Amazing tour of the sacred Valley - This trip was amazing. Our guide, Oscar, was incredible, one of the best guides we've ever had on a tour anywhere. His knowledge of the history of each of the sites as well as Incan history in general was amazing and made for a really interesting trip. There are a number of different sites in the Sacred Valley, each beautiful and incredible in their own way. Book this one, you will enjoy it!

Sacred Valley Private Tour - We took a private tour of sacred valley with Cesar. We had a great time visiting Chincero, Moray, Maras Salt Mine and Ollantaytambo. We particularly enjoyed the textile demo in Chinchero. Cesar was very patient while we bought some Alpaca goods, very good prices. Cesar passed along a lot of knowledge during our tour. Wood definitely recommend to others. The private tour allowed us to travel at our pace.

Great Way To Travel/Tour Ollantaytambo to Cusco - Miguel was knowledgeable about all aspects of the sites we visited. He and his brother operate their family tour company in a very personal and accommodating manner. At the pickup at our hotel in Ollantaytambo, we provided our flight time in Cusco and the Sacred Valley sites we had already visited. Miguel took us on a perfect itinerary to fill our day and make our flight.

Amazing - Amazing experience! This was the perfect way to learn about the Inca civilization and explore the Sacred Valley! We enjoyed our entire day with Miguel seeing four points of interest with historical meaning to the Inca people. Such an educational experience while being fun and well paced to stop and enjoy the stunning scenery. We even made a late lunch stop at a fantastic Peruvian spot in the mountains where we met llamas and alpacas. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The personal tour was the way to go.

Informative, Flexible, and Interesting - This was one of our favorite tours while in Peru. My husband is very interested in learning the history of each place we visit and Miguel provided an extensive history of each place we visited. When I mentioned that I was interested in alpaca's he adjusted our schedule to have lunch at a local alpaca farm. When I wanted to take some time to shop he showed me where to go and ensured that we purchased from reputable. Miguel was friendly and engaged the entire tour. Would absolutely recommend to a friend visiting the area.

Great Private Sacred Valley Tour- book it! - My husband and I had limited time in Peru and only had a day after our 2-day Machu Picchu hike to explore the area. We decided to do a private tour to tailor our day to what we wanted to see and make sure we made it for our night flight out of Cusco. I chose this tour based on previous reviews and they were not wrong. I was able to contact them through their email and explain what we wanted. They were easy to communicate with and responsive to additional questions. On the day of our tour, Oscar arrived on time to pick us up at our hotel. We got to see all the sites at our own pace. Oscar was quite knowledgeable about the Sacred Valley and tailored the trip to our interests. He even took us to the airport! He mentioned other experiences such as a foodie tour and we are interested in coming back to do that some day. We highly recommend experiencing the Sacred Valley with this company!

Best tour company in Peru gave us the best day in Sacred Valley - Had the best time with Oscar. His professionalism as both a guide as well as a local was unmatched. He helped us book numerous other days while in Sacred Valley and Cusco. During our day in Sacred Valley, he would offer to take our pictures and got some great shots! We saw everything and learned a ton! We truly felt we had someone who cared about our experience and education as opposed to other groups that just do generic days. As someone who has traveled fairly extensively, I can confidently say that Oscar and EIT offer the best customer service from any tour company I've worked with. Oscar and I communicated for days after our tour and I will forever look back fondly on the day in Sacred Valley.
