My Experience at Machu Picchu
Good morning. I would like to share that my experience with the 6-day tour visiting the city of Cusco and Machu Picchu was exceptional. I really enjoyed it because I traveled alone and met many other tourists who were also traveling by themselves. The guide was very kind and helpful, and he guided me throughout the entire tour. The agency fulfilled everything that was promised. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Cusco 6N5D Tour with Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain
6D 5N Cusco with Rainbow Mountain Planning my Peru trip six months ago felt overwhelming, with numerous tour operators to choose from. After requesting a few quotes, I selected Kantu Tours based on their reviews and prompt respons and competitive pricing. I took the plunge and certainly made the right decision. They have been very professional from start to finish. I booked a 6 day / 5 night itinerary covering Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu (Vistadome train), Maras & Moray, and Rainbow Mountain, including accommodation. Every aspect of the tour was handled with professionalism and care. Communication was exemplary throughout. Punctual airport pickup to drop off, and every tour pickup was on time, Mary, who managed my booking, was efficient and responsive. David, my assigned Customer Service coordinator, met me on arrival and departure and sent a detailed WhatsApp update every evening outlining the next day’s schedule, timings, and requirements Our guides, Carlos and Raphael, were knowledgeable, engaging, and very helpful. IThe hotels arranged by Kantu Tours were of a high standard with good breakst choice even for vegetarians. If you are looking for a trustworthy, well‑coordinated, and genuinely customer‑focused local tour operator in Cusco, I would wholeheartedly recommend Kantu Tours. I could not fault any aspect of their arrangements.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re truly happy to know you enjoyed your 6D/5N experience with us and that everything from coordination to hotels and guides met your expectations. We will gladly share your kind words with Mary, David, Carlos, and Rafael. It was a pleasure having you in Peru, and we hope to welcome you again in the future!

Great experience!
We were happy to do this tour as it took a lot of guesswork and stress from our plate. Our rep Franklin sent detailed itineraries everyday that highlighted the activities of the day, approximate times, FAQ, recommended things to bring etc. The team really goes above and beyond eg. A rep met us at our hotel the night before the tour started to give us the rundown, and they answer the WhatsApp group fairly quickly and rectify potential problems quickly It is different groups and tour guides every day (unexpected for us since we thought we'd have one guide and group of people for the whole 6 days) so the quality of the tours highly depend on the guide you get that day. Our guides for Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley were awesome, the guide for Maras was only ok. For the most part the guides did great ensuring everyone in the group respected the times and we got adequate time for everything on the itinerary. Only small hiccups is again that it is different people each day so if there is a communication lapse it can get confusing. For example at Aguas Calientes the guy who took us to the hotel told us to meet him at the lobby 945. He never came and when we asked the Kantu rep another person was supposed to meet us at the bus stop but then that person had the wrong name on her whiteboard so we walked up and down trying to find her. Just something to consider there may be human error that makes things not so smooth sometimes. However the reps do their best to respond and fix problems quickly
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your detailed feedback! We truly appreciate your kind words about Franklin and our team’s dedication to providing clear communication and support throughout your trip. It’s wonderful to know that the itineraries and pre-tour briefings helped reduce stress and made your experience smoother. We also value your honest observations regarding the different guides and occasional communication challenges. We strive to maintain consistent quality across all tours and will continue working to improve coordination to minimize any confusion. Thank you for highlighting both the positives and the areas where we can grow — your feedback is invaluable for us to enhance our services. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future!

Great, fun filled tour
Had a wonderful tour with Kantu tours. Everything from airport pick up to hotels and tour days was so well organised with Daniel making sure everything was perfect. Special shout out also to Wilson who drove us most days and Rafa who guided us the first couple of days, they were both excellent. And Joel who managed to get us all to the top of rainbow mountain with such patience.

6-Day Tour of Cusco and Machu Picchu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 6-Day Tour of Cusco and Machu Picchu cost?
+
Prices start at $663 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 Tour of Cusco 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 Tour of Cusco and Machu Picchu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 22 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 Tour of Cusco 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 Tour of Cusco and Machu Picchu 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 Tour of Cusco and Machu Picchu?
+
Around 8 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 Tour of Cusco 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, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, 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.
