On a Cusco to Machu Picchu tour you will first be take a Cusco city tour around the many churches, cathedrals and the San Blas neighborhood in order to see artwork done by local artists. After you are done seeing all the important landmarks there are in Cusco you can then make your way to Machu Picchu, the great thing is that there are several paths you can take to reach the Inca city.
They say the best route to get from Cusco to Machu Picchu is by taking the Inca trail; however it really depends on what your expectations and physical fitness levels are. There is the typical path taken by the average traveler which happens to be a rather scenic train ride from Cusco to the town at the bottom of Machu Picchu known as Aguas Calientes. The following morning (and by morning I mean 5 AM) you would take a bus which transports you to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, right on time for the sun to rise over the majestic Andean Mountain range.
Taking the Inca trails as part of a Cusco to Machu Picchu tour is a more adventurous alternative indeed. You will take the traditional path the Inca took in order to reach Machu Picchu, so this means camping in the highlands of Peru for about 3-4 days and of course sleeping under the cool Andean night. Think about the incredible opportunity this is as you will be battling he elements just like the Inca did before finally getting to the ancient lost city which is now considered a world wonder.
