Private Tour of Sacred Valley
I contacted Walter on the advice of a friend when I was in Cusco. I was with my husband and a couple of friends, we decided to take a day trip in the Sacred Valley and Walter suggested the cities of Chinchero, Moray, Salineras and Ollantaytambo. We love all the places visited! The guide was attentive and told us the history of each place.

Very disappointing
Be careful, this company spends a lot of its time and money on marketing and a good website to quickly book things. They’re tours however are extremely basic. We booked a private tour for sacred valley for one day. I reiterated to Willy several times we wanted an English speaking tour guide. We were given a nice woman who took our pictures but by no means actually understood English. She spoke a few memorized rehearsed lines in English about each site but when you asked her any questions she went blank. Not worth an extra $75 US dollars. Our lares tour and 4d Inca trail were with Alpaca expeditions and they did not disappoint.
Response from the operator: Sorry for the inconveniences, Elizabeth. We are going to work hard to solve all those problems you mentioned in the comment. Hope you've enjoyed your time in Peru. Best regards, Conde Travel.

A greedy and over-promise travel agency, DON'T TRUST THEM!
I have saw a lot of good review here, but turn out I was so disappointed of what their service are. I would like to join the Sacred Valley full day tour, before I took the bus to Arequipa. I didn't book the bus yet when I came in to Conde Travel, and the salesman Willy sell me a so-called "VIP tour" that can go all the place in Sacred Valley. It seems nice, right? And he told me the bus will come back to Cuzco at 19:00, and I can get the bus to Arequipa on 22:00. I thought it fit my schedule, and I have booked it. Afterward, I found out there's no such "22:00 bus", the latest one is 20:30, and I send the whatsapp message to the agency, stated that it seems a bit rush for me to do the tour, can the bus take me directly to the terminal? The guy Walter in whatsapp seems don't really know about the situation, he just keep on telling me that it's ok, and you can just take the taxi from the travel agency office. I mean, I planned to walk from my hostel to the bus terminal, and now you want me to pay extra for a taxi? And I don't even have time to eat my dinner! Then, he insists the bus cannot take me to the bus terminal (which is only 10 mins drive), if I want to, I have to buy the bus ticket from their company (I still trust you?!) costs 90 soles (which I bought online only costs 49 soles), if not, I have to go to bus terminal by myself. I said, how come you promise a bus which is not exist, turn out I have to solve the mess by myself? He just offer me another suggestion to refund, which I don't have time to find another tour. Finally, I take a risk to join this "VIP Tour". The salesman Willy keeps on telling me how good is the tour, I can see more than the other classic half-day tour, when the tour started, the tour guide already told us, as we have to go to so many attractions, we will only stay in one point for a short time, I can't imagine, we only stayed in those amazing Inca ruin for only 30-45 minutes, I didn't even have time to walk around! In fact, the tour is not really that rush, in such "VIP Tour", they reserve the time on selling you different things, from chocolate, salt, alcohol, sliver, it takes a lot of time in this selling time! Come on! What is going on? Even when all people is not really interested in those stuff, they still not leave. Finally, I arrive in Cuzco at 19:30, and I have to rush to the terminal with time to buy a small sandwich. I have joined lot of tour in Latin America, I can't say all of them is great, but this one from Conde Travel, definitely the worst in my trip. From the over-promising to the rushing schedule and selling time, it seems like a tourist trap. They just want to earn your money and didn't care about the quality and service of the tour. Don't join the tour from this greedy agency!

Like other reviewers we had problems...
<p>Like other reviewers we had problems with information on pick up since we were staying at an AirB and B. Finally after 3 emails and two phone calls, we were told we would be picked up in 5 minutes. After waiting 15 minutes, the driver finally arrived and took us to the tour bus, which we were told was already filled. We were shifted to another tour company and were driven 15minutes to meet the other tour which was already to the road. Not happy with Condetravel that we were booked with. </p> <p>However the tour company we were passed off to were great. Our tour guide, Angela was amazing!. She was very knowledgeable and Very patient with us. Some of the group lagged behind and she waited for us. I would take a tour with her again. Don't know the tour company she was with but the driver, Carlos and Angela were the best! Thanks for a great, but tiring day.</p>

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley-Full package: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley-Full package cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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-Full package take?
+
Plan for about 12 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-Full package worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 9 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 Sacred Valley-Full package?
+
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-Full package suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley-Full package?
+
Around 3 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred Valley-Full package 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.
What is included in Sacred Valley-Full package?
+
Included: Lunch; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Transport by air-conditioned vehicle; and Driver/guide. Not included: Drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Sacred Valley-Full package include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 172 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Sacred Valley-Full package offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sacred Valley-Full package?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
