Wonderful places, highly recommended - The Sacred Valley of the Incas is a tour not to be missed, from the moment of pick up Terra Quechua Peru was attentive and punctual, the guide Miguel was really kind and gave us great information about the history and much more. We went to the ruins of Ollantaytambo and Pisac, all with beautiful landscapes. It is a very worthwhile tour. I recommend taking sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. We will come back with more time to see more of Cuzco.

The places you visit are beautiful - Impossible to be in Cusco and not do the excursion to the Sacred Valley, we hired the tour with Terra Quechua Peru in private because we had certain time restrictions, it was a day tour through different villages, where you can see wonderful archaeological ruins, shopping in their craft markets, colorful typical products, and enjoy a buffet lunch, Andy was our guide, and at all times was concerned that each of the group members know the places we were visiting.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, THE BEST!!!!

Full day in the SV - Alfredo was a great guide! I was solo traveler and only English speaker, and he made the time to explain everything in English and answer any questions. The tour was long, but was a good way to see the major Sacred Valley sites when one does not have much time.

Cusco city tour and Sacred Valley full day tour - I was lucky enough to get hooked up with Sutta from TreXperience hiking outfit. I had never done anything like this before and wasn’t sure what to expect. He was very knowledgeable, informative and just an all around nice guy! He was very patient with me, as the altitude was having an effect on my breathing. We went as slow as I needed, and he was very understanding. I would highly advise TreXperience, but especially Sutta as a guide for the many treks that they offer.

Great day of exploring - Our tour was very good and was exactly as advertised. My family of nine was picked up at our hotel at 6:30 a.m. and had a very busy day. The van was clean and comfortable. There were about 20 people in our group using English and Spanish but our guide was fluent in both and went back and forth easily between the two languages. She was very helpful in getting tickets needed to tour the sites and was able to help with getting local currency when we ran short. She provided detailed descriptions of what we were seeing and the history of each place. We were able to visit all the sites and had time to wander around and take photos. We were dropped back at our hotel 12 hours later. It was a long day but an enjoyable one. Lunch was good and the overall price was excellent. I recommend this tour.

Okay trip to the sacred valley - We only had one day to see the Sacred Valley so this was a good tour to see a lot in one day. You didn't get to spend much time at each of the sites. It says that you have to pay additional entrance fees in the description, but it would have been helpful to know how much ahead of time, especially since it was cash only. It was 40 soles per person for all the historical sites and then 10 soles for the salt mines. The lunch stop was good - we enjoyed it. It is marketed as a bilingual English and Spanish tour, but I would say it is better for Spanish speakers. Our tour guide spoke good English, but her explanations in Spanish were much longer and more in-depth. The whole first stop was completely in Spanish so we didn't get anything out of that. At one point, a woman got on the bus and started passing around a drink & then selling the drink, but it was all in Spanish and seemed to be a friend of the tour guide. The last stop of the day was at a jewelry store which also seemed to be owned by a friend of the tour guide. So these both felt gimmicky/trying to get you to spend more money.
