5.00This tour is a great way to see the sacred valley and learn about Inka culture. We found our guide to be very informative and open to answering questions. There are free bathrooms along the way and a great buffet lunch. There is a small amount of walking involved but it requires low-moderate fitness. Note that there is a 20S pp entry fee into the salt mines which you must bring cash for.
Great learning

5.00My friend and I booked the tour directly from the nature home hostel. The owner was super cute and helped us arrange for the next day. The day tour departs at 6.20am, the guide passes directly to the hostel and then continues to the main towns of the valley. I would recommend the option of 120 soles instead of 80 because it allows you to have more time to visit during the day and to eat in a very good buffet restaurant where you can taste various typical dishes.
Highly recommended!

5.00Great experience!!! We booked this tour through the owner of our hostel. It was extremely simple thanks to his help. They picked us up from the hostel at the appointed time (6.20am) and from there we made the whole way. We were a group of about 10 people. They are very available to adapt to people's needs: we had the train from Ollantaytambo at 4.30pm and they made sure to be there on time. They gave us two options for lunch, at different costs. We chose the "best" lunch for a difference of 10 euros and it was really good (lots of variety and abundance). I want to thank Christian, the owner of the hostel, who made our stay in Cusco unforgettable!
