Excellent Tour
Everything was perfect, kindness on Rubén's part at all times, there were no setbacks, they were always punctual. Javier, the Machu Picchu guide, was friendly at all times, explained very well and always gave the opportunity to take photos. Thanks for the nice experience. Recommended at 100

Perfectly Organised Sacred Valley Tour
Thank you to Kimsa Expeditions for organising our private tour of the Sacred Valley which included all the must-see places. Our guide Eder was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, giving us a great insight into Inca history. The full day tour included Pisac, Salineras de Maras, Moray and Ollantaytambo. This also included lunch in a fantastic restaurant with amazing surroundings in the valley. Thank you again to Ruben and his team, the Sacred Valley is worth seeing over two days but thankfully they helped organise so we could see what we wanted in the time we had. We would definitely recommend Kimsa Expeditions for tours in and around Cusco.
Response from the operator: Hi samuel, Our team feels very grateful when reading your review, the truth is that it is very pleasant for us to receive a review like this, that motivates us to continue improving every day, I know that our priority is to have 100% satisfied customers and we will always strive for that, a hug from a distance and we hope to see you again soon. greetings, Ruben

The best experience of my life
We were my 2 teenage children, a teenage niece and my friends, one of them with her partner, we had a super comfortable hotel stay, we did tours and it was the most wonderful thing I could see in my life. We were delighted, everyone managed to climb the mountain of 7, I could not because I felt that I was short of breath, clearly I was choking, the rescue workers immediately assisted me, put oxygen and looked at all the vital signs. Everything happened very quickly and I recovered soon. The other excursions were divine, the guides are very professional, humanitarian and super polite, together the entire Kimsa Expedition agency is composed of very trained people and professionals from the head to the head. We'll repeat, this time with the grandchildren tb. I am very very grateful for having made my tour to Cusco with you. I will never forget that experience of being in Machu Picchu. Thank you very much for such good attention.
Response from the operator: Estimada Mónica, un gusto enorme haber participado organizando sus excursiones en cusco y siento una gran satisfacción que les haya gustado sus paseos y nuestra ciudad milenaria, esto es mi pasión, organizar las excursiones y ver las emociones que causa cuando todo sale excelente es nuestra mejor recompensa, siempre los llevare en nuestros corazones, un abrazo enorme. saludos

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Valley + Machupicchu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sacred Valley.
How much does Valley + Machupicchu cost?
+
Prices start at $420 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sacred Valley usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Valley + Machupicchu take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Sacred Valley is not rushed.
Is Valley + Machupicchu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Valley + Machupicchu?
+
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 Valley + Machupicchu suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Valley + Machupicchu?
+
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 Sacred Valley 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 Sacred Valley and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Valley + Machupicchu 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 Sacred Valley 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 Sacred Valley?
+
On Outty we rank every Sacred Valley experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco ( with Pisac), From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch, Machu Picchu Guided Tour from Aguas Calientes. 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 Sacred Valley?
+
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 Sacred Valley?
+
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 Valley + Machupicchu?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Valley + Machupicchu include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Sacred Valley. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Valley + Machupicchu offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French 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 Valley + Machupicchu?
+
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 Valley + Machupicchu wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Valley + Machupicchu if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Sacred Valley. Standard cancellation terms apply.
