Avoid This Tour Operator – Never Showed Up
This was one of the most disappointing tour experiences I’ve ever had. We woke up before 4:30 AM with our 5-year-old child to join the sacred valley day tour. We were waiting at the hotel reception from 6:20 AM as instructed, but no one came to pick us up. We repeatedly called the tour operator from 6:20 AM until 10:30 AM, but our calls were never answered. I was also in constant contact with Viator customer support from 6:30 AM while we continued waiting at the hotel until 9:00 AM. This lack of communication and complete disregard for customers’ time ruined our day. If there was any issue with the pickup, the least the operator could have done was answer the phone or inform us. I cannot recommend this tour operator due to their poor customer service and unprofessional handling of bookings.

Highly Recommend
Great tour! Christian (tour guide) was great - highly recommend if you are short on time and need to see multiple sites in one day.

We booked a day trip to Sacred valley, Ollantaytambo, Písac, Maras moray and Urubamba with our tour guide Christian. It was a great experience and Christian was amazing explaining the history of each place. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area, but he also had a great sense of humor that kept everyone engaged. Highly recommended!

Excursion to Sacred Valley with Moray & salt mines.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Excursion to Sacred Valley with Moray & salt mines. cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 with Moray & salt mines. take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 with Moray & salt mines. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 with Moray & salt mines.?
+
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 with Moray & salt mines. suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Excursion to Sacred Valley with Moray & salt mines.?
+
Around 1 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Excursion to Sacred Valley with Moray & salt mines. 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.
