Qorikancha
Next to the tour guide we will advance a few blocks to the famous Coricancha temple, the most important of the Inca empire. There you will tour the best-worked constructions and temples of the sun, moon, stars and more.

Sacsayhuaman
Then the whole group will board the minivan transport to the fortress of Sacsayhuaman where they will visit the immense walls made of rocks up to 120 tons. How did the Incas mold these stones?
40 minutes here · Admission included
Q'enqo
In Qenqo you can find several spaces in little space. There you can find a large stone with carvings that make you think it is a ceremonial space. As well as tunnels with constructions that still cannot be explained correctly.
25 minutes here · Admission included
Puka Pukara
It's considered a military fort. It has the presence of some spaces with finely carved stones and also walkery. This Inca site allows you to appreciate beautiful landscapes and have a strong relationship with Tambomachay.
40 minutes here · Admission included
Tambomachay
It seems to be a large and extensive place dedicated to water. That is, a ceremonial temple to worship water. This is because it has Inca constructions with finely carved stones, as in the main temples of Cusco and Machu Picchu.

Unforgettable, awesome.
Excellent guide, Daylet helped us in everything. I had a special request, for no couple, and I helped myself impressively, photos, videos. He helped us from the night before, talk for preparations, until the same day of the tour, with admission, buses. How to tell the story of the shrine. Impressive truth. 100 points.
Response from the operator: Hola David, muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia tan especial con nosotros. En Machu Picchu Terra nos encanta acompañar a nuestros viajeros en momentos únicos como el suyo. ¡Le agradecemos por su confianza y esperamos recibirlos nuevamente para vivir otra aventura inolvidable!

Made the right choice with Machu Picchu Terra team!
Machu Picchu Terra made sure we had a great time in Cusco. We had Raul as our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable in showing us around city and its ruins. Love how he focused on the Inkan history and culture. The Machu Picchu Terra team was also very communicative via Whatsapp whenever we had questions or concerns. We also booked our Sacred Valley tour and Machu Picchu Circuit 2 Guide with them. Request for Yersino for MP! Same as Raul, he shared a lot about Inkan history and architecture. He had a nice and effective way of sharing stories about the Inkas.
Response from the operator: Hello Sheila, thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu, and that everything was well organized so that you could make the most of every moment. Greetings from Cusco, the archaeological capital of America.

A top excursion
A fantastic experience. Coco and his driver Teo were 10. The transfer to the different places is done in a very comfortable and new van. The explanations of the guide very practical and always adapted to the needs of our group.
Response from the operator: Hola Andrés ¡Nos alegra mucho que hayas disfrutado tu experiencia! Es genial saber que el servicio fue cómodo, bien organizado y con un guía atento que hizo el recorrido más interesante y adaptado al grupo. Gracias por confiar en nosotros para descubrir los encantos de la región.

DON'T BE LATE FOR YOUR TOUR! WE ALMOST MISSED MACHU PICHU! GUIDES SHOULD BE EARLY OR ON TIME!
Coco ended up being a fabulous and fun tour guide ONCE WE FINALLY MET UP WITH HIM! Almost missed the MAIN REASON WE CAME! It's very upsetting to feel panicked in a huge crowd of people looking for our guide! Coco was great, but not answering his phone and not being at the meeting spot (then changing the meeting spot 20 minutes before our ticket time was EXTREMELY UPSETTING AND UNPROFESSIONAL!) We DID enjoy our tour, but we came very far to experience this and almost missing it should NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Coco was a fabulous and entertaining guide during your visit to Machu Picchu. We love knowing that we were able to contribute to such a special moment and that you took home beautiful memories of this magical place. Thank you for choosing us to accompany you on this adventure.

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
City Shared Tour in Cusco: City and Four Ruins: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does City Shared Tour in Cusco: City and Four Ruins cost?
+
Prices start at $84 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 City Shared Tour in Cusco: City and Four Ruins take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 City Shared Tour in Cusco: City and Four Ruins worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 8 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 City Shared Tour in Cusco: City and Four Ruins?
+
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 City Shared Tour in Cusco: City and Four Ruins suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book City Shared Tour in Cusco: City and Four Ruins?
+
Around 3 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Shared Tour in Cusco: City and Four Ruins 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.
