    Very good 🔥🙂

    Had an excellent 2 day experience. With guided tour to Machu Picchu, and accommodation in Aguas Calientes. Stayed the day before. And the guide James David gave us a great experience, by providing good interesting information, as well as being nice and helpful. And take good pictures of us, without demanding anything for it. All in all, a very good experience. Recommended.

    Memorable Machu Picchu

    Karen really made our Machu Picchu trip go off without a hitch. Our trip to Peru was a last minute decision and obtaining tickets for Machu Picchu proved to be quite confusing. Some sources said the ministry of culture would be open on Sundays, some said it would be open only at 3pm, some tour agencies said they have tickets already that they can transfer to your name. It was a daunting task to be able to sift through it to know what was actually true. In came Karen and her partner who explained to us the service she provides – all train/bus tickets, transport to get you to the stations to catch those transfers, guidance in lining up for and obtaining the actual tickets for Machu Picchu (this needs to be done by you as they’ll need your passport), and a tour guide during your walk through the Machu Picchu circuit you chose. Our tour guide Juan David was knowledgeable, humorous, and really passionate about his job as a tour guide and really cared about the details of the experience. Thank you Juan David ^_^ Overall, we felt really taken care of during this experience. The private transport driver would send Karen a picture to make sure we’re picked up and safe, Juan David also received numerous calls to make sure we’re now in the hands of the guide and the tour was going well. Karen and her partner even met us when we finally got back to Cusco at 9:30pm at night to make sure our experience went well and dropped us off a gift! They really went above and beyond!! Overall, this service made our lives so much easier and really made everything on the ground much easier when trying to book things from abroad. I would definitely recommend you give them a chance if you’re considering Machu Picchu. Book with them and you won’t have to worry about a thing. Karen, her partner, Juan David, you are all the BEST ❤️

    Incredible experience!

    Excellent management, organization and customer service. I went to visit Machu Picchu for a couple of days and booked this tour, they took care of all the procedures (purchase and distribution of transportation tickets: bus, train, entrance to the park, as well as telling me step by step the route from Cusco to In addition, unfortunately I fell ill one day, and they were in charge of accompanying me to the medical center, finding new bus and bus combinations for me, and staying an additional night at the hostel. The treatment received was unbeatable and I highly recommend this tour to everyone. For those who want to go to Machu Picchu and are not very clear about the management and organization, I recommend it 100%.

    Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive): questions travelers ask

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

    How does Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) compare to similar tours in Cusco?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 63. At $275 it sits above the typical similar option ($37), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.

    Who is Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 48-hour length, all-ages access and non-refundable terms.

    Is Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $275, above the $37 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.

    How much does Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $275 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 Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) 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 Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive)?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive)?

    +

    Around 4 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 Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) 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), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). 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.

Not included: breakfast on the first morning and lunch on the second day of the tour; bus from aguas calientes to Machupicchu and back; train rides; and entrance to hot springs.

    Does Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) offered in?

    +

    Is Machu Picchu By Car 2 Days (All Inclusive) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
