Trip was amazing. Our agent, Nixon, was really good with the correspondence both before and during the tour.
Accomodation at Emmanuel Inn was very nice, more like a hotel than a hostel. Dinner was a three course meal where you could chose form a selection of Peruvian food and breakfast sufficient.
The ride over on the minivan itself was slightly uncomfortable due to land slides and heat but it was also budget friendly. If you have it in the budget would probably recommend taking the train, but minivan also doable as well, just make sure you’re not sitting in the back of the van!
Also good to note, that (for us anyway) you have to carry your bags up from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu peak, so pack light. However there is also an option to take a shuttle bus up, if packing light isn’t your thing.
