    Not worth my money

    This is the most expensive tour I ever paid for and I didn't get the value for my money. I'm not sure if it is because I didn't book the circuit 2 so that I can go with a group? I thought this tour is gonna be like a whole group going to machu picchu, but instead I was by myself, asking everyone which train I should be going to or if I'm waiting in the correct station, same with the bus, like where is the line, everyone and signs are all in spanish. My only guide was the person in WhatsApp who gave me my tickets and everything else was a blurr! Also the lunch (a la carte) that was provided was terrible. I paid for lesser than this in my other tours with breakfast and lunch BUFFETS!

    Response from the operator: We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to point out that all the necessary information was sent to you before the tour began, and we also explained in advance what the guided tour service at Machu Picchu would entail—a detail that was coordinated with you and accepted by you beforehand. We regret that the experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your feedback, as it will help us continue to improve our services.

    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 $350 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 11 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 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (1/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu Full day Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Machu Picchu Full day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-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 0 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 11-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: Bilingual guide for circuit 2 only (between 8 and 11 a.m.); Transportation from your hotel in Cusco to Ollantaytambo or Poroy train station, and back; Expedition or Voyager tourist train tickets; Round-trip bus tickets from Aguas Calientes to the Machu Picchu; and Lunch in Aguas Calientes (tourist menu). Not included: Extra expenses; food not mentioned; Entrance to Machu Picchu (Subject to space availability, Check with your sales agent); and Guided on other circuits (circuit 1 or 3) only private service. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Machu Picchu Full day Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 32 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Machu Picchu Full day Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in 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 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: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. 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?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cusco. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
