What you'll see and do
Complejo Arqueologico Chinchero
Chinchero (3,762 masl / 12,343 ft.) is a charming Andean village where Inca heritage and colonial influences intertwine. Here, we admire the well-preserved Inca walls that frame the main square, along with ceremonial altars that still resonate with the spiritual energy of the past. We then visit the colonial church, a hidden gem adorned with vivid murals and intricate artwork, offering a fascinating blend of Inca and Spanish traditions. To continue our journey, we immerse ourselves in the world of Andean textiles, where local artisans share their ancestral weaving techniques. Using natural dyes and hand-spun wool, they create intricate patterns that tell the stories of their people—a craft passed down through generations, long before the Incas.

Archaeological Park Ollantaytambo
We continue deeper into the Sacred Valley, following the winding road through breathtaking Andean landscapes toward Ollantaytambo. Arriving in Ollantaytambo (2,792 masl / 9,160 ft.), we step into one of the best-preserved Inca towns, where time seems to stand still. The town’s original urban layout, cobbled streets, and flowing water channels remain much as they were centuries ago. Here, we explore the imposing Inca fortress, a masterpiece of strategic military planning and engineering. Towering above the town, its massive stone terraces once served as both defensive walls and agricultural terraces. Climbing the Temple of the Sun, we take in panoramic views of the valley, while uncovering the site’s role in one of the few Inca victories against the Spanish.

Parque Arqueologico Pisac
Leaving Ollantaytambo, we embark on a 1 hour drive through the Sacred Valley, following the Urubamba River toward Pisac (2,972 masl / 9,751 ft.). Upon arrival, we explore the Pisac Archaeological Site, perched high on the mountainside. Its impressive terraces, ceremonial temples, and observatories highlight the Incas’ advanced engineering and spiritual traditions. From here, breathtaking views extend across the valley. Descending into town, we visit the Pisac Market, a lively gathering place where artisans sell handwoven textiles, silver jewelry, and pottery. This is the perfect spot to experience local culture, meet artisans, and find unique souvenirs. After a day immersed in history and tradition, we return to Cusco, bringing our Sacred Valley journey to an end.

A sure highlight of my Peru trip
I did this tour with tour guide Wilbert, he was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. His knowledge, passion and love for Peru’s history really shines through bringing every place we visited with him to life. As a solo traveller he really looked after me and even though we only had one day together he really got the group to bond and have fun. I have done a lot of different tours so far but this was a highlight for sure.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, It is good to know that you had an amazing tour with the company of the guide Wilbert, we always try to provide the best service to our customers and we are happy with your review. We hope you have the best memories of us. Kind regards, INKAYNI PERU TOURS.

The best experience I've ever had
Traveling to Cusco and meeting our guide Franklyn and Eddy was wonderful, they have not only filled our memories with beautiful memories, but also our hearts. I would recommend once and a thousand times to anyone who trusts Inkayni for their tours, they will not find a better Enterprise and better people to guide them on this journey. Thank you friends Franklyn and Eddy, in Mexico you have a friend and your house.
Response from the operator: Estimada Ana, de parte de Franklin, Eddy y el equipo de Inkayni le estamos muy agradecidos por permitirnos ser parte de esta aventura. Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras y recuerde que cuenta con nosotros para asesorarle sobre tours en Perú para sus amigos y familiares, Saludos cordiales, INKAYNI PERU TOURS.

Peru is incredible and Inkayni Peru is wonderful!
My boyfriend and I visited Peru for 1.5 weeks end of August/early September and booked several tours with this company, including Machu Picchu 2 day 1 night, Sacred Valley private tour, and Rainbow Mountain. Our drivers, Percy and Fabian, were both incredible, got us safely to and from our destinations (even on the curvy, high up mountain roads!), and were just such kind people. Our guide was Jonathan for all our tours and he is LOVELY. He is kind, caring, invested, and has a huge heart. It was wonderful to not only see the sights but get to hear about his experiences growing up as a local in the Sacred Valley. We even ended up spontaneously stopping along our tours to zipline and try cuy at a local restaurant. I highly recommend Inkayni Peru Tours!!! They really made our trip special and Peru is a beautiful, amazing country.
Response from the operator: Dear Shravya, many thanks for your commentary and recommendation. We are happy to know that our guide Jonathan made your trip fun and fantastic. All our staff are grateful for your trust placed in us. We hope you come back soon! Best regards, INKAYNI PERU TOURS.

Customized 1-Day Sacred Valley Tour + 1-Day Machu Picchu for 2
About three months before our trip I did some research on various agencies, and Inkanyi not only offered the best price, but they were also highly reviewed so we decided to go with them. They were so patient and accommodating from beginning to end. My partner and I wanted to do a customized itinerary for our time in Peru. We wanted to do a Sacred Valley tour with the Maras salt pools and then a day trip to Machu Picchu. We also asked if they could take care of our car service to and from the airport. They took care of all everything and met all of our needs! Also, I really appreciated their patience with me because I'm the type to make sure everything is always in order and set. So I was emailing them every week until our trip and contacting them every day when we were in town. They made sure all my questions were answered, and everything was all set for us. I will recommend that you do make sure to follow up with them on your itinerary before you leave, and ask all of the questions you need answered. They will answer them for you, and make sure you get the right information, but if you don't ask, you won't know. Also note that for payment, we did have to pay the other half at the agency. So maybe leave a cushion of time for you to go to the agency to pay for the rest of your trip. We made the first down payment of our itinerary when we decided to book our trip, and we were told to pay the remainder to whoever picks us up, but we actually went to the agency to pay the rest (which I think is probably better anyway, as paying at the agency will give you more peace of mind). It isn't a far walk from anywhere you stay in Cusco either so it wasn't a big deal for us. My partner and I had a day trip set for Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, and we LOVED IT! Saul was our guide for both days, and he was so amazing. He's also THE BEST at taking photos! He's super knowledgeable about the history of the Inkas so you really learn a lot during your tour. If you love learning about the history and fun facts, he's definitely your guy. He knew all of the great spots to enjoy the view and the looks of everything. He even took us to go take photos with llamas. During our Machu Picchu trip, we actually decided that we wanted to take a train at an earlier time. Our tour guide Saul was so amazing! He took us to the ticket booth and helped us get on an earlier train. Since our Spanish is terrible and it was hard for us to call international, so he took the time to call the agency to make sure we got a ride from the Ollantaytambo Train Station back to Cusco. We also asked the agency if they could take us to the Lima airport, and they were nice enough to accommodate the last minute request. We loved our tour because it was small and private so we were able to go with our own flow. We actually thought we were going to be on a group tour, so the surprise was even better. I highly recommend you ask for Saul as your tour guide if you decide to book a day tour or even for a 15-day trek. I just want to thank the whole team for being so attentive. Lissette was very patient and kind. Alex dealt with my late night calls. Edwin made sure to call our hotel to speak to us and confirm our pick up times for everything. Saul was really hospitable to us and made our experience so memorable. I would definitely recommend this agency to anyone.
Response from the operator: Dear Janel, thank you so much for your commentary and recommendation. We are happy to know that you enjoyed so much during your tour for the Sacred Valley and Machupicchu. For us, organizing your tour and having everything ready for your new experience in Peru was a pleasure. All our staff thanks your review. We hope you come back soon. Best reagrds, INKAYNI PERU TOURS.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Sacred Valley Tour + Tourist ticket - Group Service: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Full Day Sacred Valley Tour + Tourist ticket - Group Service cost?
+
Prices start at $66 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 Full Day Sacred Valley Tour + Tourist ticket - Group Service 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 Full Day Sacred Valley Tour + Tourist ticket - Group Service worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Full Day Sacred Valley Tour + Tourist ticket - Group Service?
+
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 Full Day Sacred Valley Tour + Tourist ticket - Group Service 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 10-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Sacred Valley Tour + Tourist ticket - Group Service?
+
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 Full Day Sacred Valley Tour + Tourist ticket - Group Service 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.
