    Positive experience

    We made a private package for 2 couples. Until the closing, the attendant's attention was good. Then we had difficulty making contact in the WhatsApp group to get help with the airfare issue. Maybe it wasn't the agency's responsibility, so we made the reservations ourselves. We had to call the unit in Brazil to get information about the hotel reservations. However, overall, the experience during the trip was very positive. Isabel kept in contact the whole time. We had a problem at the hotel in Ollantaytambo because one of the couples' reservation, according to the reception, was made in accommodation much inferior to the other couple's. Fortunately, they managed to assign us to another room, much better. We had no problems with the other hotels, punctual transfers, the guides had good knowledge and were kind, the cars were new and comfortable. In the end, overall the package even surprised us with its quality.

    Bad company, run away.

    Worst travel company I've had the disappointment of meeting. Bad experience from beginning to end. I thought closing everything together would be more practical but it was much more expensive and completely poorly planned in all respects. It's not worth it.

    The agency left to be desired in all respects.

    The meals offered by the agency were very bad (one of the restaurants included larva in the food), with the exception of lunch in macchu picchu. The guides were always rushing the group to finish the tour earlier, even before the scheduled time, which hampered the experience. This behavior became worse on the colorful mountain walk, since the journey was more difficult, so the pressure to finish the walk led to a person having a bad time. We passed wrong times to start the tours and check out the hotel. Guides pressed to make the evaluation during the tours and in front of them. We sent the negative feedback directly to the company and did not get any feedback.

    Response from the operator: Olá Leila! Sentimos muito por qualquer inconveniente que possa ter ocorrido durante sua estadia. Acreditamos que tudo não passou de um mal-entendido na coordenação. No entanto, não queremos deixar que isso aconteça sem nos desculparmos. Atenciosamente, Viagens Machu Picchu.

    Epic adventure

    Right from the beginning to the end Viagens Machu Picchu took care of everything! Hotels and transportation was perfect. Tour guides Ana, Luz, Clara, Q and Ernesto were outstanding with all the knowledge they shared . I would do this vacation over again in a heartbeat! Machu Picchu is just amazing, something you need to see and experience in person

    Response from the operator: Hi! We are very happy to receive your comment, every review like yours fills us with pride and satisfaction. Count on us for your next adventure, receive a big hug from the whole Viagens Machu Picchu team.

    improve the tours

    The trip was good, but the agency needs to improve some details. Before boarding, I had a Hotel Reservation divergence. They put me in a hotel I hadn't chosen. After a lot of wear and complaints, they put me in the right hotel. The tours are with guides, but not all of them are willing to explain and give us information about the place, which is a pity because the history of the place is beautiful. Another agency error is the day we were transferred to Aguas Calientes. The Guide left us at the train station in Ollantaytambo at 16:30 hs and the train leaves only at 19:05hs. We could have stayed in the village longer and went to the station at 18 hours (one hour before the train departure) but the Guide was crazy to go away and we stayed without doing Nothing for more than 2 hours. In Machu Picchu I bought two routes with Guide (circuit 01 and 02) but we had Guide only on the circuit 02 the 01 we did ourselves without any explanation.

    Response from the operator: Olá Simone! Prezada Simone: Gostaríamos de agradecê-la por sua avaliação, cada comentário é importante para nós. Pedimos desculpas por alguma coordenação durante sua estada, mas acreditamos que tudo não passou de um mal-entendido. Todos os dias, nos esforçamos para oferecer um serviço de qualidade, e seu feedback é muito útil para nós. Conte conosco para sua próxima visita, receba um grande abraço de toda a equipe da Viagens Machu Picchu. Traduzido com a versão gratuita do tradutor - DeepL.com

    Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $936 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 & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 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 & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 84 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour?

    +

    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 & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour?

    +

    Around 29 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour 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.

    What is included in Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour?

    +

    Included: Round trip bus tickets from Aguas Calientes - Machu Picchu; Professional team on all tours and walks; 24 hour assistance in Spanish and English; Private transfers to the airport on each destination; and Lunch. Not included: Travel insurance; National or international air tickets; Food and drinks not mentioned above; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Cusco. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Machu Picchu & Cusco Traditional 5-Day Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
