This Sacred Valley tour is special because of the way it is designed and operated. Unlike many standard tours, we follow a carefully planned route that allows you to visit the main sites in a smooth and enjoyable way, without rushing from place to place.
We work with small groups of no more than 8 travelers, which creates a more personal experience and allows our local Cusco guide to spend more time explaining, answering questions, and adapting the pace to the group. This also means more time to enjoy places like Ollantaytambo and to connect with local culture along the way.
Our focus is on quality, comfort, and authentic experiences, avoiding forced shopping stops and crowded schedules, so you can truly enjoy the Sacred Valley at a relaxed pace.
