Step back in time as you learn about the ancient culture of the Incas, and see how their descendants live today, during this full-day tour of Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas. With just your small group and a bilingual guide, see the most popular sights in the Sacred Valley like Pisac, Ollantaytambo, and Chincheros. Visit a weaving house for a demonstration on dyeing and weaving techniques, and stop into the famous Chincheros market for local souvenirs before returning to Cusco at the end of the day.

Luise is a philosoher and a poet. He encouraged us when the going got tough(thin air) and helped us fall in love with Peruvian culture. Restaurant for lunch was impressive!

Fabricio was a great guide and this was an incredible experience! We learned so much - he focused a lot on education. The natural beauty and Incan ruins were amazing!

Our family of four from Australia (husband, wife, and two daughters, 13 and 11) recently took a day trip to the Sacred Valley, starting with a punctual hotel pickup. The inclusion of an animal rescue stop was a highlight, especially for our daughters who thoroughly enjoyed the animal interactions. The weaving demonstration was fascinating, though the subsequent shop visit wasn’t in line with our day's plan, preferring experiences over shopping.
The tour guide, Luis, was informative and made our visit to Pisac quite engaging. However, the tour also included a silver jewelry manufacturing demonstration, which, while interesting, was another deviation from our expectation of focusing more on historical and cultural insights rather than commercial stops.
Lunch at Urubamba posed a challenge. The restaurant, not being close to other, more affordable options, left us with limited choices. We hadn’t opted for the buffet lunch to save costs (60 sol per adult and 45 sol per child), but managed to negotiate ordering a la carte meals to share, thanks to our guide’s assistance.
The visit to the Ollantaytambo site was impressive and a highlight of the tour, justifying its inclusion in our itinerary. However, our experience ended there, as we did not proceed to Machu Picchu like some other travellers.
A significant concern arose when we left a couple of items on the bus due to a hasty departure amidst Carnival-induced traffic jams in Cusco. Despite our guide's early warnings about leaving belongings behind, we accidentally left a hat and a jumper. Contacting the tour company, Fredi, resulted in the recovery of the hat but not the jumper, despite repeated inquiries and assurances of checks. Our attempts to recover these items were met with initial responsiveness that faded, leaving us without a resolution or the ability to collect the found hat before our departure.
In summary, while the day trip offered memorable experiences and valuable cultural insights, it was marred by an emphasis on shopping and a disappointing post-tour customer service regarding lost belongings. For future travellers, this tour offers a mix of impressive sights and experiences but be prepared for commercial stops and ensure personal belongings are secure.

The wonderful Gilmar Guide! Lots of culture and love for what it does, the operator, however, left something to be desired. When he picked me up at the hotel, he informed me that I had to have purchased tickets for the valley, and he had included these tickets in the package. But once the problem was solved by Gilmar. Rating 10 for the guide, 7 for the operator.

Super well organised and efficient. Great communication throughout.
The guides were excellent - very knowledgeable about Quechua history, architecture, philosophy, maths, traditions etc which they told to us in interesting stories.

Gary was my tour guide who was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and gave us so much information on the history of the Incas. We stopped at a sanctuary, walked around town and had a delicious lunch. After we travelled to the sacred valley. Juan the driver made the ride smooth and comfortable. Highly recommended this company!
