Wonderful transport and tours
Ruben and Elisban were amazing for the tour and the drive! Excellent stops and very helpful to understand the ruins. A great way to get transport to ollaytaytambo while seeing the sacred valley
via Tripadvisor
Great day out.
A great day out with a really superb lunch provided, drinks are pricey so maybe take your own. Our guide (Jhon) was really good, enthusiastic & informative. Coach was super hot, not sure if air con was working.

Would recommend, ask for John for your quide
John was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and friendly and always totally engaged. The day itself was long but worth it, we saw some amazing sights and the buffet lunch was delicious. The only negative was the driver was a bit erratic and the AC didn't work so the mini van was very hot.

Best experience
We had the best experience without guide Juan and driver Elisban! Learned so much history and saw some incredible sights. Maybe the best part was learning Juan’s perspective on everything - the Quechua perspective on the Inca’s, pre-Incas and Spanish influence on the Sacred Valley area.

Very knowledgeable and...
Very knowledgeable and warming guide to learn so much about the region. Great food where they take us for the buffet as well.

From Cusco Chinchero Moray & Salt Mines drop off in Ollantaytambo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does From Cusco Chinchero Moray & Salt Mines drop off in Ollantaytambo cost?
+
Prices start at $38 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 From Cusco Chinchero Moray & Salt Mines drop off in Ollantaytambo take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 From Cusco Chinchero Moray & Salt Mines drop off in Ollantaytambo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 79 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Cusco Chinchero Moray & Salt Mines drop off in Ollantaytambo?
+
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 From Cusco Chinchero Moray & Salt Mines drop off in Ollantaytambo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Cusco Chinchero Moray & Salt Mines drop off in Ollantaytambo?
+
Around 28 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Cusco Chinchero Moray & Salt Mines drop off in Ollantaytambo 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, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), 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.
