Great experience! - The tour was awesome! Even though the travel time was a bit long, we got to see a lot of amazing places. The tour guide was super friendly and really knew the history of all the sites. The lunch buffet was great too. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco for the first time with limited time to explore.

Excellent tour guide Jesus Amazing Sacred Valley tour - I was very impressed with the tour guide Jesus. It was refreshing to see how he is proud of his country and its culture and shared all of the amazing information every step of the way. Jesus really made the tour entertaining and took care of every one of us. I highly recommend requesting Jesus as your tour guide. Very respectful and professional. The Sacred Valley tour was great.

Excellent Tour guide - Our tour guide Jesus was excellent. He took time in explaining to us and bringing us to the Sacred valley(s) for us to understand its importance to the country. He’s a very knowlegeable guy, we can tell he is on this job for a longest time.Highly recommended

Great tours from Cusco with guide Andy - We had the opportunity to do two amazing tours in Cusco: Sacred Valley with connection to Aguas Calientes and Maras & Moray.
In the Sacred Valley we visited a goldsmiths workshop in Pisac, we toured impressive landscapes and thanks to excellent coordination we arrived without problems to take the train to Aguas Calientes. In Maras and Moray we learned about textile art in a knitting workshop, we got to know the amazing archaeological site of Moray and we were marveled by the striking salt flats of Maras.
What made both experiences unforgettable was our guide Andy. Always punctual, attentive and fun, he made every visit interesting and enjoyable. On the Maras and Moray tour there were tourists who spoke Spanish and other English, and Andy was always concerned to explain in both languages, making sure that everyone enjoyed themselves equally. Besides, next to the driver, they were always on the lookout for the times and every detail so that everything went perfectly.
Thanks to their dedication, knowledge and charisma, the tours exceeded all our expectations. If you are lucky enough to do it with Andy, the experience will be second to none!

Surreal Peruvian Cultural Experience - The whole tour is extremely organized. They are responsive and will do their very best to accommodate you in your needs. Food was delicious, but the best part of this tour was the guide, we had Jesús and he was friendly, and educated on the Sacred Valley

I recommend, but not if you depend on a tour in Portuguese. - The tour is a bit busy, but it is understandable due to the number of places visited. The guide Paul was very good, explained in Spanish and in English to the few tourists who did not understand Spanish, and Spanish was understandable for us who are Brazilians. The negative point is that I bought the tour in Portuguese and was informed the night before that the tour would not be in Portuguese. If it were another guide it might have been a very bad experience. If you depend solely on the Portuguese language, I do not recommend this tour, because they can change in the day.
The guide hastened the tour in a few moments so that everyone could arrive at their destinations on time, but nothing exaggerated.
Overall it is a great tour for people who do not want to explore every place in depth. And the lunch was very good, we arrived with the restaurant empty.

Guide Emil was well... - Guide Emil was well organised and knowledgeable of the sites we visited. It is a long day but you do visit all the sites. I would forgo the activities in Chinchero and Pisaq.

Won’t recommend. At all - It was constantly rushed, as in no time to stop to pick up a beverage, or even go to the bathroom without the guide seemingly being irritated. If you are a budget traveler, this is a good way to see a lot, in one day. If you are a more mature traveler, (I will be 55 this week) I doubt you will enjoy. For me, I regret a larger group trip and in retrospect wish l was in a solo guide trip as I had been the prior two days. In all honesty today was simply miserable. The adding on of taking is to pre selected vendors in between the ruins (textiles, chocolate, silver) where they pressure you to buy, was insulting- and just added to a 13 hour day of exhaustion.
Additionally, our group was 12- 5 of us were English speakers, the rest Spanish. The VAST majority of the time the guide solely
spoke, at length, in Spanish. His English was quite poor.
