David Made Our Trip Unforgettable!
We had a wonderful experience with our guide, David! He was incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. David shared so much fascinating history about the Inka Kingdom and really helped bring the sites to life for us. He was especially great with our kids—super friendly and engaging—and made the whole experience enjoyable for the whole family. He also took plenty of great photos for us, which we truly appreciated. Above all, David is a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional guide!
Response from the operator: Thank you my lovely client Machulas Journey always working very hard to support the lifetime experience to our clients honestly thank you once again!!

Flexible, priority, and stress-free
Wow. What an incredible and informative tour. I had decided to extend my holiday while in Tarapoto, Peru and flew to Cusco on a whim for 2 additional days. I'm a seasoned solo traveler and figured I could find my way around myself, a gross error in this region. Tourism is tightly controled in Peru and you have to book a ticket far in advance to really appreciate Machu Picchu (circuit 2). I was able to coordinate this short tour to leverage the reputation of a highly proven tourism company while also being flexible by having just a single tour guide and driver with me while traveling solo. Public transit isn't very well developed and this turned out to be the best way to appreciate the sights. My guide, David Herrera Pezo, is and was phenomenal. His native roots and in-depth understanding of the Inca culture provided a well balanced and thorough informative adventure. He was relaxed, flexible, a gracious host, and came to be my friend. I will be back to hike the Inca trail (a 4 day hike with cooks and tent) and I plan on reaching out to David and the company to plan my next adventure.
Response from the operator: Thank so much Mister Kristian for your sweet words for us was a honor to assist you in your plan to Machupicchu as solo traveler, comeback soon Kristian we will ready to take you to the Famous - Classic Inca Trail to Machupicchu. Thank you again!!

Machulas trip
Machulas Journey should be the only tour group you’re considering. Lluvia and Deivid and their team made our visit to Peru incredible!!! They took care every detail and everything felt so personalized and stress free . Rain Lluvia was so proud to share her wonderful country with us and it showed every day. We did Chinchero, Moray salt mine, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu. Having a local who knew all the ins and outs of the area that also took the most care to make sure we enjoyed ourselves made the entire trip. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lluvia and his husband, Deivid. I spent the entire day with them, and they took me all over the Sacred Valley. They are from different communities, and their knowledge of everything runs deep. It was one of my favorite days in Peru, and I have Rain Lluvia as my tour organization and Deivid as my professional license tour guide thank for making it so special. I highly recommended this local legally tour Operator in Cusco - Peru Machulas Journey!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Sikandar for your wonderful review and also to being part of our trip experience in Cusco - Sacred Valley and Machupicchu, we are very happy to hear sweet words from you. Thank you again and regard!!

My amaizing Machulas journey !
I've always wanted to visit Machu Picchu for the longest time and my friend recommended me to book the 3 day Sacred Valley to Machupicchu through Machulas Journey had done it and gave rave reviews. The entire booking process and leadup to the tour the company was informative and when arriving in Cusco, i recommend acclimitising for 2-3 days. The briefing before the tour gives you all the information you need and they answer any questions you have with the guide for your tour. I was lucky enough to have one of the best, most knowledgeable and passionate guides of any tour I,ve ever done, their names is Lluvia and Deivid and just to see their enthusiasm and care for all of our experiences was incredible. I learnt so much about the quechuan culture and see that this is their lifes purpose. There is massive respect for all the culture and traditions Peru's present. This tour was everything you need. The 3 days tour on the Sacred Valley was incredible and then the tour of Machu Picchu the next day was perfect. Our tour agent were the best part. They were super helpful, informative and took the extra step to give us the best experience possible. Thank Lluvia and Deivid were the best! I really recommend to all Machulas Journey tour company!!
Response from the operator: Señorita Kainat we are very Happy with your wonderful review this is where we do for the life, and we are specialist doing this unique authentic experience in our region I hope some day you can do again for another lifetime of experience.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley & Machupicchu 2D - 1N: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley & Machupicchu 2D - 1N cost?
+
Prices start at $700 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 & Machupicchu 2D - 1N 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 & Machupicchu 2D - 1N worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 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 Sacred Valley & Machupicchu 2D - 1N?
+
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 Sacred Valley & Machupicchu 2D - 1N suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley & Machupicchu 2D - 1N?
+
Around 7 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 & Machupicchu 2D - 1N 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.
