    Perfect experience.

    My husband and I chose to visit Peru for our honeymoon, and it was an incredible experience. The trip was organized down to the smallest detail, and we managed to visit the most important cities in Peru: from Lima to Cuzco, from Paracas to Puno. Both the guides and the transfers were impeccable. A special mention goes to Gabriel and Melbin, who with their passion and great professionalism helped us understand the history of this country and the origins of the Inca people. Thanks again.

    Response from the operator: Grazie di cuore per aver condiviso la vostra recensione e per aver affidato a noi un viaggio così speciale! Ci riempie di orgoglio sapere che la cura dei dettagli, l'organizzazione e la dedizione della nostra squadra abbiano reso la vostra esperienza impeccabile. Trasmetteremo i vostri calorosi complimenti alle nostre guide, che saranno felici di sapere quanto la loro passione vi abbia fatto apprezzare la storia e la cultura del Perù. Vi auguriamo un futuro ricco di felicità e speriamo di riaccogliervi presto per una nuova avventura! Equipo VIPAC Travel

    Good trip, very well organized. Recommended.

    Our trip was semi-private with a 3d/2n extension to the Amazon (Inkaterra) It was only shared in Paracas/Nazca Lines and Inkaterra. All the guides were good, highlighting Flavia (Arequipa and Colca Canyon) and Yazira (Cusco and Sacred Valley). Transportation in general was good. The one in Arequipa and Colca Canyon was weak because it was an old minivan and the AC was not working well. Hotels were a bit weak, except for the one in Lima and the one in Paracas. Arequipa ok.

    Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia y por su recomendación. Nos alegra saber que su viaje semi-privado, incluyendo la extensión a la Amazonía, estuvo muy bien organizado y fue en general una grata experiencia. Es un gran orgullo para nosotros contar con excelentes profesionales; transmitiremos con mucha alegría sus reconocimientos especiales a Flavia por su gran labor en Arequipa y el Valle del Colca, y a Yazira por su excelente dedicación en Cusco y el Valle Sagrado. Asimismo, agradecemos sinceramente sus observaciones constructivas sobre el transporte utilizado en Arequipa y el desempeño del aire acondicionado, así como sus comentarios sobre la selección de hoteles en su itinerario. Valoramos mucho esta retroalimentación y la tomaremos en cuenta junto con las áreas correspondientes para revisar nuestros estándares de calidad y asegurar mejoras continuas en el confort de nuestros servicios. Será un gran honor recibirles nuevamente en una futura visita a Perú. Equipo VIPAC Travel

    15-Day Great Inca Expedition: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.

    How does 15-Day Great Inca Expedition compare to similar tours in Lima?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Lima, with an Outty Ranking of 77. At $1,782 it sits above the typical similar option ($85), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.

    Who is 15-Day Great Inca Expedition best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 360-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is 15-Day Great Inca Expedition good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $1,782, above the $85 typical for similar experiences in Lima.

    How much does 15-Day Great Inca Expedition cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,782 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 15-Day Great Inca Expedition take?

    +

    Plan for about 360 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.

    Is 15-Day Great Inca Expedition worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 15-Day Great Inca Expedition?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 15-Day Great Inca Expedition suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 360-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 15-Day Great Inca Expedition?

    +

    Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 360-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 15-Day Great Inca Expedition start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lima?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Lima to Paracas: Islands, Slave Tunnels & National Park in 1 day!, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lima?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lima?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 15-Day Great Inca Expedition?

    +

    Included: All transfers between airport / hotel / railway station / bus station; The Expedition or Voyager train is provided for travellers booking Economy or Tourist Clas; The Vistadome or Machu Picchu 360 train is provided for travellers booking First or Deluxe; Lunch; and Guide in live bilingual Spanish and English service. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; Gratuities; Domestic and international flight tickets; and Pisco airport tax, Lima. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 15-Day Great Inca Expedition include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Lima. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is 15-Day Great Inca Expedition offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 15-Day Great Inca Expedition?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 15-Day Great Inca Expedition wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 15-Day Great Inca Expedition if the weather is bad?

    +
