Had a great experience
We found Andean Path Tours right in Plaza de Armas and they were amazing from start to finish. They brought us in, walked us through all of our options for the days we were in Cusco, and gave us a better rate than other travel agencies we checked. They even found us afternoon tours for the day after New Year’s so we could sleep in, which was huge. He messaged us every day before each tour with pickup times and checked in on us throughout our stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. Super helpful, organized, and easy to work with. I strongly recommend Andean Path Tours.

Excellent Service and Amazing Experience
We booked everything with this company, and the experience was outstanding. Carlos was incredibly kind and helpful—he guided us in choosing the right tours, and whenever we wanted to change dates or activities, he handled everything smoothly. We also booked Machu Picchu through him, expecting a group tour, but to our surprise, we got a private tour at the same price! All the guides were professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The prices were also much better compared to other agencies we checked. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this company.

Highly recommended!
Carlos is a very good tour guide & driver. He drives very carefully and makes sure it feels safe to use. He is also a very knowledgeable tour guide, very friend and kind. His rate is reasonable too. I highly recommend his company and service to anyone coming here for leisure and fun.

Adventures with my dad in Sacred Valley
The initial pick up situation was a little rocky, and I wasn’t sure how the experience was going to be because there was a mixup with picking me and my dad up at the hotel versus meeting in the city center. But once the transfer presentation was figured out the entire trip was phenomenal! Our tour guide was absolutely incredible – funny, patient, extremely passionate about the Inca history, and inspiring. We had a wonderful time, seeing so many different sites and hearing about the local history.

Valley Sagrado Full Day Tour
I really enjoyed my tour of the Sacred Valley. Due to last minute changes we booked the tour the day before and Carlos was incredibly helpful and gave us lots of information so we knew what to expect. Our guide Felipe was amazing - very knowledgeable and it was obvious he really cared about what he was showing us. We had a very comprehensive tour of many of the different Incan arqueological sites. Thank you very much to Carlos and Felipe - I will definitely be booking more tours with this company.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley of the Incas and Maras Moray Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley of the Incas and Maras Moray Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $44 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 of the Incas and Maras Moray Full Day Tour 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 Sacred Valley of the Incas and Maras Moray Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred Valley of the Incas and Maras Moray Full Day Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Sacred Valley of the Incas and Maras Moray Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. 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 Sacred Valley of the Incas and Maras Moray Full Day Tour?
+
Around 15 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 Sacred Valley of the Incas and Maras Moray Full Day Tour 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.
