Do not book!
Would not recommend this tour. I asked to do circuit 1 and to my surprise the day of I found out we were doing circuit 3. The tour guide was extremely rude and you could tell he definitely didn’t want to be there. I was the only person in the tour and he referred to me as “lady” the entire time. Tour guide left me in circuit 3 then later I got a text from someone else asking where I was because there is a lunch reservation (I had not been informed on where or what time).
Response from the operator: It is very important for me to reply this review. This is Eric replying the massage to Jessica 1. You told me that you did not like the tour guide Ronald because instead of calling you by your name he told you Lady all the time, and you did not like that. And that is why you told he was a horrible tour guide. 2. You referred to me as someone else on this review, however we were all the time in communication and you were telling me Eric all the time. I was giving you all information you needed for the tour all time. 3. You did the tour with us, we pay for your bus tickets, your Machu Picchu entry, your private tour guide and your touristic lunch, we provided you everything and then you ask a 100% refund from Viator. Not happy with that you wrote this review. 4. The day of the tour and after the tour we have been in communication and you did not express anything about your disagreement with the tour. 1 day after the tour you told me about the circuits. This is very strange to me however when this type of issues happends on the tour we know by experience is because of 3 things usually. The first one is because people look for an excuse to be refunded and travel for free. Or just just hate too much our tour guide and your want to harm him. And the third option is very usual here and a lot of travel agencies pay people to do services with other companies and write bad reviews for them. I don’t really know what is the motivation for this, however l understood with years of experience that does not matter how good you do in life and proving services there will be always someone that won’t like it. That is ok, is part of life. Have a good day Jessica Eric Churata, Machu Picchu tour guide

Excellent tour, perfect for us.
Excellent trip, really friendly and custom tour. Fred was brilliant, collected us from hotel and gave a very informative tour, very knowledgeable in fauna and the history of the site and the civilisation. Helped with our photos too. The tour 2 is detailed and easy to walk, even for us oldies. We then returned to Agua Calientes and had our meal, it was a classy restaurant and the service and food was top notch. All in all a great choice .
Response from the operator: Hello! We are so glad to hear that your tour with Fred was amazing 👏. Machu Picchu is the jewel of us, the Andean people and we are happy that you had a good time there

Machu Picchu with Tickets and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sacred Valley.
How much does Machu Picchu with Tickets and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $170 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 with Tickets and Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 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 with Tickets and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu with Tickets and Lunch?
+
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 with Tickets and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu with Tickets and Lunch?
+
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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Machu Picchu with Tickets and Lunch 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 languages is Machu Picchu with Tickets and Lunch offered in?
+
