Macchi Piccu and more. See Peru highlights and experience nature and history come alive.
We went on Aludi’s Machu Piccu tour and added tours with them for Cusco Ruins, Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain and Huamantay Lake. We had 5 tour days total. We received specialized attention from the guides especially at Machu Piccu. The guides were well informed and excellent. The tour price for the week was very affordable. Everything was included. On a couple of the longer hikes we purchased horseback sections. The views were outstanding. Early starts on some tour dates to get from Cusco to sites. Trips needed to leave early so we could get to locations outside of Cusco, safely complete drive and tour and return before sunset. I highly recommend Aludi. They can tailor tours to your interests.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Joseph for your kind words! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with us, especially your experience at Machu Picchu and the additional tours around Cusco. It’s great to know our guides made a positive impact and that you appreciated the organization and value of the البرنامج. Those early starts are definitely worth it for the incredible views—and we’re glad you got to enjoy them (even with a little help from horseback along the way! 🐎). It was a pleasure assisting you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Peru! Warm regards, Aludi Travel Team

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Machu Picchu Full Day with lunch by Aludi Travel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Machu Picchu Full Day with lunch by Aludi Travel cost?
+
Prices start at $359 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 with lunch by Aludi Travel take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 with lunch by Aludi Travel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 58 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 with lunch by Aludi Travel?
+
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 with lunch by Aludi Travel suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 14-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu Full Day with lunch by Aludi Travel?
+
Around 20 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Machu Picchu Full Day with lunch by Aludi Travel 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.
