A Wonderful 2-Day Tour Using Various Agencies
The night before I had a meeting with a representative from the tour agency. She provided me with 5 entry/transportation tickets. The next day, my tour guide picked me up on time and we went to the Sacred Valley. After stopping to take some photos along the way we visited the Inca ruins of Pisac and Ollantaytambo. Both of these ruins were spectacular and my guide was very knowledgeable. The guide dropped me at the train station and I took the train to Machu Picchu Town where I was met by a representative from the hotel that the tour agency booked me. I had another meeting with a representative from day two's tour agency that would be taking me to Machu Picchu. The next day I walked to the Plaza de Armas and met my guide. After a short bus ride, my guide Richard took us on a wonderful tour of Machu Picchu. He was patient and let us take tons of photos and answered all our questions. Then it was back to the train. When I arrived at Ollantaytambo Station, a driver was there waiting for me. The only unfortunate event was that a bus hit his car on the way back to Cusco. It only caused minor damage but it did set me back over an hour. I felt bad for the driver but I believe it was his personal car. The best part of this tour was that I had the WhatsApp number of a member of the tour agency. She answered any questions I had along the way. I highly recommend this tour agency. Just know, that they simply organize the tours and I do not believe I toured with their company specifically. There were many members on the tours that did not purchase this package.

very good guides
Enjoyed my time at Peru. Everything is taken care of. I have different guides and people in the tour group for day1 and day2, which is very common in a lot of touristic arrangement around the world. The service was very good.

Trip of a Lifetime!
Could not recommend Michael and CrossoverPeru more! We had an amazing time trekking around Machu Picchu and up to the Sun Gate. Michael was a very informative and patient guide and totally made the experience great for us. Best of all, I proposed to my girlfriend up there and he helped keep the secret and photographed it all! A++ experience.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco 2-Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco 2-Day cost?
+
Prices start at $495 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 Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco 2-Day 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 Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco 2-Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred Valley Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco 2-Day?
+
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 Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco 2-Day suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 21. 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 Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco 2-Day?
+
Around 4 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 Tour to Machu Picchu from Cusco 2-Day 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.
