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.

Brilliant tour. Our tour... - Brilliant tour. Our tour guides Gary and Louise were great, sharing lots of information and knowledge with us. Gary really went above and beyond our expectations, being an Inca descendent he had lots of inside culture to share. Would 100% recommend this tour.

Great Half Day Tour - This was the perfect length tour for us. We only had half a day and wanted to visit Sacred Valley, but didn’t have time to do a full tour. We booked relatively last minute but our guide Fredi was ready and waiting for us first thing in the morning. We had perfect timing with all of our stops, our guide got us good picture spots without lots of crowds. Chinchero, Moray, and the Salt Mines were all beautiful and our guide explained the significance and history of the places. We stopped at a textile mill and the demonstration was interesting, though the women there were..persistent. I had read about them in other reviews, so I was prepared and expecting that. Everything else during the day was great! Our driver got us everywhere safely and timely. I would recommend if you only have a limited amount of and are wanting to visit some of Sacred Valley!

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
