Impeccable experience
The agency's service was spectacular. We never had to wait, someone was always waiting for us, they received us at each destination and the transfers were in modern and well-maintained cars. Special mention for the guides. We loved the way they transmit their wisdom and culture. Impossible not to connect with the surroundings. The chosen tours were very well-chosen and we also liked that we had many free mornings and afternoons to explore, walk around on our own, etc. We are leaving happy.
Response from the operator: Estimada Evelina, muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de la organización, los traslados y, especialmente, del acompañamiento de nuestros guías durante tu viaje por Cusco. Qué alegría saber que te llevas lindos recuerdos y una conexión especial con nuestra cultura. ¡Esperamos recibirte nuevamente en Perú!

If you are a English Speaker, PLEASE AVOID THIS TOUR!! Total Waste of Money
We did this tour in 2nd Week of April 2019. AVOID this tour if you are a English Speaker! Total Waste of MONEY!! The highlight of this tour was the guide that LIMA Tours gave us on our trip to Macha Picchu. He was supposed to be English Speaking, but he was speaking with a heavy Japenese accent, we could not follow half the things he said!! The parts we were able to follow, he was FACTUALLY INCORRECT. He used to call the INCAs, the "INKS" and he told us that Incas build Maccha Picchu in 11th Century AD!!! In fact, the Incan empire only started in 1200 AD and this place was probably build in 14th to 15th Century AD!! In essence, if you are an ENGLISH speaker, LIMA Tours is NOT GOOD, TERRIBLE!! LIMA Tours does NOT Provide value for money!! This tour claims to be 5 days and 4 nights. In fact it is only 3 half days and 4 nights. And, it might be good if you are Spanish speaking, but we cannot vouch for it!! In fact, we took one day tour with Viajo Pacifico and they did a good job. The tour guide was speaking Good English and he was quite knowledgful. Try and check them out, may be they will good.
Response from the operator: Dear Mrs. and Mr. Anipindi, We are deeply sorry that your experience in Cusco didn´t happen as expected and we would like to account for some of the discomforts you mention. About the guide: -We have checked that your assigned guide has good general reviews and many years of experience. We are deeply sorry that there was a miscommunication problem during the tour. -The information about the XI century is part of an introductory explanation about the origins of the Inca Empire and the creation of the city of Cusco, supported by chroniclers and historians. Part of the explanation also involves diverse theories about the origins of this civilization, which might have caused confusion. About the duration of the tour: -We always provide to our guests the details of what the tour includes. This programme specifies the first and last days as transfers, considering the remaining three days for the visits to archaeological sites, city tours, etc. as it can be seen on the following link: https://www.tripadvisor.com.pe/AttractionProductDetail-g294317-d16702033-Discovering_Cuzco_5_days_tour_to_Cuzco_city_Sacred_Valley_Machu_Picchu-Sacred_Valley_Cusco_Region.html Our guides go through constant trainings to provide the best service and are always willing to help and answer any questions from our passengers. We are taking actions so that this kind of situations does not repeat again. Once again, we apologize for the discomforts you felt during your trip and thank you for your comments. Sincerely,

5 Days Discovering Cusco from Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 5 Days Discovering Cusco from Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $822 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 5 Days Discovering Cusco from Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 5 Days Discovering Cusco from Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Days Discovering Cusco from Cusco?
+
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 5 Days Discovering Cusco from Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5 Days Discovering Cusco from Cusco?
+
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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 Days Discovering Cusco from Cusco 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.
