About this experience
The Sacred Valley of the Incas is the most popular route in Peru. Since it was a crucial area for the Inca empire and that functioned as an agricultural, spiritual and political center. During the tour we will appreciate beautiful landscapes and archaeological sites Inca and Pre-Inca, Many tourists choose to make this excursion before your visit to Machu Picchu, since you can choose to finish in Ollantaytambo from where you take the train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town). Note: if you are already in the city of Cusco it is recommended to make this tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas to contribute to its acclimatization since it is at a lower altitude. VISITS: Pisaq, Ollantaytambo, Urubamba, Chinchero, colonial temple (chinchero). AVAILABILITY: Every day TOUR DURATION: 8:30 am to 6:30 pm. FREQUENCY: All year

A Day of Adventure!
The tour guide Jonathan was so informative and entertaining. We went to so many places and he had interesting things to say and share. The vegetarians in our group would have liked a little green leaf or something to indicate that the foods were vegetarian but the food was plentiful and pretty tasty. The one thing I didn't like was the driver drove way too close to the cars in front. The cars were tapping their brakes trying to get him to back off. In heavy in town traffic it's ok to be close but not when going so fast.

Perfect day in the Sacred Valley with Christian
We had a wonderful tour through the Sacred Valley. We decided for a private tour to enjoy the Valley in our pace. And it was perfect. Our tourguide was the best. He knew so much about the Incan History and was very attentive, friendly and polite. The driver drove safely and we felt very safe and well taken care of. The included lunch was very good and tasty. The historical sights very amazing. We really enjoyed the whole day! Thank you!

Great tour to archeological sites of Ollantaytambo and Pisac
Alberto our guide and Wilson our driver were both fantastic from start to finish. Pick up was well coordinated and Alberto was so accommodating, professional and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this trip to the archeological sites of Ollantaytambo and Pisac—stunning! There is also a visit to see llamas on the way back and so handy to get dropped off at your Cusco hotel! Wilson is an excellent driver.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, We sincerely thank you for sharing your experience in the Sacred Valley. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed visiting the impressive archaeological sites of Ollantaytambo and Pisac, as well as the beautiful landscapes throughout the journey.

Private Tour to Sacred Valley Full Day with buffet lunch.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Private Tour to Sacred Valley Full Day with buffet lunch. cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Tour to Sacred Valley Full Day with buffet lunch. 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 Private Tour to Sacred Valley Full Day with buffet lunch. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 49 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 Tour to Sacred Valley Full Day with buffet 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 Tour to Sacred Valley Full Day with buffet lunch. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Sacred Valley Full Day with buffet lunch.?
+
Around 17 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 Private Tour to Sacred Valley Full Day with buffet 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, 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.
