Our tour to Machu Picchu was absolutely wonderful!
Our tour to Machu Picchu was absolutely wonderful! We were lucky to have a private guide, all thanks to Americo from Machu Picchu TC. He arranged everything perfectly – from the apartment and guide to the tickets, bus, and tour schedule. All we had to do was follow along and enjoy the experience. The guide was incredibly informative, patient with all our questions, and really helped us appreciate the beauty and history of Machu Picchu. Americo from Machu Picchu TC didn’t just assist us with our Machu Picchu tour, but also organized our entire trip to Puno as well as a fantastic 2-day tour through Ica, Nazca, and Paracas. Thank you, Americo and the Machu Picchu TC team, for taking such great care of us – we truly had an unforgettable experience!
Response from the operator: Hello, good morning. Thank you very much for your comment. We appreciate your reservation with us.

Unforgetable experience
Excellent personalized attention and impeccable organization. It has been an unforgettable experience and I recommend the agency without a doubt. The organization was impeccable: punctuality of all trips and excellent attention from the very professional guide at the Machu Picchu site who accompanied us on a personalized visit.

The best tour planner and guides
I was very satisfied with my experience with Americo and my guides in Machu Pichu. He plan every details about my trip. When I arrive to Aguascalientes he had someone waiting for me. Americo took the time to call me to tell me that during the time I had plan my trip there were no entries to Machu Pichu. He was clear of giving me the choice to still risk if I wanted to go and try to see if I get an entry but that I might had to wait in long lines and a few days. I was happy to know I could even get to Aguascalientes. He took care of every detail to make it happen and he and his team did. So I got an entry. I was very welcome upon my arrival and was taken care by the people at the hotel he booked.

Machu Picchu Full Day the Best Service: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sacred Valley.
How much does Machu Picchu Full Day the Best Service cost?
+
Prices start at $355 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sacred Valley 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 the Best Service take?
+
Plan for about 18 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 Sacred Valley is not rushed.
Is Machu Picchu Full Day the Best Service worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu Full Day the Best Service?
+
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 the Best Service suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 18-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu Full Day the Best Service?
+
Around 2 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 Sacred Valley 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 Sacred Valley and add a light layer if any part of the 18-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Machu Picchu Full Day the Best Service 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 Sacred Valley 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 Sacred Valley?
+
On Outty we rank every Sacred Valley experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco ( with Pisac), From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch, Machu Picchu Guided Tour from Aguas Calientes. 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 Sacred Valley?
+
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 Sacred Valley?
+
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.

(depending on availability, route 1 or 2 or 3b); and Transportation to Cusco-Ollantayatmbo-Cusco. Not included: Lunch; additional payment to the reservation; and bus in Machu Picchu.
