Full Day in the Sacred Valley - The Pantry of Cusco
Description
Located between the towns of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, following the course of the Vilcanota River, the so-called Sacred Valley of the Incas stretches amidst imposing mountains and snowy peaks. This valley, favored with abundant water and moderate climate is the ideal place for the development of agriculture. For this same reason, the Incas chose this site as a permanent abode. Today, its natural beauty and the growing offer of tourist services make this valley the favorite for outdoor activities and adventure sports.

We are 2 couples who chose to visit Peru for 5 days after we had ended our cruise through the Panama Canal. We contacted Peru-sightseeing and got and answer from Jessica. It seems like she was holding our hands through all the time, when we arrange our trip in Trujillo, Lima and Cusco, and when we were in Peru. She was fantastic. We was keeping in touch all the time via What’s app, and Jessica answered all our questions immidiately. She was always a step in front and everything was so well organized, fantastic guides all the time, and every time we had a wish, she arrange for us. When I had booked a wrong flight from Cusco to Lima when we was going home to Denmark.. who was the one that helped us and fixed everything for us with Latam airway??it was Jessica❤️. We cannot thank her enough🥰. We did not go to Trujillo, because the cruise ship cancelled the arrival. We got most of our money back from Jessica, and she came personal with the money when we were at a cooking lesson we had at a restaurant “ la gran Patrona” in Lima. Fantastic arrangement If we could we will give her a big hug and so much gratitude for everything. We will so much recommend Peru sight-seeing👍👍👍👏

Our family on a leisure vacation to Cusco, Peru had the unique experience and opportunity to be served by the Peru Sightseeing Tours firm. Ricardo from Peru Sightseeing was the assigned tour guide for our family who did an excellent and outstanding work. Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable, kind, courteous and mostly very friendly in his service for us. His expertise and his detailed and passionate explanations were so thorough and helpful. We were totally satisfied and our kudos to him for such a great service. Highly recommend him for your Cusco tours in the near future.
The sites and background information on the history, culture at each site by Ricardo were outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. The driver was courteous and drove well.
Everything is great, thanks for Ruben Cusi for the tour of Cusco and Ricardo for tour of Sacred Valley for today and the driver S and thanks you very much for Eli from Peru for less 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Ricardo was outstanding! Incredibly knowledgeable of Inca history and the sites. He went above and beyond. We had a hotel transfer at the end of our tour, and not only did he bring our luggage in us to the hotel with the driver, but he dragged a massive suitcase up two blocks of stairs into San blas. Truly amazing!
Ricardo was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable about the Sacred Valley, Písaq, and Ollantaytambo. He recommended great places to shop and we really enjoyed the Tunupa Restaurant in Urubamba! Had a great time looking at the Inca ruins. Then he helped us find our hotel when the tour was over. Thank you!
Ricardo was an amazing tour guide. We visited a couple of ruins, markets and buffets for lunch. The ruins we saw was OLLANTAYTAMBO and PISAC. Ricardo was very knowledgeable on explaining the history of Incas. He took his time and made sure we’re doing ok climbing the ruins. Overall it was a great experience.
Ricardo was our guide. I was impressed by how knowledgeable he was about the Incan Empire. I didn’t realize I could learn so much in one tour. He was really fascinating! We also had a buffet lunch(pay extra) that also had Andean music live performers. I thoroughly enjoyed it all. Great job Ricardo!!
Our tour guide, Ricardo, was amazing! He is very knowledgeable and he kept us on schedule to maximize our time in the sacred valley. He took us to all the best spots and provided us with valuable information about each location. It was a a great tour and I highly recommend it.
