My favorite excursion because I have more contact with my passengers to show them my culture and the benefits of this productive valley that feeds many generations to this day 🤗🇵🇪
A beautiful experience that we lived in cuzco with the frankly guide, the driver Miguel and the team of Inkayni tours, we stayed 6 days in tours and each was special and wonderful, we loved the attention and organization they carried in each tour, we highly recommend an excellent option to take your tours. Thank you for all your attention. 👍🏻⛰🤗😊
A fascinating tour with an amazing history. The Inca culture contains many stories that you will surely love to hear. Enterprise who made us the private tour Kantu Peru Tours excellent! Service over 100, kindness, compliance and know very well about the Inca culture. Highly recommended!
We just returned from a perfect tour day. Our guide Jonathan, was incredible! Very knowledgeable, flexible and such a nice young man. And our driver, Percy, was excellent. We plan to refer this tour company and specifically Jonathan to others we know who are considering such a trip. Thank you, Jonathan!
Dear MarRon, it's nice to hear from you! Our guide Jonathan is happy to know that your tour with him was incredible and perfect. He feels that he did good job with you. Kind regards, INKAYNI EPRU TOURS.
We did a private tour of the Sacred Valley with Inkayni Peru Tours. They were a great company to deal with as they kept us informed from the day we booked to the day of our tour. This is a great tour as it goes in the opposite direction of other Sacred Valley tour companies. We had Jaime-Yiyo as our guide and he was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, informative and spoke perfect English. He knew a lot of history. Our driver Bernardo was excellent and drove with safety in mind.
Dear Andrea, for us it's good to know that our guide Jaime could provide you a fantastic tour. We thanks you the trust placed in us for your visit in Cusco - Peru. Hope you come back soon! Kind regards, INKAYNI PERU TOURS.
Excellent tour and guide. It's the only way to see the area with an understanding. You really can't do it on your own. We had a great bus and driver and guide for our party of 4. Our guide spoke perfect English and was quite knowledgeable. I will say, when you see how the wool is made and have an opportunity to buy you really should take full advantage. We bought a few scarves thinking we would see the same quality and prices other places, but we really didn't. The quality and prices were unmatched. It's a full day from Cusco. Take some cash. You'll pay an Enterance fee the first place you go and they'll give you a ticket. Keep the ticket; it's your Enterance fee to other stops as well. We felt this was very good value for our money. We highly recommend this tour.
Dear Customer, thank you so much for your comment, we are happy to know that you had an excellent tour and guide during your Sacred valley tour. We hope you can come back soon! Kind regards, INKAYNI PERU TOURS.
Our travel advisor with Tierra Viva Hotels organized our private tours for us. She arranged tours with the best guide in the Sacred Valley, Dionel Baca Collantes. Dionel was our guide for the tour of the Pisaq ruins and town/market. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Sacred Valley and brings it to life right before your eyes. Dionel goes above and beyond to personalize the experience too, which we truly appreciated. We requested Dionel for other tours during our stay. So, he also gave us tours of Ollantaytambo and the Cusco City Tour too. Dionel made each experience feel special. The Scared Valley is a region that can offer transformational experiences, so it is important to have a tour guide that truly cares about his clients and their experience. In all of me travels, Dionel has been the best tour guide!!!
Dear Meander, thank you so much for your commentary. For us i's good to know that you had a personalize experience during your Sacred valley tour with the company of our guide Dionel, he feels that he did a good job. Kind regards, INKAYNI PERU TOURS.
Very interesting the demonstration of wool preparation and the artisanal confection of the pieces! I found the part of the ruins a little weak...I expected more...but anyway, it is worth seeing!
Dear Customer, many thanks for your commentary, It is good to know that you had an interesting tour during your visit to the Sacred valley. We hope you have a nice memories of us. Kind regards, INKAYNI PERU TOURS,
Kennedy and our driver picked us up at 8 AM at our hotel. They gave us each a company Peruvian satchel with water. Driving time between each stop is about an hour long. Kennedy spoke good English, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would take this tour again and specifically request Kennedy! We had a buffet style lunch, which was better than I expected. Overall, we all had a great time.
Dear Nancy, many thanks for your commentary. We are happy to know that you had an informative tour during the sacred valley tour. Our guide Kennedy is grateful with your review because he feels that he did a good job. We hope you have the best memories of us. Kind regards, INKAYNI PERU TOURS.
Scored myself and my partner a private tour with Bobby. Such a friendly and very knowledgeable guide which knew all the little things most groups would miss. Very chilled out never rushing us and knows if we’re out of breath. Awesome locations on this tour to fit in a day. Very great guide and fantastic locations, learnt a lot too, highly recommend!
