Family of Five had so much fun - Sam was our guide and we had specific requirements. We needed to break down the tour into two days and pick us up from the Cusco airport. Cusco Local friend did what we asked and provided an amazing tour. We had so much fun in the sacred valley, Humantay and Rainbow mountain. Sam showed us a special route that bypassed the crowds. Fantastic company to work with.

Amazing Sacred Valley Day - Everything was fantastic, from booking a private tour and figuring out areas of interest to communication and pick up at the airport. We had one of the best days touring the Sacred Valley with Edwin as our guide. He was so personable and friendly and knew so much about the area. He is an amazing and knowledgeable storyteller and every place we visited felt so special as he taught us the history and helped me visualize the past. He also went above and beyond when the roads to Ollantaytambo were closed for a local festival and got us through to our hotel (a fun adventure in the end). By the end of the day, he was a friend and I was sad to say goodbye! Don’t think twice, book with this great local company.

Brilliant trip . Thanks to Cusco Local friend - What an amazing guided tour we had for three days . We spent two days in and around Sacred Valley then MP for a day. Transport was amazing. Top notch.
From the moment we flew into Cusco we had a call from Hugo giving us advise on what to eat ( not eat) , we felt like we had someone on the other end of the phone 24/7.
Our personal guide Sam was amazing, excellent english, knowledge of local history was fantastic , he was kind ,caring , gave us so much advise when needed & looked out for our health with altitude

Sacred Valley tour - My friend and I had a wonderful experience touring the Sacred Valley with our guide Abraham and driver Juan. They were friendly and safe, and Abraham’s explanations of the sites were rich and meaningful. It was a pleasure to talk to him about topics old and new when it comes to Inkan and Peruvian culture and history. I would absolutely recommend this company!

Highly recommended day tour through the Sacred Valley from Cusco to Ollantaytambo - The tour through the Sacred Valley was a real highlight of our trip to Peru. Our guide Jackeline gave us a wide range of insights, answered all of our questions and gave us plenty of time everywhere. Our driver Edgar was also great and made extra photo stops everywhere. The organization beforehand and communication afterwards went absolutely smoothly. We recommend the tour and the provider without reservation.

MUST DO!!! - This was our favorite part of our trip to Peru! Highly recommend this tour if you want to be immersed into the local cultures while also learning about the history of the Incans. We stopped at many archeological sites that were fascinating as well as the local market and a traditional family home, where we learned how to make chicha de jora. The best part of our day trip was our tour guide, Sam! He was extremely knowledgeable and we felt like we had a friend showing us around his hometown. He is proud of his people and gave made us feel extremely welcomed! Highly recommend this tour!!

Magical Day for our Family - Sam was an amazing tour guide and Christian an amazing driver. We efficiently explored Ollantaytambo, Moray, Maras salt mines and Chinchero. Sam was very knowledgably and really took pride is providing us an amazing experience on our first time visiting the Sacred Valley. Sam also brought us to an amazing restaurant in Maras that was one of our best meals on the trip.

Excellent tour, great guide - This was an excellent trip. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Although there was an itinerary, our guide really went the extra way to tailor it for us. We saw things such as the inside of someone’s house and a little extra hike that we wouldn’t have gotten from one of the cookie cutter trips. We had lunch at a wonderful restaurant and it was the best food I’ve had in Peru so for. Local guide, local company. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Great tour - If you are staying in Urubamba this is a must for you. Another tour company wanted to charge me an additional fee for starting in Urubamba instead of Cusco. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable (I can't remember his name), we learned so much about the history of so many sites we visited.
