Best tour
Oswald made sure we had a fantastic trip from booking to completion. He answered all questions, provided information and tickets, and made sure we had all the contacts. From taxis, bus, and train, we really got to experience the whole trip and learn about the area, including the sacrad valley. The Day trip was exactly how he said it would be. We really enjoyed the tour of Machu Picchu. It was a wonderful experience. I recommend booking with Oswald.

Maravilla mundial
The company we counted on served us very well and solved our problems. We didn't have tickets and they got those tickets to Machupicchu for us. Attention was very good and pleasant, they were very attentive and punctual with the service... I really liked Machupicchu and my family she fell in love with the place I highly recommend this company thank you

Machu Picchu Made Easy
The tour company made this trip very easy and memorable. I was very limited on time, and had to make a flight from Cusco back to Lima on the night of the tour. Oswaldo, the tour operator, even went to pick up our luggage from the hotel and met us back at the bus station so we could go straight to the airport. Service on this tour was impecable from booking till completion. Communication is started from the time the tour is confirmed till the very end. This is the best tour company ever. We got picked up bright and early at the hotel. We were driven 2 hours to Ollentaytambo to hop on the train to Aguas Calliente. The train ride was amazing. The views were beautiful. Words don’t do it justice. The staff on the train were super helpful too. They are extremely receptive to their passengers. Once at Aguas Callientes I met my Machu Picchu tour guide Edwin. We took a bus from Aguas Calliente up to Machu Picchu. We saw people hiking it and I know I would be done for the day just after the hike up. That bus leaves you fresh for the Machu Picchu experience. Once in Machu Picchu, you take a tour all over Machu Picchu. Edwin listened to what we wanted to see and tailored the experience to what we wanted and to my physical capabilities. He gave me plenty of time to rest but kept talking during all the rests. I learned a great deal about Machu Picchu. I’m a big guy in my 40’s that lives at sea level. The rests that the tour guide took made the trip enjoyable. We had told the tour guide we wanted to try Cuy (Guinea Pig) but probably wouldn’t have time since it took 40 min to prepare. Edwin arranged with the restaurant to have it prepared and ready for us when we arrived. He called the restaurant to let them know we were on our way down so it would be ready to eat when we arrived. I won’t ruin the Cuy experience for you by giving my opinion. Everyone should try to explore different cultures. I say give it a try. The trip back to Cusco was easy as well and basically a reverse of arrival journey. We had one exception. From Ollentaytambo we took a Perurail bus back to Cusco which was easy and comfortable. . Oswaldo, the tour operator, had picked up our luggage from the hotel and met us at the bus stop so we could make our flight back to Lima. This trip was a once in a lifetime experience and it was made easy on this tour. I tried to research everything on my own but got so frustrated with all the rules, coordinating and hassle of doing it. This tour took all of my worries and concerns out of the equation and let me focus on having a memorable experience. I truly recommend this tour.

Machu Picchu Made Easy
The views on the train and at Machu Picchu were amazing. The tour company also made the trip simple.
via Viator
Amazing place, great tour guide, poorly constructed package.
**The 2 star rating is for this deal not the trip or tour guide itself. Those were all great. ** Machu Pichu is a picture perfect destination, the tour within the city was great, however the process after the tour was confusing. This package includes pickup and drop off but the tour itself is only about 2-2.5 hours and this package was a whole day event. In other words from the time our tour was over we needed to kill about 3 hours before we could catch the train back to Cusco. The train ride back was about 2 hours longer than the initial ride because we were getting dropped off in a different area than from our pickup, we didn’t know why. From the train station a bus is supposed to have picked us up, but they left us after I went into the restroom for 5 minutes, luckily we caught a taxi. If you are going to Machu Pichu buy your ticket in advance, get to the train station early and book your guide at the site. It would be a lot cheaper and you don’t have to wait on anyone’s schedule, just my opinion.

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Machu Picchu Full Day from Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Machu Picchu Full Day from Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $348 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 Full Day from Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Full Day from Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 125 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu Full Day from Cusco?
+
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 Full Day from Cusco 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 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu Full Day from Cusco?
+
Around 44 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Machu Picchu Full Day from Cusco 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.
