Great day trip
It was a very good day trip which covered all what we wanted to see. The lunch was very decent

Sacred Valley Tour
The overall tour was very good, however it did seem disorganized and rushed at times. Throughout the tour we kept being reminded by our tour guide Andy that we were on a limited time schedule and when visiting each site our group could visibly see that he was frustrated and kept reminding everyone that we would have to leave to go onto the next place. Towards the end of the trip there was supposedly an issue with our tour bus and that we would have to switch busses. Andy completely vanished after this and we were left on another bus and tour group, did not seem as organised as we hoped. On the bright side the new tour guide and group were great, we didn't feel rushed and he explained the history of the remaining places very well.

Our guide Emile did an amazing job! He was translating between Spanish and English, and made sure we understood everything clearly. He was extremely informative and passionate in explaining everything at each site. We really enjoyed learning about the Incan culture and the significance of the Sacred Valley. We were disappointed that some members of our tour were not interested in the information and were only there to take pictures. But Emile really pulled through and ensured we had a great time. Thank you so much!

Organized and Fun
Trip was well organized and our tour guide Jesus was really kind, and timely and kept the tour moving. We had a lot of stops and we felt there was enough time to move through them. Hotel pick up was convenient and the lunch buffet was really yummy and great atmosphere. Only thing was a small confusion about having the tourist tickets as some people in the group had them included and some didn’t but it was easy enough to get the at the locations. They accommodated vegetarians. Get ready for a day of walking and definitely have some cash with you.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the organization, hotel pickup, and buffet lunch met your expectations. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to Jesus; we are incredibly proud of our guides, and it is wonderful to hear how his kindness, punctuality, and great pacing made your day so special. We are also happy to hear that our vegetarian options hit the mark! Regarding the minor confusion about the tourist tickets, we appreciate you bringing this up. Because we offer different booking options and packages, ticket inclusions can vary depending on the specific option selected during checkout. We are very glad to hear that purchasing them on-site was easy and did not disrupt your day. Your closing tips about wearing good walking shoes and bringing cash are spot-on! Future travelers reading this review will definitely find those recommendations helpful. It was a true pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back for another great adventure in the future. Safe travels! Best regards,

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley and Maras Moray Tour with Full Day Buffet Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley and Maras Moray Tour with Full Day Buffet Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $47 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 Sacred Valley and Maras Moray Tour with Full Day Buffet Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Sacred Valley and Maras Moray Tour with Full Day Buffet Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 710 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred Valley and Maras Moray Tour with Full Day 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 Sacred Valley and Maras Moray Tour with Full Day Buffet Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley and Maras Moray Tour with Full Day Buffet Lunch?
+
Around 248 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred Valley and Maras Moray Tour with Full Day 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, 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.

Not included: Cusco Tourist Ticket (Single payment for access to all parks); Entrance to the Salt Mines of Maras; Tips for the driver and the guide; and Pickup and transfer to the hotel.

+
We are specifically in the middle of the Regocigo Plaza Pool between 6:40 to 6:50. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
