They made me wait for 1 hour because they gave me the wrong instructions, scheduling me 1 hour earlier, and when I saw that they were not arriving at the time they mentioned, I tried to contact the agency, and they did not respond until 1 hour later. The visit to Chinchero was almost just seeing it from the outside due to the time and lack of organization. The only good thing about the agency is the guide, who knows a lot of history, and I really enjoyed the visit to the indigenous people who weave and teach you how they process alpaca wool.
A very complete day . We traveled through different towns, saw amazing views, and learned about the Incas while enjoying the beauty of the valley.It was nice to take photos, shop in markets, and enjoy the mountain air.
Tour operator didn't show up despite having re-confirmed a few days prior to tour. I was waiting at pick up point for more than an hour and no-one picked up my calls. My accommodation host had to help out by calling on her phone, which was picked up but the answer was always the same that they would check and call back, but they did not call back. Eventually, I got a message asking me to cancel the tour or reschedule it, for another day. I cancelled it as that was the only day I had in Cusco and I had to reach Aguas Calientes by that evening so booked a cab that took me to Ollantaytambo. I ended up not having the anticipated tour of the Sacred Valley. Overall, not reliable or professional tour operator, who caused me to miss me a much looked forward introduction to the Sacred Valley.
The excursion was incredible, the view is spectacular, without a doubt I would spend this beautiful experience again, I recommend it🤩🥰
Everything, I loved, was a super nice experience, I would choose and repeat thousands of times more.
