Group tour of nurses from the U.K.
There are 33 of us nurses from the U.K. on a group tour to Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchu and Puno for almost two weeks. We also visited the rainbow mountain and lake Titicaca. We had a fantastic time exploring beautiful places, learning history, visiting the fascinating archeological sites, understanding the culture and enjoying the company of avd meeting wonderful people of Peru. Inca Trilogy tours looked after our group very well from start to finish. The staff who accompanied us on a tour - Camila, Nicolle, Ashley and Swan were amazing! They worked above and beyond round the clock to ensure we had the best experience - from transport, to guided tour, to lunches etc. Going to Peru was a bit challenging due to the high altitude related sickness and headache, and you’d need a reliable tour company - and Inca Trilogy delivered an excellent service all throughout. Highly recommenced!!! Thank you so much for the phenomenal experience!

Disaster
This tour was a painful mess for me. It's not a private tour and the entire itinerary is subpar and seems to have been designed for backpacking kids. Everything was very low quality. I had to constantly work behind the scenes and pay other people and businesses to upgrade my activities so that it wasn't a disaster. I eventually just abandoned the tour and proceeded on my own. This tour and company book the lowest quality accommodations and services. Steer clear. The agent tried to assist me via text but she could only do so much because the company owner was not active and could not be contacted.
Response from the operator: You did indeed book your trip with us; however, the information stated in your review does not reflect the reality of what occurred. From the very beginning, all reservations were managed exactly as outlined in the itinerary you received prior to your purchase. The hotels — all 3-star category — were presented to you in advance and approved by you before we proceeded with confirmation, as clearly stated in our service description. Our tours are personalized, with carefully planned itineraries, qualified guides, and private or shared tourist transportation as contracted. In your case, every activity and visit was delivered as agreed. If you later chose to modify part of the itinerary on your own and hire additional services from third parties, that was a personal decision outside of our organization’s responsibility. We would like to emphasize that, throughout the entire process, our team maintained constant and professional communication, addressing your concerns and supporting you even in situations beyond our control. Unfortunately, on several occasions, our staff — guides, drivers, and office team — were subjected to inappropriate comments and attitudes from you. Nevertheless, we always attended to you respectfully and worked to provide immediate solutions whenever an issue arose. It’s important to note that the accommodations and other services we offer are part of strategic partnerships with local operators who are committed to maintaining high-quality standards. Should any issue occur, our policy is to address it promptly and efficiently, as was done in your case. At Inca Trilogy Tours, we work every day to deliver safe, authentic, and quality experiences while honoring what we promise. We do not believe it is fair for negative reviews to be posted based on minor details or personal preference differences, nor for the publication of a review to be conditioned upon receiving a refund. Our commitment to every traveler is to offer our very best, and we will continue doing so with the same dedication and transparency that define us.

Incredible holidays touring several cities in Peru
It's a very reliable company. Every time we asked something we were answered instantly in the Whastapp group, before and during the holidays. We had an amazing time, all the activities in Peru exceeded our expectations. Excellent guides, super comfortable transfer vehicles, cute hotels. If we ever return to beautiful Peru, it is very likely that we will hire Inca Trilogy again. A big hug to the whole team!

Un fuerte abrazo a ustedes también, y gracias por confiar en nosotros. 😊🌟

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
7-Day Tour of Lima, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does 7-Day Tour of Lima, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 7-Day Tour of Lima, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 168 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 Lima is not rushed.
Is 7-Day Tour of Lima, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 7-Day Tour of Lima, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and Cusco?
+
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 7-Day Tour of Lima, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 7-Day Tour of Lima, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and Cusco?
+
Around 6 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 Lima 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 Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 7-Day Tour of Lima, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and 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 Lima 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 Lima?
+
On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Peruvian Cooking Class, Local Market Tour & Exotic Fruit Tasting, The Complete Lima Experience: History, Culture & Flavors, #1 Rated Lima Cooking Class: Make Ceviche, Causa & Pisco Sours!. 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 Lima?
+
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 Lima?
+
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.
