Airport transfer, breakfast, lunch and dinner are included; the BTL tourist ticket and three hotel nights in Cusco are not.

What the Machu Picchu and Amazon tour includes
The Machu Picchu and Amazon tour on this page runs 8 days and begins in Cusco, putting the Andean half of southern Peru and time in the Amazon rainforest into a single booking. Prices start at $1215 per adult, the rating is 4.9 from 21 reviews, and groups take up to 15 people. A round-trip airport transfer is included, as are breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Two costs sit outside that price. The BTL tourist ticket is quoted by the operator at 30 to 40 USD and paid separately, and the hotel in Cusco on days 1, 3 and 7 is not part of the package, so arrange those three nights yourself. The operator picks you up from your Cusco hotel on the day of the tour.
Cusco stands at 3,399 m and the citadel at 2,340 m, which makes the Cusco days at the start of the trip useful for acclimatising before anything strenuous. Altitude is a Cusco problem rather than a Machu Picchu one, so take the first day in the city slowly.
Your entrance ticket to the citadel is nominal: it carries your full name and ID document number, and neither the name nor the date can be changed afterwards. Give the operator your passport details exactly as they are printed, and bring that same passport to the gate. Entry happens at the hour shown on the ticket, and the visit follows one of the set circuits rather than a walk wherever you like.
Ages are banded as infant 1 to 2, child 3 to 11, youth 12 to 17, adult 18 and over, and senior 66 and over. Children aged 3 to 17 must be accompanied by an adult inside the sanctuary, and a few mountain routes are closed to anyone under 18.
