Worthwhile day trip - Had a lovely day on this tour. You cover some good ground in a day and get to see three archaeological sites. The buffet lunch is good also. Emille was our tour guide and he was wonderful - conducted the tour in Spanish and English and provided lots of interesting information. A good day trip. Thank you

Fantastic Experience! - This was a fantastic day! We had such a great time, and our tour guide, Jonathan, was great! We learned a lot, saw a lot, and got to spend some time exploring on our own! Ollantaytambo is definitely the place most people want to see, but honestly, Pisaq town is really special! You can't go wrong with all you get to see and do on this day trip!

Amazing experience with a great guide - Absolutely amazing tour, with an incredibly passionate and knowledgable guide Jonathan, who guided us through the sacred valley.
Some stops are a bit touristy, but most times you can feel that there is a connection with the local community and you never feel pressured to buy anything (though you should bring some money for the locally made sweaters in Chincherro)
Overall a great experience, a very well organised trip, and amazing value for your money

Excellent way to see the best of the valley in a day - Our tour guide Mika was calm, friendly m, knowledgable about the history of each location and personable. Timings were good - long enough to enjoy the locations properly but short enough to get them all in. Pisac, Ollantantaybo and concern were all stunning and beyond expectations. We made a couple of cultural stops where of course things were available to buy but there was no pressure to. Very good value for money at about £28

Good Tour - Very good trip. There was plenty of opportunities to take photos, buy water and go to the toilet. The stops were all about 30 mins apart so the bus journey was good as well. The guide was full of good information and was very educational

Sacred Chinchero on high - Passing through the Sacred Valley on the way to Puno I stopped at a native market at chilly Chinchero (elevation 3,760m). Lots of bright and colourful native garments and other souvenirs to buy cheaply (I bought a small llama bag). A group of ladies from the local community decked out in splendid traditional garb and over-large broad hats gave a craft demonstration of the traditional method of wool dyeing (dexterous teamwork with balls of llama wool involved!)

Not value for money. - Tour was good but not as advertised. Description of tour includes Pisac Market. Our tour guide said that it hadn’t reopened since Covid. Either Viatour need to update tour description or for some reason, guide didn’t want to take us there. Either way, we did not get value for money and a disappointment for the rest of tour.

Big disappointment - They just didn't follow the itinerary as posted here or on other websites. No pisac markets (granted, it's true they're not as authentic as before but Chincchero markets then?), no stop at the archeological site in chincchero or their church.
Guide miguel was uninspired, just send us off on to the sites without much information.
