It was a wonderful experience with Freddy as our guide, very knowledgeable and took great care of all his group!
We had an amazing trip with Alejandro as our tour guide. He’s extremely well-knowledged about the history of the sacred valley, and we learned a great deal during our visits. On top of that, the 12-hour schedule works very well for us. The pickup was smooth and we have a good amount of time to explore each destination. It was an unforgettable trip for sure. Highly recommend!
Everything was organized perfectly by Tarvos Peru Tours, and our tour guide, Arnold, was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the trip. In addition to making the tour fun and enjoyable, Tarvos Peru Tours and Arnold went above and beyond to help us return to Cusco, even though the tour’s final destination was Ollantaytambo, so we could continue our trip in Peru. We highly recommend Tarvos Peru Tours to anyone visiting Peru.
We took a meaningful tour that showcases the people of the places and, of course, the greatness of Inca engineering. The guide (Fredy) was very friendly and demonstrated knowledge of each place visited. He had a great sense of humor and was very punctual in the pickup (luxury driver, super cautious).
Congratulations to Alejandro, who accompanied us throughout the tour, very prompt, prepared, and organized. Of course, there are many things to see, and time is what it is. Highly recommended experience.
Freddie was a great tour guide! We’ve been on two tours so far, and Freddie’s to the sacred valley is still the best! Plenty of photos, lots of information but not overloading, and everyone in my family had a favorite place the tour offered. It was also great for transit to the Ollantaytambo train station to head to Machu Picchu next!
The guide on arrival to the locations gave general explanations, marked the place and time of meeting and sent us to explore. At one of the stops were 4 people missing and followed the truck, we had to say that people were missing. They didn't even have a flag! Hence not being able to guide the visit to the locations I to understand something of what I was seeing heard the explanation of guides that accompanied groups.
The guide was very kind and charismatic; he was always explaining things to us and gave us tips to make the visit more enjoyable
Carlos, the best guide! His explanation throughout the tour was very good, and there was good energy within the group.
Arno was a great, very devoted guide, spoke perfect English and answered all our questions.
