    <p>There were 5 of us - to include a 10 year-old. Our guide Alex was wonderful. He was friendly and knowledgeable. They were very accommodating when we needed to stop. The picnic lunch was filling and tasty - and the location was very picturesque. The folks who did the horseback riding were knowledgeable and the horses were pretty well behaved. For us, having only a couple of hours on horseback was perfect. Maras and Moray weren't all that impressive once you were there - but the stops in between and the scenery were a great way to see the area. The tour went several hours longer than planned - but I think that was due to our shopping detour in Chinchero - the guides cut nothing out - just pushed through. I would recommend this.</p>

    Private Tour: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding cost?

    +

    Prices start at $319 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: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 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: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding?

    +

    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: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding?

    +

    Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding 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.

    What is included in Private Tour: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding?

    +

    Included: Professional English-speaking guide; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Excursions in private service; Lunch; and Professional Driver. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Tour: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 6 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Tour: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding offered in?

    +

    It is offered in 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 Private Tour: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding?

    +

    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 Private Tour: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding 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 Private Tour: Maras Moray Visit and Peruvian Paso Horseback Riding if the weather is bad?
