Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco to Ollantaytambo - I had a wonderful time on the Sacred Valley Tour exploring multiple sites from Cusco to Ollantaytambo! Carlos and Mario took great care of us and enriched our travel experience as we navigated the beautiful landscapes of Peru. Highly recommend booking this tour and tour guides.

Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco to Ollantaytambo - Come See Peru Tours is responsive and answered all our questions prior to booking. We asked if the half day Sacred Valley Tour to/from Cusco could end in Ollantaytambo instead. Julio Cesar responded quickly and accommodated our schedule.
Our guide Carlos and driver Mario were great as well. Carlos is an excellent guide, his enthusiasm and knowledge of the sites added to experience. I asked many questions and Carlos was able to answer them all kindly.
Very good experience, would book another tour with them.

Exceptional experience & services - The best tour we had in this trip. I contact this travel agent at 10pm for the tour. Received the text message from Carlo via WhatsApp immediately. I called him at 11:30 to confirm the tour that we are going to have next day. He was very kind and friendly. Original, the itinerary starts from 8:30. I am an early person and like to start early. He said, no problem and we started at 7:30. They were very on time next morning. Carlo is very knowledgeable and very patient. Throughout the tour, he told us lots of history about the sites we visited. Even told us more information about Machu Picchu which we visited the day before. I wish we had him throughout our whole trip. He also told us about his family history as well. Best service, best tour that we had. Strongly recommend this company! Glad we booked with this company and very happy that we had Carlo!

The best experiences in Peru - We had an amazing time in Cusco! Come See Peru allowed us to have the most memorial experiences while in Cusco. With our tour guide Carlos, we went to see Machu Picchu (which was mind blowing), we hiked up the picturesque rainbow mountain, sacred valley, and humantay lake!! These tours exceeded all of our expectations. I was speechless by the sites. Come see Peru also gave us advice on restaurants while we stayed in Cusco, and we also took a tour of the city of Cusco as well. They picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. I took this trip with my friend and we both felt so comfortable and learned so much about Peruvian people, the history and culture. I recommend Come See Peru to anyone looking to have the best time of their lives.
