Great tour with Jorge - Enjoyed all the highlights from Pisac, Maras, Moray and Ollantaytambo. Jorge was a great guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about t
Inka and Quechuan culture. While this is advertised for people with limited time, we didn’t feel rushed and were really able to take in all the sights. Thanks Jorge for a great day!

Leo is the best guide! - We are so glad to have booked our tours with Leo as our tour guide for two days. Leo, thank you for the detailed explanation of the Inca empire. We learned so much from you and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Any tour group who get you as their guide are very lucky! Thank you for the amazing photos. We will treasure them dearly.

Best tour of the trip! - We had Richard and Ronny as our driver and tour guide. They were very friendly and knowledgeable about everything we saw. I highly recommend them and the fact that we were able to speak English and Spanish made the trip that much better. We were so glad we did this tour so we could really see the countryside. Cusco and Machu Picchu are great but this made our trip!

Flexible schedule and wonderful guide - Our tour guide Richard is very kind and knowledgeable. As there were only my girlfriend and I during the whole tour, we were able to have a flexible schedule and were never in a rush. We visited Pisco, Maras, Moray and Ollantaytambo. Richard not only offered great introduction at each every sites, we also had nice conversations all the way in the van.

Best Way to Spend A Day In Peru! - SUMMARY:
If a full day immersive cultural adventure through the Sacred Valley, accompanied by a knowledgeable, local, private tour guide is what you’re looking for, Cusco Holiday Peru is THE BEST option. Full stop. Having a true local as the guide makes for a uniquely connected experience, one I am certain you will not find with any of the other agency. For the price, and level of effort they put into ensuring your full enjoyment throughout the day, Cusco Holiday Peru won’t disappoint.
FULL REVIEW:
Booking: We were one of the late ones and booked our trip the night before our adventure (we’d recommend booking at least two weeks ahead to be safe). Yet, within 45 minutes of booking, Cusco Holiday Peru reached out to us via email to ask which hotel we were staying at, and the time we’d like to be picked. After agreeing to a 7:00am pickup, the following day at 6:57am our tour guide, Richard, was standing in front of our hotel waiting for us. We could write an entire review on how wonderful Richard was but for the sake of time, we’ll say Richard far exceeded our expectations. Travel accommodations were comfortable, a seven person, newer Hyundai minivan with plenty of room for day bags. The van was captained by Ronney, a second CHP guide, which left Richard free to talk to us for most of the 11 hour travel day (door to door). We paid low $300’s for my fiancé and I, which was more than fair given the duration, distance of travel, and breadth of information shared about each location.
Tour: As mentioned, the full day lasted 11 hours door to door (much of that is driving between the six locations throughout the valley). The tour we chose ran through much of the Sacred Valley (Valley Sagrada) stopping short of including Machu Picchu. Our trip started in Cusco and went to Pisac, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, Salineras de Maras, Moray, and lastly Chinchero before heading home. Each was beautiful in its own way and was a great example of past and present Peruvian culture. The tour consisted of cultural ruins, historical landmarks, local shopping, and a few stops to taste local foods. Rather than dictate our entire trip, look into each of these locations online and see for yourself the beautiful in taking a tour through all of these important historical sites.
We walked away from this day trip with a new sense of Peruvian culture, great food, unique memories, and plenty of goods (blankets, sweaters, and salt from the mines). If you are looking for a way to see much of the Sacred Valley in a single day, through the eyes of the locals, this tour is it.

So amazing! - This tour was fantastic! We saw four wonderful archaeological sites that were really inspiring in addition to several local stops; one where we learned about alpaca products from animal to finished product. The day was literally packed with adventures. Richard, our tour guide, couldn't have been more knowledgeable, helpful or easy going. I'd highly recommend this tour and Richard as your guide!

DO NOT BOOK THIS IS AA SCAM!! - We book this three weeks prior to the actual day and never received a email asking for our passport number, hotel address and etc like the other full day and half day tours did (that was the first red flag but I was so busy at work that it slipped my mind). The day of the tour came and no one showed up, so we called many times and it went straight to voicemail, so after a few hours I wanted a answer so we went to their office that was listed on google. And guess what there was no tour office there just a clothing store. It was a waste of a day and money ( which I’m currently trying to get back with the help of viator). Please book elsewhere!!! Not sure if the 5 stars are real or not but don’t trust them!!!

Guide did not turn up or contact us - We booked this tour for today. We have paid in full. The guide did not contact us at all, when no one arrived to collect us we tried the phone number and got no answer. We tried visiting the office but it does not exist at the address given.
Very disappointed with the situation.
