Great Day Trip & Tour Guide - Alfredo was a great tour guide! He shared so much knowledge about the different areas and Inca sites. We were able to spend more time actually exploring and learning verse waiting in the long group tour lines. Definitely recommend.

Day trip to Sacred Valley and beyond - We had the pleasure of a private tour with Alfonso and Alfredo to the fabulous sites for a full day. Their extensive knowledge was invaluable. Nothing was too hard for them. The tour avoided many of the crowds and took some of the off the beaten tracks to see things big tours would miss. It was a highlight of our trip.

Best Guide and Driver - Alfredo and his driver, Marco customized a Sacred Valley Tour that meet our interest and timeline. Alfredo is super knowledgeable and accommodating. We have had numerous tours and guides during our Peruvian adventures and we appreciated the care and attention that Alfredo provided. He is head and shoulders above the rest

Positive in every way - Our guide Alfredo was absolutely incredible! He did a great job explaining everything as we went, took plenty of time for photos and never made us feel rushed. I also definitely recommend a tour of this area. I had skipped it last time I was in Peru and some things are more impressive than Machu Picchu. Me and my wife had an awesome time

Helpful and excellent tour guide! - Our tour guide, Alfredo, was excellent and very helpful. He adjusted the tour for our specific duration and places we wanted to cover. He paced the tours for our family and even dropped us at the airport. We had ran out of cash for the entry fees that had to be paid in soles. He lent us the cash and took us to an ATM where we could withdraw to repay him. His helpfulness in a foreign country and care to show the best views of the sites were priceless. He knew the right spots to take our family pictures. Thank you Alfredo!

This was a highlight of our trip - This tour through the Sacred Valley was awesome! We learned so much and Alfredo our guide was top notch. Alfredo made sure that we were comfortable throughout the entire tour and his planning of the day enabled us to beat the crowds at every stop. Alfredo is super passionate about Incan history and it made learning about it, that much more enjoyable. Highly recommend.

An unforgettable experience! - An unforgettable experience!
We took a full day tour of the Sacred Valley Maras Moray and the Salt Mines with Alfredo as our guide and driver. Alfredo was a very safe driver and a courteous and knowledgeable guide.
The sites we saw were so awe-inspiring, often leaving us speechless, but Alfredo’s great depth of knowledge of both Inca and pre-Inca history and culture filled in any gaps where we may have had questions, had our brains been able to ask them.
The altitude was high and Alfredo was sure to check on how we were doing regularly.
The restaurant we stopped at offered a buffet with amazing options.
All in all it was a truly spectacular tour that we would highly recommend - so much so that we plan to book additional tours with Alfredo before our time in Peru is up!
