Everything was above and beyond expectations. Alfredo and Arnold at P.A.D were awesome. Everything was on time, pick ups and drops were as expected. All guides were super knowledgeable and so nice! Extra tours were added and the trip was customized. We felt safe, and excited the entire time. Restaurant recommendations were also spot on. Simply the best!
Out Sacred Valley tour from Cusco was unforgettable, thanks to Alfredo’s exceptional guidance and organization. Friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, he brought the region’s history and culture to life as we explored the Maras Salt Mines, Ollantaytambo, and other stunning sites. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, with fascinating insights, delicious food, and plenty of time to enjoy each stop. Alfredo’s clean, comfortable vehicle and attentive service kept us relaxed throughout the day. We highly recommend this wonderful experience to anyone visiting Cusco.
Our Sacred Valley day tour from Cusco exceeded every expectation. Our guide, Alfredo, was respectful, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the entire day both fun and meaningful. We visited the breathtaking Maras Salt Mines, Ollantaytambo, and other incredible sites, but what made this tour special was learning about Inca history, customs, and meeting local people along the way. The vehicle was spotless and comfortable, the food was excellent, and every stop felt thoughtfully planned. If you’re visiting Cusco, don’t miss this tour, we couldn’t recommend it more highly!
It was a great tour, strongly recommend it. Follow the advice of the tour guide, she saved us travel time & was able to show us everything we wanted to see. If you stick to the itinerary, you may be stuck in traffic, and tour may take longer than expected. Super knowledgeable & helpful!
This was a really great experience! Alfredo was top notch, and knowledgeable on making this the best tour, ever. Loved it. Muchas gracias, nuestro nuevo amigo,
Alfredo was the absolute best! Above and beyond in every aspect. Thank you, Alfredo and Everett, you made the day perfect.
Visiting the Sacred Valley is a must do of a Peru trip, and a private tour is the best way to do it. We had a great guide who took us to places we would never have found by ourselves. Private tours are of course more expensive, but it does really add something to be able to go wherever without adjusting for someone else’s schedule. It is a full day experience, which is enough for half a dozen stops. Recommended!
Great experience with Alfredo covering the sacred valley across ollayantambo, sun temple, guinea pig temple, the town of ollantaytambo and its streets, the morey and the salt mines. He’s very knowledgeable and we learned a lot of about the inka civilization. He also organized a very nice lunch buffet at a beautiful venue which was a very pleasant experience, also giving us the opportunities to pet some alpacas! He was also great with taking our pictures in all the spots! This was a great introductory tour for us as we kick off our Cusco and machu pichu trip
Originally booked a private tour of Sacred Valley for 4 people (2 couples). They reached out to us and offered free airport transfer which we gladly accepted. They also mentioned they do private tours of Rainbow Mountainand offered a discount. I accepted that too as it was cheaper than another non-private tours I had booked. We had Angela as a guide and she was great! Very informative and taught us so much. Would highly recommend this tour company.
We had a private tour that picked us up at our hotel. They arrived on time and were very friendly. Visited all the locations as expected and had an amazing time. Angela was our guide and she was great! Very knowledgeable with great explanations of both the history and science regarding the sites we visited. Would highly recommend.
Alfredo was brilliant. Very attentive and knowledgeable. It was an early start but well worth it. Stunning views and a fantastic stop for lunch! I highly recommend for anyone staying in Cusco. We even managed an extra stop at Chinchero to learn about local weaving and clothes making plus llamas!
This has to be the best way to see all of the wonders on the sacred valley in a single day. Alfredo was a great guide, sharing his vast knowledge and making it a really enjoyable day out. Would highly recommend.
Amazing day! Our tour guide and driver were #1. Our guide spent the perfect amount of time at each stop in the tour…never bored with waiting.
Tour today was 1st class! Our guide Alfredo Fisher and driver Jaime were a great team. The weather was perfect and our the team from PAD gave us the maximum experience. Highly recommend.
Our full-day Sacred Valley of the Incas Private Tour with Peru Andes Discovery was nothing short of magnificent and truly a day we will remember forever. From start to finish, everything was handled with care, professionalism, and genuine warmth. Our guide Alfredo was exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, thoughtful, funny, patient, and deeply passionate about Peruvian history and culture. He brought every site to life with stories, context, and insights that made the Sacred Valley feel even more magical. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and that enthusiasm made the entire experience unforgettable. Our driver Sandor was equally wonderful. He was kind, attentive, and incredibly professional, always ensuring we were comfortable and safe. He even opened the door for me every time we stopped — a small gesture that speaks volumes about the level of care and service this company provides. Even before the tour day, Peru Andes Discovery went above and beyond by sending detailed, helpful information so we were fully prepared for all weather conditions and altitude. During the tour, they thoughtfully provided water, Gatorade, chocolate, cookies, and coca candies — such a comforting and generous touch. As I was still acclimatizing, I experienced some altitude sickness, and Alfredo and Sandor were unbelievably kind, patient, and attentive. They never rushed me, checked in often, and made sure I felt supported the entire time. Their compassion and understanding made all the difference and allowed me to truly enjoy the experience. One of the things that made the trip so special was Alfredo’s photography skills. He grabbed my phone often and offered to take photos so we didn’t just have a roll full of selfies. Not just that, but he used pano and wide angle and narrated videos for us, too! So incredibly grateful for these memories. This company operates with heart. Every detail felt intentional, personal, and rooted in genuine care for their guests. If you are considering a Sacred Valley tour, I would recommend Peru Andes Discovery a million times over. Truly amazing people, exceptional service, and an unforgettable experience.
Alfredo and Samuel were great! Alfredo is kind and accommodating and made us feel welcome. November was a great time to go even though it would rain here and there. We were able to see amazing sights in the sunny weather !!We enjoyed our conversations with him and will book again with him when we come back to Peru! Thank you so much Samuel and Alfredo!!
Recommend trip for everyone in Cusco. It has a lot of interesting spots to visit. It is a wonderful trip with my guide Alfredo and driver Jaime.
We had an amazing time on our full day trip through the Sacred Valley with our guide Christian. We visited a variety of places including Moray and Maras, Ollantaytambo and a wonderful lunch in Urubamba. Christian had a wonderful personality, offered insightful background information on each location and took great pictures for us. We would highly recommend this tour.
If I could give them 500 stars out of 5, I would! Alfredo and the entire team are absolutely amazing!! They went above and beyond expectations every step of the way for all our tours. We used Peru Andes Discovery for Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain and also Lake Titicaca. I would highly recommend them above all other companies!! They communicated well, surpassed expectations with all the additional little touches and details that we never expected - worth every penny! We have amazing new friends and memories to last a lifetime - thank you Alfredo, Max, KJ and the rest of the Peru Andes Discovery team!! They are a true gem and will go the extra mile for you! I would without any hesitation recommend them!
Alfredo was an amazing and personable guide! We saved the first stop for last because he knew how to beat the crowds which made the experience even better! The driver was great and provided us with a smooth and efficient travel to each site. Just make sure you bring cash (sol) for the archaeological sites because they are not included in the original price. Would recommend the trip to anyone!
Alfredo was recommended by our hotel. We’re so glad to have met him & booked with him. He is very professional and very accommodating to our small group of 4. His rate is very affordable and will modify to our own private tour to include previous engagements. Our tour guide Angela is very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. As a travel agent myself Alfredo goes above & beyond exemplifying exceptional service. We would definitely book & recommend them again in the near future.
We had a day available so wanted to make a day exploring more of the Sacred Valley. When we asked our hotel desk which travel agency we should contact we were referred to Alfredo Fisher. He put together for us & accommodated pick up at 1 city & drop off in hotel of different city a small group and local guide to visit Chinchero, Maras, Moray, Pisac, and Ollantaytambo. Angela our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and was well prepared for our tour. She did a great job of explaining and teaching the history, indigenous culture, geology, and significance of the Sacred Valley while also allowing us time to explore. We enjoyed that day tour so much that when 2 ladies we met from Lima City Tour asked us if we had heard of Rainbow Mountain, we asked Alfredo if he could put together a special tour to accommodate our booked afternoon Cusco City Tour. Those ladies were willing to join us at 4am! We requested Angela again who gave us another amazing day complete with doing a small ritual to ask for a wonderful day on the mountain. We got back right on time for our Cusco day tour & when that tour guide spoke about the history we already had heard it better & more in depth. We didn’t just visit, we had an experience in Sacred Valley.
We had a wonderful day with the Peru Andes Discovery team. Both my 12-year-old daughter and I were delighted with the Sacred Valley Tour. It was truly an amazing experience. We especially loved the opportunity to visit Machu Picchu after our tour of the Valley. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for all the effort you put into providing us with this magical tour, especially after a long time without vacations.
The agency is super professional. Highly recommended. It was just my partner and me, they were super punctual. Eduardo (Edward) picked us up as our guide and Hebert as our driver. My advice is to request that they be the ones to pick you up. Eduardo is a GREAT professional, he explains everything very well, is super attentive, makes the tour very enjoyable, he is not the typical annoying or boring guide, he is perfect. The driver Hebert is also a great professional. I insist on the excellent treatment from both of them. You can pay them comfortably at the end of the tour.
It was a great experience. The tour is beautiful, the places show all the Inca culture and ingenuity with beautiful landscapes. Alfredo was our guide and was very very good, very friendly, friendly and knowledgeable to answer all our questions, besides telling the history of the places visited. Jaime was also a great driver.
Alfredo was our Tour Guide and was better than we could have asked for. My grandmother is from Peru and we went to visit her home country. Alfredo took great care of her and my family. He was very considerate and made sure to highlight the things my family wanted to do. I knew a lot about the history of Peru and we learned a lot from it. I wouldn't have gone with any other Guide. If you are thinking of booking this trip, I highly recommend Alfredo.
