Decent product though a bit unnecessary
This is an external agency booking tour services through primary companies. Service was accessible and flexible and fast whatsapp responses, though not without flaws. In general satisfied, though unsure what this companie's concrete contribution was. I was on the 4-day Salkantay Trek, and briefing at the company through whom SAMEX books (KB Adventure) was rushed and a bit inconsistent with the initial briefing at the SAMEX-office. Number of allowed kg to bring was different (which resulted in a 10PEN fine while on the trek) and briefing before the trek itself was not coordinated properly, which meant I was not briefed along with the rest of my group but on my own. A bit awkward. Would recommend going straight to the companies actually doing the different tours.
Response from the operator: Dear Albert, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. At Samex Tours Peru, we truly value every piece of feedback, as it helps us continuously improve the quality of our services. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you encountered during your 4-day Salkantay Trek, particularly regarding the coordination of the briefing session, the inconsistent baggage allowance information, and the rushed experience with our partner agency. While we collaborate with authorized local operators for the execution of some services, we take full responsibility for ensuring that all details are properly organized and clearly communicated. In this case, we did not meet that standard, and for that, we are truly sorry. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the accessibility, flexibility, and responsiveness of our team via WhatsApp. Thank you for sharing your honest feedback—it helps us grow and do better. Please know that we are taking steps to improve coordination with our partner agencies to prevent similar situations in the future. Your experience is important to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better next time. Sincerely, The Samex Tours Peru Team

Amazing experience
We booked the trip for my son's 18th birthday, looking for wild and cultural experiences. It was worth it. Everything was perfect from the beginning : easy contact with the agence and Mateo who answered our questions very quickly and adapted our program according to all our needs and wishes. As from our arrival contact with him was very easy. He drove us in a private car tour all around Cusco during 2 days : sacred Valley, Salinas de Maras, Moray,... It was perfect to get used to the altitude. Then we left tor the 4d/3n Inca trail with a private guide and a private team of porters and it was just amazing : all very well organized, the guide followed our physical rythm,... It was physically quite hard but less thant expected thanks to the special attention the team provided us : incredible food, hot breakfast, coca tea at any time, tea times after the walk, hot water to wash ourselfs a little bit, 3 courses diner evrynight... Just incredible. During our walks, the guide gave us many explanations about inca's civilization and Peruvian culture. The top of the trip was when we reached our goal, so proud of us : the arrival at sungate very early in the morning to see the sunrise on Machu Picchu. We finished our holiday by an excursion by the rainbow mountain. Even if it's a three ours drive frol Cusco, you can't skip this experience! Thanks to Mateo and Samex Tour Perú, we will keep amazing memories from this wonderful trip.
Response from the operator: Dear Cecilia, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your great experience with Samex Tours Peru! We are really happy that you and your lovely family really enjoyed you trip to Cusco, the Sacred Valley, 4 DAYS INKA TRAIL TO MACHUPICCHU and the RAINBOW MOUNTAIN with Us.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4-Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with Camping: 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 with Camping cost?
+
Prices start at $1,060 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 with Camping 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 with Camping worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4-Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with Camping?
+
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 4-Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with Camping 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 with Camping?
+
Around 1 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 with Camping 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.
