Make sure the spots promised are covered.
Not too happy. Rubem was ok. There were lot of more stops listed in the booking in TripAdvisor but later we found that those were not even mentioned to us and we were let go. Was very upset.
Response from the operator: Dear Shrabani, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent private walking tour in Cusco. We sincerely regret to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, as our main goal is always to provide exceptional service. We would like to clarify that this was a private walking tour. Unfortunately, during the itinerary, you felt too exhausted to continue walking. Our priority in such situations is always the safety and well-being of our guests. To help you complete the circuit comfortably without further physical strain, Ruben—one of our most experienced guides with 15 years of excellent service—proactively proposed taking a local taxi (at a minimal cost of 10 Soles) so you wouldn't miss the remaining sights. Since you preferred not to take the taxi and requested to end the tour, Ruben strictly followed your instructions to ensure your comfort. Furthermore, in an effort to make up for the missed walking sections and add value to your day, Ruben kindly took you to visit the Qoricancha Museum—an attraction that was not originally included in your itinerary—as a complimentary gesture. We apologize if there was any misunderstanding during these decisions; our guide's only intention was to adapt to your physical needs while still trying to give you a memorable experience. We deeply value your patronage and hope you were able to rest and enjoy the remainder of your time in Peru. Warm regards, Brian Grajeda

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Walking Cusco City Tour (Private): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Walking Cusco City Tour (Private) cost?
+
Prices start at $42 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 Walking Cusco City Tour (Private) take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Walking Cusco City Tour (Private) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 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 Walking Cusco City Tour (Private)?
+
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 Walking Cusco City Tour (Private) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking Cusco City Tour (Private)?
+
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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking Cusco City Tour (Private) 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 Walking Cusco City Tour (Private)?
+
Included: Pick-up at your hotel inside the historical center of Cusco by foot; and Private professional tour guide. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Walking Cusco City Tour (Private) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Walking Cusco City Tour (Private) 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 Walking Cusco City Tour (Private)?
+
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 Walking Cusco City Tour (Private) if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cusco. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
