Great
The center was very helpful because they organized most of the trip in various locations such as cusco, sacred valley and machu picchu. Fransisco was the best, he knew all the details and planned it perfectly. Moreover, Wilson ( the guide in machu pichu) was very nice, educated and super funny, and he takes the best pictures. Highly recommend

Everything was great, I received great service.
They took good care of us every part of the trip. We were comfortable and the company gave us a knowledgeable guide and took great photos for us. It gave us free time to take pictures. and absorb the place properly.I'd like to give him more than 5 stars.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review.

An awesome trip to Machu Picchu
It was a great trip and I would like to thank the team to make it so easy for a solo traveler. I have travelled at many places, all alone. This was my first travel with tour company because I wanted to make Machu Picchu Happen. But it went just so smooth. A WhatsApp number, whole journey planned, every ticket purchased, pick and drop for everything connecting and so on. Would really like to thank all the people because everyone I met have been very polite and down to earth in Peru as well as from the team which arranged it. This will be a very special trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review. It was an honor to be part of making your Machu Picchu experience the best. Best wishes!

Competent and knowledgeable tour guides
I had a very good experience with this agency from beginning to end. Someone was always available to answer my questions quickly by phone or their website chat. I was picked up on time and our guide Wilfred was very knowledgable and his English was very good. The hotel in Machupicchu was very clean but very simple. Breakfast was very good. They do offer hotel upgraes, but since you really only need to spend one night and you are out to visit Machupicchu early morning, we opted not to upgrade. Since this tour went so well, I decided to book the rest of my Peru tours with Machupicchu Center. The service and tour guides were equally good in all cities but specially in Chachapoyas, our guide Sheila was one of the best local guides. I also was able to book my covid test with them last minute and got back to the USA with no issues.

Machu Picchu Center
Katherine was so, so amazing to deal with!! I chatted with her on-line numerous times, asking many questions, and she was always patient and offered advice. Our group of four booked the 2 Day/1Night Sacred Valley trip from Cusco the Machu Picchu. We are so excited to go on this trip, and might have gone with a different company if Katherine wasn't so incredible. She made the difference in being worried about the trip to feeling relaxed and being excited. Will comment again upon our return. Thank you Katherine!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great review!

2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $480 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 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour 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 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour?
+
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 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour 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 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour?
+
Around 6 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 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour 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 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour?
+
Included: Pickup from Ollantaytambo train station and drop off at Cusco historic center; Train Ollantaytambo > Machupicchu in Voyager train or Expedition train; Guided tour of Sacred Valley: Chinchero, Maras, Moray, Ollantaytambo; Pickup from hotel in Cuzco; and Train Machupicchu > Ollantaytambo in Voyager train or Expedition train. Not included: Breakfast not included on day 1; Dinner not included on day 1; Gratuities for your guide (recommended); and Lunch on Day 2 and dinner on Day 2. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 197 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour offered in?
+

+

Is 2D1N Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peruvian Cuisine, and Machu Picchu Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
