Our favorite guide in Sacred Valley
We did two private tours with Apu Ausangate - a Sacred Valley tour from Ollantaytambo to Cusco (Maras, Moray, Chinchero, etc.) and a Rainbow Mountain tour from Cusco. For both of them we had the same guide, Jonny, who was fantastic. They were very accommodating about pickups and start times. Jonny went above and beyond - directing traffic, calming us down when we panicked about the elevation, and telling us all about the sights we were seeing in an engaging manner. Definitely recommend!

Amazing Day Trip in the Sacred Valley
Request Charly!!!!! Wow, what an amazing day!! Our tour guide Charly was incredible, so king and knowledgeable. We visited several sights and had lunch at a great spot. I wish we could book every tour with Charly. We spent a great length of time at each location and the admissions fees to the sites were so reasonable. The atmosphere was great and Charly led us to the best spots with few crowds. This is best for anyone interested in learning more about Peru and the Sacred Valley. Peru is phenomenal!

Perfect Private Tour
Our private tour of the Sacred Valley with Charly as our guide was perfect. Charly made our experience so memorable with his deep and passionate knowledge of the sites we visited. He had a true caring for our experience and took some amazing pictures for us. In addition, our driver for the day John was efficient and friendly, always in the right spot to move seamlessly between sites. I would highly recommend booking a tour with this company, specifically with Charly if you can.
