Great way to learn a lot in half a day
We booked this last minute and it surpassed our expectations. It was great value for money, visiting the Koricancha Museum, Sacsayhuaman and other important sites, and the Alpaca sanctuary. Our guide, Alfredo, was very knowledgeable and a vivid storyteller, illustrating with his book of images to complement his narrative. The Alpaca/Llama sanctuary was very nice and you get to see and learn about the weaving of the Quecha ladies. I highly recommend this tour when you want something short, not a lot of hiking but still want to learn about the history behind Cusco and its region.

Superb support from Machupicchu Explore Ebenezer
We were put in touch with Aaron of Machupicchu Explore Ebenezer by a friend who highly recommended their personalized services. We communicated with Aaron via WhatsApp and with the assistance of his advice were able to put together a fantastic two week visit to Peru. This family firm and their selected associates made sure that we had the best experiences possible particularly in Cusco and Machu Picchu. Their costs were very reasonable and worth every penny. Their freely given advice on everything from which tickets to purchase for Machu Picchu, the trains, the buses, the money exchanges, the laundry services, and so much more was absolutely invaluable. We cannot recommend this family firm's services too highly. They were the key reason for this having been one of our best trips ever.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
City Tour of Cusco and Encounter with Alpacas and Llamas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does City Tour of Cusco and Encounter with Alpacas and Llamas cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 of Cusco and Encounter with Alpacas and Llamas take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 of Cusco and Encounter with Alpacas and Llamas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 of Cusco and Encounter with Alpacas and Llamas?
+
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 of Cusco and Encounter with Alpacas and Llamas suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book City Tour of Cusco and Encounter with Alpacas and Llamas?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Tour of Cusco and Encounter with Alpacas and Llamas 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.
