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.

Our guide Miguel was super knowledgable about the history of Peru, Cusco region, Inka culture, etc, so not only he shared with us information about these attractions, but also the history, culture, people perspectives, adding lots of context to everything we got to see! The tour was flexible with timing and itinery, we were able to modify/add some stops we wanted, and Miguel and team were very helpful accommodating our wishes. He also took many great pictures of us! It was such a memorable experience for us!
Excellent, very informative tour. Our phenomenal guide Oscar (a local from the Sacred Valley) was very knowledgeable, a fun leader, and considerate of our group’s needs and how we were feeling throughout the day. We did the tour on our first full day in the Cusco area, which helped with acclimating as the altitude is slightly lower than Cusco itself. Highly recommend the tour—it was very much worth it.
Oscar was a great guide. The tour is amazing, and is full of history, nature, and incredible views! The restaurant in Maras with the llamas and alpacas was amazing too.
This was the highlight of our trip to Peru. Yes, we did two days walking Machu Picchu after this and this was even more worthwhile. Miguel was very knowledgeable, and fun to be with. He was flexible with our time and offered a lot of local knowledge. The lunch was great and a fun place with an alpaca sitting near us. I highly recommend this tour. You will not be dissapointed.
Highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide Oscar was amazing and really tailored the tour based on what we were looking for. He was extremely knowledgeable and really made the experience so worth it.
Miguel was our private tour guide for the day and he was absolutely wonderful! We learned so much about Peru from him. He was punctual and very polite. We highly recommend him!
Excellent guide and experience! Very good English and very knowledgeable. Sites were amazing, great day trip.
Our guide, Cesar, took us on a fantastic tour of the sacred valley. We could pick our sites to visit and Cesar made sure we were well informed and comfortable. We really loved the local knowledge Cesar provided while visiting the amazing areas he grew up in. Highlights were the archaeological sites, learning the Incan history, and lunch with Llamas! Thanks for a great day Cesar!
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.
