Sacred Valley Tour From Cusco: Pisac, Ollantaytambo & Inca Ruins

Highly recommend. They thought of everything and answer fast

My two friends and I took the Sacred Valley tour from Ollantaytambo to Cusco, and it was incredible! Our guide, Jose, was outstanding punctual and knowledgeable. He met us at our hotel right on time, and we jumped straight into the adventure. Jose was with us every step of the way, sharing so much fascinating information that we wanted to keep learning even after the tour ended. I especially loved how everything was customized to fit exactly what we wanted to see and do. Highly recommend this tour 10/10!

We just finished a 4-day Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu Tour with Encuentros Peru Adventure, and it was perfect. Our guide, Stevin, was with us the whole time and gave us a clear idea of what to expect. The people of Peru are incredibly friendly, the scenery is breathtaking, and we learned so much about the culture. Stevin truly made this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

A must do trip in Peru and we were truly amazed the way Encuentros Peru Adventure, especially our guide, Jose Luis conducted the tour. He was very passionate in sharing his knowledge on local civilization and made sure that every individual in group were comfortable and felt the Ändean Vibes¨as he called it as. This is vcertainly a perfect day trip from Cusco city.

Just got back from the Sacred Valley of the Incas and Maras Moray tour with Encuentros Peru Adventure, guided by Jose Luis. The trip was flawless and the company was very professional. Jose knew a lot about the local traditions and customs and was fluent in English as well. He was more of a friend than a guide which we really appreciated. The whole experience was incredible and the highlight of the trrip was the lunch stop at a local restaurant in Urubamba town. We savoured some traditional Andean farm fresh food. A dream come true.

Encuentros Peru Adventure provided an exceptional Sacred Valley Tour. Our guide was informative, enthusiastic and passionate about sharing the beauty and history of the region. The tour was efficiently organised and all arrangements were handled seamlessly. Every stop had its unique charm and offered breathtaking views. The journey with Encuentros Peru Adventure was an insightful, unforgettable experience. A must do when in Peru!

The Sacred Valley of the Incas day trip with Encuentros Peru Adventure was a highlight of my trip. Their organization and experise made the day seamless, while their in-depth knowledge added depth the stunning vistas and historic sites we visited. A must-do tour that was both informative and inspiring. Kudos to Encuentros Peru Adventure and guide Jose Luis for a spectacular adventure.

Second to none, the sites in Sacred Valley are truly magical with so many history. Jose Luis, our tour guide was very passionate on sharing them with us. Due to the protests, it was just the two of us and the guide so it was quite a personalised trip. We had so much immersive tour of the sites. To compliment the trip, they served us buffet lunch in Urubamba which was a nice was to get a local touch. Sadly it started raining while we were in Pisac but we did have a nice time.

This is a great tour, but a long day so be prepared for that. What made this tour great was our guide. German was really great at providing commentary not only at the stops but also while we were driving along. He was accommodating, kind and made everything interesting! Something to note that for me was misleading and might be misleading to others as well… in the description of the itinerary on trip advisor it says 2hrs at some of the stops. In reality is including the driving time between sites and the time at the site itself. This was disappointing to me because I was very excited to have 2 hours in each place and that was not the case! (After taking the tour I understand this wouldn’t be possible or we would be back at like 10pm). Thankfully the drive between places is really beautiful too and also I was pleasantly surprised with the buffet lunch that was included… it had a ton of options, including plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans. I’d recommend this tour company for sure, they are very organized and accommodating (we missed our pickup time and they went out of their way to make sure we were able to join the group to take the tour). Great service!

A perfect day tour to get an insight into Inca civilization and Andean history. Jose Luis is an exceptional tour guide and his knowledge and passion to explain things was just impressive.

We had a very special experience with Encuentros and Jose as our guide. We were never rushed and exery thing about the tour was explained extremely well. The transport from our hotel in Cusco to the sites and back was very comfortable and the pickup was punctual too. This is a very good trip where we were familiarised to different parts of the valley and their prominence during the Inca rule. Totally worth it.

Must-visit sites to understand Inca civilization. Guide Regi was knowledgeable and cultured. Four restaurants at different locations reserved for 15 people. Decent cuisine. However, there was complete disorganization of the itinerary by the agency in managing the pickup and drop-off times for the client, which were specified in the reservation contract signed three months earlier. The pickup at the hotel, which was supposed to start at 8 AM, was changed the day before, with times moved to 7 AM and then 7:20 AM, knowing that at 7:40 AM the agency was asking us where we were while we were waiting in the hotel lobby for their taxi! which took us elsewhere in Cusco to pick up other clients. We finally started after 8:30 AM and arrived in Pisac inevitably late, only having 30 minutes to climb and freely visit this perched site. 45 minutes to even an hour would have been more realistic! We were then split into four different restaurants, which generated a lot of traffic and wasted time on a program already packed with various visits. What a surprise it was to receive an untimely message from the agency during the meal, demanding that we respect the schedule (sic!), be punctual (!), and not disrupt the normal flow of the excursion at the risk of causing some to miss a train scheduled for Machu Picchu. We, of course, responded that the agency should not shift its own responsibilities, particularly regarding improvisation in the organization, onto the client. At 5:30 PM, as night was about to fall, we were going to visit an archaeological site in Chinchero; the ticket was no longer useful since there were no tourists left. Finally, after 6 PM, still in Chinchero, we were dropped off at a weaving workshop to have the techniques explained and possibly buy souvenirs. We resumed our journey, and at nearly 8 PM, while the drop-off was scheduled at the hotel, we were dropped off more than a kilometer away from the hotel, left to figure out how to get back. The guide immediately found a taxi for us as well as for herself. Traveling regularly, we had never encountered such a situation, such incompetence from a tour operator in managing an excursion, let alone the audacity to demand in a peremptory manner that the client respect the group's constraints. In conclusion, we are taking a 3-week road trip through Peru, and more than halfway through the journey, we can affirm that there are many professional agencies experienced in such tours that have moved beyond improvisation and bad faith to justify themselves.

We spent a beautiful day exploring some less traveled places in the Sacred Valley. We organized everything the night before, the agency was super helpful and flexible to meet our needs. We visited the Perolniyoc waterfall and Naupa Iglesias, our guide was very knowledgeable and passed on the passion for Inca culture. Highly recommended!

They picked us up at Ollantaytambo Station at the time of the train arrival from Machu Picchu according to our itinerary. We communicated in simple English during the tour. They carefully explained the history and background of the ruins, and answered our questions accurately. They also flexibly responded to our needs with the tour schedule, and stopped at places where we could buy the same items cheaper than in Cusco or Machu Picchu. I recommend it.

I'm happy! I got the tour on very short notice but they were always helpful to help and guide me in the best. My guide was Edy and he was always attentive, as I went alone he helped me to take the pictures, he took care of us so we wouldn’t get lost and he explained the whole story. 100% recommended, I will do more tour with them. Thanks for everything Peru Adventure!!!

Let’s start with the organization of Encounters Peru Adventure was perfect!!! Jose's guidance was impressive!! always professional.. the responsible driver always take care of everyone's safety!!! Experience is something we will never forget, the sacred valley in general is a very enriching wonder full of history and culture.

We made the excursion to the sacred valley and it was quite a success , the agency demonstrated efficacy, kindness and professionalism, pisac, urubamba and ollantaytambo are places worth knowing, the guide was attentive and knowledgeable of the culture and history I understood perfectly why the name of SACRED VALLEY, in which the places we were felt peace and harmony.

I returned from the tour and everything was excellent Service and attention, the information that JOse Luis provided us was fulfilled throughout the tour. The excursion to the sacred valley was a great idea, getting to know Urubamaba Pisac Ollantaytambo up close was satisfying. They definitely did a good job of organizing this whole tour for a group of four was an unforgettable visit.

Thank you for the good treatment and information you gave us from the beginning, for having patience to guide with young children. Doing the sacred valley tour of the Incas was the best thing we did as a family. The agency treated us well and made a good organization so that nothing went wrong. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES a great family walk that we enjoy to the fullest

My children and I made SACRED VALLEY. From our consultation with ENCOUNTROS PERU ADVENTURE to our farewell, all aspects of our tour were excellent. The communication, organization, the guide was exceptional. We were a small group and the guide explained better, he had a lot of knowledge. We really enjoyed our TOUR

My brother and I did the tour, ENCOUNTER PERU ADVENTURE took care of everything to have an enjoyable experience, and it was yes, our guide was very professional very serious when it came to explaining us about each place we arrived always watching over us, the agency has a magnificent organization. We made the reservation through a very attentive and punctual website.

I was really surprised that CUSCO has such beautiful places full of history, I made SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS the excursion of 1 day, I liked it, I was surprised by its archaeological remains that are almost intact and that they have time. Jose Luis was surprising and showed professionalism when guiding, we enjoyed the stories he told us about each place.
