Request Charly!!!!! Wow, what an amazing day!! Our tour guide Charly was incredible, so king and knowledgeable. We visited several sights and had lunch at a great spot. I wish we could book every tour with Charly. We spent a great length of time at each location and the admissions fees to the sites were so reasonable. The atmosphere was great and Charly led us to the best spots with few crowds. This is best for anyone interested in learning more about Peru and the Sacred Valley. Peru is phenomenal!
Our private tour of the Sacred Valley with Charly as our guide was perfect. Charly made our experience so memorable with his deep and passionate knowledge of the sites we visited. He had a true caring for our experience and took some amazing pictures for us. In addition, our driver for the day John was efficient and friendly, always in the right spot to move seamlessly between sites. I would highly recommend booking a tour with this company, specifically with Charly if you can.

This was an absolutely incredible tour. Ruben and David are so knowledgeable, kind, and easygoing. The admission fees were as described in the booking and everything went perfectly. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone interested! The lunch provided was also great.
We had an absolutely fantastic Sacred Valley tour! Ricardo was an exceptional guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Peru. His explanations brought every stop to life, and he answered every question with incredible depth and enthusiasm. The day was perfectly paced, allowing us to enjoy each site without ever feeling rushed. Ricardo was also flexible, adapting the tour to our interests and making sure everyone had a wonderful experience. Our driver was equally outstanding—always on time, professional, and, most importantly, an extremely safe driver on the winding mountain roads. We felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire day. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Peru. If you’re considering a Sacred Valley tour, don’t hesitate to book this one and ask for Ricardo if you can. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!
