One of a kind, and I wish I could do it again
The experience was one of the most breathtaking adventures I have ever been on. From the journey to the destination it was an amazing time. Each day of the trip was very much worth the cost and time. The tour guides were all super friendly and knowledgeable about the area and its history, and it was overall smooth experience. The only thing I would wish for is more time to properly absorb it all. I highly recommend this to anyone who really wants to dive into area and gain as much as they can from a single visit.

Highly Recommend Cusco Unique Experience
We had a great trip to Machu Picchu booked with Cusco Unique Experience. It was a private tour, which I highly recommend for this important site. Karina and Brian worked with us to plan the perfect trip for us. They are flexible and will plan the trip that you want. Prior to the trip they sent the itinerary so we knew what we were going to do. We were met at the airport, even though out flight was very late, and driven to our hotel in the sacred valley that used to be a hacienda. Our guide for the sacred valley and Cusco was Rina, and we felt we saw and learned so much about the Incas. Our guide for Machu Picchu was Alex. He met with us the night before we were going to Machu to tell us what to bring, what not to bring, and what to expect. He met us at our hotel on Machu Picchu morning to walk to the bus with us. He explained so much about the Incas and Machu Pichu. He helped us with our photos and suggested good places to take photos. It was so great to have a private tour. We spent two more days touring with Rina ending in Cusco. We were offered one more activity to end our tour and we chose a cooking class. That was a riot because the chef spoke Spanish but the restaurant provided a someone to translate for us. The food was delicious. Our driver picked us up at 4:30AM for our vert early flight to Santiago, Chile. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. We loved Peru and we were totally satisfied with Cusco Unique Experience.

Can I give 6 Stars?
Outstanding. My adult daughter and I traveled 8/10-16 and had a wonderful time. We had a personal guide, Edith, who was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We upgraded our lodging to 4-star, and it was well worth it. We had a different guide for Machu Picchu only, Irving, who was also very knowledgeable and personable as well. I must say, most of the info I read that warned of the pitfalls of Peru, were not true in the least. The people were friendly, the food was great. Yes, Cusco does have some run-down areas, but don't most major cities? I definitely recommend this tour, and highly recommend the Casa Andina that we stayed at as part of the lodging (we stayed at 3 diff hotels total).

This was an amazing tour...
<p>This was an amazing tour. Definitely worth 5 stars. We had top notch personal service from the time we booked the tour including numerous emails back and forth to get our preferences in hotels and schedule before even going. We were able to customize some aspects of the tour. We were met at the airport even after flight cancellations and delays by Brian and Karina along with a driver and were presented with welcome gifts and detailed itineraries. We were then driven to Sacred Valley to rest after travelling for almost 24 hours to get to Cusco. The next morning we were picked up by a private guide and driver. The vehicle was a large, comfortable and clean van for just the four of us including the driver and guide. Our guide Edith was amazing and not only provided detailed historical information but made everything interesting by explaining the customs, foods, clothing and cultures of the different areas we visited. There were no questions that Edith could not answer. We travelled to Aquas Calientes by train and visited Machu Picchu the next day. Again we had a private guide. The benefit of having private guides is you can go at your own pace. Since my spouse and I are avid photographers we like to spend time taking lots of photos from different view points. Also, with the steep climbs and high altitude, it was nice to be able to go at our own pace and enjoy the sites without being rushed, After Machu Picchu, we spent another night in Sacred Valley and two nights in Cusco. Our days in Sacred Valley and Cusco were full visiting numerous sites including Maras. Again we had our guide Edith and a driver Carlos. Edith provided lots of information and interesting facts for all the sites we visited. While we were in Cusco we went to a cooking lesson. Again, this was private with only the head chef and my spouse and I. We had an amazing time and the food was excellent. Brian was always accessible during our stay. He would promptly respond to any questions via email. We can't say enough how wonderful this tour was and highly recommend it. It was the best tour we have ever taken!!</p>

Wonderful experience
My husband and I recently visited Peru for the first time. After much research on the internet, we chose the 6 days private tour package with Cusco Unique Experience. It was a great choice. Even before the trip started, the owners of the tour company, Karina and Brian, made sure they accommodated all of our special requests and preferences. When we arrived in Cusco, they met us at the airport and drove us to our hotel even though our tour did not begin until two days later (we scheduled two days of rest in Cusco prior to beginning the tour). They provided us with detailed itineraries of our visit, dining recommendations, and even a nice welcome gift. Throughout our stay they regularly checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying our visit. Our personal tour guide, Remi, was delightful and very knowledgeable; we had an excellent driver, Javier, who was always punctual. The tour package was incredibly well organized and varied, with visits to the major attractions in the Sacred Valley. It included visits to archeological sites in Ollantantaybo, Moray, Q’enqo, Puka Pukara, Tambomachay, Pisac, and Chinchero; visits to quaint historical towns such as Ollantantaybo and Chincheros; visit of the salt mines of Maras; and visits to Pisac and Chinchero markets. Of course, the crown jewel was the visit to Machu Picchu. The guided tour of Cusco combined a mixture of visits to colonial historical buildings and Inca ruins (the fabulous Qorikancha and Saqsayhuaman). The tour also included a choice of a two hour workshop in the evening (Peruvian cuisine, chocolate, or coffee); we chose the coffee workshop and had a marvelous time. Cusco Unique Experience offers a private, personalized, attentive, and affordable tour experience of the Sacred Valley. We highly recommend it.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6-Day Private Tour to Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 6-Day Private Tour to Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu cost?
+
Prices start at $1,630 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 Private Tour to Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu 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 Private Tour to Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6-Day Private Tour to Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu?
+
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 Private Tour to Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 144-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 6-Day Private Tour to Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu?
+
Around 2 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 Private Tour to Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu 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.
