We compared notes with other travelers who did group tours, and we clearly had a better experience. Less waiting, more learning, and amazing food. The views at Ollantaytambo are unforgettable.
Everything was seamless from pickup to drop-off. Our guide answered every question in depth. The VIP label is deserved small details like bottled water and flexible timing made a big difference.
I appreciated how the tour included community interaction, not just ruins. The weaving demo was led by a kind local woman. Maras is stunning in the afternoon light. Money well spent.
It has been an incredible experience, with comfort and punctuality in the transfers. We loved the experience in Chincheros and the weaving; we would gladly return. Salkantay Travel Peru, 100% recommended.
Excellent VIP tour of the Sacred Valley. All very well organized and complete, visiting amazing places like Chinchero, Maras, Moray and Ollantaytambo. At this time, the landscape is especially green and beautiful, which makes the experience even more special. We thank the agency team for their great attention and professionalism. Fully recommended!
We did this tour in February as a couple and it was a fantastic experience. We visit stunning places like Chinchero, Moray, the Salineras de Maras and Ollantaytambo, each with landscapes and lots of history. Everything was very well organized and our guide explained each place very interestingly. It is certainly a perfect tour to know the best of the Sacred Valley in one day. 🌄
We booked a private tour with Jorge to the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, and a city tour. Everything was well organized for a group of 7 adults, with timetables, sufficient information about the locations, and good recommendations. All of the above without time pressure and with kindness from the guide Jorge. Thank you very much, we had a great time.
