Great tour - Gary was our guide, we had a wonderful day, he took our photos and knows the best spots for it. His knowledge of local history is very rich and we learned a lot from him. Definitely this tour is 5 stars.

Enjoyable and well-paced tour - Gary did a great job of personalizing and adding to our experience at each site, from demonstrating how different colors were made in traditional weavings to solving math sums on an Incan calculator. Fun, relaxing experience and learned a lot!

Awesome tour of the Sacred Valley and more - We had a wonderful tour that turned out to be private! Alexis did an awesome job taking us to all the sites including the textile demonstration. He knew just where to stand to get the best views and even recommended a great family restaurant to have lunch when we returned to Cusco. Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing Experience - Alexis was an amazing guide who is very knowledgeable about Incan history and knew all the best spots to view Moray and Maras. He arrived 5 minutes early and the tour lasted the length advertised. He showed me the clothing market as well as the chocolate and salt shop , but made clear immediately that there was no pressure to buy anything. I ended up getting some souvenirs, but there was never any uncomfortable pressure to do so. The driver also did a great job. Highly recommended!

My favorite! - Had an amazing day and my favorite day trip from Cusco. Moray is stunning and “visceral” if that makes sense? You really feel the amount of work that went into this place. Don’t miss it!

Great Tour! - Fun day trip to Maras/Moray! We enjoyed the beautiful sights with our tour guides! My parents weren’t feeling well, but they were very accommodating and offered to pick them up to go hang out with the llamas at the end of the tour. Enjoyed!

Exquisite Exploration of Maras, Moray, and Salt Flats - Our day trip to Maras, Moray, and the Salt Flats was a fantastic venture that gave us a profound insight into the beautiful landscapes and rich culture of the Cusco region. The communication with the tour company was impeccable, ensuring a prompt pickup from our hotel. Our group was intimate, just us and our guide, providing a very personal experience.
We began our tour at the archaeological park in Chinchero, followed by a visit to the local community known for their alpaca wool textiles. Witnessing the craftsmanship of the local artisans was a unique and enlightening experience. We then moved on to the breathtaking archaeological sites of Maras and Moray. Each location offered spectacular views, and the scenic drives between sites were equally captivating.
Our guide was enthusiastic, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable, enriching our understanding of each site we visited. He also proved to be an excellent photographer, capturing numerous beautiful photos throughout the day. Tasting local specialties at the markets we passed added an authentic flavor to our experience.
Many Sacred Valley tours include Chinchero, Maras, and Moray, but given the vast array of attractions the area has to offer, I recommend booking this tour in addition to a standard Sacred Valley tour. This allows for more dedicated time at each site, avoiding a rushed experience and enabling a deeper engagement with the locations rather than brief stops for photos. This tour was a perfect complement to our broader exploration of the Sacred Valley, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in each site’s unique aspects. Highly recommended for those looking to explore beyond the typical tourist path and gain a deeper understanding of the region's heritage.

UNMISSABLE! - The places visited are beautiful and the explanations of our Fabrizio Guide were very complete, telling details that I did not know and always worried that we would get the best experience.

Good half day experience of sacred valley locations - Small group, was a good use of time to be able to see Moray salt flats and Maras. Depends on your tour guide how much of Maras you get to see, we had wanted to go down to see closer and were told we were not on the circuit which was disappointing. Overall had good information, very driver dependent on aggressive driving. Overall positive experience
