    10/10 sacred valley tour from urubamba

    We had a great experience with this private trip. Our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and took great pictures of us :D The car was very nice, clean and comfortable, and the driver navigated the roads very skilfully. It was a full day tour, starting at 8am and ending around 6pm (start and end in Urubamba). The lunch was also good! Good communication with the company before the trip over WhatsApp. Overall, we’d highly recommend this company!

    Amazing!!!

    Rubens was our guide. He was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the history and the present state of all of the sites and towns we visited. Highly recommend if you want to pack a lot into a single day.

    Private tour at leisurely pace

    Booked private tour of the Sacred Valley. Driver picked us up at our hotel and then we drove to Ollantaytambo to pick up the guide and start the tour. Both gentleman were very nice. Our guide, Jose, was extremely knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and went with our pace. After Ollantaytambo, we went to Chinchero for textiles and exploring the town. Delicious lunch at nearby restaurant was included. Then to the salt pools at Maras. A full day, but very informative and interesting. I highly recommend this tour.

    Must do one way Ollantaytambo to Cusco

    Our day trip was absolutely sensational. Our guide Alexander and driver were awesome. We were lucky to have them to ourselves and the information about Inca history was so interesting. Loved everything about this one way trip as when leaving Ollantaytambo we thought this activity had all the sights we wanted to see heading back to Cusco ❤️

    From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sacred Valley.

    How much does From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $123 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sacred Valley usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch 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 Sacred Valley is not rushed.

    Is From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 72 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch?

    +

    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 Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch 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 Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch?

    +

    Around 25 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 Sacred Valley 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 Sacred Valley and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch 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 Sacred Valley 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 Sacred Valley?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sacred Valley experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco ( with Pisac), Machu Picchu Guided Tour from Aguas Calientes, Private Professional Guide in Machu Picchu from Aguas Calientes. 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 Sacred Valley?

    +

    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 Sacred Valley?

    +

    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.
