Short Inca trail with Wilfredo
Peru Sites is an excellent tour operator. We did a short Inca trail with Wilfredo. The tour was well organized from 5am pick up from hotel in Cusco to the last taxi ride back to our hotel. Rosa gave us a priefing of the trip the night before and we met Willie at km 104. The hike was pleasant and we had our own pace that was slightly faster than others since we didn’t have to wait for no-one. The lunch was delicious (quinoa sald, sandwitch, fruits, juice and candy (save one cady to the sun gate;))). Willie is very knowledgeable about Inka history and culture and seems genuinly interested in telling about it in very good English. Thanks to Willie we have an amazing picture of Machu Picchu from the evening of 1st day. The next morning was rainy (and full of people) so I’m glad that Willie arranged the photo opportunity :)
Response from the operator: Dear Mr Teemu and Helena It is a pleasure to greet you and thank you for sharing your experience in this way. We are pleased that your experience in Peru has been excellent, our goal is always that our clients live a memorable experience and share it with their friends so that they also visit us. We hope that you will soon return to Peru, a great variety of exciting destinations await you. The team of Peru Sites Adventure.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private tour Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2-Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Private tour Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2-Days cost?
+
Prices start at $550 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 tour Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2-Days take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 tour Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2-Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 tour Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2-Days?
+
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 tour Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2-Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private tour Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2-Days?
+
Around 2 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private tour Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2-Days 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.
