We know very well each place of this tour, since we have been grown in this area and we studied over 3 years to get a guide license. as well, our vehicles have all the permits to operate. We know when and where to go first to avoid the crowds. We want you enjoy the beauty and peace of each place, but some times it is not possible, specially when you want to start and finish in different places, however, we could fix it managing the starting time. Our tours are PRIVATE, so we are very flexible. We can stay in each place as long as you want, but do not forget that we have to be inside of the last archaeological párk before 4pm. We are honest, it means we are always going to tell you the true about the sites, places to eat, shops, etc. We are no gonna make you waste your time in shopping places, unless you are really interested to buy something, You can bring your own snacks or we can stop in a restaurant for lunch.

It was great getting a private tour of the key sights of the Sacred Valley, our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable. It was so efficient getting from place to place with just us vs having to wait for others on a larger tour, and also having the flexibility to stop when we needed to. Definitely recommend this tour!
The tour was well organized, and communication via WhatsApp was excellent. We received all necessary information in advance, and visiting the four Sacred Valley sites was enjoyable. However, we expected more from the guide, especially on a private tour. He shared the basic information at each site but then left us to explore on our own. We had hoped for more detailed explanations and a more interactive experience. The guide also seemed somewhat rushed at times, giving us the impression that he wanted to finish the tour quickly. Compared to other tours we booked in Peru, this one felt less informative and less personalized. Overall, a well-organized tour, but the guiding experience did not fully meet our expectations.
We loved our entire experience! Was such a great day and we learned so much about the Sacred Valley. Would really recommend!
Ricardo was an excellent guide. Outstanding day.
My wife and I took the Best Sacred Valley tour from Ollantaytambo a few weeks ago, and our tour guide was Ricardo. We cannot highly recommend this tour and Ricardo enough! He was very friendly and easy to talk to, and had so much information to give us. We spent eight hours together, and I bet he would've still had more info for us for another eight hours. We took our tour on our first full day in Peru, and it was the perfect primer for the rest of the week. Ricardo did such a good job of highlighting the most important aspects of ancient Inca culture, architecture, and history, we were able to finish the guide's sentences on tours later in the week, thanks to our well-rounded education. Learning about the deep connection to nature and the movements of the stars, while walking along the grass at the base of the terraces in Ollantaytambo was a particularly powerful experience. The information resonated with me on a deep level, and learning about it while looking at something so majestic with the sun on my face is an image that will live rent free in my mind forever. Thank you to the tour company, and especially Ricardo for this unforgettable experience, and the great photos!
This is an amazing Sacred Valley tour. This is a private tour that includes transit between locations. The best part was our guide Oscar, he was so informative, fun and professional. I recommend that you do this tour when in the Sacred Valley. Oscar was so awesome that we canceled our private driver/transfer to Cusco a few days later and booked a second tour (that also included a drop off at our new hotel in Cusco). We did the Pachamanca tour in the Patacancha community. You can book many tours with Oscar and his team, a wonderful contact and person to connect with in Peru!
This was the best tour we have gotten in the whole of Peru and we have come twice already. Our guide Oscar and our driver Don Zenón “The best driver in the whole of Peru” were nothing short of amazing! The tour was absolutely tailored to everything we wanted or needed and they made sure to give us options so that we could pick which ever was a better option based on how tired we were. The place they took us to have lunch was amazing in a beautiful scenery! 100% recommended and if we brought other relatives or friends to Cusco we will take them on this tour. Even make yourself a favor and check their direct contact on the website of EXCLUSIVE INKA TOUR our only regret was not finding them earlier and booking the rest of our tours in Peru with them
We went on The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco by Exclusive Inka Tour in April, 2026. Our guide, Oscar, picked us up at our Airbnb in Cusco and drove us back there at the end of the day. He was very knowledgeable and took us to all of the Inka sites in the Sacred Valley, including a top notch restaurant for lunch. The Inka sites were impressive but equally impressive was what we learned about Inka history and culture along with how these sites fit in. I highly recommend the tour.
Very well organized. Communicated very well. Excellent choice of experiences and Oscar was fantastic! He was friendly, very knowledgeable, very helpful. Highly recommend him!!
We started this tour with a pick up from our hotel in Cusco and ended at Ollantaytambo station to catch our train to Machu Picchu. Our guide Miguel was excellent. He was friendly and knowledgeable about all of our stops and provided lots of useful information throughout the day. We swapped Pisaq for Chinchero as we finished in Ollantaytambo which worked out perfectly for the time we had. Had a wonderful lunch at a restaurant recommended by Miguel. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a high quality private sacred valley tour.
