The short version

Tour, ticket and bus cards on this site link to GetYourGuide and Viator. Hotel and area links, the see stays in this area buttons on where to stay in Aguas Calientes, go through Stay22, which forwards you to Booking.com, Expedia or another booking site and pays us a commission on the same terms. If you book after clicking one, the platform pays us a commission out of its own margin. Your price is identical either way, and clicking costs you nothing.

We are not a tour operator or a travel agency. We sell nothing, take no payments and act as nobody's agent.

Who does what

We compare listings and link out. The platform takes your payment, issues the voucher and handles customer service. The company named on the listing runs the actual tour, guide or transfer. If a departure is cancelled or a guide fails to show, that is resolved between you, the platform and the operator under their policies. We have no standing in that conversation and cannot refund or reschedule anything.

The Machu Picchu entrance ticket is different. Its official seller is the Ministerio de Cultura, through tuboleto.cultura.pe, and this site sells no standalone Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain ticket and no Inca Trail permit alone. Where our tour and bus cards do sell a bundled entrance ticket or a bus seat, the price and the Check Availability button on this site are ours to earn from. Where we sell nothing for a given ticket type, the page links to the official seller directly, with no tracking and no commission to us.

What the commission does not buy

Placement, ratings, wording. Nobody has paid to appear on this site or to be described in a particular way, and no operator sees a page before it is published.

The test is on the pages themselves: several of the most-read pages here send you to the official ticket portal or to PeruRail and Inca Rail directly, which pay us nothing, and say plainly where a guided add-on is not worth its markup. Where a tour is worth booking we say why in the same terms, time saved, a guide included, a queue avoided.

Ratings and reviews

Every rating and review count shown on a tour card is the platform's own published number, read on the date printed with it. We calculate no rating of our own, this site carries no aggregate rating of its own in its markup, it has no reviews, and we write no testimonials. Quoted reviews are short excerpts kept as published, with the source.

Prices

Tour and ticket prices here are the listing's own published rate at the last check, and Peruvian sol tariffs set by the Ministerio de Cultura are the official rate on its own resolutions and pages at the date shown. Both move: platforms reprice constantly and Peru's tariff schedule is set by ministerial resolution and can change with each one. The figure that counts is the one on the checkout page before you pay.

When it disagrees with ours, the checkout is right and we would like to know.
