Which travel agency to hire to know Cusco
Spectacular site. My main goal was to get to know Machupicchu, but thanks to the advice of the Boys of "Peru Safe Destination" we took this Tour, which was spectacular. We were fortunate to meet him in times of pandemic which meant a small number of tourists at that time, which allowed us to take very good pictures. The guide was excellent and gave us the explanations of rigor and also answered with great knowledge as many questions we asked him. The vehicle was very comfortable and keeping all biosecurity protocols to travel reliably. Excellent tour. Don't miss it.
Response from the operator: Buenas noches, muy agradecido con usted por confiar en nosotros y compartir esa experiencia maravillosa, gustosos en recibir en sus proximas vaciones en Perú.

Don't trust that agency.
This agency is responsible for making me spend a few bitter days in Peru, as we bought several packages from excursions through different towns, to going to Aguascalientes. on two of the tours we were promised different destinations, but did not fulfill some of them, and when making the claim we were wasted 1 full day waiting for the answer and in the end we were told "we are sorry but we can not do anything for you, if the guide stopped at the destinations we can not do anything" It is the last straw that they sell packages promising some destinations and in the end the guide decides what goes or not. A lack of respect and seriousness with the tourist.
Response from the operator: Buen Día CarolinaB3311, Es un Gusto poder Saludarte. Queremos responder su comentario aclarando muchos puntos que no compartimos con Usted y que en su momento se aclaró. #1 Nuestro Servicio siempre fue eficiente y tenemos el respaldo de todos los pasajeros y Guias que las acompañaron en los distintos Tours. Ellos muy respetuosamente nos hicieron llegar su incomodidad por las malas actitudes que presenciaron por parte de Ustedes en las distintas excursiones incluso ocasionando incomodidad al resto del Grupo. #2 Nosotros Como Agencia de Viajes Les hicimos el Favor de crearles un itinerario de la noche a la mañana, como es evidente antes de realizar o visitar cualquier país o ciudad se realiza una planificación . Y nuestro GRAN ERROR fue acceder a vuestra petición y mover todo para darles el gusto de visitar la gran cantidad de lugares que deseaban conocer siendo casi imposible por la duración de los Tours y distancias que se maneja. En el momento se les explico todo ello pero ustedes insistían en hacerlo de esa manera así que accedieron a correr los riegos ya que la distancia de un atractivo turístico a otro demandaba mayor tiempo por la lejanía de los lugares y pues bien nosotros accedimos por que lo que buscamos es ver a nuestros clientes satisfechos. INCLUSO accedimos a darles unas descuentos. #3 Se tuvo dos contratiempos en las excursiones PRIMERO: En la Fecha 18/01/2020 realizaron la excursión Valle Sagrado Conexión Machupicchu el inconveniente se tuvo en la primera Visita MIRADOR DE TARAY donde el Guía les explico las razones por la cual no podían descender del Bus ya que primero se busca la seguridad del Pasajero, poniéndoles en conocimiento que la Municipalidad de Pisac estaba realizando mantenimiento en el Mirador usando material de construcción en la explanada. SEGUNDO: En la Fecha 20/01/2020 retornaron de Machupicchu al Pueblo de Ollantaytambo teniendo en cuenta que este tour termina en Cusco a las 09:00 am. Ustedes solicitaron no perder ese día y acomodar otro tour el cual iniciaba a las 08:00 am. Nuestro agente fue a recogerlos a Ollantaytambo para hacer el alcance al tour de MARAS-MORAY-SALINERAS. Haciendo todos los medios posibles para que conecten con el grupo. Ustedes tenían conocimiento que no llegaban a visitar el primer lugar de esta Excursión y ahí estaba el Riego. #3 Hacemos Un llamado a Todas las Empresas de este Sector para no dejarnos sorprender con pasajeros que quieran desprestigiar nuestro servicio. Y no cometamos el Error de acceder a los caprichos de ellos por que por mas que uno quiera hacer el bien , nos perjudican de esta manera años de esfuerzo y trabajo. Adjuntamos las Fotos de estas Pasajeras para que puedan tener mucho cuidado Hermanos Empresarios.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Maras and Moray salt mines | Half day |: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Maras and Moray salt mines | Half day | 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 Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Maras and Moray salt mines | Half day | take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Maras and Moray salt mines | Half day | worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 Maras and Moray salt mines | Half day |?
+
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 Maras and Moray salt mines | Half day | suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Maras and Moray salt mines | Half day |?
+
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 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Maras and Moray salt mines | Half day | 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.
