    Peru Machu Pichu Cuzco and Lima tour very interesting and fun

    The tour was marvellous and to see such ancient sacred sights up close and personal was amazing. Walking the paths of so many previous occupants of the beautiful Andes was a thrill. The tours in their completeness were action packed but worth the effort. Our stops were very informative and our guest speakers spoke amazing English which added to our interests. Our guide Jose was very knowledgeable about the beautifully preserved Inca Sacred valley and Machu Pichu itself. Jose was an extremely polite host and guide, he was very conscious of the varying age gaps of our group and made sure the pace was adjusted to suit all. Thoroughly recommend the package trip adventure and learning awaits you.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Peru and that the history and beauty of the Andes made your experience so special. We’re especially glad that José’s knowledge and care helped make the tour enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for your recommendation we truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you again soon!

    Excellent Machu Picchu trip

    We had a wonderful trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu, our tour guide named Claudio Cesar Andia Paz from Valencia Travel Agency provided us with excellent service. Claudio is a warm, friendly, also very experienced & knowledgeable tour guide, he took care of us in every aspects. I want to mention that Claudio had tried his best to help us out when he found out we couldn't locate our baggage at Lima airport & thankfully we finally found out it had been transferred incorrectly to Cusco instead of Lima airport. We greatly appreciate having Claudio with us on our trip & will definitely miss him & all the beautiful memories on this trip. Cheers, Sieu Di Huynh & Dieu Hoa Lu

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your detailed and heartfelt review. We’re truly delighted to hear that your journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu was such a wonderful experience and that Claudio César Andia Paz provided exceptional service throughout your trip. His warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge are qualities we value greatly, and we’re especially proud to know he supported you beyond the tour itself by assisting with the baggage situation in Lima until everything was resolved. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’re honored to have been part of such meaningful memories. Thank you for choosing Valencia Travel—we wish you all the best and hope to welcome you again in the future.

    6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $740 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 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 144 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 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private 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 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour?

    +

    Around 20 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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private 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 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Private guided tour in Machu Picchu; Round trip bus from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu; Breakfast; Surcharges on fuel; and 5 night's accommodations at Casa Andina 3 star hotels (or similar standard). Not included: Single supplement fee $ 212.00; International airfares; Domestic flights (Lima-Cusco / Cusco-Lima); and Single supplement US$400 (for solo travelers). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 170 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 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour?

    +

    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 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour 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 6-Day Machu Picchu Express Private Tour?

    +

    Across 57 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, the guide, organization. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted. One thing to know: Several reviewers comment on how the schedule is paced.
