Great Service and a Wonderful City Tour Experience

We booked the tour at the last minute after arriving in Cusco. The company “Tour Machu Picchu Best” responded immediately and organized everything perfectly. We had a great experience with this city tour. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Cusco.

Not as advertised

This company adds additional tourist trap stops into the itinerary and always starts at Qorikancha (not ending there as the itinerary states). It's also 20 soles entry to Qorikancha, not 15 as advertised. If you're not opting for the cheapest tour because it includes a stop at an Alpaca farm and shop, and choosing this one instead - DON'T! At least the other companies are upfront about including it - unlike this one. The guide, Freddy, became very aggressive and threatened to leave me behind when I asked if we could get going after the allotted 30mins were up in the shop. We ended up spending one hour in the overpriced shop and only 15 mins at Tambomachay (inc the 5min walk each way) and 5 mins at Pukapukara. Barely 20mins at the attractions we paid to see and an hour in an unscheduled and unlisted shop. Oh and the guide then refused to translate the last 2 stops into English for me. Disgraceful.

A Day Well Spent

This trip served as an excellent introduction to Cusco and Incan civilization. Alexander, my guide took a great effort in explaining every bit in detail which i found to be interesting and helpful. I totally reccomend this tour while you are acclimatising in Cusco.

Good Orientation

We did this on our first day and it was an excellent trip. Apart from getting to know about the place and it's outskirts we also got a good information about the people, their lives and Incan civilization. The guide knew a lot and was very nice at explaining things. I totally recommend this tour.

City tour : Qoricancha, sacsayhuaman, qenqo, tambomachay: questions travelers ask

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

How much does City tour : Qoricancha, sacsayhuaman, qenqo, tambomachay 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 : Qoricancha, sacsayhuaman, qenqo, tambomachay take?

+

Plan for about 5.5 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 : Qoricancha, sacsayhuaman, qenqo, tambomachay worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 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 : Qoricancha, sacsayhuaman, qenqo, tambomachay?

+

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 : Qoricancha, sacsayhuaman, qenqo, tambomachay 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 5.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book City tour : Qoricancha, sacsayhuaman, qenqo, tambomachay?

+

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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does City tour : Qoricancha, sacsayhuaman, qenqo, tambomachay 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.
