    Excellent travel company

    From the start, we had excellent service from Exploor Peru. The coordination was impressive. We did the 2 day Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu tour. The guides were excellent throughout; the cars comfortable and the drivers very good. We enjoyed the two days immensely without having to worry about logistics as everything was taken care of exactly as promised. We would highly recommend Exploor Peru.

    So much better than expected!

    Every turn of a corner produced a pleasant surprise or something better than we expected. The guides were so knowledgeable and the drivers were so adept!!! (Drivers in Cusco are a MUST!) the communication was clear and prompt. One night my phone fell out in the car, and I didn’t notice until about 15 minutes after the driver had gone. We texted the company, they got in touch with the driver who immediately checked his car, found it, and returned to the hotel All within 30 minutes!!!! I was so panicked but they were so good!I will definitely use Exploor again!!! Thank you so much!

    Response from the operator: Hi Becky, thank you for this lovely review - and what a story about the phone! That kind of moment can really make or break a trip, and we're so glad our team and driver responded so quickly to get it back to you within 30 minutes. It's a great example of what we mean when we say we look after our guests end to end. So happy to hear that every corner of the journey brought a pleasant surprise - that's exactly what Peru does best! We can't wait to welcome you back to South America one day! Best wishes from the entire Exploor Peru team

    Exceptional organising for a memorable experience

    Planning a visit to Cusco at short notice took some effort and Exploor were amazing to make sure that we fit everything in within the short timeframe of our visit and at short notice. Finding us Machu Picchu tickets was amazing and then coordinating everything else was also amazing. Very quick response and a very detailed plan. The drivers and tour guides for both days were exceptional and had a lot of knowledge. It made the trip to Cusco effortless and memorable.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this - it's great to hear that everything came together despite the short notice! Securing last-minute Machu Picchu tickets is never easy, so we're especially pleased we could make that happen for you. Getting the full Cusco experience into a tight timeframe takes a bit of coordination, but that's exactly what we're here for. We're also glad the guides and drivers left a good impression - they really are the heart of every trip. We hope the next visit to South America comes with a little more time to spare! Best wishes from our entire Exploor Peru team!

    Trip of a lifetime

    We had an amazing experience on our tour. The entire trip was very well planned, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. At first, we thought the walk to lunch was a bit far, but the meal at Café Inkaterra was absolutely delicious and completely worth it — it truly made up for the distance. We’re especially grateful to Maik for making our time in the Sacred Valley so special. His explanations at Moray were insightful and easy to understand, and he created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the day. Rosa was also incredibly kind and thoughtful. She genuinely cared about our experience and even ensured we reached the train station smoothly, which we really appreciated. We also want to thank our driver for taking the longer but safer route, and for kindly waiting for us for over half an hour due to the train delay. A big thank you as well to Roger, who was always informative and patient in answering all my questions. His support helped make our Machu Picchu tour even more meaningful and memorable. Thank you to the whole team for the wonderful memories!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words, we’re truly happy to hear you had such a smooth and memorable experience. Thank you for trusting us with your journey, we hope to welcome you back to South America one day! Best wishes from our entire Exploor Peru team

    Outstanding Private Tour!!

    Fantastic custom private tour with Exploor! Flawless from start to finish. Excellent communication throughout. We worked with Konsti to curate a trip that included all hotels and transfers. The guides were outstanding. Thorough with many additional elements you do not have with large groups. All transfers were on time and we were accompanied into the airport for our flights and met upon arrival. When there was an issue with PeruRail, Exploor maintained constant communication guiding us to the best possible outcome and had a driver waiting for us despite the late night. The use of WhatsApp made the process so easy and all details of the upcoming day were sent out well in advance, including pictures of our transfer agent and guides. They also loaded all tickets and details with TripPlans app. Worked perfectly on or offline. We highly recommend Exploor for your travel plans!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review, Bob! We’re delighted to hear that your custom private tour was flawless from start to finish and that the planning with Konsti helped create exactly the experience you were looking for. We’re especially glad our team could support you through the PeruRail situation and ensure you were well taken care of, even late at night. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us. Best wishes from our entire Exploor Peru team.

    Best of Cusco in 2-Days: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Free Airport Pickup: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Best of Cusco in 2-Days: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Free Airport Pickup cost?

    +

    Prices start at $629 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 Best of Cusco in 2-Days: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Free Airport Pickup take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Best of Cusco in 2-Days: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Free Airport Pickup worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 Best of Cusco in 2-Days: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Free Airport Pickup?

    +

    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 Best of Cusco in 2-Days: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Free Airport Pickup suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Best of Cusco in 2-Days: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Free Airport Pickup?

    +

    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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Best of Cusco in 2-Days: Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Free Airport Pickup 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.

    +

    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.
