Sacred Valley - As we had little time we ordered a private tour to the Sacred Valley. Guide John was tireless in sharing all the knowledge he has.

The private tour option is totally worth it. Incredible flexibility, attention and guidance during the trip. - The private tour is an excellent option at a reasonable price. The pick-up time could be easily coordinated to accommodate the hotel's breakfast schedule. Guide John arrived absolutely on time and from the start had an incredible willingness to make the tour a bearable time. The Americo driver also did a great job. The weather was impeccable to get to our train from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu Pueblo. The buffet lunch at The 14 Inkas was wonderful. Visits to the looms, the Chinchero esplanade, the Moray terraces, the salt flats of Maras and the sacred valley of Ollantaytambo were at a comfortable pace and on a schedule in which each site had a more comfortable capacity to take photos. Absolutely recommended.

A great day tour from Cusco to Ollantaytambo - Our guide Julio is great. He is very knowledgeable. His presentation at each site is very helpful for us to understand the Inka history and culture. We really enjoyed the day and we would highly recommend his service.

Amazing day with amazing guide and perfect for day before machu piccu - Rehider was a super host and made the whole day amazing!! not only was he so well catered to everyone through languages and answering questions, but he also was a super picture and video taker!! I mean he was directing me and took those Instagram style reel videos with amazing angles and flows into the main sites, he knew the best spots!!! very knowledgeable and learned so much on the day, fantastic sites and well worth the money. another great thing is they leave you in Ollantaytambo instead of Cusco centre so was perfect to get the train into maccu pichu to stay the say before your visit! thanks again.

Beyond a usual tour - Punctual, knowledgeable and friendly. Julio a great local tour guide, coming from the mountains, proficient in Quechua, an Inka language together with his inherent knowledge of traditions and local customs, takes the tour guidance to the next level. We were so pleased with his tour that took another private tour to the Rainbow Mountain the next day. Highly recommend.
