Additional Information

On a tour of the Sacred Valley, you’ll experience the heart of ancient Inca culture still living and breathing in its marketplaces and colorful indigenous peoples. Imposing Inca fortresses overlook the fertile, terraced valley as they cling from the mountainsides high above. Sleepy Andean towns like Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Urubamba, and Chinchero are built on and around archaeological remains left by the Inca and still maintain prehispanic traditions.

A wonderful day touring the Sacred Valley - We really enjoyed our tour with Carlos and the driver, whose name is escaping me, sorry! They picked us up at the hotel and did a custom designed tour for us in the Sacred Valley, including Ollantaytambo ruins, Maras Salt Flats, and Moray ruins, and an added on bonus to Chinchero to see a demonstration of the weaving. They really went out of their way to give us a wonderful tour. Carlos gave great explanations on the history and background of all the sights. Our only critique is there needs to be more plans for eating, we were starving by 2pm and there was really nowhere to get something except for some snacks at Maras. I would suggest that the company recommends people to get a prepared lunch from their hotel to take with them, that way it won't interrupt the flow of the tour. We understood th that the tour guides didn't provide lunch, but maybe not so much that there would be nowhere convenient to grab a sandwich. Just make sure people know to bring a lunch along. Otherwise everything was great, highly recommend this company.

Beautiful ruins and historic sites - outstanding guide and driver. - Our entire experience with Come See Peru tours was excellent. From the initial contact to the day of the tour and beyond, the communication was outstanding. Our guide (Carlos) and driver (Mario) were professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. Carlos was very accommodating touring the Ollantaytambo ruins as it was a bit of a challenge for my wife, but he was patient and let us go at our own pace and made the tour totally enjoyable. The sites we saw (Ollantaytambo, Maras and Moray) along with the stop for a Chicha demonstration made our day very memorable. We would gladly recommend Come See Peru tours to anyone.

Wonderful Cusco - We took a private tour to Sacred Valley with Come See Peru and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, taking us to all the must-see sites while also providing interesting insights into Incan culture. A truly unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Peru.

Very good tour - Very good private tour. Our guide (Carlos) was very friendly and knowledgeable. This tour is a great way to see the Sacred Valley area in half a day. We even had time in the afternoon to see the ruins in Ollantaytambo ourselves and Carlos gave us tips on where/when to go.

Outstanding Private Tour with Come See Peru - We did a half day tour of the Sacred Valley, Moray, and Maras Salt Mines from Ollantaytambo with Carlos and Mario and they were outstanding and knowledgeable. Booking the tour was easy and they were very responsive to answer all my questions. They were right on time to pick us up from the hotel and their planning was perfect as we missed most of the crowd when we visited Moray and Maras Salt Mines. Carlos is professional, kind, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable. Having both of them who knew all the ins and outs of the area also take care to make sure we enjoyed ourselves made the entire trip memorable.

Wonderful and Productive Private Tour - Wonderful tour by Carlos and superb driving by Mario. We were looking for transportation options from Ollantaytambo to Cusco, so figured why not get a tour out of it. No regrets. Enjoyed seeing Ollantaytambo and Moray ruins, Maras Salt Mines, and Pisac. They were very flexible with the start time. And not to mention, Carlos is an excellent storyteller and an amazing photographer. I highly recommend tours by this operator. Cheers!

Best tour ever! - Best tour ever!! ComeSeePeru brought us around the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu over three days from Urubamba. Carlos, our guide, was excellent, informative and knowledgeable - he took care to plan our schedule so we visited each site at the least crowded times. Mario, our driver, was also very skilled, and the van was very spacious and comfortable. Carlos and Mario went above and beyond to make our Sacred Valley experience a great one. We were sadly down with food poisoning, and Carlos helped with altitude sickness medicine and tea and drove us to the nearest pharmacies to get medicine. When we were tired after having to walk to the Moray ruins due to a road closure, Mario also drove up by a separate route to meet us by the end point, so we wouldn’t have to walk back again. All in all, ComeSeePeru made our honeymoon experience in Peru an amazing one! 100% would recommend for anyone looking for a thoughtful, well planned and insightful tour in the Sacred Valley.

Great experience with a local guide - I highly recommend this agency. We booked a trip with them from Ollantaytambo to Cusco visiting many unique sites of Sacred Valley on our way. Everything was well organised even though we contacted the agency quite late. The agency was very responsive and we kept in touch on WhatsApp all the time. Our guide Carlitos came on time and he was the nicest person ever, very patient with us and ready to take a lot of pictures. We learned a lot about Inca history from him. The whole day was a pleasure. Thank you guys for taking care of us! Thanks to you we fell in love with Peru even more.

Highly Recommend Come See Peru Tours - I have used ComeSee Peru Tours multiple times and I am continuously impressed and happy with their service, knowledge of the country, culture, food, etc., and their passion. They love to share their country with tourists and they do an incredible job of it. It's a truly unique experience and they take the time to make it feel local and personal not just "any other tour" I love the Sacred Valley Tour! I hadn't spent much time there and it was beautiful! Next tour - Humantay Lake!
