A fabulous trip
The trip itself was jam packed with so many things to do and see. Machu Picchu was the highlight of this trip for me and I’m so glad I did it through a tour! Willington our tour guide was absolutely fantastic! He went above and beyond for everyone every day and was so informative. I would highly recommend this tour, especially because of our guide Willington.
Response from the operator: Dear Clare, Your review reflects a busy and rewarding journey filled with places to discover and memories to take home. Willington will appreciate knowing that his guidance, helpfulness, and clear information made such a positive difference throughout the tour. Thank you for recommending the experience and for highlighting Machu Picchu as such a special part of your trip.

Amazing Peru experience
I cannot thank Valencia Travel enough for an amazing experience in Peru. The organisation, efficiency and support of the staff and the company were exemplary. In particular I want to complement our tour guide, Rene, whose knowledge was immense. Not only that but he went above and beyond to make the experience of our tour group easy and pleasurable. Unfortunately, due to family tragedy, he had to leave us before the end of the tour. We were lucky to have Smithy take over the group and see us through the rest of the tour. I would thoroughly recommend this tour company to anyone thinking of doing a tour of Peru.
Response from the operator: Your review reflects the kind of support and coordination that can make a journey through Peru feel effortless and truly enjoyable. Rene will be touched to know that his knowledge, dedication, and care made such a strong impact on your group before he had to leave due to a family emergency. We are also grateful for your recognition of Smit, the staff, and the overall organization behind the tour. Thank you for recommending Valencia Travel so highly

Macchu Pichu with Trip a Deal/Valencia
We are a couple in our early 80's and travelled with a group of 27 people of varying ages and abilities with Valencia Travel. Our guide, Ruben, was amazing and we cannot speak too highly of his care and attention. His knowledge and help was excellent and all arrangements were streamlined and went smoothly. Looking after 27 people is no mean feat but Ruben did it most professionally. We both suffered from the high altitude and Ruben made sure at all times that we didn't miss out on too much. I am an ex-Travel Agent and Tour Escort and I would rate Ruben 10 out of 10 and also note that Valencia Travel are excellent ground operators.
Response from the operator: We are delighted to know that your Machu Picchu experience with TripADeal and Valencia Travel was smooth, well organized, and carefully managed. It is especially meaningful to hear your recognition of Ruben’s care, knowledge, and professionalism while looking after a group of 27 people. We truly appreciate your 10 out of 10 rating and your kind words about Valencia Travel as ground operators.

Peru Adventure
Claudio Andia was a wonderful tour guide who showed great enthusiasm and attention to details through out our trip. Machu Picchu was a highlight for me but I also really enjoyed Lake Titicaca and the social interactions Claudio organised for us.
Response from the operator: We are glad to know that you enjoyed your Peru adventure. It is wonderful to hear that Claudio Andia guided you with enthusiasm and great attention to detail throughout the trip. Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, and the social interactions he organized sound like truly meaningful highlights. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
9-Day Inca Trail and Titicaca Lake in Group Service: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 9-Day Inca Trail and Titicaca Lake in Group Service cost?
+
Prices start at $1,593 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 9-Day Inca Trail and Titicaca Lake in Group Service take?
+
Plan for about 216 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 9-Day Inca Trail and Titicaca Lake in Group Service worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 114 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 9-Day Inca Trail and Titicaca Lake in Group Service?
+
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 9-Day Inca Trail and Titicaca Lake in Group Service suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 9-Day Inca Trail and Titicaca Lake in Group Service?
+
Around 40 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 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 9-Day Inca Trail and Titicaca Lake in Group Service 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.
