I highly recommend this itinerary. We visited two historical sites in two days and one night. The handicraft market itself was a bit like the stalls you see outside tourist attractions, but the transportation for the entire tour was very well arranged. Even though the train was significantly delayed, they patiently waited to take us home. We were able to enjoy every stop without worry. Thumbs up! However, I personally suggest allowing for some free time before and after the trip to rest, otherwise, the tight schedule and travel can be quite tiring!

Despite a minor mishap, we were provided with a truly wonderful tour! The guide for the Machu Picchu tour, in particular, was excellent and very thorough!

Choosing this guide for my Machu Picchu trip was an excellent decision. First, the service provided was outstanding for the price, and I was amazed by the value for money. Lunch was provided on the first day and was delicious. The guide's explanations were also very thorough, allowing me to explore the ruins while deeply understanding the historical background, which was very satisfying in terms of knowledge. What was especially wonderful was that they took plenty of time to show me around until I was completely satisfied. There was no rushing like in a group tour, and I was able to enjoy the scenery to my heart's content. Also, they provided dedicated support throughout the tour, and I am truly grateful that they didn't show any displeasure when I left something behind and diligently helped me search for it. Even during the trek, they took many photos at scenic spots and livened up the atmosphere, so I felt ingenuity everywhere to make the walking time itself enjoyable. They were always there for me from beginning to end, and thanks to this guide, it was a wonderful trip that will remain a lifelong memory.

one of my favourite part of this trip in Peru. The tour was organised and waking up early was all worth it. We arrived in Vinicunca Mountain earIy which means less crowd. ATV ride was fun too. On top of that, I was surprised thay the tour included buffet breakfast and lunch. Money we'll spent on this trip.

What to know before visiting Cusco

Discover Cusco’s highlights and travel rhythm

Cusco is a gateway for history-rich tours and cultural experiences, with day trips and guided sightseeing dominating bookings. Demand changes through the year, with strong peaks and quieter troughs that shape when attractions feel busiest.

Best months to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data show the busiest month is September and the quietest is March, with demand rising into late northern-hemisphere summer and peaking in September. Prices move independently of demand at times: while September is very busy and prices are high, October shows some of the lowest typical prices according to Klook data. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, October and the quieter months around March and December tend to be better; if you want peak-season atmosphere and the fullest programme of tours, aim for September and the surrounding busy months.

Tips for travellers

Most visitors on Klook book about four weeks in advance on average, with many last-minute bookings possible roughly within a week and a half. If your trip is flexible you can often book closer to travel dates, but for travel during the September peak it helps to plan and reserve activities a few weeks ahead. Use Klook to compare tours and cultural experiences and lock in the options that matter most to your schedule.
