TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE- DO NOT BOOK WITH CONDE!
When we are done with the citadel he tells to go to a line to get to the mountain. Then it turns out it’s the wrong line. We go somewhere else and then he starts arguing with the security guard. Then we go to a third line and since I wanted to go to the restroom he stands in line but when I return he left the line and just tells me to stand in the now much much longer line. 7- Jonathan seemed to be judgmental and sexist in his comments. First he says he doesn’t like doing these 2 days tours. He makes fun of Americans for wanting coffee and young people for wanting to just “have fun”. 8-8- We didn’t have enough to climb Machu Picchu mountain all the way so we turn around about 2/3 of the way. We get to the vans by 245 and we are surprised to see that they are all leaving even though he said 3 pm. We get on a van and then 3 minutes later the van stops and we are asked to leave the van and joins another van. We later found out that we were moved because someone didn’t like the smell on the van which I agree it smelled horrid but the question is why were we moved ? The van was filled with people who hiked all day and sweaty with their backpacks filling the van that we couldn’t even get to the back. It was not air conditioned. Someone started throwing up middle of the way and we stopped 2 hrs for construction !! So overall, don’t book with Conde travel because while this experience could have been amazing .. it was very frustrating for no reason.

Best trip of a lifetime!
We had the best time with Eduardo thru Conde travel! We did the three day Machu Picchu trip with white water rafting and zip line, and bike ride. Eduardo took great care of us the entire time and he was our personal interpreter. He always made sure we were well cared for. The equipment and staff were amazing! Thanks for the time of my life!!
Response from the operator: Good afternoon sir, thank you for sharing in our local company in Cusco, every problem we are to improve for the clients who visit Peru, thanks a big hug from Count Travel

Excellent Tour Services
We booked 3 different activities with Conde Travel before we landed in Perú and added a 4th while we were in the country. From the beginning they provided us with excellent service. I was in constant contact via WhatsApp with Flor, my tour rep and she was always available to answer my questions and /or make any changes I requested ( even during after work hours! ) The driver’s always picked us up on time , everyone was very polite and all the tours were well organized. I even asked for an activity that was not listed on their services page and they made it happen for us. Very good service

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Machu Picchu by Bus with Overnight: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Machu Picchu by Bus with Overnight cost?
+
Prices start at $185 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 Machu Picchu by Bus with Overnight take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Machu Picchu by Bus with Overnight worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 9 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 Machu Picchu by Bus with Overnight?
+
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 Machu Picchu by Bus with Overnight 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 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu by Bus with Overnight?
+
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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Machu Picchu by Bus with Overnight 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, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), 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.
