Beste authentieke culturele ervaring in de Heilige Vallei

Raul facilitated an amazing experience for our family. We wanted to meaningful interaction and that’s what we got with an Incan family.

This tour was the highlight of our trip. Trying all the street food and different produce in the Urubamba market with our educated guide was awesome. We had already been to ollantaytambo, so instead he took us to a Chicheria to drink chicha and play a local drinking game. From there, we got to meet the kindest family from Patacancha who taught us weaving basics, their way of life, and cooked a traditional Pachamanka lunch for us. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to get away from all the super tourist heavy spots, and enjoy a more local feel.

This was an excellent day. Miguel our guide was very knowledgeable and explained the history and culture of the Inca temple and plant laboratory so well, and, mafe the salt mining so understandable. The restaurant he took us to was a delight. He was also very helpful and accommodating when one of our party was unwell. Thank you.

Our Peru trip was made perfect because of Oscar and his team! From the initial contact, refining our itinerary, to every stop of our Peru adventure, Oscar and Cintya from Exclusive Inka Tour handled every detail of our trip with top-notch professionalism, utmost care, and gracious sincerity! Our family of five (parents and two college-age plus one tween children) experienced six incredible days in Peru thanks to EIT! Our family’s only regret is that we didn’t have more days to spend with Oscar! Day 1 - From our arrival in Cusco airport, Oscar took care to remind us to take it easy with the altitude change. We enjoyed a leisurely visit to the animal sanctuary, and Pisac ruins as Oscar introduced the Sacred Valley to us: its rich history, fascinating food, and people! We stopped by the Pisac market and enjoyed a lovely lunch before he settled us in our beautiful resort in Urubamba! Day 2 -Our first full day in the Sacred Valley couldn’t be more perfect as Oscar drove and guided us in Chinchero, Mara’s Salt mines and Moray Terraces. Oscar was enthusiastic, creative, and so much fun, always actively engaging our children of various ages. We especially loved the lunch stop at a mountain lodge where the spectacular Andean peaks took our breath away and the whole family enjoyed feeding the hungry llamas! All of us enjoyed Oscar’s insights to the rich cultural heritage of the valley! Day 3 - Once we were acclimated, Oscar took care of booking us an exhilarating morning climbing 400m up the granite face via Ferrata followed by zip lining. After an incredible morning, he kept us motivated to hike to the top of the beautiful Ollantaytambo fortress to learn of its incredible Incan history! He even arranged for us to join a remote local family for a pachamanca meal where we donned ponchos, skirts, and colorful felt hats and were greeted warmly by the family that served us the meal. Day 4/5 - Oscar and Cintya kept us in great hands by arranging all of our Machu Picchu transfers and having Victor as our MP guide for two days! Van, train, bus transfers went smoothly and Victor was a wonderful guide with extraordinary photography skills! The pacing was perfect both days as he shared a great deal of background info and still gave us leisure time to soak in the surrounding and roam around! Marco was a pleasant driver for both days! Day 6 - Lima City Tour / transfers - Oscar’s team continued to deliver with seamless transfers in Lima as well as our city tour. Our guide Brenda was knowledgeable and flexible to adjust the day according to our interests. All in all, Oscar and his team made our Peruvian dream come true. We learned so much from Oscar and had such rich conversations! Each member of our family agreed that it was our best family trip thanks to Oscar and his wonderful team - what genuinely wonderful, gracious people with a passion to share Peruvian hospitality, history, and heritage! Look no further - EIT will make your Peruvian dream come true!

It was the most memorable day of our trip when we visited the local family and had lunch with them. Interacting with a a beautiful family and getting to know their traditions was priceless .

We did 4 days of tours with Inka Tour. We know the Sacred Valley (Chincheros, Moray, Maras, Ollantaytambo, Pisac, etc). We were very well attended to by Oscar, who explained the cultural aspects of this rich region to us in great detail. It was essential for us to make the most of our visit to Cusco and the region.

We weren't fully sure what to expect on this day tour, leaving cusco for a small town we hadn't heard of in the Sacred Valley, but it far exceeded our expectations! Oscar was such a knowledgeable and friendly local guide with super good english, picking us up from Cusco to start the tour in Urubamba, where we got to taste some yummy new foods in the local market. Urubamaba is a really cute local town, which made a change to the bustling tourism in cusco. Next, we visited Ollantaytambo, an ancient Inka town - the history of the place was so cool and the views amazing. Finally, the best bit of the trip, we ended in Patacancha, which is a small Andean community nestled in the mountains. We got to meet and cook with the locals, trying some amazing food and learning about their culture. I've visited other Andean communities in the past, but this experience felt really authentic. All in all, a great day, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a real authentic experience outside of the tourism bubble of Cusco!! Thank you, Exclusive Inka Tour

Gorki was excellent! His English was very good and he was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. I especially appreciated him taking me to places where I wanted authenticity without the tourist price tag. If you book a trip, book with Gorki!
