    A full on experience , a great and difficult challenge.

    The Inca trail to Machu Picchu was a tough challenge. I only got to the first camp site due to altitude sickness . The rest of my family were able to complete the hike with the excellent help of the guide and porters. I went back to K82, the start of the Inca trail and took a different route to meet up with my family at Machu Picchu. We were all looked after and helped by the local travel partners of Tour Compass. A great adventure.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. The Inca Trail is certainly a challenging adventure, and we are glad to know that you and your family felt supported throughout the journey. It is great to hear that the guide, porters, and local travel partners helped your family complete the hike and made it possible for everyone to meet again at Machu Picchu. We truly appreciate your kind words.

    Amazing trip from start to finish

    We had an amazing trip from start to finish. Everything was well organised and ran smoothly which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A special mention has to go to the porters – they were truly fantastic. Their hard work throughout didn’t go unnoticed. The chef was incredible as well. The food was not only delicious but there was always plenty of it – we were genuinely impressed by the quality and variety, especially given the setting. And finally, Luis, our guide, was fab. Knowledgeable, friendly and always encouraging, he really made the trip special for us. Overall, a brilliant experience that we would highly recommend

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that your trip was enjoyable from start to finish and that everything was well organized throughout your journey. It is especially rewarding to know that our porters, chef, and Luis made such a positive impact on your experience through their hard work, dedication, and excellent service. We truly appreciate your kind recommendation and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure in Peru in the future.

    Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu & Cusco

    Part of a Trip A Deal tour. 1 st day Sacred Valley- solo as rest of group put on later plane from Lima. My Guide was not very interested & had me at my hotel in Urubamba by 1130- no breakfast or lunch. The remaining 3 days with Claudio as our tour guide were extremely good, he is passionate, knowledgeable and very involved about Inca history - we had a great time.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that your first day in the Sacred Valley did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the level of service and arrangements. Your feedback is very important, and we will review this internally to ensure we improve in this area. We’re very pleased, however, to hear that your time with Claudio was so enjoyable. His passion and knowledge truly enhance the experience, and we’re glad he made the rest of your journey memorable. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

    4-day Inca Trail

    We had an incredible adventure with Victor and Valencia Travel on our 4-day Inca trail Trek. From the moment we met our guide, Victor, he treated us like family and kept us informed and on track each and every day. His wealth of knowledge and passion for Peruvian history, nature and culture was amazing! We enjoyed getting to know him and checking out several Inca sites along our Trek. The trek itself was challenging, SO SO many stairs ;), but a wonderful sense of accomplishment as we hiked into camp each evening! Our porters and chef deserve an incredible round of applause, they are amazing individuals and we thank them for their hard work. The meals we had at camp were incredible!! We really enjoyed being emersed in Peruvian flavors and customs! Pre-dinner tea time was always a treat!! Our individual tents and meal tent were great and I good condition. It was also a real treat to have a bowl of warm water provided after a long day of trekking before meal time :) Would 100% recommend Valencia Travel for an Inca Trail Trek. And if you are lucky enough to have Victor as a guide you are in for a real treat!! Thanks Papa V!! Victor even went above and beyond to help coordinate transportation to the airport for us with Valencia after our Trek on return to Cusco and that was very much appreciated!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience on the 4-day Inca Trail with Valencia Travel! We’re delighted to hear that Victor’s passion, knowledge, and care made your journey truly special, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. It’s also heartwarming to know you appreciated the incredible efforts of our chef and porters, as well as the thoughtful details like the warm water and authentic meals, which we aim to make memorable. We’re honored to have been part of such a meaningful adventure for you and hope to welcome you back to explore more of Peru in the future!

    4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,479 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 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service take?

    +

    Plan for about 96 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 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 73 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private 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 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service?

    +

    Around 26 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private 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 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service?

    +

    Included: Transportation - bus to kilometer 82 and train back (train service to Ollantaytambo); Dining tent with tables and chairs. Cook; 4-man tent (per 2 people); Bus trip from Machu Picchu down to Aguas Calientes; and First Aid kit. Not included: Single supplement fee $60.00; Walking sticks; For the Inca trail – first breakfast, lunch and dinner on the last day are not included; and Entrance to Huayna Picchu. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 164 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 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service 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 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service?

    +

    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 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cusco. Standard cancellation terms apply.

    What do travelers say about 4 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service?
