Fascinating - Willy was an excellent guide. He taught us so much on this half day excursion to Las Salineras de Maras & Moray. My kids were fascinated and really enjoyed the experience.

Good trip - Moray is an amazing place to visit. No doubt the Inkas were uber smart. The Salt mines were quite interesting. You even get a small bag of salt with your entry fee.

Great half day tour to start my Peruvian traveling - I landed in Cusco at 7 am and this was one of the only half day tours that wasn’t in the city. I enjoyed everything about this trip and would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent tour to see some Peru sites - Our tour guide Nora was great! She had a lot of interesting information and was friendly. The tour itself is paced well. It goes to a few different locations like the textile shop, a good view of the potato terraces, the Moray archeological site, and of course the salt terraces / mine. This ended up being one of the most unique places I have every seen. I highly recommend this tour.

Awesome Half Day Option! - This is a great tour to do if you don’t have the time for a full Sacred Valley tour! Our guide, Nora, was so informative and friendly. She was very clear on the schedule and what we would do and see at each stop. Moray and the salt mines at Maras were both so unique and really interesting to learn about! We had an appropriate amount of time at each place and it was a great way to see a few sites.

An Amazing Day - We had a fun-filled day visiting two incredible sights; the Inca agriculture site and the (still operating) salt flats site. There were two additional stops along the way that broke up the drive and contributed to our experience. The guide was fun to be around and had endless interesting facts to share. He took great photos of us at each site. All four of us were so glad we chose this tour. Communication and pickup were very organized and efficient.

Recommend - Felt the Moray was a bit pricey but I loved the salt mines! The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I’d skip the Moray in hindsight and just do the salt mines

Very nice tour if you’re short on time but want to visit Maras and Maray - Very good tour. Would be nice to have more than 15-20min at Maras and Moray. In addition to Maras and Moray, we visited Chinchero village and one store on the way to the salt mines. Maybe if we didn’t have those stops, we could spend more time at Maras and Moray. Also, the store had the same items that the store at Maras itself has and slightly cheaper.

Great experience for learning and sightseeing - We had a great time! Informative tour guide, cool side stops, and good chocolate along the way. We started with Moray and were able to learn about the agricultural habits of the Incas (and those who came before). Additionally, we were able to take a short hike around the site to stretch our legs after a long bus ride. We made a cool side stop to learn a bit about how the Peruvians make their alpaca products. Then on to the salt mines, again to learn about the resourcefulness employed by the people to use their surroundings to produce food product. Great experience, good educational opportunity
