Wonderful guide - The wonderful Gilmar Guide! Lots of culture and love for what it does, the operator, however, left something to be desired. When he picked me up at the hotel, he informed me that I had to have purchased tickets for the valley, and he had included these tickets in the package. But once the problem was solved by Gilmar. Rating 10 for the guide, 7 for the operator.

Practical Overview of Our Sacred Valley Day Trip with Mixed Feelings - Our family of four from Australia (husband, wife, and two daughters, 13 and 11) recently took a day trip to the Sacred Valley, starting with a punctual hotel pickup. The inclusion of an animal rescue stop was a highlight, especially for our daughters who thoroughly enjoyed the animal interactions. The weaving demonstration was fascinating, though the subsequent shop visit wasn’t in line with our day's plan, preferring experiences over shopping. The tour guide, Luis, was informative and made our visit to Pisac quite engaging. However, the tour also included a silver jewelry manufacturing demonstration, which, while interesting, was another deviation from our expectation of focusing more on historical and cultural insights rather than commercial stops. Lunch at Urubamba posed a challenge. The restaurant, not being close to other, more affordable options, left us with limited choices. We hadn’t opted for the buffet lunch to save costs (60 sol per adult and 45 sol per child), but managed to negotiate ordering a la carte meals to share, thanks to our guide’s assistance. The visit to the Ollantaytambo site was impressive and a highlight of the tour, justifying its inclusion in our itinerary. However, our experience ended there, as we did not proceed to Machu Picchu like some other travellers. A significant concern arose when we left a couple of items on the bus due to a hasty departure amidst Carnival-induced traffic jams in Cusco. Despite our guide's early warnings about leaving belongings behind, we accidentally left a hat and a jumper. Contacting the tour company, Fredi, resulted in the recovery of the hat but not the jumper, despite repeated inquiries and assurances of checks. Our attempts to recover these items were met with initial responsiveness that faded, leaving us without a resolution or the ability to collect the found hat before our departure. In summary, while the day trip offered memorable experiences and valuable cultural insights, it was marred by an emphasis on shopping and a disappointing post-tour customer service regarding lost belongings. For future travellers, this tour offers a mix of impressive sights and experiences but be prepared for commercial stops and ensure personal belongings are secure.
