Great Tour! - Amazing experience, tour guide was excellent and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend doing some research prior to this trip as having some knowledge will make this an even greater tour.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! - She saved us. We hired her the first day and it was amazing. I planned my trip from the US. Through the website Viator, which I don't recommend it because the send you randomly to any tour company. I had the Sacred Valley with another tour company. We were like 15 people in the bus. I requested English Tour. When were in the middle of the tour we decided to jump off the tour and I called Heidi and told her what happened.
She was very understanding, and wanted to solve a problem that was not even hers. She sent us from her company (I didn't hire her company for this tour) a tour guide, only English! It was amazing, my first day tour, 4 ruins and the Sacred Valley with Heidi tours were EXCELLENT. The guides new their job, not to mention their knowledge about what they were talking about. They could expand the conversation to your interest. Some guides they only explain the necessary and try to finish the tour soon, but Jose and Albert were amazing guides. We are the type of people that do all the research before going to a place. Well, they knew all the answers. I highly recommend her!!!!

Great tour, excellent tour guide!! - We took the tour early February, mother-daughter trip.
Pick up was right on time and at the hotel, very easy to communicate with the tour company. Walter was our tour guide, Elvis the driver - very safe driver.
We had an amazing tour, the tour guide is very knowledgable and answered all our questions. Beautiful and very interesting stops (except the jewelry store in Pisac... tourist trap). When we had to climb or do physical effort, the guide gave us enough time and always waited for the group.
Very comfy bus.
We had a wonderful time, we totally recommend to visit and use this tour company!!

sacred valley - Found this tour to be informative and fun. Learnt a lot about Incan ways of life and their invention. The guide was a ntive a person born and raised in the region and had plenty of knowledge about the place and culture and he also spoke good English.

Really, really nice taste of Sacred Valley - The guide, Carlos, was knowledgeable and could be understood. Except for the lunch stop (which was really awful — so I’m glad I brought snacks) I enjoyed the tour. One warning, when trying to do so many things in one day, you get only a taste. This was fine for me, but if you want to explore the archeological sites and commune with nature, find a different mode of transportation. Oh, and bring rain gear if it’s rainy season...even if there’s no rain in Cusco, it may be rainy in the mountains.

Nice tour and friendly staff for a good price - We took this tour and it was better than expected. The tour guide was very nice and our tour was in english only, what was a suprise to us. The lunch was in a buffet Restaurant, which we really enjoyed. A good variety and fresh food. The explanations at the sights were sufficient. The sights itself were crowded, but thats not the issue of the tour. We think this tour was fully worth it.

Great tour, but English speaking guests might be unlucky - We loved all the sites we visited during this packed day of the Sacred Valley tour. Unfortunately we were the only English speaking guests on this tour. That resulted in extensive talks about everything we visited in Spanish, followed by a quick summary in English. The guide did his best, but his English language skills led to us being underwhelmed, and in the end we did get less attention than Spanish speaking guests.

Tour Didn't Follow Itinerary & Brought Us to Scam Shop - We were overall very disappointed by this tour. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to a bus where dozens of others were on the tour. Our tour guide spoke mostly in Spanish during the tour and his English was quite difficult to understand.
Nothing followed the itinerary.. Instead of having 2 hours at each stop, we only had one. At Pisac, we were the first to return in 1 hour as instructed by the tour guide but he and the rest of the group didn't come back until an hour and 20 mins later. We were sitting and waiting in the bus all of that time when we could have been exploring more.
We didn't even stop at Iglesia de Urubamba! It was completely skipped from the tour.
The archaeological park in Ollantaytambo was the most enjoyable part of the tour. We actually stayed for the time posted-- 1 hour and the guide gave us a lot of history about the place. It was beautiful.
The last part of the trip in Chinchero would have been the second most enjoyable if it hadn't been for us being scammed there! We were taken to a market where a native demonstrated the ancient techniques of spinning alpaca yarn and all the natural methods of dying the yarn. After the demonstration, we were given time to shop there. We bought an alpaca sweater and some yarn. When we got back from our tour, we tested the yarn by burning the end of a strand. We discovered that it was fake--synthetic yarn!! Instead of smearing, the burnt strand stayed hard. We were completely scammed and ripped off. I'm so disappointed that this tour company took us to scammers. Please don't spend your money on this tour! It really ruined the whole experience for us. Only buy alpaca products from official Alpaca wool stores like Sol Alpaca and Kuna. Lesson learned.

Sacred Valley tour - This was below our expectations since we did not visit all sites as outlined in the tour. Also, the guide was not friendly or helpful.
