Guys, Alfredo is the best guide we've ever known. I highly recommend, as we took a private tour with him. He picked us up and left where we were. Very attentive and taught everything, even to my youngest son. It's worth it!
We had a fantastic experience with our tour guide Alfredo! We highly recommend this day trip. Alfredo was very knowledgeable and fluent in English. It was a lot of fun to learn so much about the Inka culture and history. You could tell that Alfredo loves this country and its rich history which made this tour unforgettable. The driver Alfonso was great too. We felt safe at all times. Pick up and drop off was as agreed upon on time. Very professional.
The tour with Alfredo was excellent! He knew the best spots and the history behind everything. It was a great learning experience!
We took a private tour to ride from our hotel in Cusco to Urubamba. It was a very enjoyable experience that our tour guide, Alfredo, cover several attractions with good explanations of the sites. A fun day to reach our hotel in Urubamba!
Dear passenger, Thank you very much for your review, it was a pleasure for us to provide you with the best experience in the Sacred Valley.
Amazing experience with Alfredo and Alfonso. Extremely recommended. They were very flexible with the pick up point and they organise for us the best tour plan ever changing the stops based on our needs. Alfredo was extremely professional and really well prepared.
We had the best day on this tour! You will leave feeling like you’ve seen all the highlights from the sacred valley. Our guide, Alfredo, was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the Incas and the various sites. We learned a lot! The itinerary itself was also great. It’s an 11 hour day, which is ambitious, but Alfredo and our driver, Alfonso, made the whole experience go by fast. They also knew which areas to go to first to avoid the really large tour bus crowds - at each site, we were leaving as those groups were entering. I will recommend this tour and company to anyone coming to Cusco.

I really enjoyed learning about the Inca people and their amazing culture. The pace of the day is just right, the host is informative and funny, the driver is safe and professional!
Alfredo was a great tour guide! He shared so much knowledge about the different areas and Inca sites. We were able to spend more time actually exploring and learning verse waiting in the long group tour lines. Definitely recommend.
We had an amazing tour of the Sacred Valley. Alfredo was great. He took us to all the places and spent time explaining everything. Alfredo drove us around the Sacred Valley with great skill. I would highly recommend this tour with Alfredo.
We had the pleasure of a private tour with Alfonso and Alfredo to the fabulous sites for a full day. Their extensive knowledge was invaluable. Nothing was too hard for them. The tour avoided many of the crowds and took some of the off the beaten tracks to see things big tours would miss. It was a highlight of our trip.
