    Good prices, quick assistance in case of problems, very friendly.

    this agency explains all the details of the 2 day tour to Sacred Valley+Machu Picchu as many times as necessary. They respond quickly by whatsapp if you have an incident and make the necessary steps to solve it. The guides they offer on their excursions have been very good. We have felt accompanied at times when we have had some problems. I recommend it!! Good prices

    Incredible! Must See!

    We had a great time touring the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu! Jose was responsive and very helpful in organizing our tours! I am a bit of a worrier so I had a bunch of questions, and Jose answered them quickly and patiently. On the first day we went on a tour of the Sacred Valley with Juan Carlos which was breathtaking and beautiful! Juan Carlos was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the area. On day 2 we went with Jose to Machu Picchu - we had an incredible time and saw amazing views. If you are thinking about visiting the Sacred Valley, I highly recommend Encuentros Peru Adventure!

    Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel cost?

    +

    Prices start at $579 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 Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel 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 Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel?

    +

    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 Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel 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 Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel?

    +

    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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel 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 Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel?

    +

    Included: Transport Cusco - Ollantaytambo - Cusco; Bus from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu and back; Guided tour of Machu Picchu; Lunch; and Train Ollantaytambo - Aguas Calientes - Ollantaytambo. Not included: Entrance ticket to Sacred Valley (70 peruvian soles); Meals other than what is mentioned in the list of inclusions; and Tips for driver and guide (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 120 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 Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel 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 Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel?

    +

    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.

    What happens to Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu: 2 Day Guided Tour + Hotel if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cusco. Standard cancellation terms apply.
