Great day to make us discover something other than ruins! - Great Guide. Good driver. They were very nice. Beautiful cultural tour to discover how wool here is treated and colored. Bonus dance show. We had time to visit the sites and all our questions were answered.

Fascinating - Willy was an excellent guide. He taught us so much on this half day excursion to Las Salineras de Maras & Moray. My kids were fascinated and really enjoyed the experience.

Good trip - Moray is an amazing place to visit. No doubt the Inkas were uber smart. The Salt mines were quite interesting. You even get a small bag of salt with your entry fee.

Great half day tour to start my Peruvian traveling - I landed in Cusco at 7 am and this was one of the only half day tours that wasn’t in the city. I enjoyed everything about this trip and would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent tour to see some Peru sites - Our tour guide Nora was great! She had a lot of interesting information and was friendly. The tour itself is paced well. It goes to a few different locations like the textile shop, a good view of the potato terraces, the Moray archeological site, and of course the salt terraces / mine. This ended up being one of the most unique places I have every seen. I highly recommend this tour.

Recommend - Felt the Moray was a bit pricey but I loved the salt mines! The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I’d skip the Moray in hindsight and just do the salt mines

Very nice tour if you’re short on time but want to visit Maras and Maray - Very good tour. Would be nice to have more than 15-20min at Maras and Moray. In addition to Maras and Moray, we visited Chinchero village and one store on the way to the salt mines. Maybe if we didn’t have those stops, we could spend more time at Maras and Moray. Also, the store had the same items that the store at Maras itself has and slightly cheaper.

Great experience for learning and sightseeing - We had a great time! Informative tour guide, cool side stops, and good chocolate along the way. We started with Moray and were able to learn about the agricultural habits of the Incas (and those who came before). Additionally, we were able to take a short hike around the site to stretch our legs after a long bus ride. We made a cool side stop to learn a bit about how the Peruvians make their alpaca products. Then on to the salt mines, again to learn about the resourcefulness employed by the people to use their surroundings to produce food product. Great experience, good educational opportunity

Stop on Tour Not in Description - The below review I originally submitted a few days prior - I gave them a 3 star review. I am updating this to say that Kantu Peru Tours sent me a message today offering to refund my money if I give them a better review. So I am now giving them only 2 stars for trying to buy a better review from me. Original review: This trip description does not say anywhere that the first stop is Chicheros. You get like a 5-10 minute weaving lecture, then they want you to buy stuff from their store. This was not something I was interested in, and would have rather had that extra time in Moray. We got maybe 10 minutes of free time there after the tour, and that Chincheros stop time could have been better used giving us actual time to explore Moray on our own. The time we had on our own was literally just enough time to walk to the bathroom and back to the bus.
