trip was amazing, Juan was an amazing tour guide, had excellent knowledge of macchu Picchu and some great secret photo spots, the itinerary was also well thought out and gave us flexibility to choose which paths we hiked thanks to Jose.

Highly recommended cultural tour in Cusco. It’s good value for money, and the tour guide was excellent—very knowledgeable and gave detailed explanations at every stop, especially about Inca history and culture. Everything was well explained and easy to understand. After the trip, I became even more interested in learning about Cusco. Definitely a worthwhile experience.

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.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. My wife and I took the private tour with Wayra as our guide and he was phenomenal. There was so much to learn at every single stop and he answered our every question knowledgeably and was able to give us a lot of detail on the history of what we were seeing as well as little insights to growing up in the area which was very valuable to learn. It ended up being a very enriching day... Some highlights were getting to see the salt mines and sample choclates at a family home as well learning the process of preparing freshly sheared wool to be loomed into garments. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Again, Wayra was incredible and you will be in such good hands with him as your guide.

What to know before visiting Cusco

Quick snapshot of Cusco and what draws travellers

Cusco is a gateway for cultural experiences and tours, and Klook booking trends show a clear yearly rhythm with a strong high season and quieter months. Tours dominate bookings, with cultural experiences also present among visitors seeking history and local heritage.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook data identifies September as the peak month for demand and March as the trough, with demand rising through late summer into early autumn. Prices move differently at times: several peak-demand months such as September and November also show high prices, while October stands out in Klook data as typically the cheapest month for activities. For lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for October or other trough months; for the full peak-season atmosphere, aim for September or November when activity levels are highest. Note that price and demand generally rise together around the busiest months, but there are months where prices dip even when demand is moderate.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines who book Cusco experiences typically lock things in about four weeks ahead, with many purchasing well before the last-minute window of around nine days. If you prefer flexibility you can still find options closer in, but if you’re travelling in peak months consider booking earlier to secure preferred tours and cultural activities. Use Klook to compare available tours and book the experiences you want with the confidence of past booking patterns on the platform.
