Our tour guide Grista was amazing! - Grista is the most outstanding and dedicated guide we encountered during our trip to Peru!
She diligently seized every opportunity to introduce us to the customs, history, and culture of Peru and Cusco. Her deep love, pride, and comprehensive understanding of the land she calls home left us with a profound impression. Her extensive knowledge and enthusiastic passion were truly remarkable.
Grista thoughtfully and expertly tailored a comfortable day tour for us. Her efforts made it the most perfect and enjoyable day of our entire trip to Peru! We are immensely grateful and hope to meet the lovely guide Grista again on our next visit to Peru. We wish her health and happiness!

Ausangate glaciers, herds of roaming alpaca, red valley and yes a colorful mountain too - Rainbow mountain, red valley, herds of roaming alpaca and a stunning view of the top 1,000 meters of Ausangate mountain and its stunning glaciers makes this a fantastic adventure. The breakfast and lunch at 15,000 feet were fantastic in both set up and surroundings. The only thing to know is that it currently involves about 3.5 hours of driving each way and about 45 minutes of that is not for the faint of heart driving along beautiful cliffs. If you know all that and still want to go, you will have a fantastic but very long day

Fantastico! - This tour has it all. You will see all the sites in the Sacred Valley for a great price! Vidal was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide - we learned so much Peruvian culture in addition to the sites. He knew all the great photo ops and even sent me some of the great photos he took a few days after our tour. Highly recommend!

Private sacred valley tour - Our tour guide Ebert was amazing, he made the experience very memorable for us! We learned a lot about Inca history and appreciated his wealth of knowledge. There is a bit of walking at the various locations, recommend bringing water and a few snacks, although lunch is provided- buffet style and very delicious!
