インカの聖なる谷–5つの象徴的な遺跡を発見+マラス＆ウツボ

We went so many different places in 1 day! We saw 5 of the most well known historical sites in the Sacred Valley as well as 3 different experiences 1. Salt & Chocolate Tasting at a store that sold it. 2. Inca traditional culture including watching them clean wool with a traditional root, dancing, and spinning llama yarn, then we could buy (I felt a little pressure to buy) 3.Traditional jewelry making with an option to buy at the jewelry shop. Lunch was included and it's the biggest buffet I ever saw and everything was delicious!!! Word to the wise: I went the day after I flew in and had major altitude sickness. I had to stop climbing and had to sit a lot. Give yourself a day or two to climatize. We walked an climbed steps all day. We were very tired at the end of the day, but it was worth it! Also close your eyes on some of the roads, they are very steep and narrow.

The tour is spectacular. Each of the places visited has its own unique charm and beauty. The landscape and tranquility of nature made this an unforgettable trip. In addition, we had enough time at each stop to take pictures and enjoy the surroundings. The Guide had too much patience during the tour and the buffet lunch was varied and rich.

I travelled solo for this trip and happened to finish off my cash the night before as i was in Machu Pichu. This tour started at 7am and i did not have the time to go to the ATM. And this tour is very tight on schedule and there is no ATM along the way, only in the city. My guide Alex was super helpful and he actually paid for my ticket first so i could give him back later by end of the day. It is a very kind gesture on him and thanks to him, i could manage to visit all the sites.

Unfortunately I had to suspend and abandon the tour after lunch due to personal problems and I was not able to visit everything. Judging by what I visited, it was a fantastic tour, especially with the tour guy who was really fun and engaging. Of course, like many other tour operators, they make stops in some places to allow visitors to discover more about the Inca/Peruvian culture, but some of these places are just tourist traps , but it is not mandatory to purchase anything. I had some problems and they helped me find a taxi to leave the tour and go back to Cusco. I would still recommend this tour operator 100%!

Potential improvements: - The tour includes visits to three different stores; weaving/textiles, salt/chocolate/coffee and jewellery. They all have very pushy selling tactics. These stores have the best products, no doubt about that, but the same goods can be found in Cusco for a much cheaper price. For example, a synthetic poncho costs 180 soles at the weaving factory but we bought the same poncho for 90 soles in Cusco. We bought 1 kg aromatic salt for 45 soles but found out the next day that the exact same brand and salt only costs 18 soles in San Pedro Market. It’s clear that this tour operator cooperates with the visited stores. - The visit to Maras Salt Mines only lasted around 15 minutes and we were only allowed to see Maras from far away at the highest viewpoint. Very disappointing. In addition, the cost for foreigners is 20 soles/person, not 10 soles as stated in the tour description. - Very stressful the whole day and especially to visit the last place (Pisac) before closing. The tour should maybe start earlier? - After a long day when we thought we had visited everything and thought we were going back to Cusco, there was another store visit. Awful tour planning. - It was very warm and we could hardly breathe inside the bus. If the bus had an AC, it was never used. - If you don’t speak Spanish, don’t bother to book this tour. The guide only translated the most important parts. The whole tour was mainly in Spanish and you are going to feel left out. - While waiting at our hotel in the morning, our guide called and asked us to walk one block to meet him and then walk together to the bus. We booked five tours in Peru with different tour operators and this was the first time a guide wouldn’t meet us and pick us up from our hotel. - We weren’t dropped off at Plaza Mayor after the tour as stated in the tour description. We were dropped off 1-2 blocks away. This becomes a big deal after a long day when you are tired. Highlights: + Likeable guide that did his best to make us feel included among the Spanish speaking people. + Complete tour with the most important places to see. No place was like the other. + Tasty buffet lunch with a good variety of dishes.

A wonderful tour. Organized and attentive company. Our guide was spectacular, he understood everything about the places. Congratulations!!

Even though we were delayed a bit because of rain, it was totally worth it! We got to visit several places and had a decent amount of time in each. Got plenty of fun facts and tips on where to take the best pictures! I’d sign up with them again in a heartbeat if I came back and wanted to take people on a tour like this.

Everything perfect, organized down to the smallest details Super recommended. Jorge is very attentive to the customer's needs and ready to help in case of any need

The best experience I could have, the guide was very attentive and cordial, more than anything with my grandparents, he always motivated them to follow all the routes. It was an experience that I would recommend to everyone.
