About this experience
The Sacred Valley of the Incas is the most popular route in Peru. Since it was a crucial area for the Inca empire and that functioned as an agricultural, spiritual and political center. During the tour we will appreciate beautiful landscapes and archaeological sites Inca and Pre-Inca, Many tourists choose to make this excursion before your visit to Machu Picchu, since you can choose to finish in Ollantaytambo from where you take the train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town).

Traveler reviews
5 verified traveler reviews for Excursion to Sacred valley Full Day from Cusco .. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
The agency is not serious.
They made me wait for 1 hour because they gave me the wrong instructions, scheduling me 1 hour earlier, and when I saw that they were not arriving at the time they mentioned, I tried to contact the agency, and they did not respond until 1 hour later. The visit to Chinchero was almost just seeing it from the outside due to the time and lack of organization. The only good thing about the agency is the guide, who knows a lot of history, and I really enjoyed the visit to the indigenous people who weave and teach you how they process alpaca wool.

A complete day
A very complete day . We traveled through different towns, saw amazing views, and learned about the Incas while enjoying the beauty of the valley.It was nice to take photos, shop in markets, and enjoy the mountain air.

Not reliable tour operator
Tour operator didn't show up despite having re-confirmed a few days prior to tour. I was waiting at pick up point for more than an hour and no-one picked up my calls. My accommodation host had to help out by calling on her phone, which was picked up but the answer was always the same that they would check and call back, but they did not call back. Eventually, I got a message asking me to cancel the tour or reschedule it, for another day. I cancelled it as that was the only day I had in Cusco and I had to reach Aguas Calientes by that evening so booked a cab that took me to Ollantaytambo. I ended up not having the anticipated tour of the Sacred Valley. Overall, not reliable or professional tour operator, who caused me to miss me a much looked forward introduction to the Sacred Valley.

Excursion to Sacred valley Full Day from Cusco .: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Excursion to Sacred valley Full Day from Cusco . cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Excursion to Sacred valley Full Day from Cusco . take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Excursion to Sacred valley Full Day from Cusco . worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Excursion to Sacred valley Full Day from Cusco .?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Excursion to Sacred valley Full Day from Cusco . suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Excursion to Sacred valley Full Day from Cusco .?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Excursion to Sacred valley Full Day from Cusco . start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
