    Inca Culture from the roots to now!

    Valentin and Kenny were amazing tour guides! They shared so much more than their knowledge; they gave us a heartfelt glimpse into the culture, traditions, and heritage of their ancestors. Their deep respect for the sacred land was truly felt throughout the experience, adding a profound sense of meaning and connection to everything they shared. Their personal stories, warmth, and genuine connection to their roots made the tour exceptionally valuable and unforgettable. We are grateful for the passion, authenticity, and personal touch they brought to this experience. Highly recommended!

    Trip of a lifetime

    We were treated like family and felt very safe and comfortable with Valentin, Kenny, and Simon on our extended tour of the Sacred Valley, Machu Pichu, and Cuzco. We appreciated their extensive history and cultural knowledge, friendliness, kindness and humor during our stay. Some of my most memorable travel experiences were in Peru and would not have been possible without their expert guidance. Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Dear Carol, Thank you very much for your words, it was nice to share our time with you ; and above all show you our culture and history. We provide personalized services and ensure that trips have unique and unforgettable experiences. Thanks for recommending us. Warm regards, Valentin

    PERFECT TIME IN THE SACRED VALLEY WITH VALENTIN

    I honestly can't say enough good things about our time with Valetin, Simon and Kenny in Peru. Valentin welcomed us like family and was so proud to show us his beautiful country everyday. We hiked mountains, went to weaving cooperatives, saw Machupicchu and ate the most delicious meal at his family farm. I have traveled all over the world and Valentin's service is second to none. I am honestly counting the days until I can go back and see he and his family again!

    Response from the operator: Dear Pachamama Customer, Thank you so much for your nice words. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We enjoyed showing you our culture, history, textil and gastronomy. Thank you for recommending us. Warm regards, Valentin and Kenny

    Private Ollantaytambo, Pisac Ruins Tour with Farm Visit, Gourmet Picnic Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Ollantaytambo, Pisac Ruins Tour with Farm Visit, Gourmet Picnic Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $197 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 Private Ollantaytambo, Pisac Ruins Tour with Farm Visit, Gourmet Picnic Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Private Ollantaytambo, Pisac Ruins Tour with Farm Visit, Gourmet Picnic Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 56 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 Private Ollantaytambo, Pisac Ruins Tour with Farm Visit, Gourmet Picnic 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 Private Ollantaytambo, Pisac Ruins Tour with Farm Visit, Gourmet Picnic Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Ollantaytambo, Pisac Ruins Tour with Farm Visit, Gourmet Picnic Lunch?

    +

    Around 20 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Ollantaytambo, Pisac Ruins Tour with Farm Visit, Gourmet Picnic 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 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.
