  We are thinking of arriving to Cusco in the afternoon on January 1st. We want to be picked up at the airport from Cusco to stay over night in Scared Valley region. On Janurary 2nd we then want to start the tour and already be in the Scared Valley. Question for you, given its the rainy season we were reading its best to go into Machu Picci between the hours of 10am to 1pm where the clouds reduce and the mountains are more visible. If this is true, it makes sense to start later on tbe Machu Picchu and do an afternoon circuit. Then later that day take a the train back to Ollanyatambo and then car back to Cusco on Jan 4th night. Is this tour possible with this schedule or it is better to do a private tour? Also, from your experience given it is the raining season we were considering if we should do Macchu Picchu for 2 days to ensure we get photos with visibility. We thought one of those days we can do Hauya or Mountain (circuit 1 or 3).

    We are not able to modify or customize our tour itineraries and the earliest departure we have available to request for the 'Machu Picchu by Train Independent Adventure' is January 3rd. So based on your preferences listed below it is probably best to arrange something privately.

    We don't offer private departures for two people so this is not something we can offer (unless you are in a private group of 6+ people, then we can pass your enquiry over to our Groups department). As mentioned previously the itinerary would remain as advertised, even if it was private the itinerary itself would not change.

  Are Machu Picchu tickets guaranteed on this tour? I can see the dates on sale that work for us, but everything I have read says that if tickets are not available on the official website, there's no other way to get them (other than queueing the day beforehand in Aguas Calientes). We would be able to start this tour on 20th, 21st, 22nd, or as an absolute backup, 23rd.

    Machu Picchu tickets are included in the tour price. However if you would like to proceed with making a booking this tour is on request status. This means as soon as your booking is made we will send a request to our local team to make sure that everything can be confirmed for you, including the Machu Picchu tickets. The request process can take about 2 to 3 business days and if we cannot confirm all the services you will be refunded. If this tour is confirmed it means your tickets to Machu Picchu are guaranteed.

    With regards to you enquiry about the Machu Picchu by Train Independent Adventure, this adventure is one of our independent adventures, which means you will only have your Guide with you during the Sacred Valley on a guided tour and the next morning for a guided tour of the inspiring Machu Picchu ruins. It does not involve hiking such as with the Inca Trail ending in Machu Picchu. Please also note this independent tour means you could be travelling with other travellers that are not part of G Adventures. If you are looking for a more fully guided experience, we suggest looking the tour we offer such as: Explore Machu Picchu or Machu Picchu Adventure. We highly suggest to look at a more fully guided tour with us if you are concerned about safety. We have not had any issues on any of our tours in Peru and Ecuador, even with the situation from Ecuador beginning of January.
