Combo Vallée Sacrée Pisac Mines de sel et Ollantaytambo

We had a great time on this full-day Sacred Valley tour from Cusco. We contacted the tour group, Willka Travel, directly through email before the trip, and they were quick to respond and answer any questions we had. We chose this tour because it was a listed as a small group. We had 6 people total. It may cost a little more but well worth it and so much better than the large groups. Once we arrived in Peru, communication through WhatsApp was also excellent before and throughout the trip, which made everything easy and stress-free. The itinerary was well organized and allowed us to visit several important places in one day, including Pisac, Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, Urubamba, and Ollantaytambo. Our guide, Santiago, was excellent. He spoke English very well, was friendly and engaging, and was very knowledgeable about every place we visited. His explanations at each stop helped us better understand the history, culture, and importance of the ruins, terraces, salt mines, and local communities. One thing we really appreciated was that we did not have to return all the way to Cusco at the end of the tour. Instead, we were able to get off in Ollantaytambo and catch the train to Machu Picchu, which worked out perfectly for our travel plans. This is a great option for other travelers who are planning to continue on to Machu Picchu after visiting the Sacred Valley. Overall, it was a fun, informative, and beautiful day, and we would highly recommend both this tour and Santiago as a guide.

I had one of whe best tours today while staying in cusco. Our tour guide, Juan, was very knowledgeable and took time to explain the history of various sites visited. Also met new friends.

Great day exploring the Sacred Valley. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the whole trip feel easy. Pisac, Moray, the Salt Mines, and Ollantaytambo were all worth it!

Very interesting tour with a great guide, Rafael, who was very motivated and knowledgeable. We really liked the combination of Pisac, Maras, Moray, and Ollantaytambo, and it is easily doable in one day. The lunch buffet was also good.

It was interesting! All the places worth to visit ! Maybe needed more time in the sightseeings so we can enjoy them with no rush! The guide was good ! We made a prive triple trip with a 6seats car though we were 3, really comfortable!

First of all, good communication with the team via WhatsApp (Peruvians use it a lot). The guide "Manu" was early to take us to the van (our hotel being in the steep part of Cusco, it was much more convenient). In total, a minivan with 7 people (including me and my 2 sons), so an optimal group size for us. We started by visiting a cooperative farm for raising llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas, with, of course, the shop that goes with it. This is something you need to be aware of; tourism professionals will inevitably take you to this kind of place at one point or another. Here, the experience with the animals was worth it. Then Pisac, magnificent; we took the time to walk, to get explanations, and Manu was always there to take family photos and answer questions. At Moray, we were monumentally lucky because that day there was a reenactment show of an Inca ceremony on the whole site (report on the previous harvest season, thanks to the gods, etc., in Quechua, a language that Manu speaks). At Maras, the salt mines are great too. The grand finale, Ollantaytambo, a little tour in the town that has kept the structures of the Inca city: paved streets, gutters, house walls, etc., to then arrive at the grandiose temple. 4 magical sites in one day, frankly I recommend it. Only point to change: visit to a silver jewelry store where they show us very briefly the creation processes from the ore... we already had that in Nasca.... Be careful, they sell their silver rings at least as expensive if not more than in France (you can easily find rings in France for 70€, or 273 soles; they sell them for 500 soles or more). .. The lunch is also similar for all organized tours (we did several), meaning in a restaurant made for tourists, very well organized, with a buffet which allows you to avoid wasting time. So, meh for the "local" aspect, but personally I like it because it allows you to spend more time at the sites than eating. Plus, in this case, this buffet was very good. Left around 6:30 AM and we got back around 7:00 PM... superb day. Super guide and a top-notch driver (I sat in the front, great thrills passing in the mountains!)

Amazing experience for us! The communication with tour operator was easy, they sent us all information about pick up time and our guide. The tour was great, we visited amazing places. The guide took care about us carefully, he told us many interesting information about the places and he organised everything smoothly. We had comfortable car and because we were a small group - only 6 people, we enjoyed all places a lot. The lunch was perfect too!!! We really recommend this tour.

Amazing experience! We saw so many incredible things. Our guides timed everything perfectly to avoid crowds at each location we stopped. This is a wonderful tour and teaches a lot about Peru.

This Sacred Valley tour was one of the best experiences of our trip to Peru! Starting from Ollantaytambo, we visited Pisac, Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, and Chinchero. Every destination was unique, beautiful, and full of fascinating history. Our guide was outstanding—knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. He explained the history, culture, agriculture, and engineering of the Inca civilization in a way that was easy to understand and made every site come alive. We especially appreciated that he took the time to answer questions and never rushed the group. The transportation was comfortable, well organized, and punctual. The itinerary was well planned, giving us enough time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. A big thank you to our guide and driver for their kindness, professionalism, and excellent service. They made this a smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Peru. It offers the perfect combination of stunning landscapes, rich history, and authentic cultural experiences. Five stars!

Great experience. Juan was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Would recommend this tour and Juan to everyone
