    Bad communication

    We did not have a good experience with the agency. The communication was awful, they waited days before answering my questions. I even had to contact Viator help. Until the day before I wasn’t even sure that they understood what I told them and if the tour was actually going to happen. They sent a man to our hotel the night before (they didn’t gave me a number or a name), we had a appointment but he did not came, the hotel had to call him for us. And then we he arrived and wanted us the change the hour of our tour, although we specifically asked for the 6 a.m one. Fortunately, our guide Luis was excellent, we even booked him for other tours, but that as nothing to do with Quente. I do not recommend this agency, we were lucky to have a amazing guide but he worked free-lance.

    Response from the operator: Hello, greetings, your guide Luis from the Qente travel agency, first I want to apologize for the delay in the time I went to your hotel. I am responsible for the delay and not the qente travel agency. It is true that I had a delay for health reasons and I apologize and about the organization on the part of the qente travel agency. It is always responsible for the punctuality and responsibility since the schedules you requested, 6:00am only enter groups with private guides but you were given the facility to enter the schedule you requested, and it is true that I agree to provide you with other services outside my working hours for the qente travel agency, I say goodbye, greetings atte your guide

    Well planned hike of Inca Trail with plentiful, delicious food

    We just returned from hiking the Inca Trail with Qente. The trip was great, but here are my thoughts. First of all, apparently, Qente (or Q'ente) and Colibri are now the same company. Second, our hike went exactly to plan and they provided everything that they said they would. The tents were clean, spacious (as tents go) and leak-proof (a concern as it was the rainy season), The food was plentiful and quite good (dare I say, delicious!). Our guide was patient when we slowed down occasionally, and unfailingly enthusiastic. Now, having said all that, it is very hard to know if our experience was any different from any of the other companies providing services on the trail. When we were hiking, we saw Peru Tours, View Peru, G Adventures, Llama Path and a couple others. Everyone uses the same itinerary, same campsites and mostly the same toilet facilities. As far as the hike is concerned, it is the same no matter which company you use. Curious about this very question, whenever I fell in step with hikers from other tour companies, I wanted to ask them about their experience with their tour operator, but it was hard to do that with so many guides around. Some groups were much larger than others, so that is a distinguishing factor. Some had more camaraderie, but that is probably the nature of the group, not the company. We chose Qente (Q'ente) based on a good reputation, responsiveness to our questions and a reasonable price. All in all, we were happy. Also, in our acclimatizing day in Cusco, we hired Qente (Q'ente) for a one one day tour of the Sacred Valley. They were very accommodating in adding a couple sites for us for an additional charge (Maras salt center and Moray Incan agricultural site). The drivers and guides were punctual. The minivan was immaculate and our guide for the Sacred Valley Tour (Alex) was very knowledgeable and spoke English beautifully.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your qualification of our service, we will always be happy and happy for your opinion of the service so that every day we can improve our service.

    Machu Picchu Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Machu Picchu Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $26 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 Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide?

    +

    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 Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide?

    +

    Around 1 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Machu Picchu Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide 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.

    What is included in Machu Picchu Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide?

    +

    Included: guide and pick up service. Not included: Private transportation; Gratuities; Lunch; and train ticket, tickets to machu picchu, bus up and down. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Machu Picchu Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 74 listed pickup locations in and around Sacred Valley. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Machu Picchu Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, 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 Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide?

    +

    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 Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide 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 Guided Tour with Professional Local Guide if the weather is bad?
