FAQs

Which ticket do I need for the Cusco City Tour?

The Cusco City Tour requires the Partial Tourist Ticket (Circuit I), which includes access to Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay. Admission to the Cusco Cathedral and Coricancha is purchased separately.

If you plan to visit more attractions in Cusco or the Sacred Valley during your stay, we recommend purchasing the Full Tourist Ticket, as it provides access to additional archaeological sites and museums.

Can I skip the Cathedral visit?

Yes. If you prefer not to visit the Cusco Cathedral, you can skip this stop. We will arrange for you to join the tour at the next scheduled attraction, so you won’t miss the rest of the itinerary.

Machupicchu! Tour con la mejor Agencia! El tour fue único, me encanta que nos dan recomendaciones sobre horarios, cuando es la mejor hora de ingreso, horas menos concurridas, mejores ángulos para las fotos, etc. La explicación del guía 10/10, respondió todas nuestras dudas y tiene una gran pasión por la historia del lugar la cuál transmite. La logística excelente, desde que llegamos a Cusco nos entregaron todos los ingresos de todos los tours y no hubo absolutamente ningún retraso. La puntualidad fue increíble.
