experience exactly how you want it to be.

In this guide we’ll explore the different luxury Machu Picchu tour packages you can choose from, and how each one is best depending on the type of experience you are looking for. We’ll also answer your most burning questions later in our FAQ section.

Is There A Best Luxury Machu Picchu Tour Package?

Firstly to begin with answering the most important question - all luxury Machu Picchu trips will of course visit the sacred ruins, and include a private guided tour around this picturesque site. However it’s important to stress that these tours can and do vary in terms of how much comfort and exclusivity is offered.

Unless you’re in a rush to get around Peru and have very limited time (such as just 3 or 4 days), then we highly recommend choosing a luxury Machu Picchu tour package where you are able to stay overnight in Aguas Calientes. This charming mountainous town, which sits next to the ruins of Machu Picchu, allows you to get to the archaeological site very quickly - and staying overnight means you can enjoy the mystical serenity of Machu Picchu long before the crowds begin to arrive. 

Here at The Luxury Peru Tour Company we have crafted unforgettable Machu Picchu tour packages that suit all tastes, which include the finest boutique hotel stays as well as flexibility depending on how much time you have available. When booking your luxury Machu Picchu tour with us, you’ll also benefit from the most comfortable and effortless private transport, expert tour guides to show you around as well as an earlier entrance for a more crowd-free experience.

Our Very Best Luxury & Private Machu Picchu Tour Packages

• Those with a short time should prioritize a 3 Day Machu Picchu Package Tour. Here you can enjoy the most seamless and hassle-free experience exploring Peru’s wonder of the world - without skipping on premium transport or quality even despite having less time available.

• If you have more free time and want to experience Machu Picchu at sunrise, then you can opt for a longer 5 Day Machu Picchu Vacation Trip. Watching the cool mountain mist rise over the ruins with early sunlight all around truly is an unforgettable experience, and one worth having when visiting this site!

• Would you like to spend longer exploring Machu Picchu, Aguas Calientes and the Sacred Valley region? Then a Multi-Day Cusco And Machu Picchu Package makes the most sense. Here you can have the most complete Machu Picchu experience, whilst enjoying a stay at the finest boutique hotels in Aguas Calientes, Cusco and beyond.

The Most Important Considerations When Choosing A Luxury Machu Picchu Tour Package

From considering time restrictions to the type of transport used to get from Cusco to Machu Picchu - it’s important to get the details clear before you make your way to Peru. We’ll now cover the most important things to consider below.

How Many Days You Have Available To Explore Machu Picchu

At the very minimum you’ll need at least one full day to reach the sacred ruins, where you will visit  at midday after departing early from Cusco. 

Alternatively, with an overnight Machu Picchu tour, you’ll be able to stay overnight and enjoy Machu Picchu in the early morning with few crowds around. However if you have multiple days available, you can choose a longer Machu Picchu tour experience which is perfect for enjoying the hot springs of Aguas Calientes, hiking the Short Inca Trail from Chachabamba and exploring the beautiful waterfalls hidden within the high Amazon Jungle.

Choosing Your Transportation Services To And From Cusco

As all journeys to Machu Picchu first begin from Cusco, we must consider the type of transport service which we will use to reach these remote ruins.

The Vistadome Train is the classic and most affordable train option that departs from Cusco, which is what most tours use. However there’s also the luxurious Hiram Bingham Train which includes exceptional gourmet meals and brilliant on-board entertainment, and is our go-to for our guests during our luxury Machu Picchu tours. After all - it’s often the journey that is just as memorable as the end destination!

The Level Of Service Quality And Experience That You Would Like

Service matters, and as such it’s important to check what type of luxury accommodation and the overall service you’ll be receiving  with your luxury Machu Picchu tour.

Many tours include the usual basics of including all transport, a hotel stay and a guided tour around the ruins. However, for those who want the most memorable and luxurious experience, we want the very best of all. This includes having the most comfortable transport to and from Aguas Calientes, having a safely guided tour with an experienced tour guide, as well as not wasting time in long lines. When booking a Machu Picchu tour with us, you will enjoy both a private guided visit with our expert tour guides - as well as staying in the most comfortable and luxurious hotels in both Cusco and Aguas Calientes.
