This was a near 12h tour not half day as sold. Then I was told that lunch for me was not included as it was for the others on the group and I would have to pay the tour guide separately if I want to eat. Then the tour itself… They wasted to much time trying to take us to useless places like a Silver Jewellery shop to give us a talk on how they made items. Then took us to a local garment place to get us to buy items. The trouble was by the time we got out the garment place it was getting dark, cold and started raining. They could have taken us there last as it was indoor. Lastly, they didn’t drop us back to our hotel. Just the central point and told us all to make our own way back to our hotels. I’m not booking with you again.
We regret to read your review and see that you did not like the tour, but since it is a shared tour there are some things that are not included and since it is a shared tour we leave you at a central point so that you can return.
This was advertised as a half day tour. It was 11 hours in total. I quest 12 hours is a half day. As I was with a group, I was stuck. They also had two gift shop stops that were not listed on the itinerary.
The tour to the Sacred Valley is a long tour, it is impossible to finish early. We, like other travel agencies, do the same itinerary. If you had any other activity afterwards, you should have told us so we could suggest a solution.
I am giving this tour 5 Stars because of my tour guide Deanna. She was fantastic. Our lunch was top notch and delicious. Other than that there were not a ton of positives. The pickup was about 30 minutes later than communicated time. Try he transport van had no AC. Trip said we would arrive back in Cusco at 7pm. We did not arrive until 8:30 pm. I had another tour starting at 3 am so I was stressed about finding dinner and getting to bed on time. Give yourself time Incase you are 1.5 hrs late. (Lots of walking and climbing stairs at the sites you visit)
The hotel pick up was efficient, guide was knowledgeable and friendly and the tour was scenic and informative and enjoyable.
