What you'll see and do

  1. Sacsayhuaman

    Sacsayhuaman can be translated as ‘speckled falcon’ or ‘speckled head’. The last interpretation refers to the belief that the city of Cusco was set out in the form of a puma whose head was the hill of Sacsayhuaman. The origins are uncertain but the fortress is generally credited to the period of Inca Pachacutec (1450-1490), the Inca king who essentially founded the Inca Empire.

    After Sacsayhuaman, your van will be waiting to continue with visits to Q’enko, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay also located near the X-zone, just outside the city, before returning to Cusco for a stop by the ‘Koricancha’ or Inca Temple of the Sun located beneath the Santo Domingo church and convent. We’ll round out the excursion with a visit to the local market, where inside the main building you find the food market with fresh fruits and vegetables, meat from rabbit to guinea pig to whole pigs, fish and seafood, groceries of all kinds and little food stands where ‘Mamá or ‘Jefe’ cooks a simple, but fresh and delicious menu for a few Soles.

Juan is the best!

Juan was our tour guide and he is the absolute best. He answered every one of our questions and was deeply knowledgeable. Taking this tour early in our trip was a fantastic idea because it gave us a lot of knowledge for the remainder of the trip. I would recommend Juan to everyone!

Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We appreciate your kind words and hope you are enjoying the rest of your time in Peru.

Wonderful tour of the city of Cusco

We had the team pick us up from the airport and take us through the various archealogical sites. The knowledge of the sites and the information they provided was amazing. Thank you for an amazing time.

Response from the operator: Thank you Huzefa for taking the time to write a review. It was a pleasure to have your family with us on both of the tours you took with us. We appreciate your business and hope that you enjoyed your time in Peru. Please, come back and see us again sometime.

Excellent

We had a fantastic Cusco city Tour with them. Communication with them was so smooth. Their representative kept in touch with us throughout booking the tour. Our guide Manuel was great. Peru is once in a lifetime holiday experience and Andean adventures made it even better.. even more memorable.

We think communication with our customers is very important, thank you for your compliment regarding our communication. You will have many memories to look back on from your time in Peru, thank you for letting us be a part of it. Juan Ruben, Owner

Private Cusco City Tour Archaeological Sites, Guide & Driver only: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Private Cusco City Tour Archaeological Sites, Guide & Driver only cost?

+

Prices start at $90 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 Private Cusco City Tour Archaeological Sites, Guide & Driver only 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 Private Cusco City Tour Archaeological Sites, Guide & Driver only worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 13 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 Private Cusco City Tour Archaeological Sites, Guide & Driver only?

+

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 Private Cusco City Tour Archaeological Sites, Guide & Driver only suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Private Cusco City Tour Archaeological Sites, Guide & Driver only?

+

Around 5 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 Private Cusco City Tour Archaeological Sites, Guide & Driver only 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.
