Heiliges Tal der Inkas Ganztagestour

A very good full day trip around sites near to Cusco. However it was over 12 hours long with long drives between the sites which was a little too long for me as it was my first full day at those high altitudes. Very knowledgeable guide who spoke good English. Leaving out one of the sites and spending more time at the others may be a more plan.

I found the experience excellent! The Dante guide taught the history very well and showed the important points

Excellent trip with several stops. Luigi was very knowledgeable and an excellent guide. Well worth it and would definitely recommend.

Our group had an incredible experience exploring the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Our guide, David, was exceptionally knowledgeable, and our driver, Percy, navigated the roads skillfully, ensuring we were comfortable and safe throughout the entire journey. We visited spectacular sites, including the fascinating Maras Salt Mines and the historic town of Ollantaytambo. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to deeply experience the beauty and history of the Sacred Valley.

Beautiful encounters with the staff as well as the guests. My favorites were Romane and Mehdi. All the activity leaders are wonderful people as well as the manager. I recommend this campsite to you without hesitation.

Perfect guide and clear in the explanations. The tour is highly recommended. Unfortunately 5 sites in one day are really a lot to see and appreciate in their entirety. It remains, however, an excellent experience that is well-managed overall.

I did this tour because I bought the 10-day tourist ticket and this knocked off 4 sites on it. If I had to do over, I would instead do a day trip just to Pisac. All the archeological sites we went to were nice but I don't think it's worth spending so much time driving around for. One annoyance was the tour group wanted a completely useless zoom call . It could just be an email! Another annoyance was that we spent time at places designed to get you to spend money rather than the archeological sites I was interested in,

I have a mobility problem but I decided to do the script. It is possible to visit all the points, some I decided not to do to save me. The guide Vanessa was quite punctual and worried about my well-being. I recommend.

Excellent structure to the day. Edwardo informed us that he had changed the itinerary to allow us to have more time and space at both sights wr visited. Edwardo imparted his extensive knowledge and pitched the tours at the right level.

To be fair, the tour company was upfront about the length of the day and the amount of time spent in the van — so no complaints there. But several things impacted our experience, and honestly, it started before we even left the city. We were told to be at San Pedro Market for pickup between 6:40 and 7:00. At 6:35, the driver messaged saying he'd be leaving by 6:45. We had two children with us and had to run to make it. Not a great way to start a 12-hour day — and unfortunately, it set the tone for everything that followed. The highlight of the day, without question, was Chinchero — particularly the women’s demonstration of traditional alpaca textile-making at the very start. It was authentic, unhurried, and genuinely moving to witness. That experience alone reminded us why we came. As a photographer, some of my favorite images come from the in-between moments — the walk to a site, the quiet details along the way, the things most people walk past. On this tour, that was never possible. The pace was so rushed that there was no time to stop, look around, or capture anything outside of the designated stops. Those are often the most memorable shots, and they were completely lost to the hurry. The back of the van had zero ventilation and was miserably hot all day. When I told the guide I wasn't feeling well, he brushed it off without any concern. Being in the back also meant we were always the last ones off at every stop, and the guide never waited — he'd already be moving through the site by the time we caught up. Lunch was genuinely bad — not just underwhelming, but bad enough that it's worth calling out specifically. For a full-day tour at this price point, the meal should be a highlight, or at least acceptable. This was neither. The gem and stone shop was listed on the itinerary, so no surprise there — but after a long, exhausting day, it felt like a poor use of the little energy we had left. Worth knowing going in so you can mentally prepare. The Sacred Valley itself is breathtaking and worth every bit of effort to see. But the execution of this tour fell short in ways that could easily be fixed.
