Trip was well organized and our tour guide Jesus was really kind, and timely and kept the tour moving. We had a lot of stops and we felt there was enough time to move through them. Hotel pick up was convenient and the lunch buffet was really yummy and great atmosphere. Only thing was a small confusion about having the tourist tickets as some people in the group had them included and some didn’t but it was easy enough to get the at the locations. They accommodated vegetarians. Get ready for a day of walking and definitely have some cash with you.
Our guide Emil provided consistently interesting information about the places we visited. He was very easy to listen to and was extremely nice. As a tourist, one should be aware that this (and all other tours with this route) is really a lot for one day. As a result, there is little time to explore at each individual location. The restaurant for the included lunch was excellent.
Excellent tour and our tour guide Julio was phenomenal. Lots of interesting places and breathtaking views.
Our tour guide always made sure we were on time, which is why it may feel rushed to some people. However, this made sure we were always one of the first groups at each attraction, as many other tour companies had similar itineraries. We were even first to lunch, which was delicious! However, at some stops, I felt almost pressured to buy things such as clothing and jewelry. I think this part of the tour should be scrapped.
Thank you for sharing such detailed and constructive feedback. We are thrilled to hear that our guide's punctuality allowed you to beat the crowds, be the first at each beautiful attraction, and enjoy a delicious lunch ahead of schedule! We also appreciate your honest comment regarding the shopping stops. These visits are intended to showcase local craftsmanship and support traditional artisans in the communities we visit, but there should never be any pressure to purchase. Your comfort is our top priority, and we will certainly discuss your feedback with our team and partners to ensure a more relaxed experience for everyone. Thank you for choosing Explora Perú Tours, and we hope to welcome you back for another great adventure in the future! Best regards

A great way to experience a lot of what the Sacred Valley has to offer in 1 day. Would highly recommend - Emil was great and was happy to answer all of our questions.

For reference, me and my friend (both 22-year-old Canadian girls) absolutely loved this experience. It felt super safe, fun, and we got to see so many spots that we definitely wouldn’t have been able to visit during only a 5-day stay in Cusco. That being said, be prepared: this day is LONG. Personally, I’d recommend stopping in Ollantaytambo for the night and taking the train to Machu Picchu the next day. Otherwise, you end up doing a 2-hour bus ride back to Cusco after the tour just to see one more site, then another 2-hour bus ride back to Ollantaytambo the next day because that’s where the train leaves from. Save yourself the extra 4 hours on a bus 😭. One tip: buy the 70-sol tickets in advance in Cusco the day before. If you wait to get them with the guide, you can end up waiting forever because tons of tour companies are lining up too, which made our whole group run late. The food was great and our guide Julio was honestly the best. If you’re doing the full tour and ending up in Pisac, bring cash because the souvenirs are INSANELY cheap. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it, but just know it’s a huge day and pretty fast-paced. We mainly wanted cute pictures and to see a lot in a short amount of time, so it was perfect for us. But if you’re someone super into history and wanting more time at each site, I probably wouldn’t recommend this specific tour.
Hi girls! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and helpful review. We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you felt safe, had fun, and managed to check so many incredible spots off your Cusco bucket list during your 5-day stay! I will be sure to pass your kind words along to Julio—he will be so happy to know he made your experience even more special (and that you got those cute pictures!). Your logistics tips are amazing and incredibly valuable for future travelers. You are completely right: it is a very intense, fast-paced day designed for those who want to maximize their time. Stopping in Ollantaytambo to catch the train to Machu Picchu is indeed an excellent strategy to avoid extra travel time, and buying the 'Boleto Turístico' (tourist ticket) in advance is always a great way to save time at the checkpoints. Thank you again for choosing us, for supporting the local artisans in Pisac, and for sharing your journey. Safe travels on all your future adventures around the world!
