Hotel location: I liked the hotel's location, and the tour agencies I used were familiar with it. It was difficult to open the room because the door lock wasn't working very well.

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.

We contacted the travel agency via WhatsApp two days before our trip and received our train tickets and itinerary the day before departure. On the day of the trip, our guide arrived promptly at 3:30 AM at our hotel to pick us up and take us to the train station. Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes, the hostel receptionist was already waiting for us and led us to the hostel to rest. We then had free time to explore Aguas Calientes, have lunch, and buy souvenirs! The next morning, before dawn, the receptionist had already prepared a simple breakfast for us. Our guide, Stiven, arrived on time at the hostel to pick us and the other group members up. The bus ride up the mountain offered incredibly beautiful scenery! We were very lucky with the weather; the views were crystal clear as soon as we reached the top. Our guide, Stiven, was very knowledgeable, providing excellent explanations in both Spanish and English, and gave us ample time to take photos. The tour concluded at noon, leaving us a few hours to have lunch before returning to the hostel to collect our luggage and depart from Aguas Calientes. This tour offered excellent value for money and is highly recommended!

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!

What to know before visiting Cusco

Quick snapshot of Cusco and what to expect

Cusco’s busiest booking months cluster around the Southern Hemisphere spring and early summer, driven largely by Tours and Cultural experiences. Demand rises sharply into the peak season, while quieter months see far fewer bookings—so the city’s visitor rhythm swings between lively high season and much calmer troughs.

Best times to visit for price and crowd balance

Klook booking data show demand peaks in September and falls to its lowest point in March. Prices move independently of demand at times: while September is one of the busiest months, the priciest month on Klook booking data is typically March, and the cheapest month is typically October. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in October or other quieter months around March’s trough; for peak-season atmosphere and the liveliest activity, aim for September through November when demand is highest.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Australian travellers typically book activities several weeks ahead, with a common lead time of about 29 days, though many bookings still come in within the last 9 days. If you’re planning a shorter trip, you can be flexible and book a few days out; if you’re travelling in the peak months named above, consider locking popular Tours and Cultural experiences in earlier to secure your preferred dates on Klook.
