Sacred Valley Of Incas is a renowned attraction in Cusco. Most travellers visit it on a day trip and some choose to combine it with their trip to Machu Picchu. Chincheros, Maras & Moray, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo and Pisac are some of the renowned sites of the Sacred Valley and Sacred Valley VIP tour programme covers them all in a day trip from Cusco.

If you are inquisitive to know much more about the history and culture of Peru and Cusco in specific, South Valley Tour would be a great addition to the Sacred Valley Tour. South Valley Tour offers trip to a lesser known attraction off the city of Cusco. Dotted with lakes and Inkan archaeological ruins, the sites of Pikillaqta, Tipon and Andahuaylillas are worth the half day trip from Cusco.

The original Incan ruins where they followed simple agriculture techniques was incredible.
Church was closed due to renovation which was huge disappointment.
Other ruins were partly closed.
Tipon is a must see.

The guide was knowledgeable and we saw the sites we were supposed to see. That said, they tell you pick up is at a specific time and the expect you to be ready earlier than that. To get to the transport at the hotel we had to walk blocks through the city in the rain and my shoes were wet before the tour even began. The guide at one point refused to let me use the bathroom, when there clearly was a bathroom to use. I’m glad I could hold it, but what if I couldn’t !? The tour doesn’t say lunch is included, but we went anyway, and I couldn’t do anything about it, so I lost an hour there. They were kind and dropped me at another site on the way back, but it wasn’t out of their way. One of the highlights of the tour was a very knowledgeable and polite man who shared with us the details of how Machu Picchu was discovered. He was lovely.

The tour guides were absolutely amazing! They took such great care of us the entire time, making sure that we were taken care. This is definitely less traveled by Americans and Europeans, but it gave it a real authentic touch. The only set back was two in our group only spoke English and the tour was entirely in Spanish. We still had a great time we just thought it was going to be bilingual. The air conditioner was also minimal.

I enjoyed the trip that I took to the South Valley. I was fascinated by the ruins at Tipon, and the Wari ruins at Pikillaqta were amazing as well. I had already been to the church at Andahuaylas earlier in my visit to Cusco, but it is worth a look as part of this tour if you've not seen it. The restaurant that was chosen for lunch was quite good, and very efficient preparing all of our meals such that they were basically ready for us upon our arrival. (Try the trout!) The guide was bilingual (English and Spanish), and very knowledgeable. I am only giving 4 out of 5 marks, however, because I was told that I would be picked up at my hotel in San Blass, but the morning of the trip I was called a bit after 8 am and told to walk to the Main Square to catch the bus instead. It's a good thing I had time to spare to accommodate this last minute change of plans!

The van transport to Tipon, Piquillaqta and Andahuaylillas was fine. The tour took longer than usual. A lot of waiting because it was both in Spanish and English. It was a mixed group. If you take this tour, specify 1 language only to stay within the schedule time and enjoy other activities.

Great tour of the South Valley! Love the bread sampling and lunch was surprisingly delicious! Our tour guide is knowledgeable and spoke English very well. The ruins and the church in Andahuaylillas are definitely worth seeing. The price is very reasonable. Highly recommended.

I can totally reccomend this half day tour to three sites on the South valley of Cusco. It was a very relaxed tour. The sites are a short drive away from Cusco and well worth visiting. If you have the boleto turistico and time, i highly reccomend doing this.

Did not come across many tour companies offering this tour. I was very eager to see the three sites on the South Valley, especially the Andahyalillas church. Karen from machu Picchu peru Tours organised this and it was very ncie trip. I never felt rushed and the guide gave enough time at each location.
