⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Outstanding Sacred Valley, Moray, Maras & Cusco Tour with Yupi Travel Machupicchu** After our unforgettable Machu Picchu experience, we booked the **Sacred Valley, Moray, Maras Salt Mines and Cusco city tour** with **Yupi Travel Machupicchu**, and once again it exceeded every expectation. Michael was our guide throughout, and by the end of the trip we felt we had travelled with a knowledgeable friend rather than just a tour guide. Michael has an exceptional command of Inca history, archaeology, agriculture and Andean culture. At **Moray**, he explained how the remarkable circular terraces functioned as an agricultural research centre, where the Incas created different microclimates to test crops, multiply seeds and improve varieties. As a plant physiologist, I found his explanations particularly fascinating because he connected history, agriculture and science in a way that made the site come alive. At the **Maras Salt Mines**, Michael described how a naturally saline spring has been feeding thousands of salt evaporation ponds since pre-Inca times. He explained the traditional harvesting methods that local families still follow today and how the salt industry has supported the community for centuries. He even pointed out marine shell fossils in the surrounding rocks and explained how this region of Peru was once covered by a shallow sea millions of years ago before the Andes were uplifted. It was a wonderful blend of geology, history and culture. Our **Cusco city tour** was equally impressive. Michael walked us through the magnificent Inca stonework, the Temple of the Sun (Qorikancha), colonial churches and the historic plazas, carefully explaining how Spanish colonial architecture was built upon Inca foundations. His storytelling helped us understand not only the monuments but also the remarkable history of the Inca civilization and its legacy. One thing that pleasantly surprised us was Michael's knowledge of **birds**. He is an excellent bird enthusiast with a keen eye and remarkable ability to spot species that most of us would have walked straight past. Along the route he regularly stopped to point out birds perched high in the trees or soaring over the valley, and helped us identify several species, including some that are endemic to the Andes. His enthusiasm for nature added an entirely new dimension to the tour and made the journey between destinations just as enjoyable as the sites themselves. What also sets Michael apart is his patience and willingness to answer every question, whether it was about archaeology, agriculture, geology, local traditions, wildlife or modern Peru. He never rushed us, always made sure everyone was comfortable, and shared countless interesting stories that you simply would not find in guidebooks. The entire tour was exceptionally well organised, with punctual transportation, excellent communication and a perfectly paced itinerary. Every destination was given enough time to explore and appreciate without ever feeling hurried. If you are looking for a tour company in Peru that combines professionalism, reliability and genuine passion for sharing their country's heritage, I wholeheartedly recommend **Yupi Travel Machupicchu**. And if you are fortunate enough to have **Michael** as your guide, you are in for an unforgettable experience. His knowledge, warmth, enthusiasm and love for Peru made our Sacred Valley journey every bit as memorable as our visit to Machu Picchu itself. Thank you, Michael, for giving us not just a tour, but a deeper understanding of the history, science, culture and natural beauty of Peru.

Very good the tour and even more attentive and well cheerful guide the whole way optimal explanations about the Inca history

We did the Vip tour of the Sacred Valley and we were grateful with our guide Jesu, who speaks an impeccable portunhol, explains very well, in addition to being a great photographer.

We booked four tours with Inti: City Tour, Sacred Valley, Vinicunca Mountain and Humantay Laguna. We closed the tours directly at the agency and were well served. All took place in the best possible way, punctual in the retreats and return, with excellent guides who made the experiences even better. Congratulations and thanks to guides Alfredo, Romário, Jesus and a young woman who unfortunately do not remember the name (City Tour) who in addition to sharing a lot of historical and interesting information, were funny and optimized the tours so that you could make the most of it, since they are all very running due to the distances, the number of stops, etc... I highly recommend the agency, it has a great cost benefit! Just as advice to improve the company, we had a little difficulty communicating via whatsapp before closing the tours, which left us a little worrying since we were already in Cusco. Also in relation to the sacred valley walk, for people who will stay in Olantaytambo to follow Machu Picchu, if possible do not need to take them to the station or hotel, since the city is small and this ends up delaying a little the last stop that is Pisca, which in our case unfortunately we can not know the archaeological site. But in no way disqualifies the great overall experience we had.

The tour was very good, the weather in each place was satisfactory, with explanation about the local history and waiting for photos. The Jesu guide is very nice and well acquainted with the history of the indigenous peoples.

My husband and I ran into the protest during our trip to Machupicchu in September 2025. Jesus was so helpful and arranged alternative route for us, so we would not miss it. He goes out of his way to make sure our stay is comfortable and enjoyable. I could not ask for a better agency to arrange my dream trip. I highly recommend them!

We came to Cusco and all the tours we did by the agency INTI SUN TREK, where we were in Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, Colorful Mountain, Humantay Lagoon, City Tour by the sights, etc. All the guides were kind, educated and attentive.

We had an amazing day on our private Sacred Valley Tour! Our guide Ulrich spoke great English, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We were able to hit all the main spots of interest, and Ulrich was able to tailor the tour to our personal requests as we went. Our driver Redy made sure we had a spacious and clean vehicle to travel in, and that we got everywhere on time. I highly recommend booking this tour and requesting Ulrich as your guide. I also recommend reaching out to the tour company at least 24 hours in advance to confirm all the tour details. The private tour does cost slightly more than the large group tours we encountered on the way, but so worth it in the end!
