About toursfromcusco.com

toursfromcusco.com compares day trips and treks that start in Cusco, from Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail to Rainbow Mountain and the Sacred Valley. This page explains who runs it, how tours get onto it and how it earns money.

Who writes here

The site is run by Patrick Kühne, an independent travel publisher in Markkleeberg near Leipzig, Germany. He researches, writes and updates the pages himself and runs a small group of guides to day tours and attraction tickets.

How tours are chosen

The tours come from GetYourGuide and Viator. When the same tour is listed on both, the site shows the listing with more and better reviews. Tours with very few reviews or a weak average are left out, and so are transfers, city walks and ceremonies.

How the site earns money

Booking links go to GetYourGuide or Viator. When you book through one of them, the platform pays a commission; your price stays the same. Comparison tables are sorted by number of reviews, not by commission.

Where the facts come from

Prices, ratings and review counts are loaded from GetYourGuide and Viator once a day and shown in US dollars. Tour facts such as the train class, the campsites, the Machu Picchu entry and the pickup come from the tour listings and are checked when the site is updated.

What this site is not

toursfromcusco.com does not run tours, sells no tickets itself and is not the website of a tour operator, of PeruRail or Inca Rail, or of the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, which sells the Machu Picchu tickets and Inca Trail permits.
