Walking tour of Cusco
Very knowledgeable guide! Very fit too. He knew a lot about the town! He was flexible. Cusco is a nice town. The sky is blue and lots of vendors and streets. There was a parade today.

Never happened
They cancelled the tour and I left to do other things. Then they sent a WhatsApp saying they were leaving to the tour at 2:04p. I understand due to the protest; however I tried to call the number given on the app and no one answered. I need a refund. None of this was my fault.
Response from the operator: I don’t understand why are you trying to tarnish my reputation. I never canceled the tour I waited for you for more than 30 minutes, I wrote you through Viator, through WhatsApp with no reply from your part. 46 minutes later you tried to call me? I am sorry but you are not the only one in these tours and it’s your fault if you cannot manage your tours and schedules on time.

Excellent tour!
We absolutely loved the tour and our guide! We learned so much about the city and history of the Inca peoples. Waldo was fantastic with his time and information. He even spent an extra 30 minutes with us!
Response from the operator: Glad you enjoyed the walking tour!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cusco City Walking tour: Historia, Tradition, Culture: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Cusco City Walking tour: Historia, Tradition, Culture cost?
+
Prices start at $5 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 Cusco City Walking tour: Historia, Tradition, Culture take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Cusco City Walking tour: Historia, Tradition, Culture worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 3 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 Cusco City Walking tour: Historia, Tradition, Culture?
+
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 Cusco City Walking tour: Historia, Tradition, Culture suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cusco City Walking tour: Historia, Tradition, Culture?
+
Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cusco City Walking tour: Historia, Tradition, Culture 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.
