Fabulous trip to Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley
The tour was well communicated and organized with clear expectations of timing. Sacred Valley and the weaving demonstration were amazing. Our guides were wonderful. The accommodations in Aguas Calientes were very good. Overall, an amazing experience.

We are delighted to know that you had such an amazing experience exploring the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with us. It is wonderful to hear that the clear communication, well-organized timing, and our beautiful local weaving demonstration met your expectations perfectly.

COMMUNICATION NEEDS TO BE BETTER
The company issued us tickets for a baby with no seat and we only found out when about to board the bus and they didn't inform us that a car would be at the train station to meet us on the way home and we just stood without a ticket not knowing how to get back. We were on our way to purchase a ticket when we came across a guy with our name on a board.

Friendly and Memorable.
Luis and Hugo were amazing, no complaints. Luis was super friendly and was honestly very intelligent. Any questions that anybody asked, he knew. I would ask random questions about history or Peru thinking he wouldn’t know a lot about it, but he knew it with a story behind it. I would recommend this trip for sure.

very fun and adventurous
Luis was very fun and he explained things very well! He made the trip more interesting and fun. I learned a lot in one day! As well as super friendly

Best guide for Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley.
Gary has a lot of experience example: he advised us to wait a little bit before going to Machu Picchu so that we got less rain (it’s rain season). It worked: we had NO rain and got great pictures.

2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo cost?
+
Prices start at $379 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Cusco is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 115 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo?
+
Around 40 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 Cusco 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 Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo 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 Cusco 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 Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. 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 Cusco?
+
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 Cusco?
+
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 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo?

Not included: Lunches and Dinners; Huayna Picchu Mountain climb permit (optional, available upon advance request) (cash only); Sacred Valley tourist ticket / Maras-Moray admission fees (cash only); and Hot springs admission fee in Aguas Calientes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo 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.

+

Is 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo 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 2-Day Premium Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines & Ollantaytambo if the weather is bad?
