    Amazing tour to Machupicchu

    From start to finish our tour was amazing. We were picked up, on time, from our hotel and transported to the bus terminal. From there we waited all of 5 minutes and then loaded onto the bus and headed to the train station, about 1.5 hours. Once at the train terminal we were able to have a snack, coffee, and bathroom break. Our tour director was there and we were able to follow our group easily. We even received a little "show" on our way down the road to the train. The train ride was beautiful. One we arrived our new tour guide was there waiting on us and we were directed to join another group up to Machupicchu, which was fine. Our guide, Carlos, was wonderful about telling the history of Machupicchu and all the buildings, he seemed to be showing us more than the other tours, he really knew how to hold our attention and was a great story teller. I learned so much! After we had time to have a wonderful lunch and time to walk around the markets before heading back to Cusco. I recommend this tour to anyone, we really had a wonderful day.

    Best Experience in Peru

    Before I arrived in Peru I was already communicating with Coco, and he helped feel at ease and confident with booking trips and transportation with him. From the very start he was friendly and helpful. Coco helped me and my husband have an amazing trip in Peru. I highly recommend his services ☺️ He goes above and beyond for visitors.

    Amazing day tour!

    We had an amazing time going with coko to machu picchu! He is super friendly, patient and organised. He organised the whole trip, bought all the tickets and picking us up at the hotel early morning to bring us 9n the adventure to the mountain. I felt that I could just relax and enjoy the tour because he had everything under control. He knows alot about machu picchu and I learned alot during the day. I would recommend going with him there and would love to return myself!

    Incredible Tour Guide!

    I actually used Coco for three tours. Sacred Valley, Machu Pichu and Rainbow Mountain. Coco is an outstanding tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about history and nature. He is also extremely calm and kind. He is a safe driver and also takes safely precautions such as bringing oxygen to Rainbow Mountain. Coco goes out of his way to bring you a personalized, magical experience. He made my week in Cusco extremely memorable. Coco also takes great photos of you in amazing spots - he knows all the best angles and tricks! I one million percent recommend him for any tours you wish to take. You will have and amazing time and also make a good friend. Thank you Coco!

    Coco is the best!

    Coco is the best! He picked us up in a clean, modern van and was super friendly in explaining, funny too :) All the transport was organized, which is complicated for Machu Picchu (train, then bus, then entrance tickets..) and we appreciated. Great communication beforehand. Once at Machu Picchu too and seeing the other guides, I was convinced we had picked the best one. He even got us a 2nd guide for our big group. The price is incredibly reasonable too and much better than what you find with other companies.

    Machu Picchu Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Machu Picchu Full Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $385 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 Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu Full 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 Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu Full Day Tour?

    +

    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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Machu Picchu Full 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 Full Day Tour?

    +

    Included: Briefing information about the tour one night before; Round trip train tickets Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; Bus tickets to Machupicchu; Entrance ticket for Machupicchu; and Round trip transportation Cusco to Ollantaytambo. Not included: Extra costs; Not mentioned meals; and Gratitude. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Machu Picchu Full Day Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 609 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Machu Picchu Full Day Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian 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 Full 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 Full Day Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

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

    What happens to Machu Picchu Full 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.
