The Ultimate S American adventure
We had a great experience.. made extra special by our guide Ruben, whom was with us for 15 days. He was very knowledgable, well organised- going the extra mile for each of us. Had a great sense of humour too.

His knowledge, organization, sense of humor, and willingness to go the extra mile clearly left a strong impression throughout the 15 days.

Magical Peru
Ronaldo looked after our group of 19 people for the entire 2 weeks we were in Peru. It was obvious from the outset that he is passionate about his job as a tour guide. His priority was to make sure we were all enjoying our experience and felt taken care of. We absolutely loved our time in Peru and it was the highlight of our tour. We were very fortunate to have had Ronaldo as our guide and we bonded as a group due to his experience and commitment to his duty of care.
Response from the operator: We are delighted to know that your two weeks in Peru were such a magical experience. It is wonderful to hear that Ronald looked after your group of 19 with passion, care, and strong commitment throughout the journey. Thank you for highlighting his experience and dedication. We are very glad he helped make your time in Peru the highlight of your tour.

Great adventure
Ruben was extra ordinary and highlight of the tour he went above and beyond There are no words to describe his generosity. Very happy to do the tour. He was the highlight. And the coach to Puno 10 hr journey was super comfortable. Flight schedule was poor. And hotel were on a good location but basic.

Valencia Travel and Ruben looked after our group for 10 days. Faultless professional and nothing too hard to deal with.
Exceptional experience. Adventure, history, food and culture that ticked a lot off the bucket list. I would recommend Valencia to everyone.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Day - Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco - Group Service: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 2 Day - Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco - Group Service cost?
+
Prices start at $423 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 - Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco - Group Service 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 - Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco - Group Service worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 102 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 - Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco - Group Service?
+
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 - Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco - Group Service 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 - Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco - Group Service?
+
Around 36 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 - Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco - Group Service 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 - Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco - Group Service?
