Valle Sacra full day - The day was intense and full of discoveries, starting at 7am and ending around 6:30pm. The tour took us through some of the most fascinating UNESCO archaeological sites, including Pisac and Moray, the Maras salt pans and through the alleys of Ollantaytambo. In addition to the extraordinary beauty of these places, we had the opportunity to visit an artisan jewelry store in Pisac, where we admired the craftsmanship of local artisans. Another part of the tour that we greatly enjoyed was discovering the quality of the craft and artistic creations of the place a real textile museum. It was amazing to see up close how these traditions are still alive and respected. Jennifer, our Guide, shared with us fascinating stories and details about the culture, traditions and extraordinary engineering achievements of the Incas. Thanks to his passion and deep knowledge, we could appreciate even more the historical importance of the sites we visited. His ability to bring these stories to life has greatly enriched our experience, allowing us to see these places with new eyes and better understand their meaning. Jennifer was fun, thoughtful and shared with us valuable tips on where to buy local products ethically, which we greatly enjoyed. Our driver, Elvis, who was impeccable in every aspect. He picked us up and drove us home in a clean new vehicle. His Guide was safe and professional throughout the trip. Lunch included was served in a large tourist facility offering a wide range of Peruvian cuisine with a pleasant live music background. To conclude it was an unforgettable day in the company of enthusiastic professionals of their land!

Just magical sacred valley tour! - We did the full tour of the Sacred Valley with our Guide Mikhail, and it was an amazing experience. Mikhail was a spectacular Guide; you could tell he had impressive knowledge and wisdom, and being indigenous to the Sacred Valley, every story and experience he shared with us was simply magical. We visited a lot of stunning places like Maras, Moray, Ollantaytambo, and even an alpacas estate that, honestly, was the most beautiful experience of my life. We also passed a textile mill, saw the panorama of the entire Sacred Valley, and went to Pisac and a local jewelry place where they explained everything about quartz. In short, it was a magical experience from start to finish. I totally recommend this company!

Amazing all around!! - We are only two days into our full machu pichu experience and already loving it!! We started with the half day city Cusco tour followed by the full day sacred valley tour, both guided by Johnny - absolutely incredible! He is so passionate about the Quechua culture and history, and his way of being is inspirational. Always focused on enjoying the moment, nature, and practicing gratitude. We enjoyed some incredible sights, delicious food, and fabulous company. Thank you to Giovanni and Junior for driving us safely through the narrow mountain roads! We’re off to trek to Machu Pichu tomorrow but highly recommend even the two day experience we’ve had so far!

Memories with family in the Sacred Valley - We had an amazing time on the sacred valley tour. Our guide Katia made the experience memorable. She was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. She provided our family with the rich history and background about the sacred valley. Katia took the time to take several pictures and was extremely patient with our young kids. I highly recommend anyone wanting to see the sacred valley to ask for Katia.
