Recommended Enterprise.
It's really good. The assistance of Vanessa Ccanto that guided us throughout the process helped us a lot from hiring to operating the tours. We had little time to organize and she gave us the best possible itinerary depending on the time we had available. I have no complaints.
Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir tu experiencia! Nos alegra enormemente saber que todo salió tan bien y que Vanessa Ccanto fue ese apoyo clave durante todo el proceso. Sabemos que a veces el tiempo es corto, por eso nos llena de orgullo que hayamos podido ayudarte a aprovecharlo al máximo con un itinerario a tu medida. ¡Qué gusto saber que todo fluyó sin contratiempos! Aquí en InfoCusco siempre estaremos listos para recibirlos nuevamente. ¡Cusco los espera con más aventuras!

With Infocusco present, just enjoy!!!!
I visited many years ago Peru with its wonderful Cuzo through Infocusco. I knew I was coming back at some point. I did not hesitate to contact Infocusco again and not only confirmed the level of excellence it provides but exceeded my expectations!!! The attention from the day we contacted each other, during and after our trip, was incomparable. We were able to make many more visits than the tour of Cusco, including obviously Machupichu, always counting on the kindness and professionalism of the coordinator Vanessa Canto!!! As a tourist they made me feel like one more local, taking care of the smallest details!!! I would return a thousand more times!!!! Huge thanks, also for our Holy Guide, in the city of Machupichu
Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por tu maravilloso comentario! Nos alegra profundamente saber que tu experiencia con InfoCusco ha sido tan positiva y que decidiste volver a confiar en nosotros para tu regreso a Perú. Nos enorgullece haber superado tus expectativas y ofrecerte una atención incomparable desde el primer contacto, durante todo el viaje y después. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de las múltiples visitas, incluyendo, por supuesto, Machu Picchu, y que nuestra coordinadora Vanessa Ccanto te brindó un servicio amable y profesional. Nos emociona saber que te hicimos sentir como una lugareña más, cuidando cada detalle para que tu experiencia fuera perfecta. Agradecemos enormemente tus palabras y el reconocimiento a nuestro guía Santo en Machu Picchu. ¡Esperamos tener el placer de recibirte muchas más veces en el futuro! ¡Hasta pronto y mil gracias!

Could be better
It’s nice to have a van to take you to these places. Uber is an an option if you want to do it on your own. The tour should start an hour earlier to give us more time to visit the different places.

Very professional agency
!They are great! We traveled from Spain to Peru. At all times waiting for us. We were with them for several days, they organized a tour for us from Cusco (Laguna Humantay, Machu Picchu, 7 colors....) I would repeat without hesitation.
Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir tu experiencia! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de tu viaje desde España y que pudimos acompañarte en estas increíbles aventuras por Cusco, la Laguna Humantay, Machu Picchu y la Montaña de 7 Colores. 🏞️✨ Es un honor saber que cumplimos tus expectativas y que repetirías con nosotros. 😊 Siempre estaremos aquí para ayudarte a vivir más experiencias inolvidables en Perú. ¡Te esperamos con los brazos abiertos para tu próxima visita! 🇵🇪🌟

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
City Tour in Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does City Tour in Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Tour in Cusco 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 Tour in Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City Tour in 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 City Tour in Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. 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 Tour in Cusco?
+
Around 2 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 Tour in 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 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.
